The illusory truth effect is a well-studied and replicated psychological phenomenon that describes the fact that if a falsehood is repeated often enough, people will start to believe it. This has to do with familiarity – it’s easier to process information you’ve comes across previously.
Remember - they wanted him as Attorney General.

If you haven’t seen this SiriusXM video in which Megyn Kelly excuses Epstein and others for rape by stating that they weren’t sexually abusing eight-year-olds, only 15-year-olds, save yourself the time.

It’s vile.

REPUBLICAN REP. MASSIE: “I vote with my party 91% of the time… But when they're protecting pedophiles, blowing our budget, starting wars overseas — I'm sorry, I can't go along with that.”

This 👇The eight GOP senators who would likely be eligible to file claims are Lindsey Graham (SC), Bill Hagerty (TN), Josh Hawley (MO), Dan Sullivan (AK), Tommy Tuberville (AL), Ron Johnson (WI), Cynthia Lummis (WY) and Marsha Blackburn (TN).

Yet they complain about the "abuse" of SNAP benefits!
McGovern: Buried in this bill is a corrupt kickback for eight Republican senators, a million dollar payday funded by taxpayers, taken from the treasury and deposited directly into their pockets. What the hell is wrong with this place?

Just to be clear, a Utah judge didn’t throw out the GOP’s biased new map because of a “partisan opinion.” Utah voters approved redistricting standards. The GOP ignored them. The map violated the voter-approved rules, that’s why it was rejected.

Voters > politicians.

Karoline Leavitt does almost daily press briefings. There should be equal and opposite briefings from Democrat spokespeople to counter her lies. God knows there would be plenty of material to counter.

Both Jacky Rosen and Tim Kaine came late to game and decided to vote Yes yesterday - look at the contributions they've both received from United, American and Delta in 2024. I cannot help but think this was a factor.

We MUST get big money out of politics.

Suggestion for all the posts with complaints about what happened yesterday - tag the Democratic Senators who voted yes - tag Democratic leadership - tag the Democratic Party - tag your Democratic representatives and governors. It needs to be told directly to them what disastrous decision they made.

Observation: SFO immigration entry on Fri was about 99.9% US citizens. Not a foreign tourist in sight. Husband noticed the same in Houston. All the lines were US citizens or legal residents. Granted, it may be off season, but I cannot blame anyone for wanting to visit the US at this time.
