The UAE secretly paid Trump $187 million. Money in his pocket personally. And then Trump overrode decades of national security objections to selling Nvidia chips to UAE because we feared UAE would send the chips to China.

Corruption has consequences.

4 reasons why Trump is the worst possible president to declare a β€˜war on fraud’ As one Democratic senator summarized, β€œTrump announcing a war on fraud is like a criminal announcing a war on crime.”

The president who announced a new β€œwar on fraud” is the same president who
- ran a fraudulent charity
- ran a fraudulent β€œuniversity”
- oversaw a business that was found to have engaged in systemic fraud
- pardoned a bunch of people convicted of fraud

I am not that long but have a position in my Public account. (About a quarter of my portfolio there.) I'm hoping it rallies so I can gift it to my son who is a chef at a farm-to-table on upstate NY. They use the Toast devices there.

Hey, ICE!

I am an anti-ICE account. I'm not hard to find. I post under my real name, I don't hide behind a mask like your agents do, and I don't change my license plate either.

WaPo editorial board when TX imposes a legislative gerrymander: don't freak out guys! Not a threat to democracy!

When VA responds to TX with *referendum* on their own gerrymander: brass-knuckled hypocrisy, anti-democratic gamesmanship.

There is hypocrisy here, all right, but not from VA.

Mike Johnson on Trump calling for Rs to "nationalize" elections: "We had 3 Republicans who were ahead on election day in last cycle & every time a new tranche of ballots came in they just magically whittled away until their leads were lost. It looks on its face to be fraudulent. Can I prove it? No"

DHS Hunts Down 67-Year-Old U.S. Citizen Who Criticized Them in Email The Department of Homeland Security is using a little-known tool to go after its critics.

Floored by this story. A man wrote a pollite email to a federal prosecutor objecting to the deportation of an Afghan seeking asylum. DHS responded with an administrative warrant to get the man's info from Google, then visited his home to intimidate him.
