The people call Donald J. Trump
Kevin Wallace just said the magic words, “The people call Donald J. Trump,” and he just took his sworn oath to tell the truth.
My favorite line so far from the Trump trial today:
NY attorney: Did you get copies of statements in 2021?
Donald Trump: I was so busy in the White House with China, Russia, and keeping the country…
NY attorney: You were not the President in 2021.

Mueller, She Wrote
The polls were wildly wrong in 2012, 2016, 2018, 2020, and 2022. And we’re seeing the EXACT SAME horse race bullshit now
When will folks realize its a BUSINESS? These polling companies make MILLIONS, and the media cleans up on scaring you with the results. Just VOTE.
Plenty of companies that are household names are making political contributions to the members of Congress who voted against certifying the 2020 presidential election.
Mike Johnson
Sure looks like Mike Johnson committed PPP loan fraud, and then the loan was forgiven.
Why would you need Half a Million Dollars in payroll assistance, for a small Louisiana-based church, with only eight employees?
Cypress Baptist Church of Benton, LA never paid back the loans. They were forgiven. There is so much more to @SpeakerJohnson and so much more to his not having a bank account. What a scam artist, “ praising the looord” and stealing from the government all in the same breath.
Where did 380 billion of PPP loans go? HERE THEY ARE
Mike Johnson was a member of the secretive Council for National policy in 2012 and 2013, and possibly earlier. Documented has published a newly revealed internal CNP directory. Here we connect the dots: Unpacking the Connections Between Mike Johnson and the Religious Right
VIDEO An unearthed clip shows Mike Johnson promoting an app called “Covenant Eyes” which “scans your devices” and “sends a report” to someone if you view “sinful” material. The app says “defeat porn.” He has been scrubbing this from his pages.
#MEDIA
@ElieNYC
Not for nothing, but if all you can do is scream at the 22% of the Black vote thinking of going for Trump, but not the 55% of the white vote that WILL go for Trump, you might be suffering from a bad case of white media.
New Washington Post CEO worked for Murdoch for a decade
NYT continues to carry water for fascists
60 Minutes platforms insurrectionists like Greene & John Eastman
CBS hired Trump lackeys like Mulvaney
ABC praised Moms for Liberty as joyful warriors
Media is screwing us again

Here’s What Can Happen When Kids Age Out of Foster Care
The unspoken theme here is that many kids fall directly into the hands of traffickers because of how foster care is intentionally designed in many states. Children in foster care experience high levels of trauma and high rates of PTSD post-traumatic stress disorder and other mental health conditions.

The SBF Verdict and Crypto’s Unindicted Scam Network
“The high-profile trial leaves many questions unanswered, chiefly about FTX’s apparent role as a money-laundering operation.”
TETHER
Tether matters because FTX’s downfall is ultimately a story about illicit finance writ large. Besides securities and commodities fraud, Bankman-Fried was also convicted of conspiracy to commit money laundering. And some of FTX/Alameda’s business operations make it sound like the company itself served as a giant clearing house for laundering cash.
Fun Fact: Tether has sold Tethers for less than a dollar. Sometimes, as low as 40 cents, or even $0.00 Dollars for ponzi scammers. Tether could do a promotion, you redeem USDC & get two Tethers for each dollar you send to Tether fraud.
Costs Tether $0 to bring down competitor.
