For the 1st time ever, a plurality of swing state voters now think that a #Democrat will win the presidential #election. This month, 46% of voters think #Harris will win, compared to 39% who think it will be #Trump. That is an 11-point swing in Harris’ favor since Aug, & suggests that Harris has been successful in presenting herself as a serious candidate.

Has anyone seen any good discussion or analysis of the potential long term impact the Israeli pager explosives attack may have generally on mass consumer confidence, not only in Israeli tech, but in consumer tech generally?
How on the nose is it to demonstrate so cleanly that the tech you buy is not trustworthy, harms people, is designed to exploit you, and may even. . . kill you? cc @pluralistic

Good story from the Haitian Times:

“Should these allegations prove true, I as well as the other personalities & commentators were deceived,” Pool wrote.🙄
Johnson echoed the line, writing, “We are disturbed by the allegations in today’s indictment, which make clear that myself & other influencers were victims in this alleged scheme.”

…It’s hard to believe that the members of #TenetMedia “didn’t know” anything about the scheme. In fact, you can watch Pool describe nearly exactly what he engaged in, during a podcast conversation:
#complicity#RightWing#MAGA#Republicans#TenetMedia#RussianPropaganda#Russia#StateMedia#DOJ #law #democracy#MediaLiteracy
The #indictment charges 2 #RussiaToday [#RT] employees w/providing nearly $10M to the #media company that often spouted #Kremlin talking points.
In response to the charges, the pundits & their allies are saying they just didn’t know any better. In fact, they’re the real victims.

#MAGA#Republicans are more than happy to excuse the #FarRight #influencers at the center of a #RussianPropaganda scheme.
#RightWing influencers like Tim Pool, Dave Rubin, Lauren Southern, & Benny Johnson all worked w/ #TenetMedia, a #Tennessee-based firm that the #DOJ revealed Wed was secretly funded by #Russia#StateMedia employees in “a scheme to create & distribute content to #US audiences w/ hidden Russian govt messaging.”

#Chutkan’s decision gives the government an opportunity to lay out new #evidence against #Trump, though how much, if at all, they will choose to reveal in the run-up to the #election remains to be seen.
In court, Trump defense attorney #JohnLauro had sparred w/Chutkan over the schedule, arguing that the next 2 months is a “very sensitive time” before Republican nominee Trump faces the Democratic nominee, MVP #KamalaHarris, at the polls.
“It strikes me that what you’re trying to do is affect the presentation of evidence in this case in a way so as not to impinge on the election of the president,” #Chutkan told #Lauro, after the #Trump lawyer objected to an order that would let prosecutors make their case first. “This court is not concerned with the electoral schedule.”

#Trump continues to insist, on a daily [hourly] basis, that MVP #KamalaHarris is a radical communist hellbent on destroying the American way of life.
& that’s against the backdrop of hundreds of #Republicans, who’ve held public office &/or served in #GOP admins, who keep coming forward to effectively remind the electorate just how wrong the former president’s attacks are.
