CNN —Elon Musk is showing the world how radicalized he has become. To those not fluent in the intricacies of right-wing media, some of what Musk said may have sounded bizarre or even foreign. But in the right-wing fever swamps, where Musk is now deeply entrenched, these are the issues that animate the masses. Once upon a time, Musk welcomed having a media personality like Lemon on the X platform. Unfortunately for the rest of the world, Musk is hell bent on taking everyone else down there with him.

☆ North Carolina judges block GOP effort to reshape state’s election boards
▼ + stars: | 2024-03-12 | by ( Fredreka Schouten | ) edition.cnn.com time to read: +4 min

CNN —A bipartisan panel of judges in North Carolina has ruled that the Republican-controlled state legislature improperly tried to seize control of state and local election boards from Democratic Gov. The state Board of Elections, for instance, currently has three Democrats and two Republicans. Previous efforts by Republicans in the General Assembly to change the makeup of election boards have been rejected by the courts, and by voters in a 2018 referendum. Republican state lawmakers who pushed the change had argued that it would bring bipartisan balance to decision-making around elections. Several lawmakers had accused state election officials of reaching a “collusive settlement” with Democratic litigants to extend the deadline to count absentee ballots during the 2020 election.

CNN —Rep. Virginia Foxx, the Republican chairwoman of the House Education Committee, said Tuesday that Harvard University has failed to comply with her unprecedented subpoena for documents on campus antisemitism. Harvard turned over another trove of documents about campus antisemitism to Congress on Monday evening. Foxx argued that heavy redactions by Harvard made several documents “useless,” while many others were duplicates of documents previously submitted. The Education Committee did not detail specifically which steps lawmakers are now considering to enforce its subpoena. “Harvard denounced antisemitism on our campus and have made clear that the University will continue to take actions to combat antisemitism in any form,” Newton said.
