Still unfathomable to me given the horrendous destruction of DOGE and how unfathomably heinous he continues to be on his social media duchy, that he can shovel cash to Republicans, go to a state dinner, and the press still doesn't treat him as remotely problematic as Hasan Piker.

Twitter not laughing at your jokes, buy Twitter. HBO owns streaming rights to an unflattering exposé, buy a piece of HBO. Government regulations threaten your businesses, buy the government. Elon Musk seems determined to be a case study in the problem with unfettered wealth.

Once again, this was how the Economist characterized the American economy on Election Day in 2024. We had a country on the brink of stunning success, but the Republicans knee-capped it with trade wars and real wars of their own choosing.

The lead alone, of the WSJ article on Fetterman www.wsj.com/politics/pol...
"One morning in June, three paralyzed military veterans in wheelchairs from rural Pennsylvania arrived at the office of Sen. John Fetterman for a long-awaited meeting to discuss legislation that would improve their care. 

Fetterman’s staff greeted them with bad news: The Pennsylvania Democrat had to cancel. He’d told his staff he may have eaten something bad and wasn’t feeling well, according to people familiar with the matter.

Less than an hour after his staffers met with the veterans in his place, Fetterman walked into his office, showing no signs of illness. He had an appointment he didn’t want to miss, he told staff: an interview on Fox News to discuss Israel and the war in Iran. "

I don't think it should be controversial to say, "we will not provide financial or military assistance to a country where the Minister of National Security brags about popping people's dreams of 'food' and 'education' then sending them to a prison where they are starved."

It’s mind-blowing that we have literal white nationalists in the White House carrying out unfathomably cruel, abusive, white nationalist policies, and the punditariat has spent the last two weeks debating if some people were too intemperate after a Black man was murdered by cops six years ago.

It's not a coincidence that he posted this on X. If you spend time there regularly, then a statement like this seems perfectly savvy, even edgy. It's just another example of how X cooks smart people's brains. There is no safe level of exposure.

Lying about “total control” of an international strait and low oil prices gets zero pushback from the press. Legacy media has totally abdicated its duty. This is why supporting independent journalists like @atrupar.com is essential for accountability. Thanks for the receipts!

Susan Collins pulls into town in a bus full of her supporters; then they all get off the bus; and then she addresses the folks who were on the bus with her as if they were regular Mainers; and legacy media covers this, pretending it isn't deeply bizarre. (Notice the guys with cameras.) #MEpolitics
