Monday Monday 🎶 Blink blink.
What!?! After two days of blocking most news for the better part of two days, I wake up to #CharlesKoch and #CitizensUnited cronies eating crow but suing Trump over tariffs. Lord have mercy.

Everyone who is mad about Trumps advertisement show for Tesla in front of the White House shouldn't be.
It's great what he did and I'll explain you why I think so.
Getting the President to pose as a used car seller shows how desperate #Musk is and that we can hurt him here, so we must continue. Another added value of this genious PR stunt: it will have the opposite effect Ren and Stimpy were hoping for as the brand is now really 100% associated with the shitheads and will further catalyse the brands meltdown. #Trump and Musk can in the meantime get creative on how to explain to all the #DodgeRAM #MAGA meatheads that they now should buy all of a sudden a (gAaaaYyy!!11!) electric car while at the same time sucking #CharlesKoch's oily d***. Good luck!
(Edit: added 'desperate'; changed Koch brothers to Charles Koch, as it is minus one since a few years already)

#CharlesKoch’s network launches $20m campaign backing Trump #tax breaks
Revealed: #fossilfuel #billionaire’s #AmericansForProsperity vows ‘herculean undertaking’ to renew and deepen tax cuts
The donor appeal calls for even bolder tax cuts for corporations that would directly benefit #KochIndustries, the energy and chemicals giant from which most of #AFP’s funding derives.
It is estimated that the #Kochs have benefited by more than $1bn a year from Trump’s tax cuts.

So #CharlesKoch, #HarlanCrow et al. bought a Supreme Court (@scotus) that kept #Trump out of prison, granted him massively extended immunity and then pumped money into the @GOP campaign.
They own the horrors of the coming years (only 4, hopefully). https://www.nytimes.com/2025/01/14/us/politics/trump-special-counsel-report-election-jan-6.html

"Die #HeritageFoundation ist seit vielen Jahren ein Propaganda- und Lobbyinginstrument der Fossilbranchen. Sie bekam viel Geld von Koch Industries und auch von Exxon und ist Mitglied im ultralibertären #AtlasNetzwerk, das jahrzehntelang #Klimawandelleugnung global förderte, mitfinanziert wiederum von #CharlesKoch und #Exxon. Es ist, das nebenbei, ein Skandal, dass deutsche Organisationen wie das #Prometheus-Institut des #FDP-Politikers Frank #Schäffler oder die Organisation #NOUS (geleitet von Christian Lindners Wirtschaftsberater Lars Feld), weiterhin Mitglieder dieses Netzwerks sind."

> It’s said that behind every great fortune is a great crime. This is the crime, the genesis of the Kochs’ $120 billion empire—and the foundation of the fearsome #KochNetwork, that political Death Star, created solely to keep #CharlesKoch out of prison.
... the rest of the Osage story—right up to today—especially their decades-long battle with #KochOil.

Charles Koch would pay to get Hitler elected if he thought it would save him some taxes.

"Discourse Magazine" is Koch-funded Libertarian propaganda
For those unfamiliar with Discourse Magazine, it is a new-ish (~2020 launch) publication of the Mercatus Center at George Mason University, both of which are strongly Libertarian, highly ideological, free-market fundamentalist, strongly aligned with the Koch family and Koch Industries, who provide major financial support and whose head, Charles Koch, serves on the board.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mercatus_Center
https://www.discoursemagazine.com/about/
These are part of the larger global Atlas Network of Libertarian "think tanks" (that is, propaganda mills) founded in 1981 by Antony Fisher:
https://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php?title=Atlas_Network
And are an outgrowth of the Mont Pelerin Society of "free-market' economists and propagandists.
https://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php?title=Mont_Pelerin_Society
Excellent investigations of these groups include
Jane Mayer, Dark Money: on political influence by the Kochs and others. https://archive.org/details/darkmoneyhiddenh0000maye_k2o0
Naomi Oreskes and Eric Conway, Merchants of Doubt: on climate disinformation by the Kochs and others.https://archive.org/details/merchantsofdoubt00ores
Oreskes and Conway, The Big Myth: on how "free markets" were sold as an ideological fable, by the Kochs and others. https://www.bloomsbury.com/us/big-myth-9781635573572/
I'd run across Discover Magazine via a recent HN submission, having been previously unaware of it: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36856215

@alfredo_liberal Since #charleskoch is attacking our potus now let’s remember that #BrownVBoard is what triggered him to hook up with racist economist James Buchanan & start the #rulingclass assault on freedom.

Kemi Badenoch Carries on Liz Truss’ Tufton Street Traditions.
The International Trade Secretary is due to speak at a Koch-founded libertarian ‘think tank’, the Cato Institute, that is “dedicated to the principles of individual liberty, limited government, free markets, and peace”. In other words, as the Cato Institute openly admits, it is committed to “libertarian principles”.
The Conservatives, run from Tufton Street, are libertarian, plain and simple.

Advancing White Supremacy Through Academic Strategy
... The report’s chapters describe the interwoven infrastructure of neo-confederate scholars, funded by the Charles Koch Foundation, who are training and recruiting the next generation of anti-civil rights Austrian economists. We explore the dangerous ideologies involved in this network, past and present, including recent influence on the violent Alt-Right and Neo-Nazis.
Other chapters highlight the Koch family’s involvement in Nazi sympathizing, efforts to oppose the Civil Rights Movement of the 1960s, and the present-day Koch network’s effort to roll-back opposing civil rights.
We believe that understanding the Charles Koch Foundation’s material support for, and ideological confluence with, a network of Neo-Confederate and white nationalist scholars is integral to understanding the Koch-network’s past and present efforts to resegregate our nation’s schools, dismantle voting rights, and expand the prison industrial complex -- all at the expense of people of color. ...
