"Repeat after me: there was no 'landslide'. There was no 'blowout'. There was no 'sweeping' mandate given to Trump by the electorate. The numbers don’t lie."

My new Guardian op-ed on the new GOP election lie - and why it's important to rebut it! I brought (lots of) receipts:
Donald Trump didn’t win by a historic landslide. It’s time to nip that lie in the bud | Mehdi Hasan
In 2024, we have a new post-election lie – Trump didn’t just win, Republicans say, but he won big. He won a landslide. That’s false

Now's a good time to read or reread 1984 and throw in some Animal Farm too.

I read both in High school and recently read them again... In High school, I thought "how did they let this happen?"

Right now, I'm thinking "how can we slow this down from happening?"

Hi. It's not normal for a nominee to be Director of the FBI to have his own personal hit list of people he wants to take revenge on using the power of the fed'l govt. Do not confirm.

Trump throws down the gauntlet. The answer from the Senate MUST be no. Kash Patel cannot be put in charge of the FBI.
