I wrote about the truckers in Canada in “Wait, What” in ⁦@TheAtlantic⁩ newsletters.theatlantic.com/wait-what/620d…
“But if you listen to the videos of the leaders and many of the prominent figures, what you’ll hear is QAnon- and sovereign-citizen-inflected ideas about Justin Trudeau being the illegitimate son of Fidel Castro..." @HeerJeet told me.

Tucker Carlson? He’s selling “I ❤️ Truckers” shirts that are a play on his name for 35 bucks.

The right-wing media want the truckers to be a big story, because that would play into their anti-vaccine narrative. Canada has largely been spared all the anti-vaccine drama that has caused so much carnage in America……..

I wrote about how Roe is popular and Democrats should use it to remind people that the Supreme Court is out of step with the country in ⁦@voguemagazine⁩ vogue.com/article/why-ar…
“Reproductive rights will be at the center of midterm elections across the country because there isn’t a single state where banning abortion would be popular, and voters do not want politicians controlling their personal health decisions,” @alexismcgill

@alexismcgill I think a lot of Democrats are and more will—younger Democrats, Black candidates, many women and LGBTQ candidates get how fundamental a right this is and aren't afraid to talk about it,” @jess_mc

I wrote about What Fox Doesn’t Cover in “Wait, What” in ⁦@TheAtlantic⁩ newsletters.theatlantic.com/wait-what/6204…
If a story doesn’t run on Fox, will Fox viewers even know it happened? Fox has created an alternative universe where all American cities are burning dystopian hellscapes...

“In the rare instances where they think a development may be so significant that it could pierce the bubble, they’ll distract or deflect or offer a counternarrative to latch onto” @GoAngelo told me.

Imagine deciding that it was time to laundry the image of one Rudy Giuliani by making him the masked singer.
Also good for @kenjeong
Perhaps Reality television shows could stop laundering far right politicians who work to undermine democracy?

I wrote about the cancel culture crew’s odd silence on book banning in “wait, what” in ⁦@TheAtlantic⁩ newsletters.theatlantic.com/wait-what/61fa…
The people who are obsessed with cancel culture have been conspicuously silent when it comes to banning books and politicizing libraries. Dispensing anti-vaccine content from an enormous platform is literally a matter of life and death.

newsletters.theatlantic.com/wait-what/61fa…
The guy with the $100 million contract having to stop spreading lies about the vaccine is not the same as the removal of books that upset oversensitive parents.

I am on the worlds hottest Amtrak train 🚂. Why is it so hot?
Also I will now tweet everything I overhear on this train 🚂
A four top of older doctors, one looks like Alan Alda. They are talking about emergency medicine. They are quite cute but no one is wearing their mask right.

I wrote about the worst possible scenario in “Wait, what” in ⁦@TheAtlantic⁩ newsletters.theatlantic.com/wait-what/61f1…
A lot has been made of the rivalry between Governor Ron DeSantis and Donald Trump: The story of a mini-Trump who won Florida’s governorship on a Trumpist platform displacing the real Trump has shades of Macbeth and Richard III ….

“Republicans in places like Texas have weaponized Trump’s Big Lie to enact the most sinister voter suppression efforts since Reconstruction. They’ve embraced his lies and misinformation to undermine our elections....." @JulianCastro
