Did Trump Commit Illegal Stock Manipulation and Insider Trading Prior to His Tariff Cave-In? www.newscorpse.com/ncWP/?p=65929

HUGE turnout in Ballwin, MO! The initial count was 1486 people and another 600+ people showed up after the count. I am in awe that over 2000 people joined together in the cold rain to stand up for our country. We were very close to Wagner’s office.😉 Thank you to EVERYONE who helped and showed up!

You can’t claim to care about public health or education while yanking $255 million from Missouri communities midstream. That money was already at work—supporting health clinics, school ventilation upgrades, and basic services families rely on. This isn’t cleanup. It’s sabotage

Name yr least favorite House GOPer from an under R-10 district and they voted to make it harder for the House to stop Trump's tariff Heaven's Gate. It was in the CR! Impeachment Mike Lawler. Every member of the NY delegation. All the ones in CA. and under R-10 includes a lot. They all voted for it.

Congratulations to Susan Crawford for winning the Wisconsin Supreme Court race! Elon Musk tried to buy the election. And the people knew. That’s one reason Crawford won decisively. Elon Musk’s greatest asset—money—has now becomes his greatest liability in elections.

The GOP fought tooth & nail for decades against classifying acts of racial terrorism as federal hate crimes because they saw it as "federal over reach." Now they're all "ooh, let's make it a federal crime to vandalize cars built by the world's richest man who's also our biggest campaign donor."

DOGE/Musk preferentially cancelled grants and contracts to recipients in counties that voted for Harris in 2024. Among cancellations with election data available, 92.9% and 86.1% cancelled grants and contracts went to Harris counties, representing 96.6% and 92.4% of total dollar amounts.

Are you that discontented DOGE staffer? It might be time. You can reach out to me on Signal at joshtpm.99 (I'm not like Mike Waltz; I know how to use it.) You can also get me at joshtpm at protonmail dot com. Are you a federal worker with information I need to hear? I want to hear from you too.

Unidentified men grabbing someone off the street and putting her in a car because she wrote an op-Ed. This as flatly authoritarian as anything we’ve seen in this country in a very long time.

Being snatched off the street for your opinions. I'll say it again. We are deciding, right now, whether the aspirations we hold for this country are finished. Whether we're going to let these hoodlums and grifters throw what's left of the American idea into the garbage for their own profit and gain.

No idea how this turns out. But if this poll is even in the ballpark, given the dynamics of a low turnout election in the midst of an un-sated out-party backlash an election like this is totally, totally doable. Again, obvs, no guarantees. But doable? Absolutely.
