• Politicians’ outright <a href="https://c.im/tags/lies" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>lies</span></a> must be identified, not just labeled as their “response” or “position.”
• Instead of obsessing over <a href="https://c.im/tags/polls" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>polls</span></a>, devote extensive coverage to <a href="https://c.im/tags/analyzing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>analyzing</span></a> the Heritage Foundation’s “<a href="https://c.im/tags/Project2025" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Project2025</span></a>” and Trump’s <a href="https://c.im/tags/fascist" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>fascist</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/agenda" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>agenda</span></a>.
