Trump inherited one of the strongest economies in the world, yet 33% of Americans still think he inherited a disaster. The power of right wing propaganda. #BlueWaveIn90Days
He has been saying this for over two years and NOT A SINGLE CORPORATE JOURNALIST IN AMERICA has gotten him to explain what it means Which makes me wonder how they walk the streets of D.C. looking at anything but their own shoes in disgrace

Roy Cooper said it and he’s right: we need Senators who actually remember young people exist. Rising rent, brutal job hunts, and half of Washington’s still stuck in 1995. We fix that by voting like hell in 90 days. #BlueWaveIn90Days

Yep. Earlier this year I was interviewed by Sharyn Alfonsi of 60 Minutes about my Epstein investigation. Subsequently, CBS pulled the segment and fired the reporter. The MAGA buyout of media is aiding the Trump administration’s Epstein cover up.
The New Republic@newrepublic.com · 2d agoBanks permitted millions in suspicious transactions tied to Epstein—and former 60 Minutes correspondent Sharyn Alfonsi had the story months ago. But the report would never air. trib.al/ZShZlIS
It’s official: @abdulelsayed.bsky.social wins the Democratic Primary for Senate! The People Prevail Over Corporate Profits Once Again!
#GA Did you know that Jon Ossoff spent years exposing corruption as an investigative journalist? Now in the Senate, he refuses corporate PAC money & is leading the fight to ban stock trading by members of Congress. When you don't take checks from special interests, you're free to work for families.
“CBS News reports that Pirro actually carried a box of evidence to the White House showing that the facts simply didn’t support those prosecutions. The meeting got “heated,” per CBS, seemingly meaning Trump wanted prosecutions in spite of what the facts and the law dictated.”

When billionaires conspire with fascists to capture media outlets, the impact on journalism isn't always obvious. In this case, we know about a story that CBS killed. In many cases, we never find out what they don't want us to know.
60 Minutes Quietly Killed Story About Epstein’s Shady Banking Tactics
Senator Ron Wyden sat for an interview with correspondent Sharyn Alfonsi about Jeffrey Epstein’s bank transactions. Alfonsi was fired for other reasons shortly after, and the story never aired.
