Everything you need to know

🤝 The US and Mexico have struck border agreements. Mexican officials have not yet provided specifics, but they claim to have struck "important agreements" with the Biden administration about illegal immigration into the United States. Mexico also underlined its desire to maintain unrestricted trade between the two countries. This comes after a record-breaking 302,000 migrants were intercepted by US border officials in December at the southern border.

🗳 Trump was removed from Maine's ballot for 2024. Trump's eligibility to run for president in Maine was ruled invalid by the state secretary due to the January 6, 2021, Capitol "insurrection." Trump can still run in every other state as of right now since Colorado allowed him to reappear on the ballot while a Supreme Court petition is still being processed. Michigan and California, meanwhile, have turned down demands to have him removed.

💰 The governor of Ohio, who is supported by children's hospitals, defends gender norms. After receiving more than $40,000 in donations from medical facilities that promote the surgeries, the Republican governor of Ohio Mike DeWine recently vetoed legislation that would have prohibited sex change treatments for minors. Dewine has stated that "the government" should not have any say in "medical decisions made by [a child's] parents."

⚖️️ The Israeli Supreme Court overturns a law limiting its authority. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's legislation was intended to curtail the Israeli Supreme Court's ability to overturn any measure it deemed "unreasonable," but the court ultimately decided to uphold this legal criterion. Israel is on the verge of a constitutional crisis amid a war when the choice to implement divisive reforms strikes at the core of the country's cohesiveness.

🏛 WASHINGTON D.C

Censorship began after Democrats lost 2016

The scoop: In reaction to Democrat election defeats in 2016, former President Barack Obama assisted in starting an initiative to combat internet "misinformation" and "disinformation." In a well-known move to suppress COVID-19 claims, the authorities collaborated with digital platforms during the following presidential election.

The background: Following Donald Trump's election as president and the outcome of the Brexit referendum, the British intelligence agency started collaborating with American officials on the initiative. A whistleblower who was once involved in the endeavor claims that the Obama White House instructed a British analyst to stop a "repeat of 2016" before Trump's inauguration.

Why it’s important: This contributed to laying the foundation for the widespread censorship that exists today. Documents reveal that the 2016 elections were a political operation from the start, carried out by public and private actors who wouldn't accept the results. Their response went beyond suppression.

Angry losers: The organization attempted to punish social media users by attributing the election results to a poor "information landscape." They discussed harsh strategies like forcing banks to freeze the assets of political activists and protestors.

• Identifying names: They became known as the Cyber Threat Intelligence League (CTIL) in 2020 and began watching particular accounts and reporting anti-lockdown posts for deletion.

• First Amendment loophole: The CTIL acknowledged that, in the absence of government "legal authority," it relied on private organizations to control expression.

Zoom out: The constitutionality of the U.S. government's censorship-by-proxy will shortly be decided by the Supreme Court. The fresh records are being turned over to Congress for review by journalists who had conversations with the whistleblower.

The Media falsely claim Trump quoted Hitler

Here is what’s going on: For stating that illegal immigrants are "poisoning the blood of our country," former President Donald Trump has been falsely accused by corporate media sources of imitating Adolf Hitler.

Regarding whom is Trump speaking?

What is reported by the media: It says in multiple headlines that Trump is criticizing "immigrants."

The facts: Trump does not refer to immigrants in general when he talks about "illegal immigration." He especially mentions unlawful border crossers who have a history of risk, a criminal record, or a medical condition. The health commissioner for New York City has declared that increased rates of tuberculosis and polio are being caused by undocumented immigration from areas plagued by disease.

• What Trump stated: During the initial interview, Trump stated, "We know they come from prisons." "We are aware that they are from mad asylums and mental health facilities. They are terrorists, as we know. It is tainting the blood of our nation. Individuals are presenting with illnesses.

Trump, is he quoting Hitler?

What is reported by the media: Trump's remarks, according to one source, "are straight out of" the late Nazi leader's books. Others assert that he "verbatim copied," "echoed," or "adopted" Hitler's anti-Jewish sentiments.

The facts: Hitler's statements that specifically discuss "race" and the idea that white people shouldn't associate with "inferior" populations are cited by the media. When questioned if he was alluding to race, Trump has never once stated it and has always said "no."

Why it is important

This is nothing new: Throughout his presidency, the establishment media perpetuated falsehoods about Trump that have mostly never been acknowledged.

• Exhibit A: Following the Charlottesville protests in August 2017, Trump was mocked by the media. Though Trump stated clearly at the time, "I'm not talking about the neo-Nazis and white nationalists because they should be condemned totally," many claimed he termed neo-Nazis "fine people."

Big picture: Dramatic anti-Trump narratives, centered around the idea of a racist, fascist tyranny if he wins reelection, are back with a vengeance ahead of the 2024 elections.
