No doubt, and they’re free to tweet “the vaccine wasn’t available to much of the public” or whatever. “There was no vaccine available,” the end, goes way too far given that there were nearly 19 million people with shots, wrongly suggesting the whole rollout began under Biden. — PolitiTweet.org

Daniel Dale @ddale8

“There was no vaccine available” is very clearly false. More than 3 million Americans were fully vaccinated and more than 18 million had at least one dose by Biden’s Inauguration Day. Biden himself was fully vaccinated. Obviously became more widely available with time, but. — PolitiTweet.org

Biden, meanwhile, is misleadingly citing a think tank estimate on how much taxes could rise under a totally hypothetical Scott-compliant plan created by the think tank as if it's much more definitive than the think tank says it actually is: https://t.co/oMbIDElh70 — PolitiTweet.org

After issuing a plan that calls for a tax increase, Rick Scott keeps claiming he'd never support a tax increase. He claimed on Fox that he just wants to get people back to work so they then have “skin in the game.” That's not what his plan says either: https://t.co/oMbIDElh70 — PolitiTweet.org

@BryanLowry3 I have no love for the Sixers, but this is fake zombie Deadspin that isn’t worth paying any attention to. It’s the sports equivalent of current Newsweek. — PolitiTweet.org

"Surging Pennsylvania GOP Senate candidate Kathy Barnette has a history of anti-Muslim and anti-gay statements. In many tweets, Barnette also spread the false conspiracy theory that former President Barack Obama is a Muslim." From @KFILE and @emsteck: https://t.co/6vzJqBuGb4 — PolitiTweet.org

And here's a helpful 2021 piece from @jeremyherb and @SaraMurray on how the candidate leading in polls in Pennsylvania's Republican governor primary, Doug Mastriano, has helped push Trump's election lies. Mastriano and Barnette have endorsed each other. https://t.co/vzQFkU1a20 — PolitiTweet.org

And this is a good Philadelphia Inquirer deep dive from last year on Barnette's role in pushing election-related nonsense and on how this stuff has elevated her: https://t.co/sWCRFOPcem — PolitiTweet.org

After a legal settlement, OANN runs actual facts about Georgia election workers who were relentlessly lied about: “…results of this investigation indicate that Ruby Freeman and Wandrea ‘Shaye’ Moss did not engage in ballot fraud or criminal misconduct.” https://t.co/AKEP1Qmj8w https://t.co/GjBgZbKVoS — PolitiTweet.org

@OneEyeTwoHead ...I have to reach out to people for comment when I'm writing about them; that's a basic rule of journalism. And when I'm talking to them about their false claims, I always ask them if they have any plans to correct/retract/delete. — PolitiTweet.org

Daniel Dale @ddale8

Keith has now deleted the false tweet after I reached her and asked if she planned to do so. She said, "I will admit my interpretation of it was mistaken." (She initially said, "I didn’t claim to be a doctor, nor do I claim to be in Tennessee.") https://t.co/wWVjfVibn7 — PolitiTweet.org

I don't know what Tennessee lawmakers think, but the law is written in language that quite clearly does not cover Plan B. See the language on "clinically diagnosable pregnancy" and on "intent." https://t.co/crUDRhrEFu https://t.co/FMmGCsl87J — PolitiTweet.org

@1gratefuljim @twilight2000 Every time I break my no-reading-replies policy, I see stuff like this and regret it so much. Here are the facts: Plan B is currently allowed in Tennessee even under its current ban on mail delivery of abortion pills. The new law doesn't add Plan B to the ban. It just doesn't. — PolitiTweet.org

Daniel Dale @ddale8

It’s not presently clear what kind of contraception policy Blackburn does support. But there are lots of tweets claiming she put forward a plan or statement calling for only married couples to have access, and that’s not true. — PolitiTweet.org

Daniel Dale @ddale8

These tweets about Sen. Marsha Blackburn incorrectly describe what she said. She didn’t say birth control should only be for married couples. Rather, she criticized, as “constitutionally unsound,” the 1965 Griswold decision that ensured married couples’ access to birth control. https://t.co/QVgPCJaRjA — PolitiTweet.org

Daniel Dale @ddale8

@twilight2000 False. Plan B isn’t affected by the new law. It’s about abortion pills. — PolitiTweet.org

Daniel Dale @ddale8

@seb4466 Sure. But the tweet is about Plan B, which is not targeted by the law, and says there’s a $50,000 fine for ordering Plan B, even though there’s no fine even for ordering abortion pills, let alone ordering Plan B — PolitiTweet.org

Daniel Dale @ddale8

I’ll write more later, but you can read an official summary of the new law for yourself at this link. https://t.co/UFLovURnYy And here are a couple of key screenshots. https://t.co/pkvzF8VKfD — PolitiTweet.org

Healthy and Free Tennessee notes that a patient exemption from penalty doesn’t protect patients from potentially being pressured by authorities to give up info on providers. But the law doesn’t allow a patient to be fined for ordering even abortion pills, let alone Plan B. — PolitiTweet.org
