Four elections. Four different ways to steal one:

10/7/2016 — hours before the Access Hollywood tape & Podesta emails drop, Epstein, Thiel & the Russian UN Amb. meet
12/18/2020 — Trump, Flynn, Powell & Byrne meet in the White House. At the end, Trump tweets “will be wild”
10/27/2024 — after buying Twitter to radicalize Americans, Musk buys Trump for $300 million, bribes people to vote for him, and gets center stage at an American Bund-inspired rally at MSG
10/14/25 — after coordinating J6 from the Pentagon, Kash Patel gets a job dismantling FBI and travels to meet Putin & Russian intelligence three weeks before the midterms.

ANOTHER GOP DIDLER ARRESTED
Elliot Pritt, a Republican member of the West Virginia House of Delegates, public school teacher & married father of four was arrested & charged after he groomed a 15 yr old by communicating on Roblox & Snapchat and initiating a physical relationship.

Jeffrey Epstein died in federal custody in 2019. Lawyers subpoenaed the jail’s records on how he died.
The Justice Department refused. Its written answer: disclosure was “not appropriate.” The reason: the case had “terminated.”

Marc E. Elias @marceelias
If you are the DOJ, it is unprecedented to lose 17 straight voting cases in 17 different courts without winning a single one. It’s even more remarkable when 8 of them were decided by judges appointed by Trump.
How long will the networks ignore this? How long will Trump?

Jim Jordan should be locked up for enabling the sexual abuse of his wrestlers and also for his part in J6. He knew.
Rep. Jim Jordan’s crusade against Jack Smith has reached a new level: The Ohio Republican referred the former special counsel to the DOJ for prosecution.

U.S. Withdraws Subpoenas Issued to New York Times Journalists
After a federal judge grilled Justice Department lawyers for nearly an hour over their handling of the subpoenas, the government said, “The government is prepared to unilaterally withdraw the subpoenas at this time.” Gift link.

The 5 richest men on the planet now hold a combined $869 billion in wealth.
If each of them were to spend a million dollars daily, it would take them 476 years to exhaust their wealth. Don’t tell me they can’t afford a wealth tax.

Todd Blanche lied. The slush fund of $1.76 billion is not dead.
Trump is just waiting for the right moment, just before the election, to bribe an army of Jan6 criminals to disrupt the Election Day. They know how to storm buildings.

America First Policy Institute (AFPI) #KochNetwork Linda McMahon (Department of Education) is the chair of AFPI’s board.

@jimstewartson After 6 years, I’m out of “toldyas.” Allowing a man who already tried to overthrow the government to walk into the Kremlin 3 weeks before a crucial election is national suicide. Treason is on the ballots. Now we can only hope treason isn’t counting them.

The FBI Director Just Booked a Flight to Moscow–and the KGB’s Grandchildren Are Picking Him Up at the Airport

HUGE: Republican Thom Tillis says if there is even a “whiff” that Todd Blanche isn’t running an independent DOJ, he won’t vote for him.
Cory Booker says it’s not a whiff anymore. It is a deep stench.

“You’re literally lying in the pigsty with nostrils full of excrement.”
Leaked Andrew Tate texts are looking VERY bad for the Trump admin…
Texts from Andrew Tate reveal that a Trump admin official directly intervened on the Tate brothers behalf in early 2025 to stall the sex trafficking investigation.

Florida GOP State Rep. Paula Stark got kicked off the Nov. ballot after a judge denied her appeal over missing paperwork.
That means HD 47 is now an automatic flip to Democrats. Two Dems will face off in a primary—the winner takes the seat unopposed.
GOP self-own of the year.

Midwest Poultry Services is recalling more than 19 million eggs from its Texas farms over concerns about possible Salmonella contamination, according to the FDA.

The Judge in the Northwest Biotherapeutics case has made algorithmic data DISCOVERABLE. So Ken Griffin trade secrets might not be secret for long. THIS IS A HUGE ACHIEVEMENT

“The only minority destroying America is billionaires. Trans people are 1% of the population. Muslims are 1% of the population. Undocumented people are 1% of the population. We are focused on the wrong 1%.” James Talarico Democratic nominee for U.S. Senate in Texas.

AI

Former DOGE workers who have no experience in cybersecurity or cyberwarfare have launched a cybersecurity startup with $160 mill in funding. They’re aiming for US gov contracts that are focused on using AI in offensive and defensive cyber operations.

The White House accuses Moonshot AI of stealing from Anthropic: Michael Kratsios, technology advisor for the Trump administration, claims the Chinese AI lab “distilled” capabilities from Anthropic’s Fable model to build Kimi K3. Kratsios also alleges they trained the model on restricted Nvidia servers. Now, the Treasury Department is warning of possible sanctions for the alleged IP theft. But Silicon Valley is pushing back. Almost 200 startups, including YCombinator, are asking the administration not to block Chinese open-source models.

A company says it used Chinese AI to contain a cyberattack because US model guardrails stymied its defense.
It turns out the attacker was a test model that reportedly “escaped” from OpenAI—founded by Sam Altman who is fear mongering about Chinese AI.

Top American Al Execs Sound Alarm on Chinese Models WP
OpenAl and Anthropic executives are sounding the alarm about the rise of cheap Al, particularly powerful new models produced in China, suggesting they will lead to a “dystopian” Al future and present unacceptable security risks without regulation.

ESSAY Scott Galloway just explained why China doesn’t need to build better AI than America. It only needs to make American AI worthless.

Galloway: “I think China is beginning to engage in what I’ll call AI dumping.”

Not competing. Dumping.

It’s the term economists use for flooding a foreign market with below-cost goods until the domestic industry collapses.

Galloway: “They’re going to have a series of open-weight models. About a third of corporations now are supposedly using Chinese lightweight open-weight models that are cheaper.”

Not better. Cheaper.

A third of corporations. Already.

China isn’t trying to out-innovate Silicon Valley. It’s trying to collapse the economics beneath it.

Price warfare at the infrastructure layer.

Galloway: “If I were Xi, I would just dump cheap AI into the US market.”

This playbook is old. China ran it with steel. Ran it with solar. Ran it with semiconductors.

Flood a market with a cheaper version until the domestic industry can’t sustain itself.

AI is next.

Galloway: “The moment large corporations start announcing they’re disengaging these multi-million dollar site licenses with Anthropic or OpenAI, they’re using these inexpensive Chinese models…”

One CFO after another decides the Chinese model at a fraction of the cost is good enough.

Not better. Good enough.

“Good enough” at a lower price has killed more market leaders than any superior product ever has.

Galloway: “…and the market realizes that there’s no way they can justify these incredible valuations, I think the US market crashes.”

Not because the technology failed.

Because the business model did.

American AI companies are valued on the assumption that corporations will pay premium prices for premium models.

China’s whole strategy is to make that assumption false.

Galloway: “40% of the S&P now is directly or tangentially related to this giant bet America’s making on AI.”

40% of the S&P. Tied to one sector.

Galloway: “The majority of GDP growth over the last two years has come from AI CapEx.”

The majority of GDP growth. From one source.

America didn’t diversify its future. It concentrated everything into a single bet, then left that bet undefended.

Galloway: “If that slows down, we are immediately in a recession.”

Immediately. Not gradually. Not over quarters.

The distance between AI boom and American recession is one procurement decision.

America built the most advanced AI on Earth and forgot to build an economy that survives someone selling it cheaper.

The threat to American AI was never that China would build something smarter.

It was that China would build something cheaper, and American corporations would choose the price.

China’s real weapon isn’t Chinese technology. It’s American capitalism.

The same rational self-interest that built the AI industry will dismantle it the moment a cheaper alternative appears. The market has no patriotism. Only price sensitivity.

The technology race was never the real race.

The real race was always whether America could turn its AI dominance into something that survives being undercut.

America hasn’t even started running it.

China already has.
