They’re aiming to use public employees’ retirement money and your tax money to boost the price of Bitcoin — and then when a collapse happens, your money will be used to bail out the 2% of wallets that own 90% of Bitcoin. https://www.levernews.com/the-dark-money-plan-to-spend-your-tax-dollars-on-bitcoin/

Podcasts I’ve come to absolutely love:
Search Engine
99% Invisible
Marketplace/Make Me Smart
Tech Won’t Save Us
Throughline
The quality of these shows is proof of how much work their creators put in. They stand out from other podcasts in how they don’t take the easy path of cheap and banal hot takes off the news. I learn something every time I listen to their new episodes.
They also inspire me to do better and be more creative in my own journalism work.

Jimmy Carter was the one ex-president in the modern era to openly admit (and lament) the truth about what America has become in the post-Citizens United era.
The national press corps probably won’t mention this, but it was really something. He was a real one. RIP.

Health insurance companies use a system of legalized bribery to make sure Americans get fleeced anytime we need medical care.
It’s all part of the MASTER PLAN that @levernews documents in our new audio series.

The widespread rage against health insurance companies that we're seeing this week is a reminder that it coulda been harnessed by Dems in the 2024 campaign, but they deliberately avoided the issue, which appeased their donors & lost them the election. https://www.levernews.com/how-harris-left-medicare-for-all-behind/

Politicians put their profit-seeking donors between us & medical providers.
We could have Medicare for All, which would save money. But corruption has been legalized, which lets insurers buy politicians who block that.
It's a MASTER PLAN - pass it on. http://MasterPlanPodcast.com

Proud to have founded one of the only news outlets in the entire country that reported on how both parties deliberately erased the health care crisis from the 2024 election.
This is the difference between corporate media and independent media. https://www.levernews.com/this-election-health-care-is-on-life-support/

There’s an alternate reality in which Bernie Sanders doesn’t apologize to Joe Biden & the campaign declines, but instead he doubles down on the criticism of corruption, wins the nomination and the presidency, and Donald Trump is not given a second term.

Hey Siri, show me what happens to a pundit when they become so terminally online and so sealed off from the real world that they’re convinced themselves that most voters actually love the unchecked growth of monopolistic megacorporations fleecing them at every turn

POST-ELECTION SWING-STATE POLL: "70 percent of voters said Harris campaigning with Cheney either had no impact on their enthusiasm or made them less enthusiastic.” https://www.levernews.com/a-new-maga-plot-to-kill-anti-corruption-laws/
And yet even after the election, Democrats are STILL doing events with Liz Cheney 👇

It’s important for Democrats to learn nothing and therefore to keep doing events with Liz Cheney, even after the election.

The "people who wear ties" extracted billions of dollars for themselves while giving America NAFTA, the Iraq War, a financial crisis, and a health care crisis.
In other words, the people who wear ties are responsible for destroying their own legitimacy.

This is the political equivalent of Democrats’ views of the financial crisis — when they basically argued nobody specific was actually to blame, it was inevitable, nothing coulda been done, etc. It is a party that is allergic to accountability.
