Nathan Standing @cryptosantra

Vivek Ramaswamy remains a "stupid conspiracies" fountain. We all know he's prattling on to an audience of exactly one person: Trump, their king-god.

Looks like it worked, too.

Huge shout out to another local news org busting a national story. Mid-Hudson News has destroyed a story that was flooding the right wing echo chamber about homeless veterans being kicked out of an upstate New York hotel for migrants to replace them. It was all a complete lie.

Homeless men recruited for veteran hotel scam - Mid Hudson News

POUGHKEEPSIE – Seven homeless men have come forward to say they were part of a group of men recruited at a Poughkeepsie homeless shelter to act as veterans that had been displaced from a Newburgh hotel in order for a non-profit organization to perpetrate a fraud on the public. The men told Mid..

Biden is right. The House GOP DOA does cut veterans services. They admit they included veterans as a bargaining chip. The health of 9 million vets who use VA is being held hostage. My take for MeidasTouch:

The texts and tapes proved all of the horrible things people have been saying about Tucker Carlson. While Fox was able to duck them with Dominion they won't get so lucky with Abby Grossberg and Smartmatic. Tucker's hubris, hate, anti-semitism, and misogyny finally caught up to him.

Ron DeSantis flew back to Florida from his book tour last night not because of massive flooding. No he wanted to sign his new forced birth bill in the dead of the night surrounded with white people, celebrating stripping away more rights from women. He is a monster and a fool.

It's election day in many states. In Wisconsin the Supreme Court hangs in the balance between MAGA and common sense. Here in Missouri local elections for school board and city councils are running. Find out who your candidates are and vote. Moms for Liberty is spending money for their insanity.

As you watch the events unfold today in New York, Tennessee, and Florida remember that authoritarians don’t do the evil acts by themselves. They convince others to do it for them. The brown/black shirts loved it. The ones who happily abuse their fellow citizens for the power.
