The lies and delusions revealed in Mark Meadows' texts are already poisoning the next election
CNN
The most chilling takeaway of a new haul of texts showing how former President Donald Trump's inner circle schemed to steal the 2020 election is not the delusional fervor of their plan or the casual way plotters rejected the legitimate will of the American people.
It's not even the hypocrisy of key Trump supporters who were in some cases disgusted and scared by the US Capitol insurrection and knew it was wrong but have since tried to whitewash it and the ex-President's culpability from history.
The most alarming revelation from 2,319 texts sent and received by ex-White House chief of staff Mark Meadows, which were exclusively reported by CNN on Monday, is that that same authoritarian stew is already poisoning yet another election -- November's midterms -- with the lie that Trump won in 2020.

A little-known civil rights office in the Department of Education that helps resolve complaints from students across the country about discrimination and accommodating disabilities has been gutted by the Trump administration and is now facing a ballooning backlog, a workforce that’s in flux and an unclear mandate.
