I'm at the "taking no bullshit" part of this exercise. If someone is still on board with "the election was stolen!" stuff after what we've seen in court & what election officials have said for 2 weeks, they're bad actors. They don't deserve to be taken seriously. Full stop.
What Pat Toomey, Brad Raffensperger, Fred Upton, WSJ editorial board, National Review, etc. are doing is not hard. Trump-friendly conservatives saying the obvious: there's no evidence, this is dangerous, it's over.

Others doing the opposite have no excuse. Total hacks.
And again, when SCOTUSblog says there's zero chance any of this comes to the Supreme Court, that's not partisan. They're not "leaning" or "being biased" all of the sudden. It's the same outlet it's always been. They're just telling you reality. It's time for everyone to wake up.
Rudy Giuliani got his airwaves, had his little press conference, got to play lawyer in court for a day. He got tossed like he should have. Lin Wood got his RTs, got to file some stuff, got laughed at like he should have. Sidney Powell is going to meet the same fate. It's over.

1/ Don’t talk about this much publicly, but 3.5 years ago, I was in one of the darkest places I had ever been. I had applied to about 60 jobs and gotten zero of them. On seven occasions, I was a finalist for a reporting job I really wanted. All seven times, I got rejected.
2/ I had no idea what to do. My gig at the time, where I'd been for 7 years, was turning into a full on video outlet. I was no longer writing. I had ideas I wanted to execute but no idea how. Then my former colleague/boss/friend @catematthews mentioned something called Substack.
3/ I had some ideas I wanted to execute, namely a politics newsletter that summarized arguments from across the right & left on big, divisive issues. So I started a Substack, came up with a name, and sent out a few crude emails. Today, I just got this notification from Stripe: Image

Here are 5 of the most interesting political misconceptions that exist and persist in America today 🧵
1. “The Supreme Court is hopelessly divided.” Actually, over the last decade, 43% of all SCOTUS decisions were 9-0 *unanimous* decisions. In 2021-2022, roughly 60% were 9-0, 8-1, or 7-2 decisions. scotusblog.com/2022/07/as-una…
2. “Democrats hate police.” Ask a Republican, and they’ll estimate that about half of all Democrats think most police are bad people. Reality? Less than 20%. This is part of the “perception gap” perceptiongap.us

Every day, I write to one of the most politically diverse audiences (maybe *the* most?) in all of political news. Here are the five pieces from @TangleNews that got the most positive feedback from across the political spectrum this year:

If you think the NYTimes purposefully included a swastika in its crossword puzzle please get to therapy
If you actually need an explanation

1) This isn't what a swastika looks like
2) This shape happens when creating crosswords
3) The reader who made this crossword proudly explained the design!

1/ A few preemptive "election fraud" notes & what to expect on #ElectionDay2022

First, Pennsylvania's votes will take a while to count. You can take it to the bank that Dr. Oz will open with a big lead when the first tallies are released, and it will get closer as it goes on...
2/ That's because Republican state legislatures in states like PA, WI, and MI do NOT allow mail-in voting to be processed before election day. In OH and FL, Republicans allow this, so the count comes in quicker. It's an easy fix but they didn't fix it. 🤷‍♂️
3/ So, you can expand this to any state that has mail-in voting and doesn't allow processing before election day... don't be surprised if Rs open up some big leads in swing states and then those leads narrow and mail-in votes are tallied (which will skew heavy Dem)

1/ HELLO: I believe a lot of people are missing the point about Jan. 6th and what the #January6thCommitteeHearings are showing.

The Capitol riots were a horrible stain on our history.

But what led up to them was more dangerous.

To summarize what we now know:
2/ As the last returns began to trickle in on the early morning after election night, Trump's team understood that final results were still days away. Trump responded by announcing prematurely that he had won the election.
3/ When, days after election day, his top data analyst informed the president he was going to lose, he ignored him and insisted the results were wrong or stolen or corrupted.
