One question that remains following the Fox News/Dominion defamation settlement:

Do you think Fox News viewers will ever hear about it?

Democracy reform is everything.

- Undo Gerrymandering
- Stop voter suppression
- Abolish the electoral college
- Expand the Supreme Court
- End the filibuster
- DC statehood
- PR statehood

We’ll never accomplish popular progressive policies if a conservative minority can undermine them with dirty tricks.

B) Fox content is specifically designed to please one political philosophy. Multiple networks compete for and split the remaining audience.

When Republicans are in power, they rack up giant deficits, mainly by cutting taxes on corporations and the wealthy.

Then when Democrats take the reins, Republicans blame them for being spendthrifts.

It's the same story every time.

How about republicans try winning elections with good policies, rather than grasping for cultural wedge issues? https://www.nytimes.com/2023/04/16/us/politics/transgender-conservative-campaign.html?smid=nytcore-ios-share&referringSource=articleShare
How a Campaign Against Transgender Rights Mobilized Conservatives

Defeated on same-sex marriage, the religious right went searching for an issue that would re-energize supporters and donors. The campaign that followed has stunned political leaders across the spectrum.

Opinion | Republicans Are Forgetting One Crucial Truth About People and Their Bodies

It has become blindingly obvious what happens when the G.O.P. legislates what Americans do with their sex organs. And voters, understandably, don’t like what they see.

The New York Times

Who knew? "Laws against wire fraud make it illegal to ask for money over email using lies."

Anybody we know?
"The Trump campaign and the [RNC] raised more than $250 million between the election and January 6 by claiming the election had been “rigged.” They urged people to send money to an “election defense fund” that didn’t exist."

A $QUARTER BILLION in wire fraud.

Justin J. Pearson, along with Representatives Justin Jones and Gloria Johnson—the Tennessee Three—joined supporters this morning at the National Civil Rights Museum at the Lorraine Motel in Memphis, Tennessee, before a scheduled special meeting of the Shelby County Board of Commissioners to decide whether to reappoint Pearson to the Tennessee legislature after it expelled him last week. Republicans expelled Pearson and Jones from that body after they and Johnson engaged in a protest for gun safety without being recognized by the chair. The Nashville Metropolitan Council reinstated Jones on Monday.
