This is why oligarchs have bought all the media. They create their own complimentary reality

Elon Musk has spent more money on politics in the last 2 years than George Soros has spent in his entire lifetime.

the markets have essentially become a gauge for how much corruption the government in power is going to let the business class get away with

Putin's remarks make clear how he views Trump as a pawn to use against the Europeans to accomplish his strategic ends.

FLASHBACK — Republican Paul Weyrich (co-founder of the Heritage Foundation & ALEC): “I don’t want everybody to vote… our leverage in elections goes up as the voting populace goes down.” They’ve been saying it out loud for years. Please vote. 🗳️ 🇺🇸

Trump’s presidency is a wealth transfer from the bottom to the top

Vivek Ramaswamy doesn’t care what you think because you don't matter. The assuredness of his brilliance, compared with the hard-working, quiet strength of Amy Acton, highlights an important duality in American life today: mediocre men have wrecked this place, but good people can improve it.

I ain’t reading all that.

Never under estimate the depravity of republican voters.

You'd think that Trump's decision to turn control of Alaska's massive LNG port project to the Kremlin (Novatek) would be big news in Alaska. But so far, ADN hasn't reported even a word about it. I wonder why.

Americans have now spent $142 billion more on gasoline and diesel since March 1, enough to buy 361,000 homes at the September median price, enough to house over 900,000 people, due to the US war on Iran and other factors like limited output from Russia

The fact that striking Iran can be put on hold for weeks in an attempt to sway the midterms clear proof that Iran doesn’t pose an imminent danger and this war is an evil charade

Something like this could have happened and would explain why Trump would (more than once) seem to change his mind after a phone call from Putin. Well-worth a deep look into this after November 3rd.

Trump: I have to keep going! I promised to be there! Literally Everyone: You can stop any time. It's ok. You really don't need to go. T: Even if it kills me! LE: Well... if you're that committed, you should go.

The Republican Party is giving us cancer. The New York Times doesn't say it that directly, but its investigation proves it.

This is the kind of deal the Democrats need to investigate immediately if they take Congress. An oil deal in Alaska which actually might be a gift to the Russians with Trump involvement. www.ft.com/content/e9cf...

Still covering Elon Musk as a business mogul and not foregrounding his murderous white nationalist politics is like doing a piece on only the clown career of John Wayne Gacy.
