This is really, really phenomenal reporting from @washingtonpost about the history of the voter fraud conspiracy theory.

Deeply researched, key on the record quotes, huge access to documents and other materials. Really impressive stuff.
Also this parenthetical is incredible: “(Pressley told The Post she had “no opinion” on whether planes brought down the World Trade Center.)”
Another amazing line: “In July 2020, ASOG gave a two-hour briefing to seven members of the House Freedom Caucus, Ramsland told MyPillow founder Mike Lindell for his movie about alleged election fraud.”

Think a lot of this comes down to the difference between the hard antinatalism of environmental radicals vs. the soft “ew, what woman would risk her career to raise babies” antinatalism of (mostly young, educated, progressive, white, female) online types.
What’s most interesting to me is the bleed-over from the former to the latter - the idea that environmental considerations make it some kind of moral evil that some (many! most!) women want to have children.
Which, as I think Zaid pointed out recently, seems more a defensive crouch allowing a certain variety of (again, mostly white, career-driven, progressive in her 20s/30s) woman to feel she’s got the moral high ground for being mad that her mom dares suggest she think about kids.

This is the sort of take, dripping with condescension, that serves as a reminder that lots of columnists don't spend time outside of their political bubbles.

The focus on "wokeness" is so prevalant because it resonates with everyday Americans. People, broadly, think it's bs.
I wrote about the phenomena a while back: foxnews.com/opinion/fighti…
This is what WaPo opinion has become: "...it is now the term for tagging Democrats. It’s like calling them ugly. Or stupid. Or uncultured. Of course, once the GOP and its largely White-male membership co-opts a popular term, one may presume its cultural power is about to fade."

Serious question re Cheney: if she’s lost the confidence of the collection of people she currently leads, why should she continue to serve as their leader?
I get there’s a battle for the soul of the GOP taking place (supposedly) but to me this question is infinitely more simple.

Do the people she currently leads see her as the right person for the job?

Is there a case that the answer to that is yes?
Maybe the answer *should* be yes. But that’s beside the point, right? There are plenty of people whom I would love to be in her position. That just doesn’t matter.

A lot of people who swore up and down that Donald Trump knew about supposed Russian bounties on US soldiers and turned a blind eye are now quite convinced that Rudy is in trouble. @FrankFigliuzzi1
Are you guys starting to see how this all works yet?
If you want to run with what @FrankFigliuzzi1 has to say, that’s on you, but just know his track record on this stuff is...Spotty

Feels like we should be talking more about how untenable it is that many landlords right now are being used (at great personal expense) as a finger in the dam holding back a massive wave of potential newly homeless people and families.
“More than 8 million rental properties across the country are behind on payments by an average of $5,600, according to census data.”
“And now it had been a full year without payment, and Budhoo had maxed his credit cards, applied for a secondary loan on his 2015 Mercedes-Benz, defaulted on $13,000 in property taxes, and started taking medication for panic attacks and stomach ulcers.”

We’re one week into Kessler, a white man whose family helped found Shell Oil, investigating whether Sen. Scott’s family story as Black farmers in the post-Civil War south was too, in his words, “tidy”
If WaPo were a conservative pub attacking the lineage of a Black liberal politician, they would be banned from Twitter by now, counting down the days until SPLC and ADL label them a hate group.
I’m running out of words to describe how earnestly depraved this whole thing has been.
