MAGA Whips Up Conspiracy Theories To Muddy An Act Of Right-Wing Violence talkingpointsmemo.com/news/minneso...

submitted 1 hour ago • 5 comments

For MAGA influencers (both in and out of office), right-wing violence doesn't exist. When those on the right commit it, they are either secretly liberal (Minnesota shooter), it wasn’t actually violence (Jan. 6 “tourists”) or their victims deserved what they got (the hammer attack on Paul Pelosi).

Finance Committee text is out - this has the Medicaid cuts and the tax cuts. Will go through it in this thread. But what we can say for certain is that, like the House version, this would be BY FAR the largest Medicaid cuts in history, kicking many millions of people off their health insurance.

The chaotic and disastrous dismantling of USAID is fueling hunger, poverty, disease—and death—around the world. We care deeply. We should all care. Maybe it’s not happening to Americans right now. But destroying USAID threatens global stability—and our security too.

I hope people understand the deep roots of the violence afoot in our society and how it truly puts all of us at terrible risk. There is a direct line from right-wing rhetoric and influence and availability of weapons to the kind of terrorist rampage we tragically experienced this past weekend.

My law firm is currently litigating 55 voting and election cases in 24 states. Two points: This is a very large caseload for this point in the election cycle. It is more evenly spread across states than usual which reflects the creep of voter suppression laws into even safe GOP states.
