Joe Manchin is cashing in while almost single-handedly tanking his own
party's agenda and cooking the planet.

Friend,
Joe Manchin has almost single-handedly tanked his own party's agenda,
dealing a possibly fatal blow to a Build Back Better bill that is
supported by nearly 70% of West Virginians, and voters nationwide.
And if you take one look at his campaign donors and personal financial
interests, it's pretty obvious what's going on-but you wouldn't
know it from watching cable news.
Manchin reaps millions each year from a family coal company that is now
run by his son. His daughter is a pharmaceutical industry executive for
a company notorious for jacking up the prices of EpiPens. Manchin's
biggest sources of campaign cash are lobbyists, fossil fuel giants, and
Wall Street.
How's he getting away with it? The corporate media is protecting him.
Corporate pundits portray Manchin as a reasonable "centrist" who is
trying to protect the budget, which just so happens to align with the
financial interests of the owners and executives who control these giant
media conglomerates.
