It Seems to Get Worse Every Day

An important part of the Republican party’s strategy going into the 2024 elections is to convince Americans that their country lies in ruins due to the incompetence of the Democrats in power. Unfortunately, this means amplifying every piece of bad news, and, in particular, telling bald-faced lies about important things like hurricane response.

Now, we have Republican leaders who are begging their team to drop this practice, because it’s damaging our government’s capacity to help its citizens in this time of emergency.
