30—70% of fertilized eggs NEVER IMPLANT SUCCESSFULLY, EVEN WITHOUT #BirthControl, acc/to Michael Belmonte, an #OBGYN in DC & a #FamilyPlanning expert w/the American College of Obstetricians & Gynecologists (ACOG).

Many #Americans do not understand the difference between #abortion pills, which end a pregnancy, & emergency #contraception, which prevents it. Nearly ¾ of Americans incorrectly think that emergency contraceptive pills can end a pregnancy in its early stages, according to a 2023 poll by KFF, a nonprofit focused on national #health issues.
Antiabortion groups are stepping in to fill that knowledge gap w/ #disinformation.#UninformedElectorate #education #law #ReproductiveRights #BirthControl

The result is that much of the original speech is First Amendment-protected — say a member of #Congress [#HouseRepublicans] declaring that resources being sent to #Ukraine should instead be used to patrol the southern border of the #UnitedStates. But the amplification is engineered in #Russia or by #RussianInfluencers.

In recent days, #intelligence agencies have warned that #Russia has found better ways to hide its #InfluenceOperations, & Treasury issued #sanctions last week against 2 Russian companies that it said supported the Kremlin’s campaign.
The stepped-up ops, run by aides to #Putin & Russian #military intelligence, come at a critical moment in the debate in the #UnitedStates over support for #Ukraine.…

Ya think?
a. Few people actually read beyond the headline & lede.
b. The reporting beyond that was behind a #paywall!
c. They totally effed up #Biden’s #diplomatic trip particularly w/ the world leaders he was hoping to get to help w/ #humanitarian efforts.
to be fair bit wasn’t just the #NYT.

“The report included a large headline at the top of The Times’s website.
“#Israel subsequently denied being at fault & blamed an errant rocket launch by the #Palestinian faction group #IslamicJihad, which has in turn denied responsibility. #American & other #international ofcls have said their #evidence indicates that the rocket came from Palestinian fighter positions.

…The #5thCircuit 3-judge appeals court panel subsequently broadened its order this month to extend to government officials w/ the #Cybersecurity & Infrastructure #Security Agency #CISA, saying those ofcls *probably* acted improperly in trying to coordinate w/ #SiliconValley to protect #elections from #online #hoaxes.

…In asking #SCOTUS to intervene in the matter, SG Elizabeth #Prelogar wrote in a filing that the order issued by an appeals court last month would impose “unprecedented limits” on the admin’s ability to “use the bully pulpit to address matters of #public concern” & call attn to potentially #harmful #online #content.

As is customary in emergency orders, the majority did not explain its reasoning for granting the #Biden admin’s request. But #conservative Justices Samuel #Alito, #ClarenceThomas & Neil #Gorsuch dissented from the decision not to leave the lower court order in place, calling the development “highly disturbing.”

Tha above quote was released by an unnamed spox (TFG) for the #Trump campaign re the #GagOrder.
Literally none of those things ↑ are accurate.
Same for this ↓Trump’s campaign has now sent out a #fundraising email falsely claiming the current president is behind the order. “A GAG ORDER HAS OFFICIALLY BEEN IMPOSED ON ME AT THE REQUEST OF JOE BIDEN,” it says.

He always wanted to be king of something, & he’s certainly the king of #disinformation:
#Trump has made casting himself as the #victim of *unfair* prosecutions a centerpiece of his campaign message. He had been #fundraising off the potential of a #GagOrder even before it was issued. “Today really isn’t about gagging me,” he wrote in one email to supporters on Monday. “It’s an attempt to gag the American people.”
Um. No.

Sign this #Petition to #TeleviseTrumpTrial
In the selective #news #media environment of the day, it is in the best interest of the public for Trump’s trial on his #ElectionInterference, #conspiracy, & involvement in the #Jan6 #insurrection to be televised. Too many people get their information from #biased sources that often omit anything that does not support their preferred #narrative. This creates a situation where we have an #UninformedElectorate.
