Hi there, It’s Wednesday. Today, we’re talking about the Trump administration threatening to cut off nutrition funding unless states share data, a critical Fox News defamation trial, and a Supreme Court case that could change oversight over crisis pregnancy centers. Meanwhile, Trump is now calling “affordability” a Democratic scam, gaslighting Americans about soaring prices while pushing policies that have made everyday life even more expensive. 🖊️ Add your name demanding the media stop echoing Trump’s spin and start exposing the truth about rising costs and who’s responsible.

Behind the scenes, Fox News' controlling owners, executives and biggest stars didn't believe the wild claims from President Trump and his allies. Nonetheless, the voting tech company's officials received death threats. Its reputation and financial prospects were badly damaged. These claims stood at the heart of a hearing Tuesday afternoon before a New York judge over whether a multi-billion dollar defamation lawsuit against Fox News should be allowed to proceed to a full jury trial. The lawsuit is being brought by Smartmatic, a London-based voting technology firm that played a limited role in the 2020 race but was, nonetheless, accused on Fox shows of taking votes away from Trump and throwing them to Biden. Smartmatic is suing for $2.7 billion. The reason these allegations are so familiar is that the company's claims closely echo those from a defamation lawsuit brought by Dominion Voting Systems. Fox News stars and their on-air guests also blamed that company for Trump's loss, as they served up a stew of baseless conspiracy theories about the election.
