“The choice facing the nation this November is much older and deeper than Trump. A determined minority has been trying to shape the foundations of American governance for their own benefit since the inception of the republic. ...

Mother Jones is insanely good journalism, and dirt cheap at around $20/yr. That's for the PRINT version which gets mailed to my house!

#MotherJonesMagazine did the work of Fed Election Commission #FEC by researching top donors to the 2020 campaign for #GeorgeSantos. Everyone's focused on the 2022 campaign, but he's been grifting for years and no one ever bothered to check. https://www.motherjones.com/politics/2023/01/we-tried-to-call-the-top-donors-to-george-santos-2020-campaign-many-dont-seem-to-exist/
