Above Photo: Rev. William Barber (Getty Images) The demands for justice at home and abroad must not be sacrificed on the altar of what is called pragmatism. The false choices presented by liberalism can undermine the movement altogether. Rev. William Barber, an indisputable champion of the poor and a consistent voice demanding an end to poverty, may have made a serious moral and ethical error that effectively placed him outside of the “Kingian” framework that informed Dr. King’s work especially during the last year of his life. In an attempt to make a point about the flawed priorities of the duopoly, […]
Above Photo: King delivering his speech “Beyond Vietnam” at New York City’s Riverside Church in 1967 (Photo John C. Goodwin) It is disheartening to hear movement leaders say they are inspired by Martin Luther King while also supporting the U.S. proxy war against Russia. Like all wars it endangers the lives of civilian populations, enriches the military industrial complex, and robs Americans of public resources. Once King chose an anti-war stance he did not waiver in his condemnations of U.S. empire. On April 4, 1967 Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. gave one of the most significant speeches of his career. In […]

(Guillaume Payen / SOPA Images/LightRocket via Getty Images) Preventing Populations From Asking Who Benefits From A Protracted Proxy War, And Who Pays The Price, Is Paramount. A Closed Propaganda System Achieves That. If one wishes to be exposed to news, information or perspective that contravenes the prevailing US/NATO view on the war in Ukraine, a rigorous search is required. And there is no guarantee that search will succeed. That is because the state/corporate censorship regime that has been imposed in the West with regard to this war is […]

Massachusetts – As the organized opposition to the “Big Tech loophole law” ballot initiative grows in Massachusetts, a number of key consumer, community, and civil rights groups have joined with workers’ rights advocates to announce their commitment of activating and growing the coalition opposing that initiative under a new name: Massachusetts is not for Sale. Those groups will be building a statewide campaign against the Big Tech loophole law initiative as the Massachusetts is not for Sale campaign, a name chosen by the community, consumer and labor coalition to reflect the growing range […]

Victory In Oldham. Palestine Action’s sustained campaign of direct action against Elbit Ferranti in Oldham proves ultimately successful as Elbit sell the subsidiary and pack their bags. After 18 months of sustained direct action taken at the Elbit Ferranti site in Oldham, Greater Manchester, with 36 people arrested, Elbit have now sold Ferranti technologies, with its continued operation in Oldham appearing unfeasible. Activists have occupied, blockaded, smashed, disrupted, and protested regularly at the site, ultimately succeeding in ending the factory’s production of specialist military technologies for Israel’s fleet of combat drones. In November 2021, anonymous sources revealed to Palestine Action that mass […]

A Drop the Charges petition to MN Governor Tim Walz and Attorney General Keith Ellison has already garnered over 13,000 signatures. Organizers of the campaign describe the charges as unjust based on the brutal policing tactics that the Enbridge corporation directly funded, the violation of Anishinaabe treaty rights, and the project’s contribution to catastrophic climate change.

Nicaragua’s Supreme Electoral Council declared President Daniel Ortega and Vice President Rosario Murillo of the Sandinista National Liberation Front (FSLN) winners in an election that drew 65% of the eligible 4.4 million voters. Although Washington and its allies in the region denounced the election as a fraud preceded by repression of the opposition, there was significant participation of the electorate; moreover, despite claims that Ortega ran virtually unopposed, his ticket was contested by several long-standing opposition parties. Winning 75% of the vote, the FSLN demonstrated solid strength despite the U.S. government and mainstream media campaign to […]

Distracts from Essential Issues while Playing the Race Card. With the seemingly interminable US presidential campaign season mercifully drawing to a close, the buzz is about a possible coup. That would make the US one of the few countries in recent history to experience regime change not masterminded by a US embassy, because there is no US embassy in Washington. There are other reasons why a coup is unlikely. Namely, most of the politically active public believe that they live in […]
After Dr. Anthony Fauci gave an interview in which he claimed the White House was controlling his media appearances, the president lashed out at him, even taking to comparing how each of them throws a baseball. “Dr.Tony Fauci says we don’t allow him to do television, and yet I saw him last night on @60Minutes,” Trump tweeted on Monday, referencing the interview where Fauci made his claims about being limited in who he can talk to. “He seems to get more airtime than anybody since the late, great, Bob Hope,” the president added, referencing the late comedian known for his near-constant […]
Twitter and Facebook have both moved to suppress New York Post reports that the former vice president lied about never talking to his son Hunter about his business dealings in Ukraine, where Biden had the prosecutor general fired. US Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden has lashed out at a journalist for asking his thoughts on allegations against his son. CBS reporter Bo Erickson, attached to the Biden election campaign, asked the former vice president on Thursday night for his response to the New York Post story alleging his son Hunter peddled his father’s influence to Ukrainian and Chinese businessmen for money […]
On Friday night, Real Time host Bill Maher weighed in on Trump’s unhinged, sweaty, hour-long ragefest on NBC Thursday with Savannah Guthrie, wherein the president defended the batshit-insane conspiracy theory QAnon, which claims that the Democrats and Hollywood are killing and raping babies (and extracting their fear for medicine), as well as his decision to retweet another wacky conspiracy theory about the bin Laden raid. “The Trump one was just amazing,” offered Maher. “Trump defended retweeting this crazy conspiracy theory—did you see this?—about how bin Laden wasn’t really killed by Obama, because of course Obama never could do anything good so […]
Ex-President Barack Obama has recorded videos in support of his former vice-president and spoken by video link at the Democratic National Convention in August, but has not yet appeared at a live rally in support of Joe Biden. Former US President Barack Obama will hit the campaign trail for his old running-mate Joe Biden next week. Obama will headline a presidential campaign rally in Philadelphia, the capital of Pennsylvania on Wednesday October 21. It will be the first time Obama has appeared publicly in support of Biden’s campaign to win the presidency from incumbent Donald Trump, although the ex-president and his […]
Americans saw two men last night in the closing days of their respective pursuits of the highest office in the land, and their split-screen town halls clarified and catalyzed an understanding of this race in a way that their one debate so far did not. It was one more sign of a Trump campaign in total collapse; broke, broken, and unmoored. As Donald Trump was eviscerated by a smart and determined Savannah Guthrie, who put up with exactly zero bullshit from a subject who usually submerges interviewers under a tidal wave of bullshit, while Joe Biden connected with both his audience […]
Democratic presidential hopeful Joe Biden said he will not quarantine after being on board the same airplane with a crew member who tested positive for the coronavirus, saying he was far away and wearing a N-95 mask. “My COVID test from last night came back negative,” Biden tweeted on Thursday evening, just before the platform unexpectedly crashed. “Not only was the individual 50+ feet [15 meters] away and wearing a mask, but I was wearing an N-95 mask,” he added. “My doctors have advised that there is no need for me to quarantine.” Not only was the individual 50+ feet away […]
It’s always confusing when Black celebrities gather around to pontificate about what needs to be done for Black America, like rapper Ice Cube, CNN pundit Van Jones, and others did on Jada Pinkett Smith’s Red Table Talk this week. In the U.S., we’re supposed to be interested in political and historical analyses by crafty capitalists rather than by those who are currently living under the failed economic and social conditions that have been engineered by the few in power. Unsurprisingly, both Ice Cube and Jones have recently been on blast for collaborating with the Trump administration on policy instead of humbly […]

Biden initially trailed the president in the money race, who began fundraising for his re-election bid in 2017, but now the former vice president might raise more money than Trump by election day on 3 November. Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden announced on Wednesday that his campaign set a fundraising record of $383 million last month. To every person who chipped in a few dollars last month — thank you. Because of your support, we raised an astounding $383 million. I’m incredibly humbled. There’s still more work to be done, but I wanted to share the good news with Trimicka, one of […]
Sen. Kamala Harris (D-CA) used her first allotted questioning time during the Senate Judiciary Committee hearing to confirm Judge Amy Coney Barrett to the Supreme Court to zero-in on the Democratic ticket’s closing campaign message: an unambiguous defense of the Affordable Care Act. “Over the last nine years, Republicans in Congress have tried 70 times—70 times—to repeal or roll back the ACA,” Harris said on Tuesday evening. “In 2013, Senate Republicans were so desperate to stop its success that they shut down the entire government four weeks after President Trump was elected. Washington Republicans spent nearly a year trying to repeal […]
Joe Biden’s son-in-law is advising his presidential campaign on Covid-19 response while overseeing investments in health-care startups, a potential conflict of interest, Politico reported – to the chagrin of its leftist readers. Howard Krein, who married Ashley Biden in 2012, has been advising her father’s campaign on Covid-response policies while at the same time leading investment firm StartUp Health in staking fledgling companies with products or services designed to mitigate, manage or treat the virus, Politico said Tuesday. Krein is chief medical officer at StartUp Health, which announced plans in April to invest $1 million across 10 companies focused on Covid-19 solutions […]
President Donald Trump’s official super PAC is shopping around opposition research to members of the media on The Lincoln Project, a political group founded by NeverTrump Republicans who have run millions of dollars in ads this year attacking Trump and vulnerable Senate Republicans. America First Action, an ostensibly independent outfit supporting the president’s reelection, recently circulated a memo to “interested parties” breaking down the Lincoln Project’s ad spending and the data it’s reported to the Federal Election Commission. The memo, titled “Lincoln Project discrepancies,” purports to demonstrate the exorbitantly high fees that the group’s principals have pocketed as it buys television […]
WASHINGTON (Sputnik) – US President Donald Trump said at the first campaign rally he held since announcing his COVID-19 diagnosis that he was feeling great. Speaking without a face mask, Trump told his supporters in Sanford, Florida, on Monday that he was “in great shape” and “energised by your prayers and humbled by your support.” “We are going to take whatever the hell they gave me and we are going to distribute it around the hospitals”, Trump said. “I’ll kiss the guys and the beautiful women. I’ll just give you a big fat kiss”, Trump added later on in his speech. […]
The nation’s top infectious disease expert Dr. Anthony Fauci demanded that the Trump campaign refrain from using him in future campaign ads, saying Monday that it would be “outrageous” and “terrible” if he was featured in another commercial and it could “come back to backfire” on Team Trump. Asked by The Daily Beast if his comments were a thinly-veiled threat to leave his post if he ended up in a new campaign spot, Fauci: “Not a chance.” “Not in my wildest freakin’ dreams,” he said, “did I ever think about quitting.” From there, Fauci went on to explain what he meant […]
According to a recent survey of adults in the US aged 18-39, almost a quarter said they believed the Holocaust was a myth, that it had been exaggerated or they weren’t sure. Institutions focused on Holocaust research and remembrance, such as Yad Vashem, have noted that Holocaust education is a key component in combatting anti-Semitism. Tech giant Facebook updated its hate speech policy on Monday to ban any content that rejects or distorts the reality of the Holocaust. The decision comes following a campaign spearheaded by Holocaust survivors around the world to target Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg this summer, urging him to […]

MOSCOW (Sputnik) – Top US infectious disease expert, Anthony Fauci, says his words were taken out of context in a new advertisement from the election campaign of US President Donald Trump, CNN reports. “In my nearly five decades of public service, I have never publicly endorsed any political candidate.

US Democratic presidential nominee for the 3 November general election, Joe Biden, has been famous during the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic for carefully wearing a face mask wherever he goes. The former vice president’s Republican rival, President Donald Trump, has during his rallies repeatedly mocked Biden’s mask wearing health habit. Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden went viral on social media after lowering his protective face mask to cough into his hand before covering his face again. The former vice president, who has been known to consistently wear a facemask since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, did so while addressing supporters during […]
Updated 6:57 p.m. ET Despite reports of the Trump campaign canceling TV advertising in Ohio and Iowa, it turns out the campaign has $11 million still reserved for ads in the states, according to the latest ad spending data provided to NPR by the ad-tracking firm Advertising Analytics. The Trump campaign ran no ads in either state for the week of Oct. 4, but it still has $8 million in Ohio and almost $3 million in Iowa reserved for the final four weeks of the campaign. Both Ohio and Iowa should be states where Trump is favored. He won them both […]
Hitting the closing stretch of the election, and trailing by a substantial margin in the polls, Donald Trump is placing his political hopes on winning over voters with cold hard cash. Over the past month, the president and his team have coalesced around a series of policies that would result in billions of dollars being allocated to critical constituencies right as voting begins: a proposal to dramatically increase government lending in African American communities, an order to send seniors a $200 rebate card for prescription drug purchases, and a newfound desire for an ambitious stimulus package to deal with the fallout […]
Detroit News: Detroit Magistrate Joseph Boyer set bond Thursday for conservative operatives Jacob Wohl and Jack Burkman at $100,000 in a voter intimidation case, even as the attorney general’s office argued for a $1 million bond and Burkman’s lawyer called the charges “a publicity stunt.” Wohl and Burkman on Thursday turned themselves in at the Detroit Detention Center. Assistant Attorney General Richard Cunningham said they “made a mockery of our system of government” and came with a camera crew and hundred dollar bills to pay the bond. The evidence will show there have been ongoing efforts by Burkman and Wohl to affect […]

Earlier in Maryland, a handful of Trump campaign signs were among those “supplied” with suspicious devices. They were later determined by bomb squads to be harmless sound alarms which would make a noise if an attempt was made to move the sign. A township worker in Michigan received 13 stitches in his hand after it was sliced by a Trump-Pence campaign sign which was boobytrapped with razor blades, according to reports by local media. The worker reportedly pulled over to remove the Trump-Pence sign that was too close to the road and “thought it was electrocuted” because of the razor blades it […]
Washington has announced a new sanctions package against Iran, hitting the country’s financial sector and targeting 18 major banks. Tehran has branded the move a “crime against humanity” and an attempt to starve the country out. The new sanctions were announced by the US Treasury Department on Thursday. The move was made to further “isolate the Iranian economy from the global financial system,” which the Treasury claimed is necessary to stop Tehran from advancing its alleged “malign agenda.” “Our sanctions programs will continue until Iran stops its support of terrorist activities and ends its nuclear programs. Today’s actions will continue to […]
President Donald Trump claimed he’s “learned” more from the “real school” of contracting the coronavirus than he ever could have from “‘let’s read the book’ school.” But despite one spokesperson attacking Joe Biden for not having the “firsthand experience” of an infection, another adviser is now insisting that the campaign is “not changing course.” Confronted by Fox News anchor Sandra Smith with a CNN poll that found 63 percent of Americans believe Trump acted “irresponsibly” when it came to handling the COVID risk to the people around him, campaign adviser Mercedes Schlapp seemed unconcerned with political fallout of the president’s obvious […]
Police determined that the devices were small audible alarms designed to go off in a bid to prevent the possible removal of the Trump yard signs. The Office of the Maryland State Fire Marshal (OFSM) said in a press release that the OFSM’s Bomb Squad “has been busy” over the past 36 hours, “responding to suspicious devices” attached to yard signs, including those pertaining to President Donald Trump’s election campaign. The OFSM reported about at least five such devices that were seen being installed on the campaign yard signs located “in and around” the city of Easton on Sunday and […]
If you were wondering how the Trump campaign might try to spin the president’s COVID-19 diagnosis into a positive for his re-election effort, the first hints started to emerge during a Monday morning Fox News appearance by Director of Communications Erin Perrine. Asked by Fox anchor Sandra Smith if President Trump will “change his messaging” and stop “downplaying” the coronavirus moving forward now that he has dealt with it personally, Perrine touted the importance of “firsthand experience.” “Firsthand experience is always going to change how someone relates to something that’s been happening,” she said. “The president has coronavirus right now.

Sanders said they are “looking forward” to the second debate, adding that the former vice president “loves a good town hall”. “We are hoping that President Trump can […]
Despite the president currently being hospitalized for COVID-19, Trump senior campaign adviser Jason Miller continued to mock Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden for regularly wearing face masks, claiming the former vice president uses masks as a “prop.” Interviewing Miller on ABC’s This Week, anchor George Stephanopoulos brought President Donald Trump ridiculing Biden for his mask-wearing during Tuesday’s presidential debate, wondering aloud if that has backfired on the president considering his own coronavirus diagnosis. “Hasn’t the cavalier approach to masks and social distancing at these rallies been a mistake?” Stephanopoulos asked. “Will it change going forward?” Miller, meanwhile, insisted that that campaign […]
President Trump was being treated in the hospital for COVID-19 on Saturday, and at least nine of his party’s top officials had contracted the virus—but it made no difference to many GOP officials and campaign aides who continued to flout social distancing guidelines and host maskless, indoor events. On Saturday, Sen. Ron Johnson (R-WI), who tested positive for COVID-19 late Friday night, doubled down on his criticism of mask mandates. While they may help mitigate infection risk, he claimed, they are “certainly not a cure-all.” Instead, Johnson pointed to “individual responsibility.” After his test on Friday night, Johnson said he didn’t […]
The mayor of Rochester, New York, was indicted for felony campaign finance fraud Friday.

Monroe County District Attorney Sandra Doorley did not specify how much money Warren used from her PAC, but said it was in […]
As President Donald Trump is quarantined with Covid-19, his reelection campaign is canceling events or making them virtual. Vice President Mike Pence has handled some White House events and may do more if Trump’s symptoms worsen. “All previously announced campaign events involving the President’s participation are in the process of being moved to virtual events or are being temporarily postponed,” campaign manager Bill Stepien said in a statement on Friday. While everything involving the First Family has been put on hold, other campaign events will proceed on a case-by-case basis, he added. Trump and his wife Melania both tested positive for […]

A member of Joe Biden’s presidential campaign staff said the standard beliefs of devote Christians, Muslims and Jews, such as considering homosexual acts sinful should be “disqualifiers” for any potential US Supreme Court justice. “I’d heavily prefer views like that not be elevated to SCOTUS, but unfortunately, our current culture is still relatively intolerant,” Biden staffer Nikitha Rai said Monday night on Twitter. “It will be a while before those types of beliefs are so taboo that they’re disqualifiers.” Rai, who is deputy data director for the Biden campaign, made her comments in a thread about the religious beliefs of Supreme […]

Parscale began to walk slowly toward an officer at the end of his driveway, saying, “She’s lying, I’m your friend.” The officer said, “Alright, relax. What’s going on?” Parscale then set down a beverage […]
LONDON—Over three million Black voters in key states were identified by President Donald Trump’s 2016 campaign as people they had to persuade to stay at home on Election Day to help him reach the White House. The revelation comes from an enormous data leak obtained by the British news network Channel 4. It shows that, four years ago, the Trump campaign prepared files on almost 200 million American voters and separated some out into eight different categories. One such category, assigned to 3.5 million Black voters, was titled: “Deterrence.” The leaked database was reportedly used by Trump’s digital campaign team, which […]

LONDON—Alexander Nix, the man who was running Cambridge Analytica when it harvested the Facebook data of tens of millions of voters without their knowledge so it could be exploited by the Trump 2016 campaign, has been banned from directing any companies for seven years. The now-defunct Cambridge Analytica was a U.K. digital black-ops firm that collapsed in 2018 following revelations that it secretly collected Facebook profile information on 87 million people.

An advertisement for President Donald Trump’s reelection campaign emphasizes that he is the only candidate whose economic plan will be “made in the USA”—but part of the ad itself was made in Russia.

The Trump campaign finds itself in an unexpected financial crunch heading into the election’s homestretch: substantially behind Joe Biden in the cash it has on hand despite years of advanced preparation. If the president is looking to cast blame, however, the receipts suggest that it starts with himself. During the month of August, the Trump campaign spent nearly half-a-million dollars on fireworks, almost certainly for the display that was put on over the south lawn of the White House during the Republican convention. That display was indisputably ostentatious—a seemingly never ending stream of lights that culminated in the words “Trump” and […]
Daily Beast: Lev Parnas and David Correia, former associates of Rudy Giuliani who were at the heart of President Donald Trump’s impeachment scandal, were charged Wednesday with conspiring to defraud investors via an insurance company titled “Fraud Guarantee.” VT has been told that Devin Nunes worked with Parnas extensively through Derek Harvey., his aide. “The records show that Parnas, who Rudy Giuliani used to communicate with Ukrainian officials, texted with Rep. Devin Nunes’ aide, Derek Harvey, extensively throughout 2019. And the messages provide key new evidence that Nunes’ team was aware of and involved in Trump’s efforts to pressure Ukraine to […]
The apparent gaffe on the part of Trump’s campaign comes as the president struggles to deal with the scandal caused by an anonymous report suggesting that he had called the First World War’s fallen US soldiers “losers”. If four years of dodging unsubstantiated accusations of colluding with Russia were not enough for President Donald Trump, his campaign managed to add oil to the fire by making a military-themed snafu in its digital ad, which was active between 8 and 12 September. The ad, paid for by Trump’s Make America Great Again Committee, called on citizens to support American troops, but oddly enough featured […]

A Democrat has suddenly bowed out of the US House race in Georgia citing “personal reasons,” clearing the path for Republican contender Marjorie Taylor Greene, the alleged QAnon supporter who is now running unopposed. Kevin Van Ausdal said he would pull out of the contest in a statement on Friday, leaving the race for Georgia’s reliably red 14th Congressional District uncontested, with Greene the only candidate left in the running. “I am heartbroken to announce that for family and personal reasons, I cannot continue this race for Congress,” Van Ausdal said in a statement, adding that “stepping aside would be best […]
President Donald Trump and his campaign visited Freeland, Michigan on Thursday for a rally where he spoke at length about former vice president Joe Biden, auto manufacturing, antifa, the suburbs, and the media. His campaign also ejected a New York Times reporter from the event, seemingly without explanation. Kathy Gray, a Times correspondent who lives in Michigan, tweeted, “And so it begins” with a picture of Air Force One arriving. Thirteen minutes later, she wrote, “I’ve just been kicked out of the trump rally.” She added 19 minutes later, “First for me: Trump campaign tracked me down from pics i tweeted […]
When Fox News isn’t running cover for President Donald Trump in the wake of his disastrous comments to Rage author Bob Woodward, they are—at least in this instance—attempting to give their viewers the facts. On Thursday’s edition of Special Report, Fox anchor Bret Baier interviewed both Biden national press secretary TJ Ducklo and Trump campaign spokesperson Tim Murtaugh about Trump’s intentional efforts to downplay the severity of the coronavirus pandemic back in February and March. Murtaugh began his defense of Trump by attacking his counterpart on the Biden campaign for failing to articulate what exactly Biden would have done differently if […]
Intelligence officials have long been warning that Russian agents will inevitably try to interfere in the 2020 campaign—now some appear to have been caught targeting a key Biden campaign firm. Reuters reported Thursday morning that suspected Russian state-backed hackers have attempted to breach the systems at Washington-based SKDKnickerbocker, a strategy and communications firm working hand-in-glove with Joe Biden’s campaign. The attacks, which took place over the past two months, were unsuccessful. The failed hacking attempt was brought to SKDK’s attention by Microsoft, which reportedly gathered information identifying hackers linked to the Kremlin as the most likely suspects. The attacks are said […]
The Washington Redskins football team, recently under fire for its branding, with some seeing it as controversial amid nationwide protests for racial injustice, announced that it will change its name. The Biden campaign acknowledged on Wednesday that it had altered an image aired in a CNN documentary “Fight for the White House: Joe Biden’s Long Journey”, claiming that the Washington Redskins logo was removed to avoid copyright complaints, The Washington Post reported. Attentive viewers of the film earlier noticed the absence of the football team logo on the hat of a young Joe Biden in arms of his father. “The practice of removing […]

President Donald Trump boasted to supporters on Tuesday about his campaign intentionally misrepresenting itself in order to skirt coronavirus restrictions. “Joe Biden and his party spent the entire summer cheering on the riots, rampaging for Democrat-run cities, labeling them as peaceful protesters. We call you peaceful protesters, you know why? Because they have rules in these Democrat-run states that if you’re campaigning, you cannot have more than five people. They did that for me,” the president told supporters during a campaign rally in Winston-Salem, North Carolina.

With violent protests and riots chipping away at his poll numbers, Joe Biden has released a new ad condemning looting and “lawlessness.” His ad comes as the Trump campaign gears up to push similar but more extreme TV messages. Since the killing of George Floyd in May triggered a summer of nationwide protests and riots, President Donald Trump has savaged Democrat mayors and governors for not cracking down hard enough on criminality, and roasted Joe Biden for his reluctance to condemn the violence strongly enough.

Joe Biden’s Deputy Campaign Manager Kate Bedingfield left many scratching their heads after she insisted he does not have Covid-19, but has also not been tested — despite members of the press being required to. “He has not had the virus,” Bedingfield told ABC’s George Stephanopolous on Sunday. “We have put in place really strict protocols as, I think, all of your journalists who attended our convention in Delaware this week saw.” Despite saying with certainty that the 77-year-old Biden does not have coronavirus, she said he has yet to be tested.

As President Donald Trump’s campaign sponges up grassroots donations for his reelection bid, it’s leaning on a largely unnoticed pool of support: a network of pro-Trump media organizations that lure in readers with splashy, ideologically driven content, harvest their email addresses, and then sell them back to the Trump campaign. News outlets such as Trump Train News, American Action News, UnitedVoice, and RightWing.org appear on their face to be standard—if occasionally unpolished—conservative media operations. They largely aggregate reporting from other news organizations, put a pro-Trump spin on the stories, and top them with clicky headlines geared to catch the eyes of […]
Democratic Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has shared her daily make-up routine with Vogue magazine. “The key to beauty is feeling beautiful, and no amount of money or makeup can really compensate for loving yourself,” the congresswoman said. “Femininity has power, and, in politics, there is so much criticism and nitpicking about how women and femme people present ourselves,” AOC said. “Just being a woman is quite politicised here in Washington.” Fresh from the glitz of the virtual Democratic National Convention broadcast from Milwaukee, Wisconsin, AOC denied that style can be separated from substance in politics. “There’s this really false idea that if […]
