It’s not about “election security.” More: www.mediamatters.org/voter-fraud-...

The plot to subvert the midterms is getting stranger and more dangerous
Right-wing media figures like Steve Bannon, John Solomon, and Cleta Mitchell are creating a story about interference by China in US elections to justify a national emergency to curtail voting rights.
Images of the following figures:
STEVE BANNON
PETER SCHWEIZER
JOHN SOLOMON
CLETA MITCHELL
BILL PULTE
THE WHITE HOUSE

Trump, along with MAGA media figures and activists, could attempt to severely curtail voting rights under the pretext of declaring a national emergency posed by China.
1) First, the White House would declassify and release documents supposedly showing foreign interference in US elections.
2) Next, Trump would use that "proof" of a stolen election to declare a national emergency, giving him extraordinary powers over the upcoming midterms.
3) That move would advance anti-voting rights measures in the SAVE America Act, like forcing voters to prove their citizenship, without having to actually pass the law - which Congress, so far, appears reluctant to do.

every 5 months you hear "Joe Rogan is turning on Trump" from people in the media who don't actually watch rogan and take the bait like it's susan collins casting a line when in reality this is literally what he says almost every single day about democrats including fucking yesterday

rogan: i'm not skeptical. I'm accusing them. I think they (democrats) stole the election

rogan: and I think they cheat and I think they've been doing it forever

When Trump is spewing nonsense about the 2020 election tonight, remember that John Solomon (who has a history of conspiracy theories) urged Trump to make the speech and Solomon has been pushing claims for months about China interfering in 2020. Some more info: www.mediamatters.org/john-solomon...

This is the most astonishing graph of what the Trump regime has done to US science. They have destroyed the federal science workforce across the board. The negative impacts on Americans will be felt for generations, and the US might never be the same again. www.nature.com/immersive/d4...

This line graph illustrates the percentage change in agency staff levels from the previous year for nine major U.S. federal scientific and health organizations between the fiscal years 2016 and 2025. The agencies tracked include the CDC, Department of Energy, EPA, FDA, NASA, NIH, NIST, NOAA, and NSF. For the majority of the timeline between 2016 and 2023, the agencies show relatively stable fluctuations, generally staying within a range of +5% to -5% change per year. However, there is a dramatic and uniform plummet starting in the 2024–25 period. Every agency depicted shows a sharp downward trajectory, with staffing losses ranging from approximately -15% to over -25%. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) shows the most significant decline, dropping to roughly -26%, while the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) shows the least severe but still substantial drop at approximately -15%.

Right-wing media entered a crowded and fractured new era in 2025. Nick Fuentes reaped the rewards. Why Media Matters is naming Nick Fuentes our 2025 Misinformer of the Year: www.mediamatters.org/misinformer-...

Misinformer of the Year
Nick Fuentes embodies the MAGA movement's cynical embrace of extremism as a route to political power.
After a power struggle in the MAGA universe over his place in the movement, the podcaster is reaping the rewards of the online attention economy.
Fuentes is our 2025 Misinformer of the Year.

The MAGA movement is made to
create content for the fringes and
by the fringes - Fuentes understands that the only real currency is attention, at all costs.

And it works: Fuentes has appeared on at least 20 right-wing shows since July, garnering 28.4 million+ views.

In the midst of a struggle over the future of
MAGA, many conservatives are warning about the spread of antisemitism taking over the right by Fuentes's followers.
A friendly October interview with Tucker Carlson elicited backlash from right-wing pundits, who called it "sick" and "despicable."

Fuentes' core message is that
Trump's agenda is a watered-down version of what's really needed to improve America: More repression, even more hate, even more division, and by putting more of his fellow cowards in positions of absolute power.
It might be the biggest lie of them all.

As Americans increasingly get their news from online shows, this media ecosystem becomes more influential. A new Media Matters’ study shows how overwhelmingly right-leaning this ecosystem is -- with nearly five times the following of left-leaning online shows. www.mediamatters.org/google/right...

Total following of top right-leaning and left-leaning online shows; shows are represented by circles with sizes proportional to total following across platforms. Circles of right-leaning shows are larger and more prevalent, with the largest circles for Joe Rogan, Ben Shapiro, etc.

But every single country in the world has things you cannot talk about. Every single country in the world has off topics -- off-limit topics. In Russia, it's Putin, in the Middle East, it's Islam, in Turkey, it's Erdogan. If you talk against them, you're going to get in a lot trouble. Do you know what the American one is?
