Following Tuesday's deadly collapse of the Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore, some Republican officials, candidates and right-wing pundits attempted to connect the tragedy to some of their most frequent political targets: diversity initiatives, illegal immigration, coronavirus lockdowns and the Biden administration. read more
Russia has intensified its online efforts to derail military funding for Ukraine in the United States and Europe, largely by using harder-to-trace technologies to amplify arguments for isolationism ahead of the U.S. elections, according to disinformation experts and intelligence assessments. read more
Just hours after Donald Trump made it clear on Truth Social that he intends to continue delegitimizing democracy in 2024 if he doesn't win, The Washington Post published a story on the Republican National Committee's alarming criterion for new hires. The report solidifies what's been the fears of election administrators across the U.S. as they gear up for the 2024 election - that the violence and intimidation that came along with Trump's 2020 election denialism will return in full force, and with a vengeance. read more
Michael Areceneaux: According to a report released by the U.S. Department of Agriculture in 2022, as many as 44.2 million people lived in households that had difficulty getting enough food to feed everyone - an increase from 33.8 million the year prior - and that figure included more than 13 million children facing food insecurity. Congress actually did something to try to directly aid children suffering from this national shame. Regrettably, more than 15 Republican governors have said that they will turn down federal money to feed low-income children. read more
President Joe Biden's campaign on Monday released an unusually blunt statement tearing into Donald Trump as "feeble, confused, and tired" after an appearance marked by verbal stumbles as well as a bizarre social media post in which he likened himself to Christ. "He spent the weekend golfing, the morning comparing himself to Jesus, and the afternoon lying about having money he definitely doesn't have," the statement said. read more
Definitely a headline fail. People do not die of starvation in this country.

U.S. Malnutrition Deaths Have More Than Doubled
April 13, 2023
The same trend occurred nationwide, with malnutrition deaths more than doubling, from about 9,300 deaths in 2018 to roughly 20,500 in 2022, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.I've never seen someone so obsessed with proving that they know so very little about things they pontificate about.
Well, that was quick:
NBC reverses decision to hire Ronna McDaniel after on-air backlash
Amid a chorus of on-air protest from some of the network's biggest stars, NBC announced on Tuesday night that former Republican National Committee chair Ronna McDaniel will no longer be joining the network as a paid contributor.
NBC employees argued publicly and privately that their complain was not with McDaniel's party affiliation but with her actions.
The company's on-air personalities - especially those on NBC's liberal-leaning cable affiliate MSNBC - disagreed vehemently, saying that McDaniel's promotion of Donald Trump's media-bashing and false election-fraud claims disqualified her for a role in their news divisions.
You'll say that about ANY Republican not named Romney, Cheney or Kinzinger, Laura Mohr.
Spoken by the ignoramus who has no idea how many Republicans already are paid contributors on MSNBC.
And let it be pointed out that many of McDaniel's MSNBC critics are themselves either current or former Republicans - former RNC Chairman Michael Steele, Bush Comms Director Nicolle Wallace, former GOP Congresman David Jolly, conservative pundit Charlie Sykes to name a few.It's the same reason none of Nixon's Watergate conspirators were hired by media companies. McDaniel actively tried to assist Trump in trashing constitutional rule in America by parroting his Big Lie over and over again.
As most have made crystal clear, the backlash isn't about McDaniel's political party, it's about her direct complicity in assisting Donald Trump's attempt to delegitimize U.S. elections with lies regarding nonexistent voter fraud, especially in Michigan as she joined Trump on phone calls with state officials in his efforts to overturn their certified results naming Joe Biden the state voter's presidential choice in 2020.

She even changed her name - dropping Romney - in aquiesence to his psychopathy. She has no place in non-Trump slurping media.
