The lies are well-established but the heart of the George Santos story is MONEY. How did Santos go from having essentially no money in 2020 to being a millionaire in 2022. His “explanation” is not very credible. https://t.co/u5TWUNIdpL — PolitiTweet.org

"Santos acknowledged... financial difficulties had left him owing thousands to landlords and creditors. But he failed to fully explain... how his fortunes reversed so significantly that, by 2022, he was able to lend 700K to his congressional campaign" https://t.co/UMBkpFCdTw — PolitiTweet.org

Things Rep-elect George Santos admits to lying about during his campaign: Graduating from college Working for Goldman Working for Citibank His mother's religion Many Qs remain unanswered, including an unexplained massive increase in his wealth https://t.co/oxxbBvhVsu — PolitiTweet.org

@deRuyterPaul @elonmusk Musk literally told people to vote Republican in the last election, endorsed Ron DeSantis for president, and frequently promotes right-wing Twitter accounts. Not sure how you would describe it. — PolitiTweet.org

@LPDonovan Ah yes, how could I be so foolish to think that corporate lobbyists (sorry “interest groups”) would benefit from “back room deals.” My mistake. — PolitiTweet.org

@LPDonovan If you are actually for more transparency, great!

Corporate lobbyists prefer that these bills are passed at the last minute with little public discussion because then they can get what they want without having to justify it The choices reflected in these budgets would not be popular, even with Republicans — PolitiTweet.org

Judd Legum @JuddLegum

Here is a corporate lobbyist dismissing this thread as "progressive gripes." I think that's inaccurate. I don't think there is a significant constituency who wants to pay more to defense contractors instead of paid leave. That's why it's not discussed. https://t.co/3TI9NCyoeh — PolitiTweet.org

@TacticalDem I don't see many Democrats questioning the level of military spending — PolitiTweet.org

Judd Legum @JuddLegum

The United States could have simply maintained its 2021 spending and had the largest military spending in the world BY A HUGE MARGIN But it's never enough. More. More. More. https://t.co/QhVc456TLO — PolitiTweet.org

Judd Legum @JuddLegum

I would add that increasing the military budget by $70 billion+ over last year is INFLATIONARY. Supposedly combating inflation is our top priority. But we pretend like military spending doesn't count. It's only used to reject spending on social programs. — PolitiTweet.org

Judd Legum @JuddLegum

But it's worse than that because we don't even discuss these tradeoffs. We don't talk about the tradeoff between more spending with military contractors and universal pre-K. We just always go with more military spending, no matter what. — PolitiTweet.org

Judd Legum @JuddLegum

But when military contractors have a new weapons system that is even more efficient at killing people than our existing weapons systems, we absolutely MUST have it — PolitiTweet.org
