I’m sick and tired of hearing this lie peddled by the GOP and corporate media. Raising the debt ceiling does not increase spending or the federal debt. It simply allows the government to pay bills it has already taken on— and defaulting on the debt would be catastrophic.

@w7voa As Elon Musk uses Twitter Files to try to show Twitter favored the left, it turns out Twitter let the leader of the MAGA Republican Party tweet without moderation, spread the Big Lie and entice his followers to fight for him on Jan 6.

@DidiQ @DavMicRot I know it’s convenient for everybody but why do we and the media continue to call them Republicans? Aren’t they a totally different party now ? Shouldn’t it be the American Facist Party wouldn’t that be more accurate?

January 6 committee found that Twitter and other social media companies gave Republicans preferential treatment on social media out of fear of criticism/reprisal. https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2023/01/17/jan6-committee-report-social-media/

What the Jan. 6 probe found out about social media, but didn’t report

The Jan. 6 committee's 845-page report offered few details of social media's role in the Capitol riot. Transcripts and an unreleased memo shows the committee knew more.

Pretty great news on inflation this morning. Hard to see need for further Fed rate hikes. Also, real wages have been rising rapidly since June
