Last thing I'm going to say on this:
Consider that by pointing this out, we are holding MSM press to their own standards. Which is so critical in helping to shore up our free press, which is under a direct assault by a hostile foreign state & the White House.
Here's why... /1
2/ There are time/date stamps on what we put out. This is easily discovered via basic Twitter searches. To everyone. And we have considerable followings now. So, folks know - or can easily discover - where & when certain stories first broke. It looks REALLY BAD at this point...
3/ To NOT give credit - or at least acknowledge that there was prior information "out there" in the public domain. Good Lord.
No one who has been committing the time/energy to research, analyze, & then publicly share findings is doing it 4 fame (well, ok. maybe @ScottMStedman).
4/ Folks are doing this work b/c we are f*cking terrified for our nation. The embrace & elevation of the work is the entire goal. SPREAD THE NEWS.
But don't do it in a way where you're discrediting yourselves. B/c folks can discover that your "scoops" are not your own. GET IT?
5/ Further, lifting work w/o acknowledgement from those like Patrick, @traciemac_Bmore, & @ZevShalev - who ALL DONATE their time/energy to make calls on stories & have their own sources, is the wrong approach to good journalism.
And we need good journalism. Now more than ever.
6/ Lastly, before you jump on here & claim that I'm part of some republican conspiracy to attack journalism, do what I'm begging everyone to do - esp. journalists.
A little diligence.
Search my TL for #GoodJournalism.
And keep your eye out for a new project to be launched. ❤️
7/ One last clarification. @maddow is #GoodJournalism.
It was her guest who slipped up.

Some Far Right extreme reversals that Sept-Oct 2018 brought to the world:
1. Liberals went from "snowflakes" to a dangerous "mob" - requiring Rand Paul's wife to keep a gun by her bed.
2. Alt-Right went from "Gorilla Mindset" alphas to men who need their mommies to defend them.
3. Nazis went from despising "Chad" (their term for whiny, silver spoon, prep school boys who succeed from privilege) to embracing King Chad of Chadlandia, Kavanaugh.
4. @LindseyGrahamSC screeched & clutched his pearls, & thinks he found his balls.
Wait... he's always done that.
5. Lastly, the total abandonment of Taylor Swift by the White Supremacists who've had her back since Kanye stormed the stage & stole her moment 9 years ago.
Oh, & unrelated to Swift's pro-Dem vote stance, the Nazis now embrace... Kanye West.
Perfection.

When you have eyes directly on the RU-backed propaganda machine, you can predict that which seems unpredictable at the time.
I watched them weaponize this organic movement.
The emotional terrorism inflicted on our nation by @GOP around Dr. Ford/ Kavanaugh was inevitable. /1
2/ For new followers, and many older ones, there may still be some confusion over the seemingly disparate subjects covered by this twitter account.
They are not separate topics.
They are all related, because I'm metaphorically standing in the money pot underneath it all.
3/ If you stand there with me and look up, here is what you'll see:
- The Alt-Right media machine. Coordinating with both conservative PR firms (many of which are registered foreign agents in the FARA database), and Hill Staffers.

Every single one of Fred Trump's territories was controlled by the Genovese.
Watch this, then keep reading down this thread. I'm gonna show you something.

2/ This is Sammy "The Bull" Gravano's testimony for the @SDNYnews, detailing trade union mafia corruption.
HRH Construction was Fred's - and then Donald's builder.

Here is how @SenateDems @DNC @HouseDemocrats need to fight:
1. Expose how PR firms & Senate Staff coordinate money and messaging.
2. Expose dirty tricksters who both create and capitalize on #1 above. Especially Chuck Johnson. Expose that shitbird like there's no tomorrow.
3 ...
3. EXPOSE MARK JUDGE's HISTORY W/ CHUCK JOHNSON & "dopple-gate" crew. Track that sh*t from Alt-Right players & Barbara Ledeen, spittled out of Hatch ("mixed up") before Ed Whelan got his thread out (oops), & ending w/@SenatorCollins. It's not a complex web. It's a straight-line.
4. Demand investigations of all THREE above for their role in Dr. Ford's email hack, death threats, and leaks to "journalists" about her name and address. She testified they were on her lawn before any reporting was public about her name & was genuinely confused how.

Some tunes from my DM music angel.
It's not that I don't have moments of despair.
It's that I let those moments wash over me, using music, poetry, art, love, and laughter where I can find it - to get me to the other side.

More recklessness in Kavanaugh's financials.
He spotted taking his Georgetown crew on AZ trip. He cannot afford this risk.
Kav's friendship circle has remained tight for 30+ yrs. And Kavanaugh routinely put currying favor w/them OVER the welfare of his household.
#ShittyProvider
@ninaandtito made spreadsheets of Kavanaugh's financials from his disclosures. These numbers are coming from him.
This is what MSM press AND THE SENATE should have done. They failed.
#ShittyProvider
Kavanaugh's reckless financial history makes him a prime target for outside influence. Indeed, in 2017 - just before his formal nomination, an unnamed source cleared all his debt. Exactly who did this has yet to be investigated.
