I like history and a robust social safety net. I don’t like fascists and authoritarians.

The oligarch needs to be dismantled like in the Progressive Era … but this time for good.

Trump-friendly oligarchs are buying up major media with the regime's help. They control CNN, CBS, Fox, TikTok, Meta, X and major local TV chains. Yet Mike Johnson is still claiming liberal bias. The real media conspiracy is the corporate consensus to normalize Johnson and other right-wing radicals.

Mike Johnson offers a conspiracy theory to explain away his party's dire polling: "I believe there's a concerted effort between Democrats and the mainstream media that's openly biased in their favor to discourage the Republican side"

Not that they learn, but every GOP congressperson should take note that Trump is gutting a bill named for one of his greatest sycophants, Lindsay Graham. For all his faults, Graham was a staunch pro-Ukraine voice in Trump’s ear. Trump just pissed on Graham’s grave and legacy.

The Lindsey Graham Act would have imposed significant new sanctions on Russia from 18 October, but allowed the President to issue waivers. He just did. To avoid screaming, I went through every provision explaining them and indicating which he waived. Spoiler: All the ones that did anything.

The mainstream media is mostly owned by right wing oligarchs at this point, and they will push the pardon Trump narrative hard. Even if the midterms prevent Trump from being Orange Julius Caesar, there is a real risk that he is a Sulla figure - who shattered norms & paved the way for the Caesars.

(8/X) tough. For another, the Atlantic etc. will run a million articles about looking forward not backwards. There's just no way people will be prosecuted. Now let's go on to (c). Think about if for a bit. Most establishment media is essentially reactionary centrist in its outlook.
