   The massively bad-faith Republican "investigations" -- persecutions to deter truth-telling -- into vital research on right-wing extremism have paid off for the extremists.

   In a cowardly but understandable move, Stanford University is dismantling its Internet Observatory, which has been a focus of the Republican lies and attacks.

   It's understandable in the way capitulation to Joe McCarthy was understandable in the 1950s before enough people grew spines to stop him.

   #Texas GQP executive committee rejects proposed ban on associating with Nazi sympathizers and Holocaust deniers by a 32-29 vote, delivering a serious blow to a faction of members that has called for the party to confront its ties to groups that have recently employed or associated with outspoken white supremacists and extremists.

   In a separate move that stunned some members, roughly half of the board also tried to prevent a record of their vote from being kept. #abbott
