Massie on Howard Lutnick: "He should just resign. Three people in Great Britain resigned for less than what we've seen Howard Lutnick lie about. He clearly went to the island, if we believe what's in these files. He was in business with Jeffrey Epstein."

These students in Nevada stayed up waiting all night for a full release of the Epstein Files. Rep. Thomas Massie and I will not stop fighting until the rich and powerful men involved face consequences.

MAGAts’ Racism Problem:

BRENNAN: Do you think the president needs to apologize for the video? REP. TONY GONZALES: It's up to the president. There's no room in the country for racism, antisemitism, socialism — all the isms need to go. What no one is talking about is the video was about election integrity.

From the MarKODA Files- Revealed: How Substack makes money from hosting Nazi newsletters

Democracy Docket is not on Substack. From the beginning, I made sure it had its own tech stack. It's more expensive, but it assures independence from corporate interests and that its content won't sit aside Nazis. You can support it by joining truly independent media. hubs.ly/Q03CbHTt0

Exclusive: Site takes a cut of subscriptions to content that promotes far-right ideology, white supremacy and antisemitism

The global publishing platform Substack is generating revenue from newsletters that promote virulent Nazi ideology, white supremacy and antisemitism, a Guardian investigation has found.

The platform, which says it has about 50 million users worldwide, allows members of the public to self-publish articles and charge for premium content. Substack takes about 10% of the revenue the newsletters make. About 5 million people pay for access to newsletters on its platform.

Among them are newsletters that openly promote racist ideology. One, called NatSocToday, which has 2,800 subscribers, charges $80 – about £60 – for an annual subscription, though most of its posts are available for free.

NatSocToday is understood to be run by a far-right activist based in the US and features a swastika, a symbol appropriated by the Nazi party in the 1920s to symbolise white supremacy, as its profile picture. The full name of the Nazi party was the National Socialist German Workers’ party.

The Olympics Have Triggered MAGAts:

Wow. MAGA admits it is rooting AGAINST Team USA because athletes are using their first amendment rights!

This is what Hess said: “It brings up mixed emotions to represent the US right now. I think it’s a little hard. There’s obviously a lot going on that I’m not the biggest fan of. Just because I wear the flag doesn't mean I represent everything that's going on in the US.”
