“The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.” Americans must heed George Orwell’s warning. The Trump administration is engulfed in blatant corruption — and everyone can see it.

Trump has significantly more mentions in the Epstein files compared to Clinton, with over 38,000 references for Trump. If anyone should testify in front of the committee it should be Trump. But we know: 1) he’ll never be honest and 2) the Republicans don’t have the spine to do it. 🔄

I expected the cuts would be bad but I'm honestly stunned and sickened seeing how many great journalists the Washington Post just lost. People who nailed huge investigations, documented war zones, exposed horrific crimes, dropped all at once for failures they did not cause.

Everybody has it backwards. Billionaires aren’t buying up these institutions to make money. They’re buying them to kill them. Same as the oligarchs destroying government and social programs and things like weather forecasting and regulatory bodies. They’re creating a world they control completely
