TRAILER: “Finding the Money”

This doc with @stephaniekelton.bsky.social makes the case that the way we look at our national debt is all wrong, and that those in power who say we’re “broke” (to reject things we should do) are missing half the picture.

Oh good lord
Trump reportedly told Justin Trudeau that if Trump’s tariffs destroyed Canada, and the country could not survive without “ripping off the U.S. to the tune of $100 billion a year,” then Canada should become the United States’ 51st state, with Trudeau serving as its governor, per FOX.

Why isn’t the media harping on the fact that Trump won with the smallest margin in a quarter century and got less than half the vote? This should be a 24/7 news story. Are they afraid of Donald, or complicit?

When I said Kennedy Jr. could eventually kill millions, I meant it. As ever, Trump privileged money and power over everything else in promising DHHS to a madman in exchange for his endorsement.

The death toll America could experience due to the greed of Donald Trump is staggering. Read this report.

RFK Jr will do to the U.S. what he did to Samoa - all to make a buck. Please watch this if you haven’t.
Last year, when I was at MSNBC, I did a 10-minute deep-dive into RFK Jr's anti-vaxxer role in the measles outbreak that killed dozens and dozens of kids in Samoa.

I hope every Senator voting in his confirmation process for HHS knows about this crucial and awful story:

I’m pretty sure this is not legal. Congressmen can’t trade and make money on their job.

I hate to repost this highly misogynist meme but I want to highlight what @ianbassin.bsky.social is saying. This is not business as usual.
In Hungary, a key Orbán tactic in dismantling their democracy was that his allies bought media outlets that were critical of the regime and turned them into loyal cheerleaders for the regime.

There's not a single comms expert on Earth who fails to understand that this is an attempt to spread disinformation.

When Elon found out that much of what I used to teach at University of New Hampshire fell into the ambit of comms, he called my work "bullshit."

But all he does, all day, is comms.

While I'm definitely worried about the negative impacts of the next administration, I'm more worried about the cover-up of the impact data. Recall that Trump did everything he could to hide COVID data.
