So… there are a huge number of pro-Trump/MAGA accounts that appear to be based in foreign counties. From the POV of someone who studies foreign influence and disinformation, this is pretty fascinating and quite telling. We are being inundated with divisive foreign influence.

What happens when your childhood hero becomes the heel? "He was very clear that the dramatic machinery of professional wrestling required two characters. A face and a heel. Someone to cheer, and someone to boo." https://t.co/JggN8wOsGW via @RollingStone

Hulk Hogan's legacy is complicated for fans who remember the peak of his pro wrestling glory, before his sex tape, racist slurs and MAGA stumping.

Just figured out where these fake tariff rates come from. They didn't actually calculate tariff rates + non-tariff barriers, as they say they did. Instead, for every country, they just took our trade deficit with that country and divided it by the country's exports to us. So we
It's also important to understand that the tariff rates that foreign countries are supposedly charging us are just made-up numbers. South Korea, with which we have a trade agreement, is not charging a 50% tariff on U.S. exports. Nor is the EU charging a 39% tariff.

READ @radleybalko on the failures of the FBI and why reform is needed but Kash is really not the guy to do it. https://t.co/S8at0sgwQN via @RollingStone

This. ALSO, those attacking ranked choice want a return to a system where election results depend on *notoriously low turn-out primaries*, actually the far less democratic option. Please do not fall for this.
A lot of Portland voters skipped the first city council race with ranked choice voting, so the anti-tax, anti-people cadre, which is disadvantaged by RCV, will call it a failure & cast doubt on results (some losing candidates already doing it). Don't let them turn RCV into M110!
