This is a lie.
It wasn’t just about congressionally appropriated funds that were illegally withheld.
Food and medical supplies expired in warehouses.
People died because Musk refused to distribute food and medicine that had already been purchased.
Not only did Musk’s actions directly lead to countless deaths, in many cases it didn’t save a penny.
I look forward to the day he is held accountable.
#BREAKING: Legendary #Maddow: “In Surprise Arizona…you’re going to think I’m making this up, but I’m not making this up. The people in Surprise, Arizona who are fighting the potential Trump prison camp they want to put there. Those folks are SO ANNOYED with their city council not helping them stop this thing, that those local residents are now advancing an effort to literally DISSOLVE THE CITY of Surprise, Arizona, to unincorporate the city specifically so there won’t be a city council anymore, so the city council won’t be in their way as they continue to fight the Trump prison camp and therefore they can fight this thing harder.” 😳😂
Our Director of National Intelligence has zero national security experience.
Now he’s firing public servants who do.
This is not only stupid, it makes us less safe.
The sentences handed down today are a huge threat to the possibility of a democratic society. The prosecution is rife with constitutional violations, but 30 years in prison (more than anyone for January 6) for moving some magazines? 50 years in prison even for those not involved in planning the protest? The evidence of an illegal conspiracy is non-existent, but this is how the authoritarian dragnet targets those fighting against repression. Everyone should be learning about this case. https://t.co/XLki7OBuID
America has gotten to that last part of Monopoly where the game is effectively over and we’re all just watching the Elites suck up all the money, nobody else is allowed to really keep playing the game & we’re all getting more pissed by the minute
Flip the damn board over already
The maximum amount a person can donate to a candidate is $3500.
Miriam Adelson just donated another $25 million.
Citizens United didn’t give corporations “free speech.”
It let billionaires buy elections and legally bribe politicians.
End Citizens United.
Never before in American history have so few people held so much wealth and power.
Never before has there been so much income and wealth inequality.
This is THE issue of our time.
It cannot be ignored and the progressive working-class movement we are building WILL confront it.
The Pentagon is the only place in America where you can fail 8 audits in a row, admit you’ll fail the next few & still get handed more money than you asked for.
But let a family need help buying groceries and suddenly it’s a lecture about hard work, responsibility & bootstraps.
THE NETWORK
7 days after Jamal Khashoggi walked into the Saudi consulate in Istanbul and never came out, Jeffrey Epstein sent Steve Bannon a private map of MBS's covert operations network.
No preamble. No context. Just names.
"Yemen / Iran / oil - zamel, nader . Prinz / 1mdb / deripaska"
Every name on that list is a thread in a separate international scandal.
George Nader. convicted paedophile and Mueller witness. Fixer between Gulf states and the Trump campaign. Joel Zamel. Israeli social media manipulation firm Psy Group. Offered influence operations to the Trump campaign. Elliott Broidy. Republican fundraiser. 1MDB. The Malaysian sovereign wealth fund looted of $4.5 billion. Oleg Deripaska. Russian oligarch. Paul Manafort's handler.
Epstein was not reading the news. He was reading the network. Every name connects to Gulf money, covert influence operations, and the orbit of the 2016 Trump campaign.
Khashoggi had been dead for 4 days. Epstein's first response was to map who else MBS had his hands on.
This is message 1271 of 3,356 in the Bannon thread alone. We have read 1,300.

Ron Johnson moved the family business to China, dined in Moscow on the 4th of July, opposes women’s rights, was the bagman in an attempt to overturn our election, worships a pedophile, and is a vaccine denier.
What a waste of human flesh.
Fuck Ron Johnson 🖕
The U.S. military was charged $4,361 for a half inch metal pin that costs $46.
Why? Defense contractors—with ties to private equity—are raking in excess profits.
Instead of cracking down, Trump's DoD is inviting private equity to be MORE involved in our national defense.
Gosh, who could have known Tulsi Gabbard answers to Chris Butler and not the Constitution?
It’s so great that we now have mainstream media telling us shit we already know—exactly when it’s too late.
She was in our shit for over a year. Her guru—and his clients—have it all.
