propaganda works. It works on billionaires in their group chats. It works on CEOs. It works on you. We need comprehensive media reform or this country will not survive.

I'm very sorry for Gerry Connolly as a human ~and~ this is so embarrassing for House Democrats and Nancy Pelosi, who also refuses to retire, who pushed Connolly over AOC for ranking of Oversight for... reasons?
