This is a beautiful paragraph:
The @nytimes.com may have finally arrived.

It's chilling - like something out of a dystopian movie - to read a piece like this, about America.

Jesus. Literal preschool lessons now counts as high level political discourse.

That's the timeline we're in.
"The Trump administration is hailing a potential deal that may return the U.S.-China relationship to where it was before the president began a trade war against Beijing."

Our military is being paid by an anonymous donor.

Our WH East Wing was demolished for a ballroom - paid for by donors.

These aren’t acts of benevolence or patriotism.

This is the oligarchy assuming control, insidiously becoming part of how we function.

Every American should reject it.

I don't know who decided that sports wanted to see and hear interviews during games but it is a trend that needs to be fired into the sun.
I suspect we all think, yes, they would vote for that Dem.

If that's the case, that feels like a pretty darn critical piece to the story of rural voters.
What we're left with, is a report on things that were measurable. Fine. 🤷🏻‍♂️

But here's a thought exercise: if Fox News did a hero turn and supported a Dem House candidate in a rural district as "one of the good ones," do we think that district's Fox viewers would reliably vote for that candidate?
Midway through, this guest shares that her study had "no way to measure the impact of Fox News or talk radio or social media."

Yikes. I appreciate the challenge in measuring that stuff, but that's a pretty significant qualifier if you're trying to understand the rightward turn of rural America.

East Wing would still be standing if Kamala Harris was our president.

Hope everyone who refused to vote for this awesome, uplifting and adorable woman is proud of themselves right now.

Illinois Secretary of State Alexi Giannoulias has issued a warning about license plate tampering and has launched a reporting hotline to address the issue.
"Don't confront...coddle!"

Sorry, nope. You've badly misread this moment.
These are extras from Zoolander 2, not bodyguards.
It tells you something when a population wants to restrict access to vaccines, but not guns.
More than 420 anti-science bills attacking longstanding public health protections – vaccines, milk safety and fluoride – have been introduced in statehouses across the U.S. this year, part of an organized, politically savvy campaign to enshrine a conspiracy theory-driven agenda into law.

Lol. And then MAGA would take the cue, and show up with picks and axes to tear down the Capito....oh wait, that already happened.

It’s not his house. It’s your house. And he’s destroying it.
Not just that, it would also form the basis for more toxic rhetoric from right wing politicians, and calls for further military incursions against American cities.
