The guy who racked up almost $8T in debt during his first term has no interest in paying it down.

The federal purge underway is to allow for oligarchs to make trillions in privatization and run roughshod in a deregulated landscape.

Remember that in an oligarchy, everything is run by the oligarchs.

Battacharya and RFJ Jr. don't have "unconventional ideas." They have deeply dangerous, unproven "theories" based on conspiracies. Any and all media outlets referring to "unconventional ideas" will be fully complicit in the many deaths resulting from dismantling the public health system.

In the Battle of Thermopylae (480BC), a small force of Greek soldiers fought valiantly against a mighty Persian army, knowing they could never win.

Their task was to slow down the Persian advance until reinforcements across Greece could be mustered.

Gonna try another old-Twitter-style thread, since the last one got a lot of engagement. This time about a topic some people have raised, but needs more attention: the likelihood that Trump's tariffs will become an engine of immense corruption 1/
