Re: Alaska
Make it illegal then.
Also let’s ban gerrymandering.
And get money out of politics.
Why do Republicans only suddenly care about election shenanigans when they’re not the ones doing it?

REVEALED: the Republican Women’s Caucus (RWC) Fund and a man named John Braun, possibly the WA state senator, have been identified as the names behind controversial text messages about transgender resources sent to Texans earlier this month.

TIRE SLASH. RED LIGHT. ICE.
ACLU drops video of an ICE agent in Hillsboro, Oregon walking up to an observer couple’s car and puncturing a tire at a traffic light.
Dropped Oct 29. Phones up. Rubber down.
Who still films without a cost?

The Trump admin isn’t about competence, qualifications and ability. It’s about loyalty, cover ups and secrecy.

Republicans might have an argument on this Dan Sullivan thing if they had not done the same thing over and over the past few cycles.
And it is the media's responsibility to ensure people know that is the case.

"Nothing of this scale has been seen in the United States, experts say, since the federal government’s counterinsurgency against the New Left and the anti-war movement in the 1960s and 1970s."
Incredible reporting here from @awinston

Given how much Paxton/Rs have tried to imply things about Talarico’s personal life, it’s a tough posture to now say Paxton’s personal life is off limits. Good NYT story here about the woman influencer behind the Paxton scenes.

Trump admitted he blocked energy funding to punish blue states he lost in 2024, including $586 million for Illinois.
Courts ruled it illegal. He's still blocking the money.
Bipartisan permitting reform won't work if Trump ignores the law. He must reinstate the grants first.

According to the book, Kushner got Tillerson fired for a $50 million UAE payment because Tillerson supported Qatar. This panicked Qatar because they realized Kushner was a pay-to-play operative, so they bought Kushner's New York City apartments, which were in the red, hoping this would help.

Two dispatches from @AlejandraJMillo in the same hour … Trump offers to pay for evidence (fine print “and results in a conviction”) of a thing he’s claimed to have & pledged to release about the 2020 race since …2020.
Trump then says the election in Brazil seems rigged, without evidence.

During the January 6th attack on the nation's Capitol, Daniel Rodriguez drove a stun gun into the neck of Officer Mike Fanone. He was knocked unconscious, had a heart attack and suffered a traumatic brain injury. It ended his career.
Rodriguez got over 12 years in prison for his assault on police. On day one, Donald Trump gave him a "full, complete and unconditional pardon" and sent him home.
This is far and away the most corrupt White House in American history.

Just a reminder that Trump doesn’t like Muslims who run for Democratic office, but he absolutely fucking loves Muslims who give him $400 million jets.

So let met get that straight: paying a wealth tax is impossible (“billionaires have no liquidity”, “it would be taxing unrealized gains”, “their wealth is virtual”) but paying half a billion to influence elections is possible. Did I understand well?
Elon Musk has cemented his record as the largest individual political donor in modern American history.
Musk poured $446 million of his own money into this year’s midterm elections, mostly aimed at preserving the Republican Party’s control of Congress. wapo.st/4igb5Kq

Jared Kushner asked for a bribe and received billions to sell U.S. foreign policy. That includes payments from UAE ruler Mohamed bin Zayed, who favored blowing up the JCPOA and funded the genocide in Sudan, and from bone-saw MBS. If he did it here, he’s doing it with Ukraine too.
This is the worst, most catastrophic corruption in American history period. We are in a period of immorality and horror that hasn’t been seen since slavery. The price for that was immense. And there will be a price to pay for this, as well. The Iran War is a part of this.
I would bet the house on this corrupt money somehow driving the foreign policy towards Iran that led to where we are today. Americans are dead. Iranian children are dead. Our bases are shattered. Our munitions are spent. Our Patriots are gone. We have increased the risk of a wider conflagration to a maximal degree. And for what?
To make Trump and Kushner money. Families with zero identifiable military service as far as I can tell. Appalling.
“In late spring 2020, a source I knew to be reliable called me with a story,” writes Matthew Cole. “The Dutch government had hacked into Jared Kushner’s phone and monitored him as he accessed a Dubai-based bank account. What was odd, the source said, was that the money in the account—hundreds of millions of dollars—had come from a bank in Azerbaijan. Most importantly, Kushner appeared to have transferred significant amounts of money from the Dubai account to other individuals, including a warlord, a mercenary and a one-time hit man. The story sounded preposterous, I told my source. And yet.
Six months later, I found myself speaking with someone else about the UAE government and their use of mercenaries in conflicts around the Middle East and Africa when I asked, on a whim, whether they knew anything about Kushner and bank transfers from a UAE account. My acquaintance grew quiet. Then they replied, ‘Yes.’” Kushner’s lawyer denied the bank account existed.
