Fun fact: Friedrich Trump
Donald Trump’s white trash grandfather was deported from his native Germany in 1905 for failing to do his mandatory military service there.
Donald Trump’s KKK white trash father arrested. GOP Convention Stuck With Convicted Felon As Nominee, With No Clear Path To Replace Trump
Unlike in 2016, when a “Dump Trump” fight went to the floor, pro-Trump activists now make up an overwhelming majority of national convention delegates.
Trump may lose liquor license for Bedminster and his other New Jersey properties.
Because he is a convicted felon. Given his 34 felony convictions, a sentence to a period of incarceration is necessary to punish Donald Trump for his crimes – crimes designed to gain unfair advantage in an American election – AND to deter others who would chose to follow Trump’s criminal path.
WHITE TRASH Ben Zeisloft (Editor of the Republic Sentinel) advocates murder charges for women who get abortions, a return to public executions, and a ban on birth control pills. He previously worked for the Daily Wire.
PENNSYLVANIA This was the @PAGOP argument in court against the Fair [Public Ed] Funding lawsuit: “What use would someone on the McDonald’s career track have for Algebra 1?…The commonwealth has many needs. There’s a need for retail workers, for people who know how to flip a pizza crust.”

DARK MONEY
The Concord Fund, a key advocacy group in Leonard Leo’s network, paid $6 million to Leo’s consulting firm. Leo’s dark money scheme to influence the judiciary may also be about self-enrichment.
DARK MONEY PAY OFF
A billionaire donor wired the U.S. Chamber of Commerce $800k days after it endorsed his son, then-Rep. Peter Meijer, ahead of a contentious 2022 GOP primary, according to previously unreported emails obtained by @thehill. Days later, the Chamber dropped $381k on an ad entitled “Thank you, Rep. Peter Meijer.”
But bc the ad doesn’t explicitly advocate for his election, the Chamber didn’t have to disclose the donation from Hank Meijer, CEO of the superstore chain Meijer

@rhpsiaNEW: Newly obtained data shows the IRS unit that audits corporations & the ultrarich flagged no more than 22 possible tax crimes over the past 5 years — roughly 40 times fewer criminal referrals than from the unit covering small businesses. “I was putting butchers, bakers and candlestick makers in jail, but the big stuff we really wanted to go after was being ignored,” one ex-IRS official told @ICIJorg. He & some current agents say this enforcement approach encourages egregious behavior by the richest taxpayers.

SCOTUS is ILLEGITIMATE

Until 1920, it was illegal for women to vote.
Until 1964, it was legal to reject a job applicant because she was a woman.
Until 1974, banks could legally refuse to issue credit cards to women.
Women should not have to fight against patriarchy for their basic human rights.
I declare my independence from these people.
I refuse to abide by anything they say. I didn’t elect them & the people who installed them got there by cheating.
They do not interpret the Constitution, they destroy it for plutocrats, theocrats & dictators.
EXCLUSIVE UNDERCOVER AUDIO: Martha-Ann Alito Unfurled
“I want a Sacred Heart of Jesus flag because I have to look across the lagoon at the Pride flag for the next month.” “MY HERITAGE IS GERMAN” “I’M FROM GERMANY”
“I’ll get them” Martha Alito says of the media.

SCOTUS has been infiltrated by Jesus freaks! Seriously: WTAF?
Alito is 74 get him the hell out!
This is the direct result of actions taken by Republicans over the past 40 years, including all (yes, all!) conservative Supreme Court appointments since President George W. Bush.
The Right is having fits over Judge Merchan saying he’s biased and should have recused himself because of his daughter’s political involvement. But when it comes to the wives of Supreme Court Justices: nothing to see here.
Alito vows to return America to “godliness”
Clarence Thomas says he’s on a mission to make liberals miserable
Kavanaugh threatens liberals, warning that what goes around comes around
Barrett cavorts with Mike Johnson—her husband works for Rupert Murdoch
We first obtained the fake electoral certificates submitted by Trump supporters in seven states. We also obtained communications from early January 2021 showing NARA alerting governors’ offices to the fake electoral certificates.
Now that Biden’s been found guilty of felony gun charges, where are all their “2A” MAGAs screeching about Hunter’s right to bear arms? Congratulations to Jim Jordan and James Comer, who successfully got the President’s son convicted of a crime Trey Gowdy has said no one else would have been charged with.
Documentary about Palantir CEO: Alex Karp doesn’t like it

Elon Musk has warned Apple after it announced that it will be working with OpenAI, stating he will ban Apple devices at his companies if “Apple integrates OpenAI at the OS level,” calling it an “unacceptable security violation. So now I have to change cellphones ?? Everyone is obvious about what they’re doing … think we don’t care ?!! How can we ‘picket’ what’s happening to our devices ?
A hacker claims to have millions of records of Americans (names, home addresses, SSNs) stolen from a data broker. The data appears partly legitimate, but the source of the breach is unclear. The process of how we tried was still worth writing about.
The HELP Committee would like a simple answer to a simple question:
WHY are Americans charged $969 for Ozempic, when Germans can purchase it for $59? Unfortunately, Novo Nordisk has been unable to respond. They have given us no choice but to vote to subpoena their president.
