Journalism has failed us.
When reporters fail to point out the hypocrisy of hiring practices in RED STATES, thousands of undocumented workers in meat & agriculture facilities in poor working conditions, jobs Americans won’t do & zero ICE agents storming the parking lots there,then
Media is a JOKE.

My position on impeachment is the same as it was six months ago: Impeachment is first about driving public attention to Trump’s crimes and corruption.
Democrats should introduce impeachment articles and force votes to boost their parallel media effort.
Performative public investigations matter.

Why push for impeachment?
Because politics is an exercise in moving public opinion as much as counting votes in the senate.
The Jan 6 Hearings were not a criminal proceeding against Trump that would end in jail, but they focused public attention.

Yeah, people are fixating on a Cabinet Secretary being given a sovereign country to run because the president waged war without congressional approval and kidnapped the old leader. Weird that they’d get hung up on that.
WELKER: Mr. Secretary, are you running Venezuela right now?
MARCO RUBIO: Yeah. People are fixating on that. Here's the bottom line -- we expect to see changes in Venezuela

If you are a foreign president who commits crimes overseas, America will come get you, arrest you, and lock you up.
But if you are a US president who commits crimes here in the United States, America will give you immunity from prosecution, reelect you, and bribe you with billions of dollars.

His point is we have to suck ass in a liberal democracy instead of hold out for human rights & bend over for their made up propaganda because we can’t effectively communicate to sway public opinions.
I’ve seen a bunch of responses to the Draper profile of MTG complaining about her pushing ahead a bill that restricts gender-affirming care for minors. This is a misunderstanding of what she’s doing. www.thebulwark.com/p/why-marjor...

Marjorie Taylor Greene's net worth grew after entering Congress in 2021, jumping from around $700,000 to estimates as high as $22-$25 million by late 2025. This is largely attributed to her family's construction business and substantial stock trades with significant portfolio changes since 2021.
