Al Franken was forced to resign over a tasteless photo, while Tony Gonzales is being defended by the Speaker of the House after he was caught sexually harassing his staffer until she killed herself. Both parties are not the same.

Imagine.

[The Tennessee Holler @TheTNHoller]

Imagine if the media pointed out there was already a Government Accountability Office whose job it is to go after actual waste and fraud, not just things Elon doesn’t like, and found $70 Billion in savings last year and $2 Trillion in waste since 2003.

NEW: The great Trump-Musk crackdown is coming. And it will hit hard & fast. Journalists will be first. But everyone else is next.

I urge you to read my 20 lessons in How to Survive the Broligarchy, inspired by & featuring the great @TimothyDSnyder.

Wow. Who’d have thought?

This seems completely normal.

Meanwhile in Russia: Putin's presidential aide Nikolay Patrushev said, "To achieve success in the election, Donald Trump relied on certain forces to which he has corresponding obligations. As a responsible person, he will be obliged to fulfill them."

So this is what those weird tabloids with slanted news are all about. Seen them occasionally in PA as well.

Where did Trump voters get their news? 📰

Yes, there's social and partisan sites, but there is another influential strategy that isn't getting enough attention: Manipulated, pay-to-play and all out fake news sites

I've been covering a mix of those for years. Here's a primer

@jackmjenkins This is most certainly true.

Absolutely.

[Rev. Dr. Boudyka @bdk1521]

I got your back, fam.

Indeed.

[Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders]

It should come as no great surprise that a Democratic Party which has abandoned working class people would find that the working class has abandoned them.

While the Democratic leadership defends the status quo, the American people are angry and want change.

And they’re right.
