Ah, the WashPo! Its headline says GOP “tried” to steal black #VotingRights. No, they succeeded!!! washingtonpost.com/news/wonk/wp/2… #NC09 #NorthCarolina #NorthCarolinaSpecialElection #VoterSuppression #ElectionFraud #StopTheSteal
Of course, the #JeffBezos House Organ cannot bring itself to say that these #JimCrow tricks stole #NC09. So, may this one time statistician and sometime journalist say, “they stole the 9th.” gregpalast.com/jim-crow-steal… #NorthCarolina
Hey, @WashingtonPost, we've fixed your headline:

The ‘Smoking Gun’ Proving North Carolina Republicans Disenfranchised Black Voters washingtonpost.com/news/wonk/wp/2…

Before a single vote was cast, the 2016 election was fixed by GOP and Trump operatives. By purging voter roles, they decided whose votes got counted. Trump was selected, not elected. Don’t let that happen again. [1/2] rollingstone.com/politics/polit…

I cannot think of anything more dangerous than Paul "TheVulture" Singer seizing control of @CNN through a takeover of its parent company, @ATT. Well to the right of #DonaldTrump, Singer’s the new #Koch Brother — but more dangerous. bloomberg.com/news/articles/… #PaulSinger #TheVulture
@CNN @ATT #Trump is clearly expecting an editorial shift from #CNN following #PaulSinger's newly disclosed $3.2 billion stake. bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

On Sept 9, Trump tweeted this...
@CNN @ATT For more, read my report on the untold story of the sources of the loot controlled by Paul “The Vulture” Singer and why he needs to buy the White House: gregpalast.com/rubios-billion… #PaulSinger #TheVulture #ATT #CNN

THE WAY WE WERE: Take a trip back to 2016 with me for a reminder of the way we were and everything that has changed.

Decide what’s worth fighting for.

Let’s start here. We once had a President who was universally loved—welcome wherever he went.
bbc.com/news/world-us-… @BBCNews
1/ Eight years into his presidency, Obama’s approval rating was sky high: “More than 70% of people in 18 countries polled by Globescan think that his election was a good thing.

Of the 19 countries surveyed, only the Russians had a negative view of him.”-@BBC

We’ll get to that.
2/ We knew who our allies were and we firmly aligned with long-standing Western values.

We were looking forward to witnessing our first female President work with those allies.

A headline such as this wasn’t even a remote possibility.

Coming into Jackson Hole, economists are grappling with a major issue: Can central banking as we know it be the primary tool of macroeconomic stabilization in the industrial world over the next decade? In my forthcoming paper w/ @annastansbury, we argue that this is in doubt. 1/
There is little room for interest rate cuts. In every US recession since the 1970s, the fed funds rate was cut >500bps. In most, the real rate fell >400bps below the neutral rate. Now, the max. feasible cut is 200-300bps, bringing the real rate only 150-250bps below neutral. 2/
This limited space for interest rate cuts is true of the US, which has the highest interest rates in the industrialized world. It is even more true of Europe and Japan. 3/

A study of 1 billion votes cast between 2000 & 2014 found 31 instances of in-person voter impersonation fraud.
Meanwhile, NC GOP tried to steal a 2018 congressional election via absentee fraud using loopholes GOP legislators passed. washingtonpost.com/news/wonk/wp/2…
washingtonpost.com/blogs/govbeat/…
Voter impersonation at the polling place is practically nonexistent. If Republicans really gave a damn about election integrity, they'd support the federal govt providing free & universal national ID cards when they talk voter ID, but they don't. Whole point is voter suppression
North Carolina Republicans literally ordered data on the types of IDs that black voters were disproportionately less likely to have & made it so only those types of IDs satisfied their voter ID law requirement #NCpol washingtonpost.com/news/wonk/wp/2…

This is a thread for people - particularly teenagers and people in their early 20s - who're worried that some stuff the alt-right says is correct.

This is a thread I wish I'd had access to myself in my early 20s when fascists were bombarding me with propaganda.

I hope it helps.
Firstly, let it be firmly established: the right-wing are liars who lie.

A massive amount of the stuff the alt-right tells you is just a flat-out lie. Here's a far-right US ambassador having to admit, in shame, that he lied about the Netherlands.

Here's anti-trans hate group Mass Resistance admitting to having "concocted" the entire "bathroom intruder" lie in order to convince people to fight the expansion of LGBTQ rights.

THREAD: The new tax law is a raw deal for the middle class. 83% of the benefits go to the 1%, and it blows a $1.5 trillion hole in the deficit. But don't just take my word for it, here's 42 examples of how the #TaxScam hurts working families as well as a vision for #ABetterDeal:
A plurality—42%–think the tax cuts favor the wealthy most of all. Only 29.6% say they favor the working and middle class. finance.yahoo.com/news/trump-tax…

People wonder why I dislike Bernie with such a passion...

It is because he is LYING to the voters.

I will list how he is lying.
He has many convinced that Democrats are sitting in a room with wealthy donors, looking down on the poor laughing all the way to the bank
am I pissed off... HELL YES!!!
He is LYING to the people, for his OWN benefit, which he does often.
