I went to @ryangrim’s page to find the tweet AOC quotes here to speculate about who forced the end of PAYGO & if it was the same people being attacked nonstop by an abusive comedian & his fans and...yep.
The House rules don’t get rid of PAYGO completely but clearly erase it for the Green New Deal and probably for M4A in the context of COVID. It’s a very very important step towards progressive legislation & why I argued the left should focus more on procedure than vote on 1 bill.
.@AOC talked about PAYGO on the Intercepted podcast! She was literally working on getting leadership to abolish PAYGO—so legislation like GND & M4A would have a fighting chance—while being attacked by Dore & a lot of the left for being a sellout. theintercept.com/2020/12/16/aoc…
Anyway, RIP Michael Brooks.

1) So the pharmacist who destroyed 500 doses of the covid vaccine is a conspiracy theorist who...wait for it...was radicalized online by rightwing disinformation. You can't tell from this frustrating article, but you search a bit and you find the source. apnews.com/article/wiscon…
2) BBC traces the theory that inspired the man to destroy 500 doses, that the vaccine alters your DNA, to video from osteopath named Carrie Madej. Still no mention of anything else about her aside from the video. bbc.com/news/53525002
3) Fine, I'll google her directly. A few seconds on her Twitter and...yeah, she's RT'ing QAnon freak Lin Wood & claims to be speaking at the coup rally on Jan. 6, the day that most GOP House members & at least 13 GOP senators will try to set fire to our democracy. ImageImage

Just a reminder that this MAGA-brained boy is the head of a 501c3 nonprofit charity called Turning Point USA that is forbidden from participating in elections.
Not only that, but TPUSA's 501c4 nonprofit affiliate, Turning Point Action, owns a group called Students for Trump, which Kirk leads along with fellow Trump sycophant Ryan Fournier. trumpstudents.org/about
Finally, TPUSA exchanges money with Turning Point Action and the Turning Point Endowment, another 501c3 nonprofit charity. Here's $350k from TPAction to TPUSA in 2018-19 fiscal year. Image

Niko House is a conspiracy theorist about: Las Vegas massacre, Bill Cosby’s serial rape, and Pizzagate. huffpost.com/entry/tulsi-ga…
It’s ok though, this whole movement was started by a comedian who is a conspiracy theorist and also a multimillionaire who bought a $2 million home during COVID. Cool stuff. yahoo.com/amphtml/entert…
In addition to House, this guy is also a Tulsi stan, apparently.

SCOOP from @duboo at @EXPOSEDbyCMD:

Who funds The Federalist?

GOP megadonor Richard Uihlein, the billionaire CEO of shipping supply company Uline.

In August 2019, his family foundation gave $400,000 to the @FDRLST Media Foundation. beta.documentcloud.org/documents/2042…
@duboo @EXPOSEDbyCMD @FDRLST You saw it here first! @duboo obtained the 2019 990 tax record from the Ed Uihlein Family Foundation.

Uihlein is the 5th-biggest donor to outside political spending groups this year (at least $62.9 million). opensecrets.org/outsidespendin…
FDRLST Media Foundation got its nonprofit status in March 2019, so we will likely see more donations as other 2019 tax records from rightwing oligarchs come in.

🚨 SCOOP 🚨
DonorsTrust, the "dark money ATM of the conservative movement," gave a whopping $1.5 million to white nationalist hate group VDARE and $10,500 to the nonprofit behind the white nationalist publication American Renaissance in 2019. exposedbycmd.org/2020/12/04/dar…
DonorsTrust is a favorite funding vehicle for billionaire GOP megadonors like Koch, DeVos, and Mercer.

This is the first time, to our knowledge, that DonorsTrust has donated to explicitly white nationalist groups. exposedbycmd.org/2020/12/04/dar…
This is by far the largest donation I've seen from any source to a white nationalist group, period.

DonorsTrust has a history of donations to anti-Muslim, anti-immigrant, & anti-LGBTQ hate groups. exposedbycmd.org/2020/12/04/dar…

If anyone still thinks Pelosi, after rejecting a $1.8 trillion relief bill & losing 14 House seats, is a political mastermind, seek help please.
This is the bill she's now promoting
I and many others have been saying for years that Pelosi is terrible both at her job (if that job is to actually advance the Dem Party and help Americans, but I truly don't know what she thinks her jobs is) and as a person and should never be speaker again, but here we are.
