It's tempting to see Trump's Alaskan adventure as more electoral skullduggery. But it's a dangerous escalation of his attacks on democracy. He's not trying to suppress votes, he's trying to steal votes that have already been cast. My latest in @thenation.com www.thenation.com/article/poli...

Catch of the Day- 474! Late in the season!

Well… this seems like our future

Yeah, this man should not be allowed to practice law, and any failure to take away his ability to practice law after all of this would be a part of the end of the rule of law in America.

Early this year, I visited Ingram, a TX town of ~1,900, to check out a tip. The area was starting to recover from its worst flood in a century. But as Latino workers drove to jobsites to help rebuild, the tipster said, a cop in a black Dodge Charger kept stopping them ... 🧵

This is terrifying. A bird flu outbreak has been raging uncontrolled on a mink farm for months. Experts fear it could spark a devastating human pandemic. And officials are refusing to act. What a story from @natlash.bsky.social: www.propublica.org/article/bird...

What the Attorney General of the United States seems to not understand, but the people who matter do, is that Congress hasn’t given DOJ any authority to block states from certifying the election. This isn’t a thing. And we don’t have to pretend it’s a thing just because he says it’s a thing.

Doctors and nurses are voicing their objections. I-638 would require EVERY girl who wants to participate in sports to go through biological sex verification. That means expensive, invasive, and utterly gross examinations. Protect our kids and let them play. Vote NO on I-638

Microsoft literally told fragile white guys to use AI to compete with Black co-workers.

I spent last night writing about Trump's waterfront land grab in DC. Things are crazier than I thought, and MAGA has the National Park Service seriously gaslighting the public over it. 🧵

You’d think the mediocre whites and their AAPI allies would be happy. They “won” on affirmative action and black student enrollment has plummeted. But they’re not happy. As long as there’s *one* Black person in school they’ll still run to SCOTUS Their next target is 5th graders Me in @thenation.com

I don't know how people can vote for a guy who platforms an abusive mother who married her daughter's rapist. But I'm pretty sure that the people who *can* vote for Vivek Ramaswamy after this are actually very bad people.

Huge follow-up reporting to my scoop: The Guardian confirmed America Next—the conservative nonprofit founded by Bobby Jindal that was offering students $ to disrupt El-Sayed events—paid a firm registered to Tommy Teepell’s dad Timmy $250k for “canvassing and influencer marketing” against El-Sayed.
