There's a whole section on Brad Parscale's data harvesting of Free[e]dom250 registrations.
When an American registers to attend a Freedom 250 event—a celebration of
the nation’s 250th birthday paid in part by taxpayer dollars—the name, location, and
phone number they provide are deposited into a partisan data operation engineered
to profile, score, and target voters, run by Brad Parscale, the President’s longtime
digital strategist. The implications are far-reaching; a recent example includes the ticketing process to enter a free FIFA World Cup Fan Zone hosted by Freedom 250
on the national mall, marketed as a fan experience to bring Americans together
to watch the World Cup.271 Thousands of unwitting fans, including D.C. residents,
Americans visiting D.C. from other states, and international World Cup attendees
unwittingly gave their personal information to a partisan political entity, potentially
enabling future targeted marketing and campaign outreach by Republican
campaigns.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. — Sen. Marco Rubio acknowledged on Tuesday through a spokesperson that he met with indicted ex-Rep. David Rivera to discuss a potential deal to normalize relations between the United States and Venezuela — but didn’t know that his one-time friend and long-time political ally was working on behalf of strongman Nicolás Maduro.

Rubio’s dealings with Rivera emerged Monday night after federal authorities arrested and charged the former Miami lawmaker with eight criminal counts, including money laundering, conspiracy and failing to register as a foreign agent for work allegedly connected to the Maduro regime.

An unsealed indictment states that Rivera and an unnamed U.S. senator from Florida met in July 2017 in Washington to discuss a possible deal with Maduro in which the Venezuelan leader would agree to “hold free and fair elections in Venezuela.” The senator was not identified by name, but Rivera and Rubio have known each other for years and once owned a house together in Tallahassee.

Rivera and the senator first met to discuss Venezuela on July 9, 2017 at a private residence in D.C., according to the indictment The pair gathered three days later at a Washington hotel with several others, including an unidentified Venezuelan politician who attended the meeting by telephone, according to the indictment.

Democrats should ask: when residential natural gas prices are at their highest ever, why are we exporting a record amount? Why not use it to make energy more affordable here? The GOP has no answer for this; it contradicts everything they claim they're doing. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...
US liquefied natural gas exports are set to hit a record high this month, helping to tame prices in Asia and Europe as winter begins.

The US is expected to ship 10.7 million tons in November, according to predictive ship-tracking data from Kpler. That’s up roughly 40% from the same month last year, the data showed.EIA, U.S. price of natural gas, residential
