The Trump campaign accounting for up to 3% of ALL CREDIT CARD FRAUD CLAIMS IN THE ENTIRE UNITED STATES is the craziest stat I’ve even seen in politics.

Officials at multiple financial institutions who dealt with complaints estimated WinRed was, at peak, 1-3% of volume — a figure confirmed by one of the nation’s larger credit-card issuers. That's huge, considering size of U.S. credit card economy.

SCOOP: Kyrsten Sinema is quietly pitching donors on a “path to victory” as an independent Senate candidate in 2024. A 2-page prospectus maps out how she “Will Win Arizona”—with a larger share of GOP voters than Dems. Clear she’s actively weighing a run.
