THREAD: Mitch McConnell endangers our democracy. From refusing to alert us about Putin's attack in 2016, to his racist obstruction of Obama, to blocking hundreds of bills to improve our lives and democracy. He must go. Here's how we take back the Senate...
newsweek.com/mitch-mcconnel…
Democrats need to hold on to two vulnerable Senate seats and win four more to gain a majority in the Senate. With all these strong candidates for Senate, there's a great shot at taking back power from McConnell. Let's get to work!

Digging into Speaker Johnson--a staunch evangelical, and the other MAGA Christian nationalists blocking aid to Ukraine in the House, I discovered that Ukraine plays a role in their demented "end times" world view 🧵
Mike Johnson is a staunch evangelical. He was featured in a German documentary on taking his daughter to a purity ball where she signed a pledge to never have sex before marriage. Purity balls are seen as dehumanizing to young girls and women abcnews.go.com/US/speaker-mik…
Mike Johnson explained that his worldview is the bible. Evangelicals take the bible as fact, including creationism (the Earth was created by God in 6 days) and the end times prophecies Image

What's life like in Orban's Hungary, the most corrupt country in the EU? Miserable, especially if you're a child (high malnutrition rates), a young adult, a woman, LGBTQ+ person and ally, a refugee, and anyone with an open mind🧵
According to a recent study, Hungary is the most corrupt country in the EU, a trend that accelerated under Orban politico.eu/article/hungar…
Transparency International: "The Corruption Perceptions Index (CPI) is the most widely used global corruption ranking in the world. It measures how corrupt each country’s public sector is perceived to be, according to experts." Let's look at Hungary's CPI. transparency.org/en/news/how-cp…

Remember this shocking story from the 2016 election? The Trump campaign gutted Ukraine aid in the official RNC platform. Today this is mainstream for the GOP, with McConnell folding on Ukraine aid. This is catastrophic for the US and the world🧵 npr.org/2017/12/04/568…
The recent transformation of the GOP into the Party of Putin began gradually, with only a few in Congress, like former Congressman Dana Rohrabacher, who the Kremlin considered an asset, according to the FBI nytimes.com/2017/11/21/us/…
In 2018, current House Speaker Mike Johnson took tens of thousands of dollars in dark money campaign donations linked to a Russian oligarch close to Putin who was part of the larger Kremlin operation exposed in the Mueller Report newsweek.com/house-speaker-…

We need to talk about the Reagan Revolution. In many ways, we're still living in it, with wealth inequality worse than in the Gilded Age and elite criminal impunity🧵 Image
According to French economist Gabriel Zucman, who studied under Thomas Piketty, author of the bestselling book “Capital in the Twenty-First Century,” the 1% in America hold more wealth than the Carnegies and Fricks of the Gilded Age finance.yahoo.com/news/super-ric…
The Reagan Revolution (greed is good, deregulation, tax cuts for the wealthy, cuts of social services/war on the poor) began with the Powell Memo in 1971, a blueprint for the rise of today's far-right corporate capture of our courts and government billmoyers.com/content/the-po…

Let's look at a Russian-linked financial backer of George Santos. Did they get their money’s worth with George Santos in Congress? The answer is yes. 🧵 Image
It starts with Viktor Vekselberg, a notorious sanctioned "Putin's wallet", otherwise known as the Russian oligarchs tasked by the Kremlin to spread Russian influence (corruption) by making major investments and donations in democratic countries cbsnews.com/sanfrancisco/n…
Vekselberg had the assignment of building a Russian Silicon Valley. He made deals with Silicon Valley companies like Cisco and leading tech institutions like MIT, setting off a warning from the FBI in Boston, a major tech innovation hub especially for defense

🧵Fox News needs to be sued out of existence. Catch up with the latest @gaslitnation to see how Fox News threatens our democracy and national security Image
"Discord Traitor Bro Jack Teixeira's use of the bear vs. pig meme shows that he's staunchly anti-Ukrainian. What likely made him that way? Tucker Carlson and the cult of Trump." - @gaslitnation patreon.com/posts/discord-…
"Tucker Carlson is ultimately behind this leak by poisoning the minds of a sizable percentage of conservatives across the country into thinking that Russia's an ally and inspiring idiots online to invent alternate realities off which they hope to profit."
