heads up that The Real News¹ is currently abuzz with the idea that some kind of scandal involving #Israel blackmailing #RFKJr with sex stuff is about to break.

(i have no idea if that's true or not but sometimes where there's smoke there's fire with these guys and even i have been a little taken aback by RFK doing things like declaring anti-semitism a disease / public health emergency)

on a related note i wonder whether "the left" has caught on yet the extent to which Real News purveyors have become ragingly anti-israel in the last year or so, the same way they are anti-ukraine but maybe even more so. none of this is surprising - after all #Putin dislikes both Israel and #Ukraine - but it's starting to cause a real rift in the right.

Musk & Trump will use OMB & his nominee, Russell Vought, to shut off the money to punish groups they don't like.
That includes #USAID, #LGBTQ & #Trans groups, even though Congress has approved their funding.

Here's #Vought describing to #TuckerCarlson how the Office of Management & Budget uses #OMB to "tame" the bureaucracy.

THIS is why #indivisible
@indivisibleteam suggested to people meet with Senators to block the confirmation of Vought.

Remember: Putin wants there to be an election in Ukraine. An election where he could meddle in.

Putin also says Zelensky is illegimate, because there was a coup against his puppet Yanukowich that instantiated him.

Coincidentally, this is exactly what Tucker Carlson has been going on about in public for the last few weeks.

And I bet you MAGA is lapping this shit up. It's just an Americanised version of what Putin wants.

here: No matter what substantive issue I’m engaging on, whether it’s Hungary’s continued dependence upon Vladimir Putin for its energy supply despite intensive efforts to encourage them to diversify or the independence of the judiciary in Hungary, the way that the Hungarian government tries to respond and publicly contextualize our critique is by making it somehow about woke, liberal, Democratic activists. I remember my very first meeting with a senior Hungarian official, a really nice guy, but he began the meeting by saying, Ambassador, I know that you want to speak to us about L.G.B.T.Q. issues and gender ideology. And I actually had to interrupt the guy and say, No, actually, I want to speak to you about your relationship with Vladimir Putin. So I think that the language that they used was to encode the critique in a frame of, “This is L.G.B.T.Q.” — in their words — “ideology infecting our society,” even if what was generating the legitimate political concern didn’t have much to do with L.G.B.T.Q. issues at all.

If you don't remeber or didn't catch it back then:

5y ago Dutch historian Rutger #Bregman called out Tucker #Carlson on being a "Millionaire funded by Billionaires" in a #FoxNews interview. Carlsons response was to start swearing profusely and stop the interview. It was never aired

So satisfying to watch and have something to laugh in the morning #speakingtruthtopower #tuckercarlson #taxtherich #BillionairesShouldNotExist #fcktrmp #TaxBillionaires #rich #comedy
