The Dem establishment is in on it 3. Most of what is raised goes to fundraising consultants 4. Capitulation to legal threats by NYT and The Bulwark on a fully vetted story 🧵👇data4democracy.substack.comHook and SqueezeHow Democratic consultants, committees, and party leaders built a fundraising spam pipeline that funnels money from a captive pool of elderly donors into their own operations. 22871346

FredMage @fredmage.bsky.social · 10/08/2026@kimberlyadams.bsky.social please don’t frame stories about the US Postal Service as “losing money” as you did on Marketplace this morning. It is a public service; it is not supposed to “make money”. How much money has the Department of Homeland Security lost this year? 010

Or all the games should be rescheduled for 🇨🇦 & 🇲🇽. The USMNT should be disqualified now & suspended from the next WC. Or, we can start acting like a serious country of adults. 662709746

FredMage @fredmage.bsky.social · 05/06/2026I’ve listened to this a lot, but I don’t think 100x. I didn’t really get introduced to the Mats until like 2017. 010
