🚨NEW:
@LeverNews
is launching a new podcast series exposing the 50-year plot to legalize corruption.
It’s a wild untold story we’ve unearthed after a year of investigation.
LISTEN HERE 👇
Sometimes I think about how any rich person who has $10 million can put it into a savings account & make $400K-$500K a year of interest doing nothing & yet American politics is organized around portraying poor people as lazy & making their lives as difficult as possible.
A literal mushroom cloud of toxic chemicals detonated over the American heartland, after lobbyists and government officials weakened safety rules.
Just curious: Did any of the Sunday news shows bother to even mention this?
Truly wild how the Democrats' most popular president in American history helped the working class and was elected to four straight presidential terms and then the modern version of his party decided it was savvy political strategy to never again do anything that he did.
🚨NEW: While secretly accepting undisclosed billionaire gifts, Clarence Thomas pushed to kill all political spending disclosure laws in America, insisting that billionaires have a right to anonymously influence public officials.
Pete Buttigieg runs the agency that is literally the regulator of the railroads. He has the power to just ignore the protests of lobbyists & enact better safety rules. Him publicly begging rail CEOs to stop being mean is designed to pretend he can’t do anything, even tho he can.
Transportation Sec. Pete Buttigieg: ‘Norfolk Southern and the other freight rail companies need to stop fighting us every time we try to do a regulation … What we’ve seen is the industry goes to Washington, and they get their way’
It’s interesting how every election year the national media obsessively focuses on the swing-state politics of Ohio, but then when there’s a mushroom cloud of carcinogens detonated over Ohio, the same national media barely even mentions it.
“Canceling student debt would create an unacceptable moral hazard,” said the self-described libertarian Silicon Valley VC who put $200 million into a savings account, did no risk management at all and then got a bailout
It’s almost as if a society that provides no social safety net and public health infrastructure ends up becoming a dystopia where lots of people prematurely die.

That is because The New York Times has become, for all intents and purposes, an unregistered lobbying firm for far left politicians
Liberals Are Not Laughing About Jon Stewart’s Jabs at Joe Biden
Democrats who only remember the 'Daily Show' host as a fierce critic of conservatives had a rude awakening on his return to the program.
More:
2. Where were regulators ? They are supposed to watch and warn. 3. Can't wait to see how many people yanked their money, told others to, and shorted the stock. 4. Will the number of emps that aren't paid this week lead to a multiple of that number not being paid in 2 weeks ?
🚨INVESTIGATION: Clarence Thomas reversed his position on a landmark legal doctrine after he received billionaire gifts & his wife received cash from the conservative legal network pushing for the change.
The same doctrine is now headed back to the court.
pretty wild that a president can wake up one morning and decide on a whim to ignore Congress and start World War III, but the minimum wage allegedly can’t be increased because of a parliamentarian
The Democratic Party’s most popular president in history publicly declared that he wanted rich people to hate him, and threatened to pack the court in order to enact legislation that helped workers.
It’s almost as if there’s a lesson there.
Lately, I don’t have much to say.
I spent 25 years reporting on what was happening, trying to warn about it & liberals told me to shut up because the truth indicts the Dem politicians they worship.
So now everything I tried to warn about is here.
So I don’t have much to say.
🚨NEW: The pundits & think tank scholars defending Clarence Thomas & his billionaire benefactor have their own financial ties to the same billionaire.
Some of their groups linked to that billionaire have been filing amicus briefs in cases Thomas rules on.
sorta funny that Americans scoff at the French as if they are weak & soft, but when France even whispers about pension cuts the population immediately threatens to dust off the guillotines, meanwhile Americans get endlessly kicked in the face by the rich for decades & do nothing
Pete Buttigieg has refused to reinstate and expand Obama-enacted, Trump-repealed rail safety rules, and yet liberals think their response to a mushroom cloud of carcinogens in Ohio should be to defend Pete — rather than demand he do his job. It’s grotesque.
The fact that Republicans are relentlessly attacking the Secretary of Transportation, Pete Buttigieg, over a random train derailment in Ohio, tells me ONLY one thing.
They fear Mayor Pete's political future.
He will be president one day and Republicans know it!
Look, I’m a capitalist.
I have no problem with companies making reasonable profits.
But not absurd levels on the backs of working families and seniors – it's about basic fairness.
This is very clearly a campaign by Democratic operatives and their liberal sycophants to try to intimidate Stewart into silence and compliance. The guy politely mentioned things that are wildly obvious and indisputable to literally anyone with a functioning brain stem.
🚨BREAKING NEWS: Documents obtained by
@LeverNews
show that a Trump-appointed judge’s anti-abortion ruling yesterday followed payments to his wife from the anti-abortion group leading the case.
The ruling limits women’s access to mifepristone.
Chemical lobbyists got Obama officials to exempt the Ohio train from the “high-hazard flammable train” classification & its tough safety regs.
Rail lobbyists then got Trump to repeal a rule to force rail giants to start using better brakes.
Retweet 👇
🚨NEWS: Fox News says it can claim a tax write-off for its defamation settlement with Dominion.
The deduction would lower the company’s tax rate, effectively forcing taxpayers to provide up to a $200 million subsidy to the company for its election lies.
If Liz Cheney has convinced you that only now is democracy under attack, wait till you find out about her dad stealing a national election by getting 5 unelected judges to halt the counting of votes.
🚨NEWS: Documents show Justice Roberts & Justice Alito own shares in 19 companies that could get $30 BILLION in tax relief if the Supreme Court issues a broad ruling in favor of those companies in the upcoming term’s landmark tax case.
🚨NEWS: The Supreme Court could soon consider a case that could outlaw all rent control laws in America.
The case is being pushed by groups linked to billionaires who have delivered gifts to some of the conservative justices on the Supreme Court.
REPORTER: Is this unfair to people who paid their student loans or chose not to take out loans?
BIDEN: Is it fair to people who, in fact, do not own multi-billion-dollar businesses if they see one of these guys getting all the tax breaks? Is that fair? What do you think?
🚨BREAKING: After Ohio derailment,
@SecretaryPete
has no plans to reinstate Obama's brake rule, despite a warning to Congress that without it “there will be more derailments.”
Buttigieg's DOT is now considering a proposal that may weaken safety rules.
“I’m literally a billionaire who pays no taxes and says we must cut welfare for poors but now I’m insisting the government must pay me 100 cents on the dollar for all my bets” is a helluva drug
The most disturbing set of data on America that I have encountered in a long time. This transcends politics.
This is especially scary remembering that demographics were the best early warning on the collapse of the USSR. …
🚨NEWS: Biden's DOJ is siding with Norfolk Southern in a Supreme Court case that could block lawsuits against the company.
The lawsuit is brought by a cancer-stricken former rail worker who says he was poisoned on the job.
SCOTUS decision expected soon.
When Republicans do bad things, MSNBC does 24-7 coverage & Fox omits any mention of it.
When Dems do bad things, Fox does 24-7 coverage & MSNBC omits any mention of it.
The democracy crisis is a media that suppresses info based on partisan motive.
🚨NEWS: JD Vance quietly helped chemical industry lobbyists weaken his rail safety bill.
He amended his bill to delay requirements for stronger tank cars carrying chemicals.
He’s one of the Senate’s biggest recipients of chemical industry campaign cash.
The thing is,
@mehdirhasan
has been one of the only people in cable TV news who has been willing to report critically on both parties. Canceling him is another step in the deliberate homogenization of news content into pure red-vs-blue infotainment.
The rescue of SVB depositors is a reminder that the government can do big things very quickly when it wants to.
So when it doesn’t do big things that are necessary or does them slowly, that’s not some accident. It’s a conscious choice.
Wait, wait…Instead of appointing the longtime Democratic congresswoman from one of the state’s largest cities, California’s governor instead appointed a fundraiser living in Maryland who traded in their union credential to help Uber bust unions?
Did I get this right?
🚨NEW INVESTIGATION: While bailing out Silicon Valley Bank's wealthy clients, federal regulators quietly refused to guarantee the bank's financial commitments to low-income communities.
The decision could now kill major affordable housing projects.
BREAKING: A Union Pacific train has derailed after hitting a truck in the Houston, Texas area. Some hazardous materials were being carried by this train.
Note to Republicans.: This one isn't Pete Buttigieg's fault either.
🚨NEWS: Nancy Pelosi blocked Medicare for All and other major health care reforms - and now received a big award from health care industry lobbyists at a gala last night.
@LeverNews
was barred from the award ceremony when we tried to report on it.
Biden broke rail workers’ strike, detonated a climate bomb, helped drug giants keep charging cancer victims $180,000 for a government-developed medicine — all while he bailed out Silicon Valley elites.
Now his poll numbers are plummeting.
Nobody coulda predicted…
If you’re so weak that you can’t overcome, circumnavigate or legislatively defeat one corrupt small-state senator from your own party, then maybe you’re very bad at the job of being president.
A reader reminded me that a few days after Bernie Sanders won the New Hampshire primary, the newspaper owned by Jeff Bezos published a piece with this headline
The biggest "democracy crisis" isn't a one-day riot on 1/6, it's 40 years of politicians being bankrolled by donors and refusing to do things that more than 80% of the public wants.
it's Veep-episode-worthy that Pete Buttigieg was put into the Transportation Secretary job not because he had any qualifications for the job, but because he was thought to be extremely good at politics, and now this is him doing politics
The average PPP loan to business was $109,000 and was forgiven with zero controversy.
Biden is now forgiving $20,000 of student loans and the “PPP is cool” crowd is pretending it’s a scandal.
I think it’s really something that elected Left Leaders will eagerly be interviewed by corporate Democrat hosts who created the neoliberalism that destroyed the left, but rarely ever accept interview requests from actual left outlets that might ask real questions
NEWS: Documents show that before this week's travel disaster, state officials of both parties warned
@SecretaryPete
about the mess, begging him to crack down.
He responded by going on national TV to insist travel "is going to get better by the holidays.”
Find yourself a Democratic Party establishment that fights as hard for reproductive rights as it fought to crush Bernie Sanders’ presidential campaigns.
“Our president has no power to do anything, but we must prevent the other party from winning the presidency because then they’ll have the power to do everything they want”
🚨NEW DOCUMENTS: Chemical companies knew the human health dangers of their products in nonstick pans, waterproof clothes & other retail goods - but hid those facts from the public as the cancer-causing toxins became ubiquitous in the water, air, and soil.
If you ever wonder why labor has so little power to influence Dem politicians & why those politicians take union support for granted, consider that labor leaders just delivered history’s earliest endorsement to a presidential candidate who literally just broke a union strike.
🚨 BIG NEWS: Biden is enacting a record-breaking Medicare premium increase — and then funneling the new revenues to his health insurance industry donors, even as they’re already making record profits.
🚨INVESTIGATION: Clarence Thomas twice voted to end tenant protections that his billionaire benefactor’s company says threatened its profits, according to documents reviewed by
@LeverNews
.
Thomas could now rule on rent control also cited by the company.
The Sunday shows didn’t even mention the unfolding disaster in Ohio.
MSNBC, CNN & other news stations have refused to covered the political backstory.
Biden &
@SecretaryPete
— the chief regulator of railroads! — havent even mentioned it.
Totally insane.
🚨NEWS: The company that chartered the ship that destroyed the Key Bridge was just sanctioned by regulators for silencing whistleblowers raising safety concerns.
Maersk’s policy violated the law, according to federal documents reviewed by
@LeverNews
.
quick reminder that literally not a single human being would pay any money to watch a movie/TV show written and acted by Bob Iger, which means the resources that pay his entire zillion dollar salary are generated by writers and actors, not by him
A very good point that Democratic elites don’t ever understand:
Doing nothing and pretending you have no power is often both bad policy AND bad politics.
🚨INVESTIGATION: Ron DeSantis oversaw funneling $1 billion of workers’ savings to Wall Street firms whose execs poured cash into a GOP group boosting his campaign, despite a pay-to-play rule.
The shift hurt pensioners’ returns while enriching the donors.
really wild that 2 years ago, pundits vilified progressives for suggesting that inflation was driven by corporate profits, and now there's so much evidence that's true that even the WSJ is admitting it
Gonna be wild when Democrats don’t end the filibuster and pass their agenda for fear of what Republicans would do in the majority without the filibuster — and then Republicans take power and end the filibuster anyway and do whatever they want.
Democrats didn't insert their promised $15 minimum wage or public health insurance option into the debt deal.
They inserted a massive fossil fuel pipeline into the deal, after the pipeline company became one of
@SenSchumer
's top donors.
