Bannon: Election denial is ‘the core belief of the MAGA movement’

"Mappa Mundi has a simple but essential goal—to tell women’s stories—changing the world by changing the way we look at it." – Sandi Toksvig OBE, award-winning author and broadcaster, Co-Founder Women’s Equality Party, Bye-Fellow, Christs College www.theguardian.com/technology/2...
