Oh look, Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner is exactly as corrupt as we all know he is.
“More than $700 MILLION in transfers” — Saudi Arabia & UAE set up a multi-billion dollar slush fund for him.

If Jared Kushner wasn’t Trump’s son-in-law, and if the Trump family and admin weren’t inherently corrupt, he’d be under investigation for bribery, operating as an unregistered foreign agent, lying on disclosures, and money laundering.
This is what a corrupt oligarchy looks like.
The GRU hacked into Jared Kushner's iPhone. Dutch military intelligence (MIVD) then recruited a GRU spy who gave them access to the hacked phone. What MIVD discovered was that Kushner had access to two bank accounts --one Azerbaijani, the other Israeli --where Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman and Emirati ruler Mohammed bin Zayed deposited money. It sounds like a slightly far-fetched episode of "Slow Horses," but it's real. And it proves just how eye-poppingly corrupt this administration was and continues to be as its "special envoy" decides the fate of tens of millions in Europe in the Middle East. Simply incredible reporting by Matthew Cole, drawn from his new book on Kushner. vanityfair.com/story/jared-k…

Trump doesn't mind that Amy Acton's mother defended the man who raped her at 10.
Trump: Amy Acton's mother said horrible things about Amy Acton and I don't know why you're not allowed to broadcast it. That one ad should really win.
Q: What about what the daughter said about the mother?
Trump: I don’t know what she said.
Q: That the mother remained with the stepfather who sexually abused her.
Trump: When did she make that statement? Recently?
Q: Years ago.
Trump: I have no idea. All I know is, Amy Acton's mother said horrible things about Amy Acton. She’s fair game.

The context behind this is that Amy Acton's mother chose a rapist and pedophile over her own daughter, and that Donald Trump is also a rapist and pedophile.

And Hinson says God will deal with people who hurt children.
Ms Epstein Files doesnt believe in law and order.
@hinsonashley @zachnunn @zachlahn and @millermeeks all stand in support of a President who says it’s a great idea for a Republican candidate to use the rape of a little girl as “ political pay dirt.”
Ramaswamy is a POS. Any Republican who fails to publicly disavow him is too.

Iowa will be overrun by grifters, groypers, and grievance-mongers if Zach is elected. Gross.

More reporting suggesting that Musk does indeed have his finger on Starshield's operability. Quite a lot of power for a ketamine-addicted trillionaire in bed with hostile foreign regimes. You might even say this endangers U.S. national security. wsj.com/world/trump-called-m…

Todd Blanche won't rule out trying to block states from certifying their midterm results.
Asked whether the Trump DOJ might try to block a state from certifying results, Blanche said: "Yes. Of course there are scenarios that we could all come up with hypothetically. Some doomsday scenario, for example."

Let us be clear: We are already investigating Corey Lewandowski’s dealings at DHS. A Democratic Congress will build on that work and demand the records and his testimony under oath.
He will not get to hide behind this administration.
Exclusive: The Justice Dept. is examining allegations that Corey Lewandowski profited off his top position at the Department of Homeland Security on.wsj.com/4i904uj

This is FAR more dark than you realize…
We all knew Lindsey Graham was gay.
That’s not the problem.
The problem is he paid male escorts, including a minor, for sex, and was apparently filmed doing so.
That blackmail obviously ended up in the hands of foreign adversaries.

The spike next year was baked into the OBBB Republicans passed in 2025. They backloaded the shitty parts of it until AFTER the midterms but front loaded the debt and deficit exploding tax cuts. Would be helpful if you, you know, did journalism and explained that basic fact.
Premiums are expected to skyrocket for the fourth year in a row, and employees will likely pay more when they receive care, too. The increased costs will put an additional squeeze on Americans' already-tight budgets, adding to the nation's affordability crisis. cnn.it/488Apxi

Great sign for the Lahn campaign when you have to refer to your running mate's father as mentally unsound right before the election
The @ZachLahn campaign in response has accused Wulf's father of being mentally unsound: "Sadly, Derek’s father has experienced serious health and memory issues in recent years."

Threatening to withhold compensation from veterans and families harmed by Camp Lejeune's contaminated water based on how North Carolina votes?
These families have suffered enough. Their care and compensation should never be political bargaining chips.
This is beyond disgusting.

I know lots of people in Iowa who own small planes. The beef isn't that you have a plane. It's the fact you have to use the plane to commute back and forth between your home in Kansas and campaign stops in Iowa.
Rob’s supporters are commenting on this criticizing my ownership of a small plane, while overlooking him being the wealthiest candidate for IA Governor likely ever.
- $77m home in Aspen (recently sold)
- Private jets
- Family yacht
- Multimillion dollar home in NW Iowa
- $200k vehicles.
It is a derangement syndrome in its own class.
