Finally talking about election integrity at #PresidentialDebate2020. Our @electionland team has been on this topic, like this, about Ohio officials consulting a promoter of voting fraud fears before limiting ballot drop boxes to 1 per county: propublica.org/article/before…
This same purveyor of the debunked fraud claims has been holding secret meetings on the topic with state election officials:

In July, @JessicaHuseman reported on how the Election Assistance Commission has neglected key responsibilities or ceded them to other agencies, and how 2 of its 4 commissioners were parroting Trump’s unfounded warnings about vote by mail. propublica.org/article/how-vo…

1/ Formaldehyde is a chemical that causes an inescapable cancer risk for everyone in America.

It’s in the air we breathe. And it’s in our homes: our couches, our clothes, even babies’ cribs.

So what can you do to reduce your exposure? THREAD 🧵
2/ First, furniture.

Composite wood is a material that essentially contains a mix of wood fibers glued together. The glues are the issue: They can contain formaldehyde that then gets released into the air over time.
3/ One thing you can do is look at an item’s packaging for a label showing it is compliant with the standards set under the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA). Caveat: Compliance does not mean it’s formaldehyde free; it just means emissions are low enough to meet requirements.

1/ Business lobbyist Virginia Lamp once said anti-immigration attitudes are “based on a type of selfish nationalism.”

Today she's better known as Ginni Thomas: wife of Clarence Thomas, and an "America-first" election denier.

What’s changed — for her and the US? 🧵
2/ For decades, the business community’s role in politics was to fend off threats to immigrant labor.

Sure, it probably wasn’t more complicated than economic self-interest. But business orgs were always *involved.*

In doing so, they moderated the nation’s immigration debate. Side profile of a young Ginni Thomas, then Virginia Lamp, looking intently into the distance. She has curly, short hair, and her hand is placed on her chin in thought.
President George W. Bush speaks to a group of small business owners at the Chamber of Commerce in 2004. Behind him, a banner reads “Strengthening America’s Economy.”
3/ Business groups helped negotiate Reagan’s legalization of the status of undocumented immigrants in 1986. They fought for the creation of several new and expanded visa categories, as well as the Temporary Protected Status program in 1990.

Now things have shifted.

1/ THREAD: After a large solar farm was proposed, it seemed to many in Knox Co., Ohio that an anti-solar machine took over news & politics overnight.

They were right.

Here’s how fossil fuel interests shaped the conversation, and how a hometown paper’s new owners amplified it 👇
2/ @MountVernonNews had been owned by the same family since 1939, but by 2020, it was barely holding on.

The paper was sold to Metric Media, a news network described by media researchers as “pink slime” — named for filler in processed meat. Side-by-side comparison of before and after the Mount Vernon News was sold to Metric Media. On the left, the front page of the paper in April 2014. Arrows and pullouts note that the paper was printed six days a week, that photos were taken by a local photographer, and that reporter’s bylines were visible. On the right, the front page in September 2024. Arrows and pullouts note that the paper is printed once a week, there are no bylines, a story is based on a press release and contains no original reporting, and the one photo on the page has no credit.
3/ Metric has received $1.4M from DonorsTrust, a dark-money group linked to the Koch brothers.

The company is run by Brian Timpone, who has contributed tens of thousands of dollars to conservative causes. His ventures have been accused of plagiarism and using fabricated quotes.
