People spend a lot of time wondering why the left is worse at using independent media to control the national narrative.
A useful exercise is to ask why the left is also worse at selling snake oil and pyramid schemes, because I think the reasons are basically exactly the same.

Donald Trump has betrayed America's farmers. Because of Trump many are facing financial catastrophes.
Trump froze farmer's funding and broke their contracts.
Now they're mad–rightfully so.
See what farmers in Wisconsin, Kansas, Kentucky, and elsewhere are saying about Trump abandoning them 🧵⤵️

“We get the government *out* of wasteful contracts. Musk wants that money back for himself.”
I believe Musk and DOGE disbanded 18F because we stood in the way of their "procurement capture" operation. We get the government *out* of wasteful contracts. Musk wants that money back for himself.

Any psychologist or psychiatrist (or former abused spouse) will tell you that President Zelensky gave a master class today on how to deal with a malignant narcissist.
He is an amazing man. We can all learn from him.

We fought for 7 years to get away from a king. The constitution is clear- Americans do not want a concentration of power.
It is the division the separation of power - the legislative, executive, and judicial branches of government - that prevents any one branch from becoming too powerful.

Let's be clear.
All these tech billionaires like Bezos and Musk and Zuckerberg didn't become right wingers because of some ideological awakening -- or because of "wokeness."
It's because they're BILLIONAIRES and they want to avoid taxes.
That's it. It's the MONEY.

The GOP passed a budget resolution tonight that will gut Medicaid, SNAP, and other vital programs — as 60% of Americans live paycheck to paycheck.
Why? To finance more tax cuts for the top 1%.
We have socialism in this country for the rich, harsh capitalism for everyone else.
