Red state Republicans are rolling back child labor laws aaronrupar.substack.com/p/sarah-sander…

I have meetings that will take me away from the computer for most of today but I'm able to quickly catch up with what I miss using @SnapStream. If your company or org wants the most powerful media monitoring tool, click the link below for more info. go.snapstream.com/moments/aaron?…

I think it's very possible the 2024 GOP primary ends up being a dud & Trump wins easily thanks to a combination of the base still loving him & other contenders being complete cowards. He's already over 50%, so even if a consensus non-Trump candidate emerges it might be too late.

"Trump is the GOAT" is not a great campaign slogan when you're, you know, thinking about running against Trump twitter.com/atrupar/status…

lol this Pence media tour is just sad

yeah, the Trump administration, legendary for a lack of nepotism and corruption

uh, yes, we did

so much of this Republican freakout over PARENTS RIGHTS is just a reaction to the idea their kids might learn about something in school that pierces their own regressive worldview

"Who's pulling Alvin Bragg's strings? Is it George Soros?"

Trump warns of “death & destruction” if he’s indicted

New in Public Notice: Republicans are responding to a tight labor market not by improving wages or working conditions, but by exploiting children. Conservatism in a nutshell. aaronrupar.substack.com/p/sarah-sander…

Gonzaga had the ball up 9 with 1:30 left and ended up blowing it in regulation. That's hard to do in college bask-- oh wait. Wow. #MarchMadness

"Authoritarians control their followers by manipulating information & silencing dissent. Trump’s hush money payments did both of those things ... like the rest of his political career, the suppression of Daniels’s story was intended to subvert democracy." aaronrupar.substack.com/p/trump-stormy…

in case you're curious I learned that YT reviews both public & private vids when you apply for monetization, so I'm purging my YT page of everything but original pods before reapplying. BTW, if you want to check my show out, 4 episodes are already live! youtube.com/channel/UCpspd…

This really should have been his “Mission Accomplished” moment. twitter.com/atrupar/status…

@TeamYouTube Thank you -- it sounds from your response that I would be well served to delete the private news clips so the only thing left on my page are the fully original video podcasts. Really appreciate the responsiveness!

@TeamYouTube Thank you. One more Q. While all of my public videos are fully original, I have a number of videos on private that are just news clips and hence not original content. Would it be more helpful to my cause to delete them entirely, or are public videos the only consideration?

@TeamYouTube thanks. Would it be possible for you to shoot me a DM? I have questions about what to do before appealing/reapplying

Pence is on Hannity defending Trump and describing the Manhattan DA's investigation as "the criminalization of politics"

@BettyBowers @YouTubeCreators the only 4 public videos on my page are fully original video podcasts with 0 reused content. I do have a number of news clips on private. I figured that wouldn't impact monetization, but perhaps I need to go ahead and delete the private videos. youtube.com/@theaaronrupar…

@TeamYouTube Thank you for responding. The public videos on my page are fully original video podcasts, so I believe I am following the monetization policies. But please let me know if I'm missing something. youtube.com/channel/UCpspd…

Wondering if folks have advice about getting monetized by @YouTubeCreators. The only public vids on my page are the 4 episodes of my original show, but I was rejected for "limited originality." I do have a bunch of news clips on private. Should I delete them before reapplying?

SCOTT JENNINGS: In terms of the personalities involved in this, Costello seems like the only straight player to me @rgoodlaw: *destroys Costello's credibility*

@atrupar and @nberlat are 💯 right on here. THIS is why this particular case, and the others that will surely follow, matters. aaronrupar.substack.com/p/trump-stormy…

.@davidrlurie on DeSantis: "You can't run against another politician and do everything you have to do to to win, especially when they're the frontrunner, with one hand tied behind your back." Check out the full podcast here: aaronrupar.substack.com/p/david-lurie-…

In related news, according to anonymous sources, DeSantis eats pudding with his dirty fingers nymag.com/intelligencer/… twitter.com/atrupar/status…

One way of reading DeSantis's governorship is that it's an extension of the grievance that drove the Hulk Hogan vs Gawker lawsuit. Peter Thiel's ideological animus and anti-media resentment has found a host body in the form of the Florida governor. twitter.com/atrupar/status…

Yes Marx addresses the paying off of porn stars in Das Kapital twitter.com/atrupar/status…

Tim Scott on if he has concerns about Trump paying off an adult film actress so she doesn't talk about an alleged affair: "The road to socialism runs right through a divided Republican Party." (He never actually addresses the question.)
