🔥BREAKING: Media Matters is on the brink of collapse.

After two decades of smearing conservatives, the Soros-funded attack dog is under siege—from lawsuits by @elonmusk, FTC probes, & state AG investigations. Why? Donor fraud, defamation, & LYING to destroy Twitter.

Thread🧵 Image
@elonmusk 2/ Media Matters, founded by David Brock in 2003, has spent 20 years using dark money, fake “fact checks,” advertiser boycotts, and weaponized media hit jobs to cancel anyone the Democrats hate.

Now they’re drowning in $15 million in legal bills—and may have to shut down. Image
@elonmusk 3/ They’ve cut staff. They’ve begged donors. They tried to settle with Musk.

But the lawsuits won’t stop. Because they're guilty. And now they're caught.

Their donors—like Soros and Susie Tompkins Buell—are suddenly MIA.

One ally said: “Maybe it’s time to shut it down.” Image
Image
@elonmusk 4/ How did this happen?

In Nov 2023, Media Matters manipulated X’s algorithm to show ads next to Nazi content.

It caused a massive $75M advertiser exodus from X. And it was all a lie.

Musk sued for defamation—and then came the avalanche. Image
@elonmusk 5/ Musk: “We will pursue not just the organization, but anyone funding that organization.”

Since then:
— Musk filed suits in multiple countries
— Trump’s FTC launched an investigation
— GOP AGs Paxton (TX) and Bailey (MO) opened probes
— Donors spooked
— Staff revolted
@elonmusk 6/ Even their law firm bailed.

Elias Law Group, Dems' go-to legal firm, demanded $4M in unpaid fees.

Media Matters was stunned. “This is how you treat people who have been clients for 16 years and are friends?”

But do Democrats really have friends? Image
@elonmusk 7/ Media Matters tried to settle with Musk.

X demanded:

— A full retraction
— Every penny left in MM’s bank account
— Shut down permanently

MM offered a “methodology explainer” and a donation to a charity.

No deal. Not a chance. Image
@elonmusk 8/ Now they’re under federal investigation again.

The FTC is probing whether Media Matters illegally colluded with other “watchdog” groups to blackball X from advertisers.

Remember: These people weaponized “misinformation” to crush dissent. Now they’re in the crosshairs. Image
@elonmusk 9/ This is BIG. It means the FTC might go after everyone involved for antitrust: "conspiracy in restraint of trade".

That's a BIG felony. People could go to prison. And not just at Media Matters: at the giant advertisers too. Like Disney. Image
@elonmusk 10/ Democrats built a censorship-industrial complex powered by fake nonprofits like Media Matters and GARM. Under Biden they weaponized government to enforce it.

Now it’s collapsing—under legal scrutiny and financial ruin.

You can thank Trump, Musk, and all seven swing states. Image
@elonmusk 11/ Media Matters wanted to cancel YOU.

They spent two decades silencing speech, smearing patriots, and rigging the media.

Now, for the first time ever… they’re losing.

Stay loud. Stay fighting. And follow @RodDMartin for the takedown they never saw coming.🔥 Image

🚨 BREAKING: Trump Hits Canada With 35% Tariffs

They wouldn't negotiate in good faith, so Trump just raised their tariffs, over fentanyl, trade cheating, and failure to act like a real ally.

And if they try to sneak goods through? The penalty jumps to 40%.

🧵 Thread: Image
2/ THE NEW DEAL:

📦 Goods rerouted to cheat? Tariffs jump to 40%
🧱 Sectoral tariffs stay—50% on aluminum, copper, and steel

Canada has refused to budge on key points like dairy (280%!), eggs, or non-tariff trade barriers

Trump said ENOUGH. Image
3/ Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick:

“Canada is the only country besides China retaliating against the U.S.”

And just days ago, Carney announced plans to recognize a Palestinian state.

Tone-deaf. And proof Canada is no longer acting like an ally. Image

🚨 BOMBSHELL: The FBI actually HID thousands of Trump-Russia documents in a secret room

@Kash_Patel just revealed the FBI buried a classified annex to the Durham report—and thousands of other files—in a back room no one knew existed.

This was a cover-up.

🧵 THREAD: Image
2/ FBI Director Kash Patel says he found the annex to the Durham report buried in a locked room at FBI HQ—alongside thousands of never-seen documents and hard drives.

The material directly ties to:

Crossfire Hurricane
Durham’s 2023 findings
The Clinton campaign

All HIDDENImage
@Kash_Patel 3/ Let’s be clear: These weren’t just overlooked files.

Patel says James Comey and others intentionally hid the room, locked it, and concealed its access.

His words: “No one’s ever gonna find this place.”

They lied to Congress, the courts, and the American people. Image

🚨 BREAKING: Trump Gives Big Pharma 60 Days to Cut Prices or Face Consequences

Americans pay 800% more for some prescription drugs than Europeans.

Trump just told 17 major drug companies: Slash prices—or I’ll make you.

And he’s not bluffing.

🧵 THREAD: Image
2/ Trump sent identical letters to 17 pharmaceutical giants—Pfizer, Moderna, Eli Lilly, AstraZeneca, and more.

He gave them 60 days to implement Most Favored Nation pricing:

🇺🇸 If France pays $67 for insulin, Americans pay $67.

Or else. Image
3/ Critics deride this as price controls. But that's not what Trump's doing.

Currently, Americans pay nearly all of the R&D cost. That's why prices are higher here. Other countries' socialized medicine schemes won't pay.

If someone doesn't pay, there will be no new drugs. Image

🚨 BREAKING: Trump just cut a massive trade + oil deal with Pakistan—a nuclear-armed nation of 280 million, semi-allied with China.

➡️ Pakistan avoids new U.S. tariffs
➡️ America counters China
➡️ Peace advances between Pakistan & India

Here’s why this is huge 🧵 Image
2/ Trump’s deal:

🇵🇰 U.S. develops Pakistani oil reserves, greatly improving its economy
🇺🇸 U.S. reduces reciprocal tariffs on Pakistani goods
💥 Pakistan fully opens its market to U.S. goods for the first time

rodmartin.org/p/commerce-not…
3/ Pakistan is no small player:

➤ 280 million people
➤ Nuclear arsenal
➤ Borders Afghanistan (42M), Iran (92M), & India (1.45 BILLION).
➤ Strategic partner of China
➤ Key fentanyl corridor

Trump just flipped them into a potential ally Image

🚨 BREAKING: FBI Director Kash Patel just found THOUSANDS of Trump–Russia probe documents HIDDEN in "burn bags" in a secret FBI SCIF.

They were trying to DESTROY them.

Now they're going to Congress.

This is the final unraveling of the Deep State’s biggest hoax. 🧵 Image
Image
2/ Patel — the man who helped expose the Steele Dossier and FISA abuse — discovered a secret vault in FBI HQ packed with hard drives and "burn bags" of documents.

James Comey and his allies intentionally hid the room.

This was Watergate on steroids. Image
3/ One of the documents?

The classified annex to John Durham’s final report.

It contains the underlying intel Durham reviewed — including foreign sources warning that the FBI would spread the Trump–Russia lie…

Before Crossfire Hurricane even launched. Image

🚨BREAKING: Kamala Harris just ruled out running for California governor.

Translation? She’s focusing on running for a third shot at the presidency.

Because losing twice wasn’t enough. 🤣🤣🤡

🧵 Image
2/ In a statement this morning, Harris confirmed she will not run for governor in 2026:

“I’ve decided that I will not run... I love this state… but my leadership will not be in elected office.”

Uh, okay...

But that’s not the whole story.Image
3/ Kamala’s decision wasn’t about California.

It’s about 2028.

She’s not done with national politics. She’s just regrouping after back-to-back humiliations.

2020: Dropped out before Iowa.
2024: Crushed by a man who wasn't even supposed to run.

Now? She wants another shot. Image
