How was a Nevada Republican with a 30-year mortgage on a $565,000 home able to loan his Congressional campaign $1.6 million? We don't know, because he has repeatedly failed to submit required financial disclosures that would illuminate his personal financial position.

David Flippo, who has reported funneling nearly $2.5 million to his campaigns, has repeatedly failed to file financial disclosure forms since 2023.

Trump’s attack on the free press is so transparent that we can all see through it. It’s not about national security, it’s about his inability to deal with criticism. Without a free press, we lose our ability to keep track of what our government is up to. joycevance.substack.com/p/consequenc...

Last Thursday, the White House, almost as soon as Judge Kelly entered his order forcing the administration to restore access to CNN, MSNOW, and Politico, began searching for play in the joints.

Yes, yes we are pushing back.
Publishers Push Back: The NYT, Chicago Tribune, and other publishers are asking a federal judge to disregard the Trump Justice Department’s defense of OpenAI in a landmark copyright case, suggesting the administration may have been influenced by “political and financial interests.” The move came after the DOJ filed a brief earlier this month backing OpenAI’s use of copyrighted news articles to train A.I. models qualifies as “fair use,” arguing that restricting A.I. development could hurt U.S. competitiveness. The publishers countered that the government’s position is separate from the copyright questions before the court. “By all measures, this Statement of Interest appears to be an effort to further enrich the world’s largest companies—and the Administration’s largest donors—while undermining this country’s free press,” a spokesperson for The NYT said in a statement.
