Follow ups and not tolerating lies and bullshit.

Imagine if corporate media did this for 10 years.

STEPHANOPOULOS: Did Tom Homan give the $50,000 back?

VANCE: He did not take a bribe. It's a ridiculous smear

STEPHANOPOULOS: You didn't answer the question

VANCE: Did he accept $50,000? I'm sure that in the course of Homan's life, he's been paid more than $50k for services.

(So, no, he didn't)

Of note, I did not see any ICE ads on HBO Max in my area tonight, which was extremely surprising yet pleasantly delightful. I saw that TNT did it though to a bunch of y'all, so please keep bombarding WBD/local broadcasting with emails and calls #AEWCollision 🤼‍♂️

The tech billionaires now exist in a bubble they created as protection for their wealth, power, and ideologies. It's leaking, and they cannot see past the filmy perimeter to what exactly is happening globally.

You know what fascism looks like? Attorney General Letitia James getting criminally indicted on literal trumped-up charges by the criminal who she fought to hold accountable for the actual crimes he committed and is now using the full power of the US govt to seek vengeance.

@warnock.senate.gov: "As a man of faith, here's something that I have noticed about evil... Evil always gets a little bit too impressed with itself. It's filled up with hubris. Evil always goes too far, and because it goes too far, it contains within itself the seed of its own destruction."

Perhaps this should come as no surprise in a country that refuses to protect its school children from mass shootings in school? Or at school sponsored activities?
