That the US is spending too much on weapons, foreign wars, and intervening in other conflicts for the benefit of the arms industry - all while Americans are neglected and suffer at home - used to be the linchpin of left-liberal politics. Now you only hear it in places like this: — PolitiTweet.org

On tonight's @SystemUpdate_, live at 7 pm ET, we'll examine how Congress has decided to keep the money spigot open and throw another $44 billion to fuel the war in Ukraine. Plus: @lhfang on yesterday's key revelations from his Twitter Files reporting: https://t.co/QqbxUAByHQ — PolitiTweet.org

The 1/6 Committee, irritated that there are other things attracting attention besides them, has delayed release of their final report until tomorrow. Russia and Ukraine should agree to a one-week cease fire out of respect for the 1/6 Committee's vital work. https://t.co/dbfkJ3lvZv — PolitiTweet.org

With @davidmirandario's term ending 1/30 - his heath crisis compelled us to withdraw his re-election bid - his aide brought his stuff from his Brasília apartment to us, including these photos. We'd long been hoping he'd be home for Christmas. We'll wait as long as we need to.❤️ https://t.co/2wA5ZR2i2e — PolitiTweet.org

@calmedtrees @PeterBale To weaken its perceived geo-strategic adversary. How can you possibly believe the US and UK Governments want to promote democracy and stop aggression in the world when - Iraq aside - their close allies are Saudi and Egypt and they give the Saudis the weapons to destroy Yemen? — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@calmedtrees @PeterBale I can't help the fact that there are still people in this world who believe the war-fighting and foreign policy goals of the US and UK are to help others, stop aggression, protect innocents, etc. Propaganda is potent. Either way, arguments about priorities is not "whataboutism." — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@PeterBale When Brazil spent billions to build stadiums for the World Cup and Olympics, many Brazilians objected on the ground that it's a fucked-up priority scheme since millions of Brazilians are without health care, clean water or food security. That's has *zero* to do with whataboutism. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Neither Bernie nor AOC has utter a word about the revelations of the Twitter Files because that would require them to criticize or ask questions about two things highly popular among their supporters: 1) FBI/DHS targeting of domestic politics and 2) Big Tech's Censorship regime. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@PeterBale Pointing out that the priorities of the US Government are completely fucked up -- because they're sending tens of billions to Raytheon and the CIA to feed a war on the other side of the world instead of helping their own citizens -- has nothing to do with "whataboutism." — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Yeah - many complained that when Musk bought Twitter for $44b, it was immoral because he could have ended world hunger for $20 billion. That seems more like the job of US elected officials, now sending another $44 billion "for the war in Ukraine," totaling $100 billion. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

As Congress prepares to send another $44 billion "for the war in Ukraine" - totaling $100b in just ten months - it's also about to kick off millions of Americans from the Medicaid coverage they received during COVID. Guess there's no money for that: https://t.co/R1Cgq94ls3 — PolitiTweet.org

You can watch the full program we did on this here. @SystemUpdate_ airs live, nightly at 7 pm ET on Rumble. We're thrilled with the audience size we've built after one week, even while launching in late December. Rumble is much lager than people realize: https://t.co/Aa1AVSjtS6 — PolitiTweet.org

Having read through all these secret FBI/Twitter communications, Shellenberger explained why he thinks a new Church Committee investigation into the US Security State is now vital, and how urgent it is to place limits on their ability to infiltrate US domestic politics: https://t.co/oXMyn4Ta8C — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

We also spoke to @ShellenbergerMD, who reported some genuinely amazing revelations about exactly how the FBI and DHS spent a full year planning to manipulate Big Tech -- with the help of their corporate media allies -- to censor the Biden reporting. The lies were knowing: https://t.co/Cz6EbMOm5h — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Corporate journalists have tried to train everyone to ignore the Twitter Files - in part because they're bitter real reporters like @mtaibbi and @lhfang got them, but also because they're complicit in the CIA lies that led to Big Tech censorship. But the revelations keep coming: https://t.co/Sr07SCMGC6 — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

In 1975, Frank Church -- an establishment liberal who volunteered to fight in WW2 after Pearl Harbor -- issued this grave warning on how NSA/CIA/FBI are the greatest threats to democracy, especially if they focus inward on our domestic politics. That's exactly what's happening: https://t.co/x8Ij5uJNac — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

The Church Committee was the first time most Americans learned of the limitless powers of the US Security State and how they were abused. Its goal was to reform that. But I'd argue the power of these agencies today is greater than ever, as are the abuses: https://t.co/mSqdyNkThX — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

On last night's @SystemUpdate_, we explored the newest key revelations from the Twitter Files - particularly the covert partnership between FBI/DHS and Big Tech. Given calls for a new Church Committee investigation of FBI, we put this into historical context with Frank Church: https://t.co/vVJALcFujJ — PolitiTweet.org

@KilladazeMusic That's bullshit. There's no question these groups would invite pro-Palestinian, anti-Israel Jews like, say, Norman Finkelstein or Noam Chomsky or Max Blumenthal. It's about viewpoint, not ethnicity or race or religion. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Twitter is the worst place to discuss these dynamics, so I won't. We're trying to get some of the professors and students to come on our show to talk about it. I hate campus controversies, but this is a law school, it's on the NYT front-page, and it illustrates broader debates. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Always an interesting dynamic where the right treats many accusations of racism, misogyny, homo/transphobic, etc. as trivial, inflated, designed to suppress debate, while the left insists it's a grave threat. That inverts 100% for anti-Semitism accusations. Key point: https://t.co/QS1DQBspH3 — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

This is an interesting controversy. Pro-Palestinian groups at Berkeley bar Zionists as event speakers, sparking accusations of intolerance and anti-semitism. Meanwhile, pro-Israel groups bar any anti-Zionists or those who "delegitimize" or "apply a double standard to Israel." — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@elonmusk @RandPaul The bipartisan rage toward Rand Paul -- simply because he wanted some accounting, safeguards and transparency provisions to that last $40 billion they sent "for Ukraine" -- said everything about what's going on here. And, of course, they rejected it all: https://t.co/n2ossg6Cy0 — PolitiTweet.org
