You know when you see a social media post and think, "That's a weird opinion. No real person actually believes such a thing"? It's because it's stuff like that. ^

U.S. says Russia funded media company that paid right-wing influencers millions for videos Washington — Two Russian nationals working for a news network controlled by Vladimir Putin's government funneled millions of dollars to an American media company that paid right-wing influencers for videos pushing narratives favorable to the Kremlin, U.S. prosecutors alleged on Wednesday. ... The two defendants worked for RT, a media outlet formerly known as Russia Today that is funded and controlled by the Russian government, the indictment said. Federal prosecutors said RT oversaw a series of "covert projects" that included funneling $10 million through a series of shell entities to a Tennessee-based company launched in 2023 that publishes videos on TikTok, Instagram, YouTube and X, formerly known as Twitter. ... Though the company is not named in the indictment, prosecutors said that it describes itself as a "network of heterodox commentators that focus on Western political and cultural issues" and features six commentators as its "talent." Tenet Media describes itself using the same phrase on its website, and other details in the indictment align with the firm. Its website lists six right-wing personalities, including Dave Rubin, who has more than 2.4 million YouTube subscribers; Tim Pool, a podcast host with more than 1.3 million YouTube followers; and Benny Johnson, whose YouTube channel has nearly 2.4 million subscribers.

On election day 2022, which was seen as a success for Democrats, Biden's job approval was approximately -9.

Some online pundits are making guesses about the Trump campaign's strategy based on spending on upcoming TV and radio ads. Apparently the only two states that Trump is dedicating much money to are Pennsylvania and Georgia. Putting all the eggs in those two baskets.

Imagine being able to relax after the election knowing Trump will never be in power.

People are going to be surprised when Georgia votes Democratic again in 2024, without realizing that it has been getting more Democratic for four years relative to where it was in 2020. I wouldn't be surprised if Harris wins Georgia by a wider margin than Biden did.

Bravo on ignoring the "Harris and Walz and doing an interview" bait. That post is just sitting there with no engagement at all.

Also, Jill Stein. It's pretty clear to me that she is a Russian government asset meant to cause chaos. And no real American would actually fall for it.

Taxes, am I right?

North Carolina is the first state to begin early voting in just 13 days. Harris is the first name on the ballot, and it's too late for Kennedy to have his name removed.

My mother told me today she is voting for Kamala Harris. Previously, she was apathetic about voting.

It's the result of them being scared that sales have fallen. Subway Is Slashing the Price of Footlong Sandwiches to $6.99 for 2 Weeks (people.com)

Beyonce, Mitt Romney, Taylor Swift, George W. Bush, Michael Jordan. I am shamelessly sharing the online rumor mill about who's going to show up tonight at the DNC.
