"The campaign claims the 'joke' does not reflect the candidate’s views…his actions as President tell a different story. …Trump wanted to 'swap' Puerto Rico for Greenland 'bc in his words, Puerto Rico was dirty & the ppl were poor,' his Homeland Security Chief of Staff said." nul.org/news/irony-t...

Our team is seeing lots of these this morning ... reports of voting machine issues that get wrapped into rumors of concern or suspicion. We published an article last night describing voting machine rumors, including some (lightweight and early) comparison between 2020 and 2024.

I’m so old, I remember when it was Republican mantra to mock what they insisted was going to be a Democratic-imposed ban on Big Gulp-sized sodas. Rush Limbaugh lived and died insisting that eating red meat, smoking cigars and drinking liquor were what it meant to be a conservative man.

It's worth emphasizing the job market in journalism is absolutely abysmal right now and Mariel Garza had almost 10 years at the paper. This is really something.

Hahaha this is so blatantly illegal and/but the FEC is toothless and slow so election law isn’t real in any meaningful sense for rich people.

During his attempts at addressing matters of policy, to the extent Trump is able to do that at all, he appears lethargic and distant. For for locker room penis size chatter, the former president noticeably brightens and shows energy.

When I was talking thru this story & the reporting with @ryanbort.bsky.social, he quickly came up with a version of this headline & tho I imagine some may view it as “biased” there is no other objective way to interpret what Trump is running on in his own words www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

I get ticked off when prominent people w/ money & influence cynically lie to the public about elections & voting tech. Elon Musk said a lot of bullshit last night. So I wrote an op-ed for MSNBC. Here are the facts. h/t @hayesbrown.bsky.social for setting this up 🙏 www.msnbc.com/opinion/msnb...

Republicans have spent decades saying fucking food stamps are buying votes, which is an outrageous lie and now you have Elon literally buying votes in one state (which is as good an example that the EC must die a terrible death as any).

The fact of the matter is Trump wants a large regional war that threatens a new world war involving the United States because chaos helps his campaign. Full stop.

P G Wodehouse was born 143 years ago today. So many wonderful sentences. Here’s one: “Into the face of the young man who sat on the terrace of the Hotel Magnifique at Cannes there had crept a look of furtive shame, the shifty hangdog look which announces that an Englishman is about to speak French.”

Of course they're right. But.... Given the NYT's record normalizing Trump, seeking out every last Trump voter in every diner east of the Mississippi, I do think the NYT is unfit, too.

Trump isn't trying to get people to vote for him. He's trying to prevent people from voting for his opponent.

The Republicans know that it is not about how many votes are cast it’s about who counts the votes that matters. Increasingly, the Republicans have made it clear that their goal is not to win by the popular vote, but to win by undermining poll locations and decertification of actual vote totals.

This is not “unconventional.” It’s voter suppression. It’s voter intimidation. It’s election interference. It’s anti-democratic, un-American, and it must be defeated. Are you registered to #vote?

The Post analyzed the transcripts and images featured in more than 700 campaign ads that mention immigration this year. Taken as a whole, the ads convey an unrealistic portrait of the border and inaccurately characterize immigrants generally as a threat.

Hey! Somebody else gets it. This whole week has felt like I had a massive mental breakdown. The Trump campaign designs and prints "Mass Deportation Now" signs that are gleefully held aloft by smiling white delegates, and the biggest story is still somehow Democrats anonymously attacking Biden.
