- The LeverRT @MelatKirosCO: Democrats won back Congress on a promise to fight corruption. Keeping that promise means setting a high standard of transparency for ourselves. A meeting about our party's future belongs in full view of the press.David Sirota @davidsirota🚨NEWS: Top Dems are heading to a conference with a shadowy billionaire front group @MajorityDems - and the group is now barring access to @LeverNews reporters as punishment for our investigative series exposing the group's funders.

- The LeverRT @davidsirota: This is a @MajorityDems official attacking our reporters with straight up invective for reporting a series on who the group’s funders are. Just look at this — this is how the Corporate Democratic faction treats journalists who report things they don’t like. It’s full mask off👇Andrew Mamo @AndrewMamo5It’s actually worth reading this loser’s article which is just a fundraising email for his own thing. Everyone should tune into the livestream! Tons of fun from every corner of the party. If you write for this guy, there are lots of jobs in journalism that don’t do lying.0720143

- The LeverRT @joelmwarner: Hey @mattcorridoni — I've tried reaching you about why The Lever was denied access to “What's Next.” Instead, you're publicly attacking our reporting as false, despite working closely with us on the story. Those are serious allegations. Let's talk.Matt Corridoni @mattcorridoni“All of the public” there are thousand of attendees from every wing of the party attending. My phone has been blowing up all day with people saying they’re excited to come — none of them billionaires. As for sham outlets not given credentials, whole event will be live streamed.080230

Now they’ve shut us out of a summit shaping Dems’ agenda. Patel, a former Musk exec, suggests our reporting is the reason. So much for “A different kind of Democrat.”Rohan Patel @rohanspatelI’m told by people smarter than me that it’s stupid to respond to those who publish bad faith absolute garbage on @LeverNews 1. Sirota(who has me blocked) has been funded by billionaires - just ask Mr. Omidyar. The hypocrisy of this dude is astounding. 2. There is a livestream of What’s Next - feel free to tune in. Gonna be a lot of fun. 3. Our team did their best to substantively respond to all the erroneous claims of these propagandists, but they conveniently ignored us and published anyways.0220235
