😱😱😱 And just like that, it’s completely VANISHED from the media. A sitting congressman, Ted Lieu, said on the record the Epstein files are being blocked because they show Trump raped and threatened to kill children. Lets make this viral again 👇

I remember watching Barack Obama’s 2004 DNC speech and thinking: one day, this man is going to be president. What I didn’t know was that he’d launch a presidential campaign just 4 years later. Today, we’re a divided country. I’m ready to go back to the politics of hope. Who’s with me?

New in PN: Trump's systemic attack on whistleblowers, explained by @donmoyn.bsky.social “The parallel is Trump’s private businesses, where, since the early ‘90s, he’s had everyone around him sign NDAs, including porn stars he wanted to hush up. Now he’s applying that model to the public sector."

I've reported on Musk for around 8 years. I've co-authored a book on him. I don't think folks understand the rate of his wealth accumulation. Shortly after he helped elect Donald Trump in Nov 2024, his net worth was around $350 billion. That net worth has nearly tripled in less than two years.

This is an actual excerpt from the motion, but to fully convey how serious this is, I've changed the font to Comic Sans
The reason for this clause is that people and companies, who have given, or will be giving, millions of dollars to the Center were only willing to do so with the name

"Trump" on the Building. Many did it because they loved the concept of two Great Presidents, one Republican, one Democrat, working together as one In many ways, a bipartisan relationship! All of this money, hundreds of millions

of dollars, will have to be immediately returned, or not received by the Center.

Elon Musk spent $290 million getting Trump elected. During this midterm cycle, he's spent $85 million. In total, that’s 0.0375% of his $1 trillion net worth. Oligarchs can rig the system at the expense of everyone else, and only spend pennies doing so. We must get Big Money out of politics.

Trump likes to point to what he did in Venezuela as a success. The thing I find strangest about that whole debacle is how little everyone else has to say about it. He kidnapped and arrested a foreign president and his wife. At the very least, we should be keeping track of what’s happening to them.

On Musk breaking GA law. www.theverge.com/tech/882838/...
For all his bluster about voter fraud, Elon Musk has been one of the most flagrant flouters of US election law. Now his America PAC has been slapped with a reprimand by the Georgia State Election Board for sending out pre-filled absentee ballot applications. State law prohibits anyone, other than an authorized relative, from sending an absentee ballot application prefilled with the elector’s information.

Residents of Chattooga, Cherokee, Coweta, Floyd, and Whitfield counties reported receiving absentee ballot applications from America PAC, partially pre-filled. According to the State Election Board, the applications also failed to note that they were not actual ballots and were not provided by the government, as is required by law.

At the State Election Board meeting on February 18th, the panel quickly handed down the reprimand. America PAC did not appear to send a representative or submit a statement in defense of its actions.

This is just the latest example of Musk testing the limits of election law after he repeatedly suggested paying people to sign a petition and register to vote in Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, and other swing states. It’s also another incident in which those who claim to be most concerned about election integrity have been caught potentially violating the law.
