thirdparty, ICYMI, BogeyCandidates, Scaring, still, Dems, Zombie0 comment

WASHINGTON, D.C. – As we get closer to Election Day, MoveOn Political Action and Third Way are anchoring a broad, cross-ideological coalition to warn Democrats and educate voters on the dangers that third-party candidates could have on the election.  Robert F. Kennedy Jr. may have dropped out, but he remains on the ballot in roughly two dozen states, including in Michigan and Wisconsin. Jill Stein’s vote totals in Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin were enough to cost Hillary Clinton the election in 2016 and hand the White House to Donald Trump.…

We Still Need to Trump-Proof America

America, still, need, TrumpProof0 comment

What will happen if Donald Trump secures a second term as president? Polling remains close—and though a Democratic victory seems far more likely than it did before the Biden-Harris swap, it’s hardly assured. Should Trump pull out a win in November, voters might imagine that they know what to expect: more chaos, more grievance, more all-caps rants on social media. But a second Trump term would be much more dangerous than the first. Trump’s unexpected victory in 2016 left him flailing to staff the executive branch and unequipped with the…

For more on this, Federal News Network executive producer Eric White spoke to WTOP Capitol Hill correspondent Mitchell Miller on the Federal Drive with Tom…

The Truth About Aliens Is Still Out There

Truth, There, about, still, Aliens0 comment

The question is not whether aliens exist—I’m firmly in the “Hell yeah, they do!” camp—but rather when we’ll have enough hard evidence to end the decades-long debate over said existence. Believers in UFOs have gotten some tantalizing clues over the past few years. Those 2019 New York Times videos of zig-zagging, Tic Tac–like vessels with curious propulsion are always worth a rewatch. Likewise, the huge New Yorker feature by Gideon Lewis-Kraus, “How the Pentagon Started Taking UFOs Seriously,” is pretty much required reading before you offer a qualified opinion on…
