@TheRickWilson @stuartpstevens The piece that is missing from this and needs to be stressed is that the Republican Party itself has encouraged this for decades, particularly against Pelosi. Every GOP campaign has demonized her through mailers, ads and dangerous rhetoric. AOC, Omar are GOP targets now as well.

The diversion of the funds away from the needy happened largely through sanctioned government processes — whether by the state agency or a private nonprofit — and in many cases with permission and in broad daylight. #TheBackchannel https://t.co/Q3VxkR3mP0

[Anna Wolfe @ayewolfe]

This new allegation is significant. We’ve heard about how officials have used welfare $ to please celebrities and enrich their friends. This is the first of them using the $ to punish their political foes #TheBackchannel

Yeah, I think we also found the anonymous “Democratic Strategist” repeatedly quoted in traditional media with the stupid advice for Democrats

[Markos Moulitsas kos.bsky.social @markos]

Hey, I found the Democrat stupid enough to think that a typical New York Post bullshit headline actually means anything. What next, Breitbart says something mean about Democrats?

UPDATED: Jim Hood’s campaign manager confirmed the account, that the Dem candidates’s wife was forced out of her job at a welfare-funded nonprofit by Republican leaders.

“We came to the conclusion that Tate had his fingers in it. It didn’t surprise us because that’s his MO.”

A top recipient of welfare grants alleges that during the 2019 election year, a lawmaker serving as the "messenger" for Republican former Gov. Phil Bryant, demanded she fire the wife of the top Democratic candidate for governor in order to stay funded. https://t.co/6vh5ugCfCS

[Mississippi Today @MSTODAYnews]

NEW: Texts show former Gov. Phil Bryant, NFL legend Brett Favre and others worked together to channel millions in welfare funds to build a volleyball stadium at their alma mater.

Prosecutors have called that project a scheme to defraud the government.

If there were any doubt about how then-Gov. Phil Bryant was involved in welfare spending during a $77 million scandal: Read this exchange. This was AFTER Nancy New’s nonprofit was raided as part of the largest public fraud investigations in state history #TheBackchannel

CNN’s John Hardwood said Biden’s warning calling MAGA a “threat to Democracy” was “true” & that the Republican Party is led by a “dishonest demagogue: Donald Trump.” Then, John Hardwood quit the network. Another honest journalist driven out by MAGA. CNN is dead. #BoycottCNN.

@stuartpstevens @jheil That’s bullsh*t. They were not ready to move on from Trump. Can’t believe you’re that gullible.

A message from Vice Chair @RepLizCheney about Thursday’s hearing.

[Hugo Lowell @hugolowell]

WASHINGTON (AP) — Members of the House committee investigating the Capitol attack said Sunday they uncovered enough evidence for the Justice Department to consider an unprecedented criminal indictment against Donald Trump for seeking to overturn the results of the 2020 election.

@PelicansNBA @BallySportsNO @NBATV The Pels and NBA are so damn frustrating. I’d love to watch them play and want to get into this team. I live a hour from the city, but can never get them on TV. Even a road game on @NBATV is blacked out. Get a fan-friendly TV deal, you’re wasting chances to grow your fan base.

@stuartpstevens Democrats must be as ruthless in protecting democracy as Republicans are in seeking to destroy it.

@NateSilver538 Just like that you went from “bad take Nate” to “oh my god this guy is a frickin moron”
