It seems @realDonaldTrump is having trouble coming up with his “Fake News Awards.” Instead we can honor the watchdogs holding him accountable and bringing about change in America.

By no means exhaustive, here are some of the fantastic people you submitted. #TruthHasAVoice

From Trump’s bogus voter fraud claims to disbandment of the voter fraud commission, @ProPublica’s @JessicaHuseman has been diligently covering everything in between.

University of California at Irvine student/up and coming investigative journalist @ScottMStedman has been doing tremendous reporting unearthing new details about the #TrumpRussia scandal.

In-depth reporting from @CBSNews’ @DavidBegnaud gives us a window into the horrific conditions #PuertoRico is facing because of @realDonaldTrump’s inaction.

The #MeToo movement and national conversation about sexual harassment took off with @jodikantor and @mega2e breaking the long history of Harvey Weinstein’s predatory behavior.

Author and @VanityFair writer Michael Lewis covered how the Trump administration is dangerously changing the government, especially at the Departments of Energy and Agriculture.

These influencers are driving the conversation on health care, a fair economy, civil rights, and our democracy: @Amy_Siskind @ShaunKing @RBReich @Alyssa_Milano @SethAbramson @jimmykimmel @PreetBharara @ASlavitt @CrookedMedia @TVietor08.
