X (formerly Twitter) is releasing new Terms of Service effective January 15, 2026. Media Matters for America does not accept these new terms.

You can still find us elsewhere: Bluesky, Instagram, Threads, TikTok, and of course, at mediamatters.org, where we are still full speed ahead calling out right-wing media misinformation.

Hannity: Do you have any plans to meet with Machado and would you accept the Nobel prize she wants to hand to you? Trump: I understand she's coming in the next week sometime….that would be a great honor. https://t.co/0K96Bry5Zj

JD Vance on Renee Good: "I think she's a victim of left-wing ideology. What young mother shows up and decides they're gonna throw their car in front of ICE officers who are enforcing law? You've got to be a little brainwashed." https://t.co/7sdh0WT69Y

@MattGertz If Trump did this the media would have relentlessly celebrated it and he'd be using it as his primary accomplishment in his re-election campaign. But because it's Biden, barely anyone knows about it. 7.4K views · 182 likes · 20 reposts · 11 replies Open on X →
