Is there any other media job that pays $400,000 per month for recording four videos a week, or is it just doing "anti-woke" conservative clickbait

Russia is even more out of ideas than we are if the best they can come up with for an influence operation is bankrolling Benny Johnson and Tim Pool

Tim Pool says he didn’t know Tenet was a Russian operation, says he’s a “victim.” A commentator in the indictment who appears to be Pool made $100k per episode for Tenet. https://t.co/s778QZzzar https://t.co/QdB4l7DfwF

Statements by Benny Johnson and Tim Pool both use the same opening wording about a “leaked” indictment. There was no leak. The indictment was filed yesterday under seal. A judge ordered it unsealed today at 1pm. The DOJ then issued a press release and made it public. https://t.co/GuPFKmYGck pic.twitter.com/2kcxl5dbg0

This video from this demented and damaged human, which was made before all of the known criminal activity of her family and before her visit to the theater, should be exhibit # 1 as to why these people should never be listened to. I can't wait until voters fire her. https://t.co/mwc1eKjWnx

I haven't mention the "armed gangs have taken over an apartment complex in CO" narrative dominating the far right, but here's some actual reporting on it. No gangs, no takeover, just people living at the mercy of a racist slumlord.
No wonder it's such a hit in MAGA land. https://t.co/IOFENZ4Ivs

NEW: I wrote about Trump's repeated claims that if he gets another term, he'll declassify all the UFO, JFK, and Epstein files, and how the promise is the ultimate carrot to dangle in front of his conspiracy obsessed followers.https://t.co/i3MX33jSmj
