The problem was never the Harris campaign or her strategy. For 25+ yrs our information space has been steadily co-opted by greedy fascist oligarchs who use lies to sell fear, hatred & division for profit. Limbaugh, Smith, Murdoch, Musk etc. There's NO left-wing analog because facts are boring. 1/2

Such classic gaslighting it's an instructive moment. The question is not whether generic is better or worse, it's that a list with more expensive brand names is not the same as a list with cheaper generics. Perverting that truth into an attack on those calling it out is Manipulation 101.
Hassett: "On one of the Sunday shows, the anchor criticized the fact Walmart said the Thanksgiving dinner is cheaper by about $10. Then he said, 'Oh yeah, but they substituted generic stuff,' as if having a generic something is a crime for ordinary folks! It shows how out of touch these people are."

Ferreira migrated with her family to the United States from Brazil as a child and is currently in custody at an ICE facility in southern Louisiana.

The political persecution of 6 American patriots by the Trump regime is based on nothing but resentment.
Why would politicians object to soldiers being reminded to ignore illegal orders? Because those politicians intend to issue illegal orders. It's just that simple.

Three things about the Witkoff tapes:
1) It appears Western intelligence services have decided to let Witkoff (and Trump) know they have recordings of their traitorous conversations w/Russia.
2) This Ukraine "deal" was all Witkoff's idea.
3) Congressional leaders should demand he be fired.

Witkoff Advised Russia on How to Pitch Ukraine Plan to Trump
US presidential envoy Steve Witkoff, fresh from the triumph of the Gaza peace deal, held a phone call last month with a senior Kremlin official to suggest they work together on a similar plan for Ukraine — and that Vladimir Putin should raise it with Donald Trump.

Trump never cared about regular Americans, he only ever cared about seizing more & more power in order to enrich himself, his family & his circle of greedy oligarchs.
