A Brazilian news outlet is reporting that an on-the-record woman says she traveled with George Santos to the United States in 2011, and that he drained her bank account and pawned her jewelry.

Confirmed. The deal that McCarthy struck with the insurrectionists includes holding America’s economy hostage using the debt ceiling so fascists can cut Medicare and Social Security to the sick and elderly.

This is a vicious cult that not only does not care about human beings, it is aggressively trying to kill us.

Pretty convincing case that only Matt Gaetz is a fit to lead the House GOP.

Of the four GOP US House speakers in modern times… 
Newt Gingrich quit in frustration in ’98
Denny Hastert served 8 years (later convicted of finance and sex crimes)
John Boehner quit in frustration in ’15
Paul Ryan quit in frustration in ’18

This is systemic, not personal.

Nancy Pelosi is masterful at counting votes. Kevin McCarthy clearly sucks at it. Even if he manages to secure the gavel, he will never be a good Speaker!

Matt Gaetz says #KevinMcCarthy should not be allowed to occupy this #HouseSpeaker’s office, because he finished second in three consecutive votes. #Gaetz becomes the first #MAGA Republican to suggest that finishing second means you have lost an election.

Why do we call them “central banks” and not “apex creditors”?

@mattbrown It's an emergent effect that's already happening to some extent - this blog post really goes into why it's so interesting:

I said that Mastodon moderation wouldn't scale, it does. The cultural differences will likely continue to maintain a friendlier atmosphere regardless of size.

That he's only accelerating into the descent while Tesla and his net worth shrink by the second prove that the agenda here is far more nefarious than simple greed.

Elon Musk isn't doing this for fun or money. Something or group of somethings recruited him, gave him the funding, and ordered him to shake up the ant farm. I hope some intrepid journalists are on this beat.
