at this moment I find myself torn beyond repair. I have to say that I can no longer do any content for @TYTPolitics or @TYT I love the followers of these platforms as they represent the real left and see the world just as I do, even more than most of my family. But at this moment my soul is telling me that I can not continue this relationship and it hurts because I love some folk over there, @SharonReedLive, @Rashad_Richey and others. The left deserves an unmetered vanguard in this moment and it seems that acceptability is more important than our fierce fight. Since the election I have watched our side minimized the threat of the dangerous right. I can not watch that happen. A check is not enough...

interesting how media shakeups happen around this time yearly contracts start expiring. remember last year Candace Owens was feigning anti-zionism and Crowder was taking on BIG CON the year prior. wonder if these sorts of career concerns ever influence lefty media behavior
It’s true. I’m leaving the Daily Wire. Here’s what you should know:

"This is the first time @FTC has ever sought to block a merger not just because it's gonna be bad for consumers, but also for workers." @linakhanFTC and @hasanthehun discuss how the FTC's win today blocking the Kroger-Albertsons merger will protect worker bargaining power.🔥🔥

Posting on Facebook, which the company that employed me required me to do, is not the same as that media company selling its naming rights to a crypto betting site. That's just... becoming "corporate media." Still no response to @SamSeder's offer to come on for a conversation.
LOL, so no one is allowed to criticize Cenk Uygur & Ana Kasparian for taking Polymarket money, because when @EmmaVigeland used to work at TYT, she posted videos on Facebook? 😂 How is this a real response

Bruh Pete Buttigieg is currently in a public dispute with the CEO of Delta because of consumer protections he put in place while Cenk is begging for a job from Elon Musk on Twitter and expressing relief at Trump’s victory. What a loser.
Cenk Uygur compares @SamSeder to grifters Dave Rubin and Jimmy Dore (more projection), then says Seder and @EmmaVigeland will support a "corporatist prick" like Pete Buttigieg in the next Dem primary... (Cenk proudly and vocally supported RICK CARUSO in LA like a year ago btw).

To be fair, some of it probably also went to hiring a union busting law firm.
Hell yeah let's get into it. How much of TYT's membership dues have gone toward returning this guy's investment instead of to the TYT employees who have better politics than the main hosts?

Maybe Dr. Oz owning $550,000 in UnitedHealth stock and seeking to run the agency that oversees UnitedHealth's biggest cash cow (Medicare Advantage) should get more attention warren.senate.gov/imo/media/…

This is an important thread debunking @ezraklein’s obviously incorrect take on the politics of student debt. @BharatRamamurti sells this short— we’ve polled this extensively. Debt relief remained popular through years of right-wing attacks. Especially with younger Republicans.
Replying to @BharatRamamurti
The Biden student debt relief plan was not unpopular. Surveys showed it had majority support or at least plurality support. And at least some portion of the opposition came from people who thought it didn’t go far enough. Here’s a useful summary. 2/ brookings.edu/articles/do-am…

The FTC under Lina Khan has done things to help NORMAL people and prevent them from getting SCREWED over. Most people don't hear about this stuff, so here are some of the biggest wins and actions 🧵

I helped start the union at TYT to try to get health insurance and paid days off. My co-workers shared my opinion that full-time video editing work should come w/ benefits. Cenk didn't agree. I'd love to know what Ana thinks Emma is being dishonest about.

On the stream with @hasanthehun, FTC Chair @linakhanFTC talks about blocking mergers not just because they’re bad for consumers, but also when they’re bad for workers. Trump moved to replace her today

This is legitimately sad and pathetic. But the fish rots from the head and that's always been the issue with TYT. Abandoning progressivism in this moment will be seen as a colossal error in a few years. I feel so bad for @EmmaVigeland and @SamSeder

It's an investment. And it's pretty clear that this one has been worth it (and then some) for Musk, given how he's now arguably obtained more control over the national conversation than any other private citizen in American history.
Fun fact: by buying it at $44 billion and cutting the value to maybe a fourth of that, Musk has effectively been losing about $45 million a day on Twitter

Trump has just nominated several sex offenders for cabinet positions. Now here’s three articles about why Democrats need to stop saying Latinx.

Dear Liberals: For the love of god find someone other than the Cheneys and John Bolton to tout, platform, and promote. Please actually learn something from the election.
John Bolton on Tulsi Gabbard: "I thought it was the worst cabinet-level appointment in history until I heard about the Matt Gaetz appointment."

Elon Musk spent at least $130 million to elect Trump, despite $3300 being the maximum an individual can legally donate. He increases his wealth by $333 million each day. But tell me again how taxing billionaires and campaign finance reform are “radical,” “far-Left,” policies.
