Mike Lindell, recovering crack cocaine addict and presumptive GOP nominee to be governor of Minnesota, turns out to be a citizen and resident of Texas, who registered to vote, and actually voted, there. Which means he has committed voter fraud. www.startribune.com/mike-lindell...

One big, cruel grift bankrolled by some the worst men - and a reminder that all education is political.
STRIDE, ALSO KNOWN AS K12, INC., is a $2 billion online education company that reportedly served 220,000 students in 31 states last year. Former McKinsey & Co. consultant Ron J. Packard founded the company in 2000 with $40 million in venture capital backing from Oracle’s Larry Ellison and junk bond king Michael Milken, among others.

Posting a criticism of Charlie Kirk - much less noting something outrageous he himself said - is not “celebrating” his murder. Nor is it condoning his murder. It is simply saying that his political career and legacy are not something to be celebrated. And that is not the same thing at all.

The Trumps' World Liberty Financial project has frozen WLFI tokens in wallet addresses belonging to Justin Sun that contain ~$100 million (on paper) in unlocked WLFI. Sun is a major backer of the project, which the Trumps say they founded to stop "debanking".

And yet there was a moment right before the assault on Senator Padilla that was even more disturbing. These are the comments that pushed him to identify himself as a senator and interrupt her:

The Department of Homeland Security and the officers and the agencies and the departments and the military people that are working on this operation will continue to sustain and increase our operations in this city. We are not going away. We are staying here to liberate this city from the socialists and the burdensome leadership that this governor and that this mayor had placed on this country and what they have tried to insert into the city.

That really gives away the endgame here. These raids aren't about catching dangerous criminals or even enforcing immigration laws with deportations of undocumented laborers looking for work in a Home Depot parking lot. They're about punishing the political opponents of Donald Trump.

The New York City Comptroller says Elon Musk and the DOGE team raided New York City’s bank accounts and illegally clawed back $80 million in federal funding.
New York, NY - New York City Comptroller Brad Lander released the following statement:
"This morning, my financial team shockingly uncovered that President Trump and his crony Elon Musk illegally executed a revocation of $80 million in congressionally-appropriated FEMA funding from New York City's bank accounts late yesterday afternoon. This is money that the federal government previously disbursed for shelter and services and is now missing. This highway robbery of our funds directly out of our bank account is a betrayal of everyone who calls New York City home.
