This case is not just about hush money
—it’s about corrupting an election, violating election laws and keeping voters in the dark.
E.B. White wrote in The New Yorker in 1943, in the middle of World War II:
“We received a letter from the Writers’ War Board the other day asking for a statement on ‘The Meaning of Democracy.’ It presumably is our duty to comply with such a request, and it is surely our pleasure …. Surely the Board knows what democracy is. It is the line that forms on the right. It is the don’t in don’t shove. It is the hole in the stuffed shirt through which the sawdust slowly trickles; it is the dent in the high hat. Democracy is the recurrent suspicion that more than half of the people are right more than half of the time. It is the feeling of privacy in the voting booths, the feeling of communion in the libraries, the feeling of vitality everywhere. Democracy is a letter to the editor. Democracy is the score at the beginning of the ninth. It is an idea which has not been disproved yet, a song the words of which have not gone bad. It’s the mustard on the hot dog and the cream in the rationed coffee. Democracy is a request from a War Board, in the middle of a morning in the middle of a war, wanting to know what democracy is.”
The first criminal trial against a US president starts today – Trump is charged with 34 felonies for falsifying documents related to payments to Stormy Daniels to interfere in the 2016 election

Hush Money Payment Timeline
Prosecutors will move for Trump to be held in contempt of court for violating court’s gag order with incendiary and threatening social media posts — intimidating witnesses and potential jurors
Finding of contempt would mean Trump gets fined …..
A better solution would be to fine him AND jail him.
Trump’s 34 FELONIES EXPLAINED: Scheme included funneling payoff to Stormy via a shell company. Trump hid repayments to Cohen via his Revocable Trust and personal acct. Trump Org processed checks as a ‘legal retainer’ using 34 phony ledger entries to hide for tax purposes.
OBVIOUSLY BILLIONAIRS WANT TO KEEP TRUMP IN OFFICE.

“At the end of 2025, many of the tax cuts that Trump signed into law in 2017 will expire…Including interest costs, extending all the tax breaks could add another $3.8 trillion to the national debt through 2033…”
At the end of 2025, many of the tax cuts that Trump signed into law in 2017 will expire so extending all the tax breaks could add another $3.8 trillion to the national debt through 2033.
Tax Day reveals a major split in how Joe Biden and Donald Trump would govern
The wealthy should pay more in taxes to reduce the federal deficit and help fund programs for the poor and middle class.
vs
Trump keeping taxes low for the wealthy will supercharge investment and lead to more jobs, while tax hikes would crush an economy still recovering from inflation that hit a four-decade peak in 2022.

I pay what I owe.
Tomorrow I will wire transfer to the IRS
$288,000,000.00
This country has done so much for me, I’m proud to pay my taxes every single year.
Tag a former president that you know doesn’t.
Donald Trump’s Worst Deal
The President helped build a hotel in Azerbaijan that appears to be a corrupt operation engineered by oligarchs tied to Iran’s Revolutionary Guard.
The most under-discussed thing in America is the Biden admin tackling monopolies using the Sherman Act. Hasn’t happened since the great depression, I don’t think.
FTC Chair Lina Khan is leading the charge against monopolies in corporate America, aiming to safeguard consumers from excessive corporate power.
@costareports talks with Khan about going after Big Tech, Big Pharma, and Amazon.

FTC is not there to protect/coddle big business. Not there to do the bidding of lobbyists…
Laws & regulations exist because consumers/American people need protections
You don’t have to be a genius. Just be humble, DCA, buy the dips and you will outperform all the experts in traditional finance over the long run. It is that simple.

TODAY On April 19, 1943, Albert Hofmann, a Swiss chemist, accidentally discovered the hallucinogenic properties of LSD while working at the Sandoz Laboratories in Basel, Switzerland. This accidental exposure led to the first intentional ingestion of LSD a few days later, which initiated Hofmann’s famous bicycle ride home while under the influence of the drug. This event marked the beginning of modern research into psychedelics.
