You sure can see the tiny hands of Donald Trump on the party apparatus. Most Republican officials, even MAGA, do not want any of this. They know that people like to vote early and they know that it can benefit them. But no, “Honest Don” wants people to only vote on election day because he’s so stupid he thinks that allows him to win. He also wants all counting of all the (paper) ballots to stop on election night. Did I mention that he very stupid?

This is disgusting but unsurprising. Racist pseudo-science is making a comeback thanks to Elon Musk. Recently, the tech billionaire has been retweeting prominent race scientist adherents on his platform X (formally known as Twitter), spreading misinformation about racial minorities’ intelligence and physiology to his audience of 176.3 million followers—a dynamic my colleague Garrison Hayes analyzes in his latest video for Mother Jones. […] In 2022, just one week after Musk purchased Twitter, the Center for Countering Digital Hate —an online civil rights group— found that racial slurs against Black people had increased three times the year’s average, with homophobic and transphobic epithets also seeing a significant uptick, according to the Associated Press. More than a year later, Musk made headlines once again for tweeting racist dog whistles in a potential attempt to “woo” a recently fired Tucker Carlson. But, his new shift into sharing tech-bro-friendly bigotry carries its own unique set of consequences. Garrison also talks to Dr.

That he’s managed to convince so many people that it was the greatest they’ve ever experienced is a testament to the power of lying repeatedly I know that the media is hooked on telling the “vibes story” but maybe if more of them would tell the “facts story” like the following, the vibes would be different: .@SteveRattner: Trump’s tax cuts increased the deficit, even before COVID. Biden brought it down. Trump added more debt than any other president in history. The idea that he was going to attack the deficit and debt problem is actually completely false pic.twitter.com/Jwe1CoxL0d — Biden-Harris HQ (@BidenHQ) March 14, 2024 Trump’s tax cuts increased the deficit, even before COVID. Biden brought it down. Trump added more debt than any other president in history. Also: Chris Hayes has been doing this all week and it’s excellent too. And more of this please: Democrats’ newest trick is introducing hilarious montages of Trump, but here at #LNSM we’ve gotten it down to an art form.

Are you better off now? Yes you are. Four years ago today, Trump bragged that only “50” Americans had died from COVID because of his “good decisions” Over 1 million Americans would go on to die from COVID pic.twitter.com/Bc9vWM7zCf — Biden-Harris HQ (@BidenHQ) March 14, 2024 I can’t even believe we have to have this conversation. The idea that the MAGA dunces would actually be asking it says everything about their bizarre confidence that the majority of Americans have forgotten everything.

It’s 8 pm in Gaza, Palestine right now, the end of my fourth day in Rafah and the first moment I’ve had to sit in a quiet place to reflect. I’ve tried to take notes, photos, mental images, but this moment is too big for a notepad or my struggling memory. Nothing prepared me for Continue reading »
