This is exactly how .@FoxNews propaganda works. Not by lying outright, but by choosing exactly which true facts to show you, and which ones to bury.
Yes, Massachusetts removed its 24-week limit. What Fox doesn't tell you: this covers rare, devastating cases, fatal fetal anomalies, maternal health emergencies, so families don't have to fly out of state during the worst moment of their lives.
Also missing: "very few" abortions happen after 24 weeks at all. Fox lets you imagine healthy, full-term babies being aborted on a whim. That's not what this law does. That's the manipulation.
This is the same network that agreed to pay $787.5 million for lying to us about stolen election. They do so much harm to our nation.
A blue state just legalized abortion up until birth.
Surrounded by applauding women, Massachusetts Gov. Maura Healey signed a sweeping abortion bill Monday that removes the state’s gestational age limit, giving health care providers greater discretion to perform abortions later in pregnancy.
The law replaces the state’s previous general restriction on abortions after 24 weeks, with limited exceptions, and is set to take effect in 90 days.
Massachusetts becomes the 10th state to remove gestational age limits on abortion, according to the report.

Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Massachusetts already allowed post-24-week abortions for fatal anomalies and maternal health emergencies. The new law removes those specific qualifying circumstances and instead permits them based solely on a physician's judgment, with no listed restrictions. wbur.org/news/2026/08/1…

George Washington declined to be featured on currency when he was living, fearing it would be reminiscent of a monarch.
Congress in 1866 passed the Thayer amendment, which stated "no portrait or likeness of any living person shall be engraved or placed upon any of the bonds, securities, notes, or postal currency of the United States."
Breaking news: Trump administration officials have pressed the Bureau of Engraving and Printing to design a $250 bill featuring the president’s portrait, in what would be the first appearance of a living person on U.S. currency in more than 150 years. wapo.st/4dQNsGj

Without The Princess Bride (one of my all time favorite movies) there is no The Book of Life. Gracias for the endless inspiration, Maestro Rob Reiner. Your legend, like your films, will outlive us all.

Donald Trump is betraying our legacy of defending our allies against tyranny.
Since the President clearly won’t do his job,
In Congress, we damn well better do ours.

Nearly two-thirds of 2023 elections had just one candidate on the ballot, giving voters no real choice. What kind of democracy is this when most races are unopposed?

Europe has given about $80B more aid to Ukraine than the US — Trump’s numbers are brazenly fabricated and self-serving. @Morning_Joe

Democrats wanted this to happen. They’ve wanted Trump gone for years and they’re prepared to do anything to make that happen.
Just this congress, Reps. Troy A. Carter Sr., Barbara Lee, Frederica Wilson, Yvette D. Clarke, Bonnie Watson Coleman, Jasmine Crockett, Joyce Beatty, and Steve Cohen all cosponsored legislation to TERMINATE Trump’s Secret Service protection.
Why would they want that? You know the reason.
Others may have been killed —innocent people that were there supporting President Trump and all they wanted was to Make America Great Again and they may have been murdered for it.
Thank GOD Secret Service was there for Trump and everyone else at today’s rally.

We are not being asked to send American troops into war, only to help the Ukrainians defend themselves. If we fail to help Ukraine, Putin will invade a NATO nation. Ukraine is not the end, it is a step—and letting Putin have his way with Europe would jeopardize our security.

Mr. Putin, end this war.
Tell your people that (1) your soldiers stopped NATO forces before they invaded Russia; (2) you eliminated the NAZI threat; (3) Russia no longer needs to occupy Donbas and Crimea now that these threats are gone. Say whatever you need to.

Please read the Constitution, specifically the 1st amendment.
It is great that you have faith in your God, but he needs to be left at the door when you govern.
America is a country where you are free to be a Christian, NOT a Christian nation.

We need a restoration of civil discourse in this country. The lack of it is affecting every part of our lives - from politics to business to family relationships.
Tomorrow, I’m confronting this issue head on - join me on this journey: a.co/d/2zwbRQs

Japanese Fuminori Tsuchiko lived in Kharkiv subway for months during the war. He went out to get food for them under shelling and helped in any way he could.
Now Mr Tsuchiko decided to move to Kharkiv permanently - he sold his home in Japan.
Glory to Hero! Thank you!
