Ahead of Election Day, I talked to AP about extremist groups. Organizing abilities of groups like Proud Boys are way less than they were in 2020, but the threat of political violence is as immediate as ever. It just looks a bit different this go around!

I talked to the great @KyleYSpencer for @ReportingRight about how journalists can do a better job of covering *the education wars.* Hint: spend less time on the latest crazy (litter boxes! surgical suites!) and more on the why https://t.co/L0hdQjgRH8

Consider: A new NYT interactive has the dramatic headline, “How Harris Has Upended the Presidential Race."(https://t.co/ilb5mnf2WD)

But it reveals nothing different than my February piece on the Electoral College Landscape! (https://t.co/7SOf6cN744)

(That piece links to a nifty DIY spreadsheet that needs no updating six months later.)

Trump cannot contain his disdain for the Black community - w/ his usual lies about VP Harris.

[BrooklynDad_Defiant!☮️ @mmpadellan]

HOLY SHIT, trump just destroyed HIMSELF at this NABJ Convention, when asked why Black people should vote for him when he's been so disrespectful...

His answer was evasive and straight up disrespectful.

Journalists: This is Christian Nationalism: the GOP Cult - Voters in your communities NEED to know about! @AP @Poynter @azdemparty @democracynow @JoinTheUnionUS @reedgalen @RightWingWatch @az_rww @ffrf @seculardotorg @soledadobrien @MollyJongFast @RSPolitics @WalshFreedom

[Deprogram America @DeprogramUSA]

This video was paid for and posted by the Maricopa County Republican Party. Add this to the evidence that religious zealots a.k.a. Christian Nationalists own the GOP and are done pretending to be "normal" extremists.

Trump's Project 2025 is the dream that absolutely no one's been waiting for!

[Reporting Right @ReportingRight]

The American media is simply ill equipped to meet this moment. Period. News-tainment is just not appropriate right now - but that’s all these folks know how to do -

[The Lincoln Project @ProjectLincoln]

Let's not forget who this man is.

@BidensWins Thanks CNN for letting a guy get on stage and lie for an hour and a half?!?
