  1. Ted Johnson @HalfHeartedFanatic ·

    13 Chinese online scam centers in Madagascar shut down. Damn!

    The American DOJ can still do shit when it wants to. Now do Trump Crypto.

  2. Acting AG #ToddBlanche said in announcing the fund in a statement that it was “a lawful [nope] process for victims of lawfare & weaponization to be heard & seek redress.”

    #Democrats & #government #watchdogs immediately pledged to fight what they called a #corrupt & unprecedented resolution, warning that the arrangement would unjustly enrich people close to the president with #TaxpayerMoney & open the door to meritless claims of political persecution.

  3. US #Commerce Secy Howard Lutnick claims to have already sold 1,000 "gold cards" for $5 million per card.

    The thing is, there is no #GoldCard. It doesn't exist. So he is just reporting that people are willing to give #Trump $5 million for.... (wink wink) "nothing"

  4. But on Thurs, the #Trump #CFPB dropped several complaints against financial institutions, including the ones for #CapitalOne & #RocketHomes.

    “We welcome the CFPB’s decision to dismiss this action, which we strongly disputed,” a spokesperson for Capital One said in an emailed statement.
    
In a statement, Rocket Homes said: “This case was a misrepresentation of the facts, as we have said from the day the suit was filed.”

  5. A month earlier, the #CFPB filed a lawsuit against #RocketHomes Real Estate, alleging that the company incentivized real estate brokers & agents to steer home buyers to #RocketMortgage.

    “At a time when #homeownership feels out of reach for so many, companies should not illegally block competition in ways that drive up the cost of #housing,” said then-CFPB Dir Rohit Chopra in announcing the action.

    One of #ElonMusk’s closest friends, a #billionaire co-founder of #Airbnb, is taking a role in #Trump’s admin to help Musk carry out his drive to slash the federal bureaucracy….

    #JoeGebbia, Airbnb co-founder, is a board member at Tesla who lives in Austin, where Musk, …keeps a large compound. He is planning to start shortly as part of Musk’s team, called #DOGE….

  7. THIS. IS. HORRIFYING. 😱

    A review of some of the "highly trained professionals" #ElonMusk put in charge of (and gave access to) some of our most highly sensitive Government Computer Systems are a bunch of kids who'd never pass a Background Check. #Racist #Felon #Hackers #DogeBags #BigBalls #Kleptocracy #FireMusk

  8. #ElonMusk’s reactionary #anger was fueled, too, by the decision of one of his children to #transition; he later said that he had been “tricked” into authorizing #gender-affirming #care for her.

    #Musk had left the dinner at #Peltz’s house dissatisfied…. He had started talking privately to #Lonsdale, who was a member of his new friend group in Texas, & a few others about how he might take matters into his own hands.

  9. #Peltz, who was 81 at the time & made his fortune via junk bonds & leveraged buyouts, had gathered some traditional high rollers, including the hedge-fund manager #JohnPaulson & the Las Vegas casino #tycoon #SteveWynn, as well as #RonnaMcDaniel, then the chair of the #RNC. He had also invited #ElonMusk.

  10. There were plenty of people in the room who had publicly disavowed #Trump after the #Jan6 #insurrection at the Capitol — #Peltz among them — but it was pretty clear now that he was going to be the candidate, & it was time to get onboard & figure out how to help him win. There were a lot of problems. An especially uncomfortable one was that a lot of donor money was going to paying Trump’s mounting #legal bills rather than building a serious political campaign.

  11. #AldinRoss made no effort to sound or appear #impartial. His questions set up #Trump to complain about everything from supposed liberal bias in schools —"Even the teachers have been brainwashed” Trump said — & border security (tho, unusually, Trump did not mention Hannibal Lecter). Trump…praised Ross as an “outstanding" young man, predicted that the livestream would break viewership records…🙄

  12. More than half a million concurrent viewers were tuned in to streamer #AdinRoss' Kick channel on Monday afternoon to watch an interview w/ #Trump at his Mar-a-Lago residence in Palm Beach, Florida. In addition to hearing the #GOP presidential nom rant about some of his favorite topics, they also saw Trump receive 2 expensive, potentially #illegal gifts from Ross: a gold #Rolex & a custom-wrapped #Cybertruck.

    My dream social media platform. What do you think, what are the most interesting ideas, what other features would you like to see, how would be your perfect social media platform?

  14. They’ll fail just as badly in Judge #Chutkan’s court if not worse than every other #court that already found the cases #meritless & #frivolous.

    But they will force us to suffer their foolery anyway.
