Elon Musk is spending $158 million on Ken Paxton’s campaign. That’s more than the Make-A-Wish Foundation's annual revenue. Some people grant wishes to kids fighting serious illnesses. Other people bankroll a crooked pol whose make-a-wish was partying in Dubai with 2 fugitives from fraud charges.

Donors of $333 million to the ballroom include "contributors who have benefited from regulatory decisions, government contracts and, in one case, a pardon for a family member." From @washingtonpost.com wapo.st/4yiUDPx

The records offer a panoramic view of a fundraising campaign that is extraordinary for its size and opacity.

Actually, Trump’s blanket pardons for 1,600 insurrectionists who tried to overthrow our democracy by violence on Jan 6th shows the world how America deals with terrorists and scum.

In a communist system, the government owns the means of production. The Cato Institute is tracking how the Trump regime is steadily acquiring shares of private companies, taking ownership of the means of production.

This tool tracks every deal announced by the US government to acquire an equity stake in a private US company, including the terms of each deal and primary source documents, if any.

Can someone ask CBS News why Ted Koppel said that "Bannon's technically correct; they didn't have standing" in the 60+ cases Trump and his allies lost in 2020. This is verifiably false and is a GOP talking point. Many/most of the cases Trump lost were on the merits. Do they not fact check at CBS?

Mamdani: "What you could see in the videos is bystanders outside unsure as to what they were even seeing. Because in that imagery, it feels as if you’re almost looking at a mass shooter as opposed to seeing someone who’s purportedly representing a federal agency."
