A dark money group, hidden behind a bunch of shell companies, is paying influencers thousands of dollars PER POST to attack @katmabu.bsky.social on social media a month before her election.

The boy depends on daily therapy, but at Dilley, those supports vanished.

Unable to understand why they couldn’t go home, he would cry through the night and hit himself, his mother told me.
