Oh look, the far-right talking heads who were taking Russian money were taking Hungarian money too

And we have got to bolster security at our schools." I don't see how he was misrepresented. Care to explain?

We know regular mass shootings aren't a "fact of life" (Vance) or something we just "have to get over" (Trump) because they weren't always a daily reality in America. We CAN have safer communities. Don't stop demanding action to get them.

I never thought I’d say this so many times about an American president, but Donald Trump is a liar. He calls our country a failing nation. Just look at the facts. He’s dead wrong.

If there are makers and takers in the American economy, one thing is for sure: blue states are the makers.

President Joe Biden is the most pro-union and pro-jobs @potus the United States has ever had - and now, he’s a card-carrying member of the United Association.

This video shows a lot (but not everything) of what I did on J6 defending the Capitol and my colleagues. National Fraternal Order of Police (FOP) chose to back the guy who encouraged the violence instead of US, the officers. drive.google.com/file/d/1At6Fxn…

Note: there's one person, as described in the indictment, who DID do what the Russians ask, to post on the ISIS attack. Benny is one of the candidates to have done that.

emptywheel (Chock full o'Nuts) Just now emptywheel (Chock full o'Nuts) was on Nicole Sandler youtu.be/yxXMgA1jY9E talking about how people are claiming they didn't know it was Russian, but independent journalists get pitched for projects all the time, (but not for 500k). She gets approached by Iranian covers & rejects them.
