@DanRather Republicans have managed to convince everyone that the GOP is the rural party, even though they have done the most harm to rural/agricultural life. Same for workers/laborers. Same for the religious. People have bought the packaging but somehow don’t see the real item inside.
Putin’s Mouthpieces Brag: Elon Musk ‘Really Is Our Agent!’
Kremlin propagandists admire Musk's anti-Ukrainian rhetoric, praise his “exquisite hat” and proclaim that his new nickname is “Elon Moskal.”
My latest for @thedailybeast:

.@POTUS knows the importance of unions. That’s why he joined the UAW picket line yesterday.
Right now, unions across the country continue to stand up and advocate for the rights of working Americans — and they deserve our support. This week’s WGA deal is an example of what’s possible. Keep going.
ABC News contributor @whignewtons on the Democratic party: “The Democrats have had a historically weak bench for the last 10-plus years because everyone is Joe Biden's age … there's no one to replace him on the ticket and they're stuck with him.”

The media always underestimates Joe Biden. It never works. He won in 2020. He had the strongest midterm result for an incumbent president in 60 years. He’s achieved more than any modern president. Ignore the polls. Joe Biden WILL win in 2024. I joined MSNBC earlier. Watch/share👇
This hurts and I’m tired of it.
The horrible new ABC News/Washington Post poll finds Donald ahead by 9 points against President Biden.
The MEDIA is to blame for this.
In 2016, watching broadcast and cable news normalize Donald, a corrupt and incompetent man, was very difficult for me to endure.
They presented him as if he were a legitimate candidate, despite the many failures and crimes he’d left in his path for over 60 years.
They had no problem airing his rallies in full; they ignored credible allegations of business fraud and sexual assault—as well as actual evidence of his multiple bankruptcies, horrific treatment of treatment of workers, and gob-smacking failure as a “deal-maker.”
And you know what’s horrifying?
They are doing it again. And this time, it’s worse.
As cable news organizations struggle for ratings, they spend more time talking about Biden’s age than Donald’s 4 indictments, 91 criminal charges, and disastrous first terms. Plus, Biden is only THREE years older than Donald!!! In 2016, Donald was the oldest president in history to be elected and no one talked about his age.
That’s because this narrative is complete bullshit.
It is not normal for someone with 91 criminal charges across four jurisdictions to be a party’s front runner for president.
It’s not normal for the media to talk about a man who’s accused of launching a coup against our country as a legitimate candidate.
It’s not normal for the media to talk about a man who was found legally responsible for rape as a legitimate candidate.
None of this is normal.
I know this poll is an outlier, but in a sane country Biden would be ahead by 40 points. In a healthy, functioning democracy, Donald would not even be allowed to run.
I’m fighting back in part by cataloguing in my newsletter not just his crimes but the crimes and complicity of his enablers. We know the corporate media won’t do it on their own. 👇🧵
Help me get the word out before the media’s kid glove treatment gets Donald back into the White House.
We can’t let that happen.
Every Democratic Senator who demanded Al Franken’s resignation must demand Senator Menendez resignation today so NJ Democratic governor can appoint his replacement.
Who will be first?
Senator Gillibrand started the stampede against Senator Franken.
What’s she waiting for?
North Carolina Republicans passed bill today stripping Dem governor of majorities on state/local election boards & giving gerrymandered legislature huge new power to overturn elections & limit early voting in Dem areas. Scary stuff https://t.co/zMXm984A2r
My god, this story—former White House Aide Cassidy Hutchinson says the reason why Trump was so opposed to wearing masks, even at the height of the #COVID19 pandemic, was that they rubbed off his face bronzer. 🤦🏻♂️ #MaskUp
