Helpful reminder from @tzimmer_history
"In a stable, functioning democracy, citizens would not have to constantly grapple with the potential demise of the Republic or invest significant mental resources into compartmentalizing and ignoring the political surroundings in order to get on with their everyday burdens and responsibilities."

#Trump keeps telling people they won't need to vote after the #2024Election.
What does he mean?
"Trump told Believers Summit attendees... a #conservative political advocacy group. “I’m a #Christian. I love you. Get out, you gotta get out and vote. In four years, you don’t have to #vote again, we’ll have it #fixed so good you’re not going to have to vote.”"

Coinbase Chief Legal Officer Paul Grewal weighed in on my reporting about the company’s apparent campaign finance violations, arguing that Coinbase is not a federal contractor.
I have updated the article to include his comments, and I’ve also noted that this argument does not seem to square with the law.
The article, with these updates, is here: https://citationneeded.news/coinbase-campaign-finance-violation/
More to come soon.

Coinbase appears to have violated campaign finance laws with a $25 million super PAC donation
Actively involved in contract negotiations with a federal government agency, Coinbase was likely prohibited from making its $25 million contribution to the Fairshake crypto super PAC in May 2024.Molly White (Citation Needed)

Ever since #TFG started running for #POTUS, I've been amazed about one thing about him:
Despite the plethora of lies that come out of his mouth and fingers, how often he did say with impunity what he was about to do. And then actually did it.
#Fascism and #Totalitatanism CAN and WILL happen if #TFG is in the WH again after #Jan6, 2025.
It almost did happen during WWII. A chapter not taught in

“But we have to ask ourselves, why are they coming home? I think it’s because bad guys all over the world recognize Donald #Trump’s about to be back in office, so they’re cleaning house,” #Vance said. “That’s a good thing. I think it’s a testament to Donald Trump’s strength.” [huh?]
The Ohio senator isn’t making any sense here.

#JDVance’s initial reaction to the news began *normally* [for him], in an interview w/CNN’s Steve Contorno.
“Look, I think it’s great news, at least what little we know. We certainly want these Americans to come back home. It was ridiculous that they were in prison to begin with,” the #Republican VP nom said, before going in a completely different direction.

After #POTUS Joe #Biden on Thurs announced a deal to free American #hostages in Russia, #Vance somehow tried to give Trump the credit.

#SimoneBiles Trolls #Trump:
‘I Love My #BlackJob 🖤’
Trump’s #racist warning that immigrants are stealing “#BlackJobs” was thrown neatly back at him on Friday by the country’s biggest Olympic star, gymnast Simone Biles.
Biles won her 6th Olympic #gold medal on Thurs, sealing her reputation as the greatest gymnast of all time.
