NEWS: I spent the past 24 hours going through major MAGA accounts on Twitter, and a bombshell development has become clear: most of the right-wing ecosphere is being fed propaganda from foreign actors.

This impacts elections. This impacts discourse. This is major. Subscribe to support my work:

CEO pay has skyrocketed 1,085% since 1978, while typical worker wages rose just 24%. This disparity—fueled by neoliberal policy—has deepened inequality and contributed to declining U.S. life expectancy.

And they want more & more while we get less & less.

#BlueSkyVets The genuine spectacle America needs to champion is not political drama or performative outrage, but the visceral crisis of food insecurity plaguing millions of its citizens.

This moral obscenity, is so ethically demanding, that it demands action.

JD's family has spent $35M on vacations. Kash Patel used a $60M FBI jet to go on a date. Trump spent $98M to golf for 24% of the days of this term. All our tax dollars. But you think single moms getting $6 a day for SNAP is the problem?

Under Biden, the IRS launched a program for people to file their taxes FOR FREE (finally!)

Well, Trump ended it because TurboTax donated $1 million to him. This White House is just one big grift while the rest of us pay more for everything.
The IRS is reportedly not offering its Direct File program next year. Here’s a look back at how TurboTax owner Intuit spent two decades fighting to prevent Americans from filing their taxes online for free:

Inside TurboTax’s 20-Year Fight to Stop Americans From Filing Their Taxes for Free
Using lobbying, the revolving door and “dark pattern” customer tricks, Intuit fended off the government’s attempts to make tax filing free and easy, and created its multi-billion-dollar franchise.

Only billionaires receive goods & services for free. Assholes.
The I.R.S. is shutting down its free online system for filing tax returns, a program that the Biden administration introduced last year and that users gave high marks.

It’s largely because fundamentalist Christianity has infiltrated the government. You can’t negotiate with the religious right. Barry Goldwater called it.

Excessive force. PERIOD!

They called them “violent mobs,” but the violence came from the guys with badges and body armor.

I debated 20 far-far-far-right conservatives (racists? fascists?) on Jubilee's 'Surrounded.'

Here are some of the highlights of them unable to answer my basic questions or rebut the simplest of points. Not sure whether to laugh or cry.

it's time for journos to start asking Johnson meta questions

"Speaker, on 5 occasions last week you said 'I haven't seen it' when asked about news events w/big implications for public policy. Do you ever read the news, and do you agree it's problematic for the Speaker to be so woefully uninformed?"
