U.S. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) is lashing out at Twitter owner and CEO Elon Musk after the social media company, she says, suspended her official government account for seven days for posting apparently anti-transgender tweets. At least four of her tweets appear to have been deleted. Rep. Greene appears to have been promoting an unverified claim that “Antifa” and transgender activists are planning a “Trans Day of Vengeance.” Fox News is also claiming there is a “Trans Day of Vengeance,” and a website the report links to says it will be on April 1. “My Congressional account was suspended for 7 days for exposing Antifa, who are organizing a call for violence called ‘Trans Day of Vengeance.’ The day after the mass murder of children by a trans shooter. Restore my account immediately,” Greene demanded, tagging Musk, Twitter Safety, and the head of Twitter Safety, Ella Irwin. There is no evidence that “Antifa” which is not an actual group, has anything to do with the allege...

"Can't live with 'em, can't live without 'em," MSNBC host Nicolle Wallace said showing clips of former President Donald Trump speaking to Fox News host Sean Hannity this week. Court documents in the Dominion lawsuit against Fox, Hannity was revealed to have been among those who tried to fire a fact-checker. "The twice-impeached ex-president who is under a lot of legal scrutiny, as Sean Hannity just said, and Fox News, which is facing a lot of legal scrutiny," said Wallace. Trump, she said, "appeared last night with Sean Hannity, who is an important figure in the $1.6 billion defamation lawsuit. The ex-president, interestingly, went on that network's airwaves and pedaled his bogus and disproven election conspiracies at the heart of that suit. He called the multiple criminal investigations into his actions before, during, and after his presidency an effort at rebranding. We think, Donald Trump is a master of projection. His delusions and ...

Legal experts are responding to bombshell reporting from The Washington Post revealing Ginni Thomas , the spouse of a U.S. Supreme Court Justice, who had unprecedented access to the Trump White House and Oval Office, for years headed a secretive right-wing activist organization funded through a web of dark money groups, whose purpose was to wage a culture war against the left. The Post reports the organization, Crowdsourcers for Culture and Liberty, took in nearly $600,000 in anonymous funds to fuel its efforts to battle “cultural Marxism,” as Ginni Thomas, who headed the group, called their mission. Thomas had stepped away from her previous non-profit right-wing activist group “amid concerns that it created potential conflicts for her husband on hot-button issues before the court,” The Post says, and yet, she led Crowdsourcers for Culture and Liberty, which creates the same concerns. Where is the money coming from? What is the group doing with it? How much crossover is there bet...

T he recent political events in South Africa have brought to light the question of how political leaders continue to pledge allegiance to the ANC despite the party’s numerous wrongdoings.  A classic example is when a parliamentary committee was set up several years ago to investigate the exorbitant cost of building former president Jacob Zuma’s Nkandla residence. Despite the facts, MPs from the ruling ANC party defended the corruption and ignored the evidence. Recently, in his debut appearance during a Q&A session, the newly appointed deputy president, Paul Mashatile, defended the ANC’s decision to protect President Cyril Ramaphosa from scrutiny regarding the Phala Phala saga.  This defence echoes the ANC’s past actions and highlights the party’s disregard for transparency and accountability. How is it that a party that was once viewed as the beacon of hope for democracy in South Africa has fallen so far from grace? To answer this question, we can turn to John Gaventa...
