Brian Tyler Cohen and Marc Elias discuss Republican Andy Harris's response to douchebag Trumplicker Ivan Raiklin's idea to just fuck the voters and hand over the election to Trump in Arizona, Georgia, Nebraska, New Hampshire, Wisconsin and North Carolina. 🙄
Andy Harris is like "Yeah we could do it in NC, but everywhere else it would look like a power grab."
People in the comments who voted Dem in NC are like WTF?
Look, guys, the billionaire only had your best interests in mind when suppressing the endorsement of Harris by the WaPo. THAT'S how you become a billionaire - by having the best interest of the people in your mind.

some of this — and I really am surprised at how little this gets discussed — is payback to the Biden administration. Biden and Harris have kept tech at arm’s length for their entire administration.
The billionaires hedge their bets

I don't normally read op-ed's, this one is from the POV of a Puerto Rican and I consider myself better off aware of important perspective having read it...
it's an easy, quick read.
'Hurricane Maria and the Trump admin’s botched response prompted Puerto Ricans to be more vocal about their role in the US political system. ~ 500,000 Puerto Ricans live in the battleground state of Pennsylvania.'

You know, for all the f**king money I pay for private health insurance, you’d think they’d have a dedicated team to update in-network providers 24x7. But nope, the lists they provide are YEARS out-of-date. We need #UniversalHealthcare ASAP in this country. #Medicare4All #MedicareForAll #M4A #USA

It saddens me deeply that so many folks - especially newer Americans like myself - fall into the trap of "model minority" thinking.
I've seen it in South Asian and East Asian tech workers, 2nd+ generation Latinos, and upwardly-mobile Black men. Folks who are a-OK with MAGA because they think they are "the good ones" - it's *those* minorities *over there* that are the problem.
I pray we don't all get to learn - again - that racists don't make distinctions and don't make exceptions.
It's an interesting divergence to watch..
Republicans who had no problem with Reagan creating and popularizing the demeaning trope of the welfare queen now needing to decide if Trump and his legions have carried Trump's own brands of dehumanization too far.
At what point it is too much? And why wasn't it too much at the beginning of Reagan's malicious callousness?
