Several bad headlines/tweets for Trump’s campaign announcement

The media is still doing a bad job. They should point out things like the insurrection and investigations of Trump. They also gave Trump excessive coverage.

Hawley violated state law in his 2018 election campaign

Republicans are ripping off Herschel Walker

They claim they’re raising money for Walker but they’re keeping most of it. They’re scamming Walker and their voters.

Ivanka Trump edited Kimberly Guilfoyle out of a picture

The second tweet is great!

The GOP is still a Trump cult

Hazel Scott

I was watching a film on TCM recently that had a great song by Hazel Scott. Here’s more about her.

I will post this video, though, because it's one of my absolute favorite videos. Im mesmerized no matter how many times I watch it. Hazel Scott would've been 105 today. First Black American to have her own TV show. And so much more

Republicans benefitted from their Supreme Court’s unwillingness to enforce lower court rulings on gerrymandering

How much money influences election results

I have often wondered about this, especially after seeing Democrats pour tons of money into failed attempts to unseat people like Mitch McConnell. This is an excellent column by David Byler of the Washington Post. I have also included tweets from after the election wondering if more money in specific races would have helped.

One thing I am tired of is incessant pleas for campaign contributions on Twitter and email. It’s overkill.
