They should take away the govt provided insurance they get for being in Congress. The members are all wealthy enough to find their own.

Before the Tyre Nichols video was even released, right-wing media had already launched a disinformation campaign surrounding a supposed “antifa poster” calling on protesters to “burn it all down.” The claim stems from a Daily Mail article, which didn’t report where it obtained the alleged “antifa poster,” nor did it show any proof of its existence. 1/
The Daily Mail article was recycled & reproduced by a bunch of non-credible & right-wing websites, including the Post Millennial & Free Republic. Again, all of these articles are sourcing a Daily Mail article about a supposed “antifa poster” that wasn’t even pictured in the article.
This is how the right-wing media ecosystem works: They launder information until its original, non-credible source is obscured, and they manufacture truth through repetition and volume. 2/
Fox News opened up its 7pm and 8pm blocks with coverage of the “antifa poster”. This was the first time the supposed poster was actually included in news coverage, but still no info about where it came from or how it was verified.
A brief glimpse at the “antifa poster” — with instructions to “bring rocks, heavy objects, pipes, etc” — makes it clear that it’s fake. They manufactured an entire news cycle based on a fake antifa poster. But that’s just the beginning! 3/
I did a reverse image search based on the screengrab I got from Fox News. The visually-similar images were all from police websites, and “Find Image Source” told me the source was … the NYPD (which, I figured, was likely because of the NYPD shield in the image — more on that in a second). Tineye didn’t find any matching images. So I kept hunting. 4/

Additional searching led me to this tweet from from “Rob O’Donnell,” which is the first appearance I’ve been able to find of the supposed “antifa poster” online. The Daily Mail article was published about an hour after the tweet.
The person who tweeted it (“Rob”) is a former NYPD detective. So perhaps that reverse image search was leading me in the right direction? 5/

This would hardly be the first time that a law enforcement source has shared mis/disinformation about antifa. In one example, sheriffs in Washington State circulated right-wing disinformation about an “antifa bus” — then used the fake “intel” as “evidence” to justify aircraft surveillance of protesters. 6/
https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2021/a
Similarly, a sheriff in Washington state sent out an email alert to other members of law enforcement saying that antifa was responsible for starting wildfires in the PNW — disinformation that ultimately led to an attack on an innocent family.
As recently as yesterday, the LAPD was also reportedly circulating false information about antifa from right-wing sources. 7/

At the protests in Los Angeles tonight, there were multiple stringers with professional camera rigs acting aggressively, shoving people, getting in people's personal space, and trying to provoke fights. After the protests disbanded, at least three of these stringers were seen huddling with LAPD.

past two days.
Dominion vs FOX reveals Fox sold the rubes the company line (the Big Lie), and, the rubes bought it and repeated it. Ad nauseum
Fulton County found no voter fraud. Another case of the rubes buying and repeating the company line.
Ad nauseum
And no drag queens charged with child molestation. Bucking the Fox Company line.
Again, bought and repeated
Ad nauseum
........
Makes one wonder what else gets filtered down from Fox the rubes bought and repeated
Ad nauseum
side note, covid vaccination was required of Fox employees.
So Tucker too was ...
