For decades, right-wing groups have been fighting to access private voter roll information—data they see as critical in their long war to establish unproven claims of rampant voter fraud.
But today, it’s Trump’s Justice Department at the forefront of this mission.

NSF is about to dismantle NCAR at Russell Vought's direction to protect the fossil fuel industry. It's hard to communicate just how much NCAR does, so let's take a look: I've never worked at NCAR, and I've worked with NCAR researchers once ever. What scientific discoveries has NCAR made possible? 👇

This article quotes Jason Lee Van Dyke, a self-described fascist who I found participated in a Patriot Front private chat room, to say he is not a member of Patriot Front and to defend Patriot Front's reputation. The article does not mention his fascist beliefs or his participation in the chat room.
Patriot Front, a White supremacist group, has been quietly building a 124-acre compound in the mountains of east Tennessee, where they train members and host fight clubs. https://cnn.it/44rpU6V

Hassett: "AI is making it so there's a great coach for every worker. So instead of having to get the supervisor to explain why the machine isn't working right, you can Google or AI it or ChatGPT & it tells you how to do it right away & you become more productive & it saves the supervisor time"
