🚨 IMPORTANT MESSAGE 🚨

Candace Owens’ trip to Russia should be looked at as part of something much larger: a new influence campaign that is about to hit the United States hard — not just through social media influencers and bots, but through people on both sides of the political spectrum who are being used to divide, distract, and manipulate these platforms.

Some of them will come pretending to be friends. Some will come pretending to be credible. Some will come pretending to be on your side.

That is how influence operations work.

And you are already seeing the attacks play out against truth tellers. The latest example is what happened to Ellie Leonard — attacked by accounts pretending to be credible while working to discredit independent voices who have actually been doing the work.

I am asking each and every one of you: be careful. Be vigilant.

We are all tired. We are all angry. We all want accountability. But before you attack, verify. Before you share, verify. Before you believe an account just because it says what you want to hear, ask yourself: Who is behind it? What are they pushing? Who benefits from the division?

Listen to independent journalists and independent voices who have proven themselves with facts, receipts, and truth — not just personalities, not just influencers, not just people you like watching.

Facts matter. Truth matters.

There is a lot coming in the next several months. These midterms are not just important to us — they are important to Trump and the people around him who are desperate to stay in power.

That is why this moment matters.

Stay vigilant. Stay united. Verify everything. And do not let them turn us against each other.
