L’il Davey Hogg’s ‘New’ Democrat Party
James Carville says he might sue ‘contemptible little twerp’ David Hogg for challenging incumbent Democrats
Independent–James Carville railed against Democratic National Committee official David Hogg for funding primary challenges against incumbent Democrats, suggesting Wednesday night that he “might” sue Hogg over the effort while calling the Parkland shooting survivor a “contemptible little twerp.”
Carville’s comments come after he called for progressives to distance themselves from the Democratic Party, calling for a “split” due to what the veteran Democratic strategist called “pronoun politics.”
Hogg, a 25-year-old gun control activist, who was elected the DNC’s vice chair, has sparked an intra-party uproar over his announcement that his political group, Leaders We Deserve, would be spending $20 million to challenge “asleep-at-the-wheel” Democrats in deep-blue districts.

How to spot a conspiracy theory when you see one
The Open University–Anyone who engages critically with the phenomenon of conspiracy theories soon encounters a conundrum. Actual conspiracies occur quite regularly.

How do we differentiate between genuine plots and conspiracies, and those that we usually associate with the term “conspiracy theory” – namely an erroneous or misguided way of thinking? How do we know, for example, when questions about the origins of coronavirus are legitimate concerns and when they should be dismissed as a conspiracy theory?
