Check out the new episode of the STRESS TEST podcast hosted by me and @garrisonhayes.bsky.social. We look at how Elon Musk has become the leading disinformation agent of this election. And there's more: Kimberly Guilfoyle's grifting, the DHS's Omar raid, and JD Vance's juvenile homophobia!

We’re less than three weeks from election day. Is it time for the GOP to panic? @garrisonhayes.bsky.social and @davidcorn.bsky.social have answers on this episode of Stress Test.

Allegations of lies, loans, stolen valor, and a missing bunny. @davidcorn.bsky.social and @garrisonhayes.bsky.social report on the most scandal-ridden midterm candidates in this year's midterm elections. The latest on "Stress Test."

NYC's @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social will open this year's Climate Desk Live with @garrisonhayes.bsky.social for a fireside chat focused on affordability, environmental justice, and extreme weather. This event is currently at capacity, but it will be livestreamed! Tune in Sept. 24 at 9 AM EST.

Protests erupted on Wednesday in Nashville as Republicans in Tennessee raced to slice up their state's sole Democratic district covering the majority-Black city of Memphis. Mother Jones’s @garrisonhayes.bsky.social is on the ground at the State Capitol covering the upheaval:

Thank you @garrisonhayes.bsky.social of @motherjones.com Get it together people. “The More You Know”…😒 youtu.be/ajPYQcEFaOg?...

@donlemonofficial.bsky.social and @garrisonhayes.bsky.social in an important discussion on the continuous destruction of black political power in this country. We aren’t paying enough attention to our elections and too many people in our community don’t care🤦🏾‍♂️ www.youtube.com/live/aN3kyxk...

Thinking about this today 🫶🏾

Progress in this country never comes easy or quick. For every few hard-earned steps forward, we might stumble a couple steps back. But sometimes, the slow, steady effort of generations is rewarded with justice that arrives like a thunderbolt.

The “liberal media” said this would happen.

Anyone else kind of annoyed by this outcome?? Good for democracy, no doubt. But where were these people 5 months ago? America is weird.

Ahhhhhh!! What an honor to be nominated alongside creators I genuinely admire. You deserve this, Kat!

Unidentified men grabbing someone off the street and putting her in a car because she wrote an op-Ed. This as flatly authoritarian as anything we’ve seen in this country in a very long time.

The “DEI Content” purges are insane. Latest w/ @motherjones.com youtube.com/shorts/QbRJ7...

The ten Democrats who voted with Republicans to censure Rep. Al Green: Ami Bera Ed Case Jim Costa Laura Gillen Jim Himes Chrissy Houlahan Marcy Kaptur Jared Moskowitz Marie Gluesenkamp Perez Tom Suozzi clerk.house.gov/Votes/202562

🗣️🗣️🚨🚨 Are you thinking about running for public office? I’d love to hear from you.

Fully anticipate that a new crop of democratic candidates have been born tonight. Born of rage and disappoint. Expect competitive primaries.

Democrats are rowdy. Rep. Al Green removed.

Begging Black Republicans to explain how this is good for our grandparents. QUICKLY.

Omg?

What drives me crazy about the anti-DEI rhetoric is everyone wants to be judged on merit. But you can't be judged on merit if you can't even get in the door because you don't fit some prejudiced definition of who is capable and who isn't

This white female Boomer is pissed!

This white lady isn't either!

It’s not just people of color who are upset. The rest of us have eyes as well, even if some choose not to use them. I’m pissed. Wrong is WRONG. Full stop.

The final episode of @joyannreid.bsky.social’s award-winning show, The ReidOut, starts in just a few minutes. Black folks aren’t happy about it. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Math is hard

Step one: break the government Step two: shout "see? Government doesn't work! We need to privatize!" Step three: profit

Even if this isn’t “corruption” (it is), it is deeply corrupted.

I think we should avoid reinforcing the co-opted and corrupted use of “DEI” to mean something undeserved given at the expense of the deserving. @garrisonhayes.bsky.social over at @motherjones.com did this great clarification on DEI and "meritocracy." bsky.app/profile/moth...

RFK had/has very real support from IRL people I’ve spoken to and I’ve concluded that Americans hate America as a country, but love America as their idea. Very little “us/we,” lots of “I/me.”

McConnell is doing the thing where republicans grow a very tiny bit of courage and compassion at the end of their political career. It’s boring to me.

SCOOP: Nancy Mace's so-called "victim hotline" isn't a hotline—it's a voicemail that nobody answers (@juliannemcshane.bsky.social called 3x).

@garrisonhayes.bsky.social did a great video about this topic youtu.be/ARKvxeNCp84?...

The @karenhunter.bsky.social show welcomes Video Correspondent for Mother Jones; Webby Award-Winner, NABJ 2024 Salute to Excellence Winner, Filmmaker, Storyteller & Journalist: Garrison Hayes! @garrisonhayes.bsky.social #KarenRebels

@garrisonhayes.bsky.social listening to you on the Karen Hunter show!

I actually lost it right here.

GAME OVER.

It kind of feels like they’re telegraphing the three-peat just a little too much.

And another thing — the World Wide Web is virtually unusable outside of social media. Every website has 78 pop up banners and countdown videos in the bottom right corner. I click onto a webpage and I am inundated with garbage ads and cookie permissions and newsletter signups and and and and and and

The real questions is how much does the music industry hate Drake for the 13,000 voting members to award Kendrick for THAT song??? 🤣🤣🤣
