Fight disinformation: Sign up for the free Mother Jones Daily newsletter and follow the news that matters.

Via Felix Salmon, this might be the most perfect blog chart ever: totally fascinating but without any serious redeeming value at all.  Even better, it provides support for virtually any politico-cultural argument you care to make.  It comes from Credit Karma:

Based on a sample of 20,000 credit scores, our data shows that there is a difference of average scores based on what email service users prefer. Interestingly, Gmail and Comcast users came out the top with a higher average, while AOL and Yahoo users had the lowest average credit scores.

Hah!  Stupid Yahoo users do poorly!  But — southerners seem to do well!  Snooty Gmail users aren’t as great as they think!  Etc.  I’ll bet David Brooks could squeeze an entire column out of this.

DONALD TRUMP & DEMOCRACY

Mother Jones was founded to do journalism differently. We stand for justice and democracy. We reject false equivalence. We go after stories others don’t. We’re a nonprofit newsroom, because the kind of truth-telling investigations we do doesn’t happen under corporate ownership.

And we need your support like never before, to fight back against the existential threats American democracy faces. Fundraising for nonprofit media is always a challenge, and we need all hands on deck right now. We have no cushion; we leave it all on the field.

It’s reader support that enables Mother Jones to report the facts that are too difficult, expensive, or inconvenient for other news outlets to uncover. Please help with a donation today if you can—even a few bucks will make a real difference. A monthly gift would be incredible.
