Billionaires used to build libraries and hospital wings, now they just buy politicians. This is why we cant have nice things.

David Blight’s opening statement during yesterday’s hearing on how the Smithsonian presents history.

This comes in response to repeated attacks on the craft of the American historian, defending the work of those who are trained professionals - not “political activists.”

[Troy Jackson @TroyJackson207]

Susan Collins lied to Mainers. She helped destroy Roe v. Wade, she advanced Trump's $990 billion Medicaid cuts, and she gave ICE $70 billion continue its rogue terror campaign.

Together, we will replace her with a Senator who gives a damn about working people in this country.

@AndrewMarchand Are the Euros somehow not “a big stage?” Yamal had a modest World Cup, but the idea that he’s an unproven, perhaps overhyped kid seems unfair to what he’s already done for Spain and Barca.

[Derek Buckaloo @DerekBuckaloo]

@MaxBretosSports True—also, as a France supporter, I waited (and waited) for the turn in that semi, and it never came. Enjoyed your work during the cup, Max!

@hedgehogreview Administrators want to control tuition prices by controlling labor costs. AI promises to help. In my essay, now out from behind the paywall, I explore different theories of what drives the cost of college and caution against automating education: https://t.co/GnVjMUYlxH

Ossoff: "Here's what's going to happen tonight: the world's most famous sore loser will deliver a prime-time presidential sour grapes address to pursue his 6-year-old grievances about the 2020 election, while his war in the Middle East spirals out of control and the cost of living continues to rise for Americans across the country. I expect the president to reheat debunked conspiracy theories about the repeatedly litigated and audited and confirmed 2020 presidential election in Georgia, an election that Donald Trump lost. And let me be very clear about this: if the President declares Georgia's election illegitimate, or if the President declares Georgia's sitting United States Senators illegitimate, he is declaring Georgia voters illegitimate. It's Donald Trump who tried to defraud Georgia voters in that election, Donald Trump who tried to commit election fraud when he called Georgia's Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger -- and it was caught on tape, and you should play the tape to your viewers today -- and badgered and bullied Georgia's top election official to 'find him' the votes that he needed to win in a state where he had lost."

@FrankMarco44337 @idobadtakes They each have advantages, but affordable parking, lack of chaos at the curb (easy pickups!), and no TSA line, and the absolute calm that these bring at a smaller airport, is definitely valuable! ✈️

Israeli settlers, brandishing American made M4s, detained me & other Americans on my trip to Palestine.

When the IDF arrived, they sided with the settlers & continued our detention.

They made a huge mistake.

@IanDarke @landondonovan Always a pleasure, @IanDarke--thank you!!! ⚽️

[Andrew—#IAmTheResistance @AmoneyResists]

This woman is reciting Trump’s words exactly as he said them during the NATO summit.

We have become so inured to Trump’s incoherence that is sanewashed by the media 24/7 that we fail to recognize just how much he’s declined.

Reading a transcript of his words makes it SO CLEAR.

@schadjoe Money does it, but, yes, for the good of the actual tournaments: World Cup of 32 teams, March Madness of 64, etc.

[Mike Nellis @MikeNellis]

DNC is out with a simple yet brutal new ad using Trump's own words against him on inflation.

[Terry Moran 🇺🇸 @TerryMoran]

It’s not about arguments. It’s about facts.

I know one great fact about American elections, and I know it because the Republican Party has proved it to me:

There is no election fraud of any consequence anywhere in the United States.

The Republican Party and its allies, FOR DECADES, have been searching high and low, in every corner of our country, for evidence of election fraud.

This effort has been made with vast sums of money and other resources, and with some of the greatest powers in our nation at the party’s disposal:

A presidential commission under President Donald Trump.

The Department of Justice under President Donald Trump, armed with the resources of the FBI, and the powers of subpoena.

Committees of Congress under Republican control, also armed with the powers of subpoena and the investigative resources of the first branch of government.

State legislatures under Republican control, also with subpoena powers, have launched similar efforts to find evidence of election fraud.

Republican-controlled states have set up special commissions and task forces, some with subpoena powers, all well-funded and with access to the state’s electoral systems.

Conservative academics and think tanks have launched projects seeking out evidence of election fraud.

Fox News and the rest of MAGA media have dedicated significant resources to finding evidence of election fraud.

What is the result of this enormous Republican effort to find election fraud?

Ask The Heritage Foundation.

For nearly a decade, Heritage has maintained an “Election Fraud Database.”

The database contains “proven instances of election fraud.”

It covers elections going back nearly fifty years.

That’s billions and billions of American votes.

Right now, the total number of proven instances of election fraud that Heritage can document is:

1620.

That’s an infinitesimal number, vanishingly small, and it is solid proof of two things:

1. Some individuals commit election fraud.

2. There is no evidence at all of systemic or even widespread election fraud anywhere in the USA.

The election-fraud panic is the Big Lie of our time.

It is peddled by people who know better. Their own investigations over decades demonstrate that.

Stop trying to subvert our democracy.
