Suddenly, the Electoral College Is Posing a Problem for Trump

Slate  

Americans of color are apparently moving to the right. Although all three groups still heavily favor Harris, Trump appears to making real inroads, campaigning for nonwhite support to erode his opponent’s edge among groups at the heart of the Democratic coalition. Nonwhite voters are distributed inefficiently—for purposes of the Electoral College’s arbitrary geography—in states that are highly unlikely to put …

How billionaires are buying the presidency for Trump

Raw Story  

“The evil man is a source of fascination; ordinary persons wonder what impels such extremes of conduct. Ever since Citizens United legalized literally unlimited contributions to the new category of political action committees it created, just in the 15 months from January 2023 to April of 2024 over $8.6 billion was raised for this year’s federal campaigns with over 65% …

Harlan Crow helped fund Swiftboating. Trump campaign continues that legacy in Walz attack

Raw Story  

The year was 2004. One of Swift Boat's top donors was conservative GOP megadonor Harlan Crow, the Texas billionaire whose financial relationship with U.S. Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas has been the subject of numerous bombshell investigative reports. Last year, the watchdog group Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington reported, "One of Crow’s first forays into large donations was …

Here’s a look at Trump’s VP shortlist and why each contender may get picked or fall short

Associated Press  

NEW YORK — Donald Trump has narrowed his vice presidential shortlist to a handful of contenders as he prepares to announce his pick in the days before — or perhaps even at — next month’s Republican National Convention. Trump’s choice would likely become the immediate front-runner for the Republican presidential nomination four years from now if Trump were to win …

Raw Story  

WASHINGTON – Republicans in Congress aren’t just doing all they can to impeach the Biden name – and possibly President Joe Biden himself – they’re also going to extraordinary lengths to protect two billionaire GOP megadonors who helped the party remake the Supreme Court in recent years. For one, House Judiciary Committee Chair Jim Jordan and Oversight Committee Chair James …

If not, then you should be. The new Texas bill outlaws abortions as determined by "fetal heartbeat" pseudoscience, meaning at about six weeks, when many women don't even know for sure they are pregnant. On the same day that Texas overturned Roe v. Wade, another new set of laws went into effect that aim to subvert democracy by making it …

National Review Comes Out Against Democracy, Explicitly

Slate  

In the last week-plus, the nominally intellectual right-wing publication National Review has run three separate articles arguing that voting shouldn’t be easier to do, because if it is, stupid, ill-informed people will do too much of it. His argument was that given “the median cultural superiority of White over Negro,” it was only appropriate to prevent Black people from joining …
