political violence

With the presidential election less than six months away, election workers are raising concerns about their safety. We’ll get into the rising threats to election offices and how that might affect staffing ahead of November. Also, how Tesla’s disbanding of its Supercharger team could impact the Biden’s administration push to expand electric vehicle use. Plus, how a pest control professional saved a baseball game from a swarm of bees.

Here’s everything we talked about today:

• “Nearly Two-Thirds Of Election Officials Worry Politicians Will Interfere With Their Work: Poll” from HuffPost
• “Local Election Officials Survey” from the Brennan Center for Justice
• “They staffed the Jan. 6 committee. Threats still follow them” from Roll Call
• “Musk Undercuts Tesla Chargers That Biden Lauded as ‘a Big Deal’” from Bloomberg
• “Pest control ace clears Dodgers-Diamondbacks bee swarm, throws first pitch” from United Press International

Early on Friday, an intruder broke into the San Francisco home of Nancy Pelosi and bludgeoned Ms. Pelosi’s husband, Paul, with a hammer.

The shocking attack underlined fears about the growing number of threats against members of Congress and the woeful lack of security around those lawmakers.

Guest: Catie Edmondson, a congressional correspondent for The New York Times.

Background reading: 

• A trail of strained relationships. An itinerant life that included a stint living in a storage unit. A personality that was “consumed by darkness.” Who is the man accused of attacking Mr. Pelosi?
• The assault at the Pelosi home comes as threats against members of Congress have increased in recent years.

Today on the Matt Walsh Show, desperate Democrats are warning that voting Republican means the death of democracy. But the real threat to our democracy, in fact to our whole civilization, comes from somewhere else. It comes in part from the protesters at my event last night who were ripping pages out of the Bible and eating them. I’ll explain. Also, Ted Cruz bravely walks into the chicken coup and debates the squawking hens of the View. MSNBC tries to embarrass Trump voters in a focus group but it doesn’t work out how they intended. Sandy Hook families now want to sue Alex Jones for trillions of dollars. And one of the most prominent Native American activist in the country, who just died recently, wasn’t actually Native American at all.
