Leticia James brings it – Trump+
The $250 million lawsuit relies on a special statute for repeat instances of alleged violations of the law, stemming from real estate transactions. James is also filing a criminal referral to federal prosecutors and a separate tax fraud referral to the IRS. Letitia James doesn’t give a fuck about your 60-days-before-an-election rule and it’s fucking glorious.
NY AG Letitia James just filed a civil fraud lawsuit against Donald Trump, Donald Trump Jr., Eric Trump, Ivanka Trump, Allen Weisselberg, Jeffrey Mcconney, The Donald J. Trump Revocable Trust, The Trump Organization, Inc., and other businesses associated with Trump.
AG Letitia James says investigators uncovered that Trump: – personally certified financial statements that were utter lies – changed the methods for valuing his property to dodge taxes – inflated the value of golf clubs.
If Letitia James wins in this lawsuit, she will have ended the reign of the Trump business empire in New York.
How happy are you Judge Dearie declared the documents Trump took were and are classified?
Dearie to Trump: you are the plaintiff, you have the burden of proof, you have set forth no evidence that the docs are not classified, whereas the govt has set out proof they are. So unless you overcome that proof, you are not getting classified docs returned to you. Case closed.
Should the Justice Department file CRIMINAL charges against the owners of FOX News, OAN, and Newsmax for helping Donald Trump orchestrate the deadly January 6 insurrection and for assisting Trump’s failed attempted coup to steal Biden‘s win?
Fun Fact: every single state that voted for Donald Trump receives more money from the federal government than it contributes. Red states have functioning state budgets only because of taxpayers in blues states.
Annexation helped trigger World War II. The world established the United Nations in part to prevent future annexations and encourage decolonization and national inpendence. Putin is now threatening again these core norms of the rules-based international order. He must be stopped.
Massive protests in Novosibirsk also huge number of Protestors arrested by the Police. #PutinMeltdown #FCKPTN
Elon Musk pays people to astroturf reddit.
Why pay for a bunch of TV advertisements when you can pay a bunch of college kids to make posts using specialized sockpuppet software? An article from Deutschlandfunk describes how “online armies take on defense work and information policy for Elon Musk” via tech blogs and social media.
Twitter Could Face $5B In Fines Over Not Protecting Minors From Porn: Report
Twitter may have broken the consent decree with the Federal Trade Commission when the company reportedly found in an internal study this year that it doesn’t adequately stop underage users from viewing and uploading porn, the New York Post quoted former FTC officials saying.

You are an avowed Christian nationalist.
Any notion that your Jewish heritage means your actions must be benign would be analogous to Roger Stone protege Laura Loomer (who is Jewish) claiming that she hasn’t normalized anti-semitism, even tho she cavorted w/ Richard Spencer. 1/
At last night’s election watch party, Laura Loomer toasted with Holocaust denier Nick Fuentes “to the hostile takeover of the Republican Party.”
“The ten most terrifying words in the English language are, ‘I’m from the private sector, & I’m here to help” -Reagan
Christian politicians and their followers are religious extremists, and terrorists, forcing their beliefs on others.
Questioning the use of “terrorists” here? Their acts are terrorizing people, it’s a pretty simple and direct use of the word.
Anti-abortion terrorists have committed 41 bombings and 173 arsons at clinics since 1977. These Christians forcing their religion on us are terrorists. #RoeVsWade

Send a Message to Josh Shapiro, Democratic Candidate for Governor of Pennsylvania
We recently learned that Josh Shapiro, Democratic candidate for Governor of Pennsylvania, has endorsed vouchers. This “Democrat” who has embraced the Republican agenda for education. Josh Shapiro is a hypocrite. Real Democrats support public goods. Real Democrats care about the common good. Real Democrats fight privatization of what belongs to the public.
https://dianeravitch.net/2022/09/20/pennsylvania-democratic-gubernatorial-candidate-endorses-republican-school-agenda/
and https://dianeravitch.net/2022/09/20/peter-greene-josh-shapiro-joins-the-gop-on-school-vouchers/
Josh favors adding choices for parents and educational opportunity for students and funding lifeline scholarships like those approved in other states and introduced in Pennsylvania.
The Lifeline Scholarship bill is a GOP education savings account bill–a super-voucher bill– currently sitting in the appropriations committee in the House.
The silence of American Christian leaders not condemning DeSantis and Abbott is deafening.
Pharmacists who refuse to fill legal prescriptions should be dispharmed. There is no possible religious reason TO NOT DO YOUR JOB. If your religion conflicts with your job, FIND A NEW JOB.
“Criminal behavior.” Trump mobsters and GOP operatives caught on surveillance video in restricted area tampering with Georgia voting equipment the day after the insurrection. Lock them all up.

SELFISH STUPID PEOPLE SPREAD POLIO
Vaccines developed in the 1950s and 1960s eradicated polio in the United States. But now with the first U.S. case of polio in a decade and evidence of community spread in New York, some may begin to worry. Dr. Amy Edwards shares what you need to know.
Putin’s announced mobilization of 300,000 “reservists” was jaw-dropping to me this morning, but not for the reason some might suspect. Why? Because know how Russian soldiers are trained, in basic training & in their units.
