#Dominion: will one Canadian company bring down Trump's disinformation?

They filed a $1.6bn defamation suit against #Murdoch’s #FoxNews, accusing it of trying to boost ratings by amplifying LIES.

“The truth matters,” Dominion’s lawyers wrote

#MOG theguardian.com/us-news/2021/a…
“Lies have consequences”

#Fox sold a false story of election fraud in order to serve its own commercial purposes, severely injuring Dominion in the process. If this case does not rise to the level of defamation by a broadcaster, then nothing does.

#MOG
“Radioactive falsehoods” spread by #FoxNews will cost #DominionVotingSystems $600m over the next eight years, according to the lawsuit, and have resulted in Dominion employees being harassed and the company losing major contracts in Georgia and Louisiana.

#MOG
“Dominion has an outstanding prospect in its litigation against Fox for the simple reason that Fox knowingly broadcast over and over again the most outrageous and clear lies”

“A major television outlet that is a megaphone for outrageous falsehoods about the election”

REPUBLICAN LIE EXPOSED TO BE FALSE

Corporate Rate Increase Would Make Taxes Fairer, Help Fund Equitable Recovery

Report Shows Raising Taxes On Corporations Will NOT Slow Recovery

#GOPCorruption

#MOG
cbpp.org/research/feder…
1) Raising taxes on corporations would make the tax code more progressive while helping to generate the revenue needed to help finance investments that would promote an equitable recovery

#MOG
2) The dramatic corporate tax cuts of 2017 provided few benefits to the economy in general and to low- and middle-income households

3) Raising corporate taxes by a modest amount will not undermine the economic recovery and, in fact... make the economy stronger

Why aren't we calling the Capitol attack an act of TREASON?

That was treason according to the founding fathers, #Larson wrote

But in the three months since 6 January, however, there has been little public discussion of “treason”

#CapitolCoup

#MOG theguardian.com/us-news/2021/a…
WHY NOT TREASON?

Federal prosecutors have brought cases against +300 people allegedly involved in the Capitol insurrection.

So far, many of the rioters have been charged with lower-level offenses, like “disorderly and disruptive conduct...

WHY?

#MO
TREASON is defined in the US constitution as “levying war” against the United States, or “adhering” to the enemies of the #US and “giving them aid and comfort”.

The framers had in mind “men gathering with guns, forming an army, and marching on the seat of government”

Biden Steps Up Federal Efforts to Combat Domestic Extremism

The administration has taken a series of steps to prioritize dealing with white supremacists and militias, especially after the Capitol riot on Jan. 6.

#MOG
nytimes.com/2021/04/04/us/…
The Homeland Security Department has begun a review of how it handles domestic extremism.

For the first time this year, the department designated domestic extremism as a “national priority area,” requiring that 7.5 percent of the billions in grant funds be spent on combating it.
Biden bolstered a team focusing on domestic extremism at the National Security Council that had been depleted in the past four years, assigning officials from the Justice Department, the F.B.I. and the National Counterterrorism Center,

Demands for refunds spiked. Complaints to banks and credit card companies soared.

A 63-year-old battling cancer from #Kansas making less than $1,000 per month donated $500

That single contribution — federal records show it was his first ever — quickly multiplied.

Another $500 was withdrawn the next day, then $500 the next week and every week through October
Payments kept passing Until Mr. Blatt’s bank account had been depleted and frozen.
