The people now in charge of the Office of Personnel Management apparently don’t know how to scrub PDF metadata, and have exposed the original authors of the guidance they’re publishing. Two, Noah Peters and James Sherk, have links to the Heritage Foundation and Project 2025.

Great piece by @sarahellison about the conspirational mindset that thrives in our chaotic, manipulated information spaces. The article shares a few of the insights I've gained this election season so here're some highlights 🧵

Conspiracy theories, which played a role in the US election, are symptoms of a larger problem says Professor @stef_friedhoff of @IFL_Brown: "People cannot agree on a common set of facts (because) they do not live in the same information realities." washingtonpost.com/politics/2024/…

Why we need professional journalists: @JDVance rep tells @wsj about Anna Kilgore, a Springfield OH woman whose cat went missing in August, so @Kris_Maher drives to her house. She found the cat in her basement and apologized to her Haitian neighbors.
