Politico wrote up Zohran playing basketball with the uncovering-a-big-scandal tone the same day the NYTimes wrote up "credible allegation that The President of the United States raped a woman" as a political strategy story. Broken media in a nutshell

One of the hallmarks of Trump is that he lies repeatedly about elections that he won.

Trump never won Minnesota. 2016: Clinton 46.4%, Trump 44.9% 2020: Biden 52.4%, Trump 45.3% 2024: Harris 50.9%, Trump 46.7%

I don't know that there is a definitive line to cross that makes you say, "I live in a police state now" but when masked gunmen can routinely brutalize the public, citizen or immigrant alike, with impunity, you have reached that point.

Gaslighting 101: The AG is literally calling us crazy for thinking Trump will use the levers of government power to overturn the results of an election, when he has a documented history of doing just that. That’s tyranny.

BASH: The worry is that we end up in a situation where President Trump tries to overturn the election and the result of that could be like what we saw after January 6-- BLANCHE: Stop it! You gotta stop it with that! That's crazy BASH: This is a president who has a history

Republicans in Washington State have placed a measure on the ballot requiring that EVERY girl who participates in sports must first undergo a genital exam. That's right. To "protect" young girls, Republicans want to poke their vaginas. That reminded me of something from the Epstein files.

Trump said he’s prepared to settle the Camp Lejune cases — but he won’t if voters fail to make him happy. This transactionalism has become so common — and so scandalous — that I put together a growing list of recent incidents. (If I missed any good examples, let me know.) www.ms.now/rachel-maddo...

NEW: A Democratic official said she believes the GOP-led election board in South Carolina's Clarendon County is attempting to suppress Black votes by consolidating six voting sites. About 10% of the county’s voters will now have to travel outside their precinct to vote. https://demdock.com/4k9p1ID

Democrats have reached an all-time high in KPOW, driven by a rise in their U.S. Senate majority odds to 65%, also a new high. The latest movement reflects growing market confidence in Democratic prospects for control of U.S. Congress ahead of November's midterms.

That Vivek Ramaswamy ad might end up being the worst own goal we've seen in a major race. Platforming the estranged mother of your opponent to attack her, only for everyone to discover that the mother protected the rapist of her 12-year-old daughter and stayed married to him, is beyond despicable.

Part of the answer to "how did we get here?" is that many major journalists—since 1998, Crawford has covered SCOTUS for PBS, ABC, and CBS—are lying bigots. Here Crawford is praising a guy who asked a dumb racist question, glitched out when asked why, then admitted he wanted a Christian theocracy.
