Here are parts of last night’s post from Heather Cox Richardson. You should read the whole thing. This is important news that is being overshadowed by the fight over nominating and confirming a replacement for RBG. Today Americans were roiled by an article in The Atlantic, detailing the method by which the Trump campaign is planning […]
This video is an oldie but goodie, and bears repeating.
A remarkably sweet ad from the Lincoln Project celebrating the life of RBG.
Ok, this is pretty gross, but fascinating and oh so apropos. It is a portrait of Donald Trump, made entirely from pig entrails. And apparently they used a pig’s anus for the mouth.
Thing that I expect will happen: Evangelicals will claim that God killed Ruth Bader Ginsburg so that Republicans can appoint another arch conservative to the court. Mitch McConnell will ram someone through, despite the hypocrisy of sitting on Barack Obama’s nomination of Merrick Garland for most of a year. In fact, McConnell has already said […]
Last week, former DHS officials Miles Taylor and Elizabeth Neumann formed the REpublican Political Alliance for Integrity and Reform (REPAIR), consisting of current and former Trump officials who oppose his reelection. We already knew that Biden leads Trump in the key demographic of people who used to work for Trump, but it is interesting that […]
“Biden leads Trump among women, people of color, and former members of the Trump administration.” @WindsorMann “Trump campaign strategy now clear: he’s running against the election itself.” @sbg1 “Is it just me, or did Nixon do a hell of a lot less than Trump at this point?” @chipfranklin
[I can’t resist reprinting today’s entire post from Helen Philpot, she of the wonderful blog “Margaret and Helen“. It is epic. Enjoy! –iron] This old lady took the Trump IQ Test and she is smarter than the President. You can take the test here. Margaret, there is a new test out to determine if you are […]
We have a new commandment: I guess the clothing company Patagonia has had enough. They have started putting a new hidden tag into their lines of active clothing: Many people are buying Patagonia products just to get one (or more!) with the special tag. The best part of this is that it isn’t even overtly […]
Daniel Dale fact-checks claims made by Donald Trump during the ABC town hall. It has gotten to the point that the majority of what Trump says is a baldfaced lie.
I believe that social media has become the most powerful and potent purveyor of propaganda in existence. A memo written by a now-former data scientist at Facebook is full of multiple concrete examples of the company being aware of it being used to spread propaganda, but doing nothing about it. In fact, Facebook and other […]
Donald Trump claiming that he totally downplayed the seriousness of Covid-19 and the pandemic to “prevent panic” is one of the most hilarious things I have ever heard come out of his mouth. If it weren’t for Trump’s incompetence, far, far fewer people would have spread the disease. Did he not think that hundreds of […]
Heatwaves, out of control fires, strong hurricanes, shrinking ice sheets, sea level rise — these are all dangerous effects of global climate change. So how does the Trump administration respond? By appointing climate science denier David Legates to a top post at NOAA, which runs the National Weather Service. The head of NOAA under Barack […]
