The cracks in the consent-manufacturing apparatus were getting too wide. They're panicking because the last 6 years proved what happens when they lose narrative control.

That's why they took over TikTok. It's why the took over CBS. It's why they're trying to ban young people from the Internet.

SCOOP-2: Isabela Herrera donated $2.5m to MAGA Inc. on 12/31/2024.

At the time, her father, a Venezuelan-Italian banker, was being prosecuted for bribing Puerto Rico's governor.

In July, Trump's DOJ authorized a misdemeanor plea deal, overruling career prosecutors who had pushed a harsher sentence

NEW: Romney pushed tax cuts for his fellow moguls, vilified the bottom 47% as tax scofflaws & fortified a rigged system.

He now published a NYT oped calling for tax hikes, but offers no apology for his record.

Why do the powerful only change after they have no power to fix crises they created?
