Another malicious and ridiculous MAGA lie:
Posts saying that a Judge Joseph Barron on the United States Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit ruled pardons granted by former U.S. President Joe Biden on the last day of his presidency to be unconstitutional stem from a satirical Facebook page.
There is no judge by that name on the Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals, and a review of the court's website, opens new tab shows that no such decision was issued as of Feb. 4.

If we are to survive as a democracy and if free speech is to have any value at all, these MAGA lies . . . and the spreading of them . . . must stop.
