RBC PAC’s $20 million last-minute spending spree boosting Trump on abortion was one of the most brazen stunt campaigns in recent memory, designed to evade basic transparency rules.
Turns out it was 100% funded by Elon Musk. @rollingstone.com.web.brid.gy

This new investigative BBC 5 Live podcast sounds AMAZING. Freddie Scappaticci was senior IRA, head of the "nutting squad" that interrogated, tortured, and murdered supposed informers to the British, while also being a British agent described by them as its "golden egg".

This narrative that the Democrats ignored the working class is really aggravating. Be specific. You’re talking about the white working class because the Black working class understood the stakes of this election just fine.
