Is this legal?. Musk’s “America PAC” is running ads telling people it will help them register to vote. But if they live in a swing state, it collects their address, cell phone number, and age, and then tells them thank you. It never registers them; only harvests their data.
NEW: Billionaire Elon Musk has created a PAC collecting voter data from those living in key states through an online "register to vote" form that does not directly register people to vote. All of this in an effort to help Donald Trump become president.

To the people of Dallas and the 30th district of TX: Thank you for sending this woman to Congress.
Crockett: To be clear, whatever happens to your little leader it is going to be because of the actions he took so you can talk all you want to about how January 6 was nonsense but all of you are running at that time. You all were grabbing gas masks.

Gorsuch doesn’t get enough coverage for being an extremist. And a terrible human being. At the height of Covid, Justice Kagan, in a high risk group, had to stay home because Gorsuch insisted on sitting right beside her with no mask. Roberts asked him to mask. He refused.
NEW: Gorsuch waves caution flag at Biden #SCOTUS overhaul plan. "I'd just say: Be careful," the Trump-appointed justice tells Fox. Also refuses, in NYT interview, to address Kagan's endorsement of enforcement mechanism for ethics code

This is a big deal. The ranking member on the House Judiciary Committee is asking Merrick Garland and the DOJ IG to investigate the laundering of foreign disinformation into DOJ investigations - at the direction of Bill Barr. Exactly what I’ve been saying for 3 years.
Today, I'm urging AG Garland and DOJ IG Michael Horowitz to investigate former U.S. Attorney Scott Brady for providing false or misleading testimony to @HouseJudiciary during a transcribed interview in October.

I want to remind everyone that Peter Thiel, one of the people who pushed Musk to buy Twitter, is being sued for his role in covering up the Cambridge Analytica data harvesting/microtargeting scandal as a FB board member. So it’s worth asking what Elon is doing with this data.

Remember that Donald Trump has reportedly been talking to Bibi to try to delay the hostage release, to benefit his reelection.
🚨The heads of the security and intelligence services have been urging Netanyahu for months to reach a deal to secure the release of the hostages. "We warned Netanyahu & the cabinet ministers about this exact scenario but they wouldn't listen," a senior Israeli official told me.

Wow. Look what a District Court Judge in North Carolina just said about the SCOTUS immunity decision. Unprompted. This case was completely unrelated.
It's probably a big deal that a trial court judge is calling out #SCOTUS for "eschewing historical analysis [& seeking to] fundamentally. redesign the relationship between the sovereign people & the 1st citizen of the Republic)" in an opinion that just came out, right?.

Clarence Thomas news:. The Senate Finance Committee found another Harlan Crow trip he hasn’t disclosed. This one was round trip from Hawaii to New Zealand for a week. This happened 10 months after Citizens United - after Crow gave Ginni $500k to start her dark money group.
The timing is interesting. With $550K from Harlan Crow, Ginni Thomas founded what may have been the very first dark money group with Leonard Leo, Liberty Central, in late 2009 -- weeks or months *before* the Citizens United ruling. Leo registered it in VA *one week* before CU.

🚨 Prosecutors admit that the entire Biden Burisma story was Russian disinformation. For years, Republicans have been using lies from a Russian agent to frame the Biden family for things they did not do. Smirnov met with Russian agents as recently as Nov, 2023.
Prosecutors seek to detain Smirnov saying:. The "misinformation he is spreading is not confined to 2020. He is actively peddling new lies that could impact US elections after meeting with Russian intelligence officials in November."

In June, 2016, we learned that Russian intelligence had hacked the DNC. It was laundered through Wikileaks, the GOP went wild with it, and the media followed them. July, 2024: Trump campaign gets hacked. Politico sits on it for 3 weeks. Trump claims it’s Iran. Different huh.
NEWS: Trump’s campaign says it has been hacked. The acknowledgment came after POLITICO began receiving emails from an anonymous account with documents from inside Trump’s operation, including a dossier on JD Vance.

The line at the polling place just off William & Mary’s campus is out the door and only growing. Most important thing about the line: it’s all young people who are registering to vote today — this doesn’t even include the line of students who were pre-registered!

I don’t think people are taking this seriously because it sounds so crazy. It isn’t a joke. It’s not a fake outrage story; it’s not hyperbole. Trump - and the Republican Party - are seriously planning to deploy troops into your town to round up immigrants and put them in camps.
In other words, anyone who thinks Trump is just blustering when he pledges to round up millions of people, put them in camps & then deport them is deluding themselves. If he wins, you can bank that deportation at a scale unmatched in US history is coming.

Jack Smith indicted Trump under a Reconstruction/KKK era statue, charging him in a Conspiracy Against Rights, specifically for trying to disenfranchise majority black populations of their right to have their vote counted. He’s doing it again here. Should be supporting evidence.
Trump: The most important part of what is coming up is to guard the vote, and you should go into Detroit, Philadelphia, and some of these places, Atlanta, and you should go into some of these places, and we have to watch those votes.
