Opinion | Study confirms what many suspected: the 2024 election was rigged

Written by Thom Hartmann, July 10, 2026

"It sure looks like #TechBillionaires and foreign #dictatorships gave us Trump in 2024. This is as bad as the massive #RussianBot presence on #Facebook and #Twitter back in 2016, which Robert Mueller documented gave Trump the presidency that time.

"A peer-reviewed study released Thursday in Nature, the world’s most prestigious scientific journal, has finally put hard numbers to what a lot of us suspected the moment the 2024 election was called for Trump (and Republicans in Congress) by the big networks: the algorithms that control our largest #SocialMedia platforms intentionally and explicitly tilted the playing field, and they tilted it for Donald #Trump and the #GOP.

"Researchers at New York University Abu Dhabi created hundreds of 'sock puppet' #TikTok accounts in New York, Texas, and Georgia (via VPN), uploaded to them either pro-Democratic or pro-Republican videos to show their political leanings, and then watched what TikTok’s algorithm fed back to them every day over the 27 weeks leading up to #ElectionDay.

"Across more than 280,000 recommendations, Republican-seeded accounts received about 11.5 percent more 'party-aligned content' than their Democratic counterparts, while the pro-Democratic accounts were force-fed 7.5 percent more attacks from the other side. As Professor Talal Rahwan put it:
'The algorithm wasn’t just giving people what they want; it was giving one side more of what the other side says about them.'

"The pro-#rightwing bias was even more dramatic when researchers looked at how the candidates’ own accounts did. Candidate Trump’s official TikTok videos were pushed to Democratic-leaning users 27 percent of the time, while #KamalaHarris’s videos only reached Republican-leaning users just 15.3 percent of the time.

"Translation: Leading up to the 2024 election, TikTok was working overtime to expose Democrats and lefties to MAGA’s most persuasive messaging, all while shielding rightwingers, independents, and Republican voters from Harris’s voice."

The Maine Democratic Party is taking the opposite tack in replacing Graham Platner than the national party took in replacing Joe Biden, organizing a 600-person convention elected from county committees to nominate candidates and select one.

Will it work any better than just anointing a replacement did? I have no idea. And it's been many, many decades since there was a "nominating convention" anywhere in this country where the delegates did not know going in who the nominee was going to be.

Should be interesting to watch, though

Licensed to drill? How a #Trump-linked Texas #OilCompany is elbowing its way into #Greenland

#GreenlandEnergy says billions of barrels of crude could lie beneath territory and claims it has permission to bring drilling kit ashore – a claim denied by #Nuuk

by Tom Burgis, 9 Jul 2026

"On 10 June, a snowy-haired American in his 60s addressed the residents of a remote Greenland hamlet. He was there to tell them about a business venture supported by figures linked to Donald Trump. 'So,' Robert Price said via an interpreter, 'we have a project to drill for oil here.'

"The Texas oil company that Price represents, Greenland Energy, hopes to prove that billions of barrels of crude lie underground by bringing in 300 shipping containers of drilling kit.

" 'We have the permit to put the equipment on the land,' footage of the gathering in Ittoqqortoormiit shows Price saying. 'And then we’ve filed our permits – pending approval – to drill.'

"But Greenland’s resources ministry said that contrary to Price’s claim, there were
'no actually active permissions for any exploration activity or permissions for preparations for these activities'.

"The dispute threatens a showdown between the Trump-linked backers of Greenland Energy and the authorities in the vast, sparsely populated territory. Trump’s lieutenants are using the prospect of an American oil find in Greenland to bolster their case for an American takeover."

[...]

"The wells are expected to be drilled in an area protected by the global #RamsarConvention to preserve #wetlands. David Boertmann, an expert on Greenland’s birds, said the #ConservationZone hosts important numbers of barnacle geese and pink-footed geese as well as whimbrel, golden plover, Sabine’s gull and snowy owl, plus #muskoxen. Oil exploration activities could threaten the birds’ habitat, Boertmann said."

Why Isn’t News of #Trump Building Vast #ConcentrationCamps Being Treated as a #NationalEmergency?

History shows us that once a nation builds a #MassDetention apparatus, it never remains limited to its original targets. Wake up, people.

by #ThomHartmann, Feb 05, 2026

Excerpt: "The British originated the term '#ConcentrationCamp' to describe facilities where '#rebel' or 'undesirable' civilians were held in #SouthAfrica during the #SecondAngloBoerWar (1899–1902) to control and punish a #rebellious population.

"They were facilities where the 'bad elements of society' were 'concentrated' into one location so they could be easily controlled and would lose access to society and thus could not spread their messages of #resistance against the #BritishEmpire.

"Future generations of Americans—our children and grandchildren—won’t ask us whether #ICE followed civil detention statutes: they’ll want to know why we allowed concentration camps to exist in America at all.

"The Germans adopted the term in 1933 when #Hitler took power and created his first camp for #communists, #socialists, #UnioLleaders, and, by the end of the year, Hitler’s #PoliticalOpponents. They Germanized the phrase into '#Konzentrationslager' and referred to the process of their incarceration as 'protective custody.'

"The first camp was built at #Dachau just weeks after Hitler became Chancellor in 1933, and by the end of the year there were around 70 of them operating across the country."

#Mexico to request criminal charges over deaths following shooting of #HoustonTX man by #ICE

By María Verza, July 9, 2026

MEXICO CITY (AP) — "Mexico will request criminal charges over 17 Mexicans who died in ICE custody or during immigration enforcement operations by the #Trump administration, officials said Thursday.

"Mexican Foreign Minister #RobertoVelasco’s announcement Thursday morning further escalated tensions with the United States, as Mexico’s government has sharply criticized the treatment of its citizens under U.S. President Donald Trump’s push to increase deportations.

"The request, which carries no legal weight, will be submitted to state prosecutors’ offices and the U.S. Department of Justice, asking them to consider criminal charges against those responsible for the deaths.

"It will be accompanied by civil lawsuits against the companies that operate the #DetentionCenters in an effort to put an end to #HumanRightsViolations in those facilities, Velasco said.

"President #ClaudiaSheinbaum said Thursday that Mexico decided to “move beyond diplomatic channels” and escalate its complaints after an ICE agent killed Mexican citizen #LorenzoSalgadoAraujo in Houston this week. Sheinbaum said the killing 'is not only sad and regrettable, but also appears to have been targeted.'

" 'We are going to do everything in our power, because we cannot stand silent' in the face of the deaths of Mexicans 'whose only crime is working honestly in the United States,' Sheinbaum said."

#JayME #datacenter developer sought to give Janet Mills ‘cover’ for key veto, emails show

Emails obtained by the BDN show a developer solicited local letters of support to give Gov. Janet Mills “cover” for her veto of a statewide #DataCenterBan.

By Daniel O'Connor
Published on: July 6, 2026

"Emails obtained by the BDN show a developer solicited local letters of support to give Gov. Janet Mills 'cover' for her veto of a statewide data center ban.

"Gov. Janet Mills’ office worked closely with the developer behind a stalled Jay data center project who solicited local letters of support that would give her 'cover' to veto a statewide data center ban, according to emails obtained by the Bangor Daily News.

"The April veto killed what would have been the first statewide ban on new data centers in the country that would have lasted until late 2027, a politically risky move for Mills that came days before she ended her Democratic U.S. Senate primary. Her office had been laying the groundwork to protect the Jay project for weeks before she announced the decision.

"Emails obtained in a public records request from the town of Jay show Mills had concerns about the ban’s effect on the project since at least late March, more than a month before she killed the measure. The project her veto was meant to protect has since stalled anyway, with its would-be operator pulling out in June and prompting criticism of Mills from progressive backers of the ban.

"#TonyMcDonald, a real estate developer with the Portland-based #BoulosCompany leading the project, solicited support for the veto from Jay officials and, later, a labor union with a stake in the project. The emails show that Mills had doubts about the bill over the Jay project since at least late March, more than a month before she ultimately killed it."

‘Heartbreaking’ #transportation cuts hit home in #GOP districts

Across the U.S., communities are grappling with the fallout of the GOP’s sprawling domestic policy law — including in Republican districts.

By Chris Marquette and Sam Ogozalek, 08/20/2025

"A city in southwestern Utah was poised to benefit from an $87.6 million federal grant to help reconnect neighborhoods split by an increasingly congested Interstate 15.

"But the money intended for the project in St. George vanished after President Donald Trump signed the GOP’s massive tax and spending package last month.

"The solidly Republican community isn’t alone. Across the country, the new law rescinded more than $2.2 billion in unobligated dollars from a $3.2 billion Biden-era program aimed at helping reconnect disadvantaged neighborhoods divided by roadways, according to records reviewed by POLITICO. Areas hit by the cuts include some represented by GOP lawmakers who voted for the law — in the latest example of Trump’s most significant legislative triumph complicating life back home for his allies in Congress.

"In Bowling Green, Kentucky, the law canceled 93 percent of an $11 million grant meant to boost pedestrian safety on a roadway. In western Montana, it wiped out money aimed at improving a highway on the Flathead Indian Reservation and better connecting Missoula-area communities. And on Maryland’s Eastern Shore, the law ended more than $4 million in funding that would have gone toward addressing similar concerns in two municipalities.

"It 'felt like the carpet was pulled out from underneath of us,' said Zack Tyndall, the mayor of Berlin, Maryland. Mayoral elections there are non-partisan. 'We’re still trying to figure out how we can move forward.'

"In St. George, a short drive from Zion National Park’s stunning views and sandstone cliffs, the $87.6 million would have helped address the increasingly busy interstate highway that bifurcates the rapidly growing city. Residents in the area voted overwhelmingly for Trump in 2020 and 2024. But now they’re feeling the impacts of Republicans’ quest to scrub the government of Biden-era programs that conflict with Trump’s priorities."
