Right-wing billionaires now own the Washington Post, the LA Times, CNN, CBS News, virtually every local TV station, virtually every news radio station, most local newspapers, X, Facebook, Threads, and TikTok. (Did I miss any?) They own almost the entire information environment.

Here’s the thing: you didn’t buy that domain to platform Planned Parenthood endorsements! You did it to mislead voters. You have not apologized for that. We can disagree about the methodology of the cheat sheet. But what you did was intentionally deceptive and you and you owe voters an apology.

But more importantly, you are continuing to act in childish bad faith here. No one claimed those endorsements had no value, nor did the cheat sheet ever claim to contain all endorsements ever. Please grow up.

SCOOP: 'Tommy' from the now-viral exchange with Abdul El-Sayed is Thomas Teepell, a former staffer for Republican Senator Josh Hawley with close ties to Christian Nationalist Sean Feucht. He's the son of a former Bobby Jindal staffer whose consultant work was instrumental in getting Hawley elected.

This is Tommy. Tommy had a question about my allegiances. Listen to the end to hear about his.
