Moreover, we are in the middle of a pandemic and, among the bottom of 25% of workers, almost HALF do not have access to paid sick leave. — PolitiTweet.org

Only 23% of civilian workers in the United States have access to paid family leave THIS IS SOMETHING THAT IS AVAILABLE TO ALL WORKERS IN EVERY OTHER DEVELOPED COUNTRY https://t.co/rcSdUrHUix — PolitiTweet.org

Also, the police were not defunded. Most police budgets went up. https://t.co/MyFiHFCtZk — PolitiTweet.org

There is no "historic violent crime wave" Violent crime increased 5% from 2019 to 2020 and remains far below its peaks in the 90s FACTS: https://t.co/MyFiHFCtZk — PolitiTweet.org

8. There is, of course, no gaurentee that any of these plans will work. And it's tempting, after four exhausting years, to ignore Trump's schemes But that would be a mistake. For updates and more accountability journalism, sign up for the newsletter https://t.co/TfpCItdVSo — PolitiTweet.org

8. Trump loyalists may control the House and/or the Senate. And instead of Congress REJECTING valid electors that reflect the popular vote, this time Congress may just need to APPROVE a phony set of electors sent to them by Trump loyalists in the states https://t.co/SHEdTmvoNB — PolitiTweet.org

Judd Legum @JuddLegum

7. The last part is more straightforward: Put Trump loyalists in charge of Congress. Trump tried to leverage January 6 to seize power. But the situation could be much more favorable to Trump in 2025. https://t.co/SHEdTmvoNB — PolitiTweet.org

Judd Legum @JuddLegum

6. Part two: install Trump loyalists as Governor in 3 key states (PA, MI, WI), giving the GOP total control of the government. Trump's 2020 push for states to overrule voters and sending an alternative slate of electors would no longer be a fantasy https://t.co/SHEdTmvoNB — PolitiTweet.org

5. Trump's endorsing Secretary of State candidates around the country. Why? In most states, the role of Secretary of State includes acting as the chief election officer, holding power over how votes are “cast, counted and certified.” https://t.co/SHEdTmvoNB — PolitiTweet.org

Judd Legum @JuddLegum

4. In 2020, Trump tried and failed to convince Brad Raffensperger (R) to "find" the votes he need to win Georiga. Now Trump has endorsed his primary opponent, Jody Hice (R), who endorses the lie that Trump won Georgia and other states in 2020 https://t.co/SHEdTmvoNB — PolitiTweet.org

Judd Legum @JuddLegum

3. Trump's 2024 strategy is not just about him running. It's about installing loyalists at every level of the state and federal government. First, the Secretaries of State. This would put Trumpists in charge of administering elections in key states. https://t.co/SHEdTmvoNB — PolitiTweet.org

Judd Legum @JuddLegum

2. "The election was a fraud and if we want to save our country and make America great again, we have only one choice. We must elect strong and unyielding American Republicans at every level," Trump said. STACK THE DECK https://t.co/SHEdTmvoNB — PolitiTweet.org

1. In 2020, Trump TRIED to steal the election but his only help came from Rudy Giuliani, a minority in Congress, and a rag tag group of conspiracy theorists. Appearing in Iowa over the weekend, Trump made clear that his 2024 strategy would be different https://t.co/SHEdTmvoNB — PolitiTweet.org

9. The ad tech industry is technical and complex but I wanted to cover this story because it plays such a critical (and poorly understood) role in poisoning political discourse For more independent accountability journalism sign up for my newsletter --> https://t.co/TfpCItdVSo — PolitiTweet.org

8. In response to a request for comment, @OpenWebHQ told https://t.co/Gl6evXRDcZ that it is "difficult to draw the line between upholding standards of journalism and eliminating publishers whose viewpoints may differ from our own." https://t.co/1Mjrr6ZCg1 — PolitiTweet.org

7. Meanwhile, @OpenWebHQ is telling major brands that advertising on its network, which includes The Daily Wire, is a way to fight back against the "crisis of toxicity online" and build a "healthier web." https://t.co/1Mjrr6ZCg1 — PolitiTweet.org

Judd Legum @JuddLegum

@michaeljknowles 6. In recent days, The Daily Wire has urged people to defy the vaccine mandates put in place by the Biden administration. A Daily Wire Facebook ad encouraged Americans to "fight back" against "authoritarian bureaucrats who seek to control our lives." https://t.co/1Mjrr6ZCg1 https://t.co/VzJJlyDKsE — PolitiTweet.org

5. In a recent column, Owens claimed that "[i]f vaccines were cars, every single one of them would be recalled." Another contributor, @michaeljknowles described claims that COVID-19 vaccines were "safe and effective" as "propaganda of our ruling class" https://t.co/1Mjrr6ZCg1 — PolitiTweet.org

Judd Legum @JuddLegum

4. Recently, @realDailyWire has been a bastion of COVID vaccine misinformation. "What is driving this push to get everybody vaccinated? Because we know it’s not science," Candace Owen said on her Daily Wire podcast last week https://t.co/1Mjrr6ZCg1 — PolitiTweet.org

Judd Legum @JuddLegum

3. @OpenWebHQ promises to provide "a safe advertising experience" by only partnering w/pubs that "align w/standards of journalism" and don't spread "hate speech" or "disinformation" But one of its partner sites is The Daily Wire, which is the opposite https://t.co/1Mjrr6ZCg1 — PolitiTweet.org

Judd Legum @JuddLegum

@realDailyWire 2. The ad tech industry has wrecked the information ecosystem, allowing sites to easily monetize disinformation and hate @OpenWebHQ, a venture-backed company that has raised $72 million, was supposed to be a SOLUTION https://t.co/1Mjrr6ZCg1 — PolitiTweet.org

1. Brands are being promised ad placement in "trusted spaces for quality conversations that move our society forward" Their ads end up on @realDailyWire, alongside conspiracy theories about COVID vaccines and anti-trans diatribes Here is how it works https://t.co/1Mjrr6ZCg1 — PolitiTweet.org

Got an email tonight from my old high school which is pretty normal except this one was about how one of teachers was just arrested for espionage. She allegedly was part of a scheme to sell nuclear secrets to a foreign country. — PolitiTweet.org
