Incredible. Trump drags the reputation of a highly regarded economist, first Black woman to be a Fed gov, thru the mud claiming she committed mortgage fraud. But the documents his appointee to run Fannie & Freddie got for him & that he said showed fraud don’t actually say that.
The mortgage fraud claim against Lisa Cook is false, per documents obtained by Reuters.
Bill Pulte's accusation, the sole pretext Trump used to fire her from the Fed, was that she claimed two homes as primary residence.
These docs show she did not.

Opinion | As a Republican senator who likes to invoke Reagan, I know America can't afford to have a Russian asset running our national intelligence. But it also can't afford for me to have a primary challenger. Therefore, I will be voting for Tulsi Gabbard as DNI.

The Trump administration has placed two top security chiefs at the U.S. Agency for International Development on leave after they resisted turning over classified material in restricted areas to Elon Musk’s staffers. America, please stand with us—we are fighting to defend this country!

The egg price crowd has been awfully quiet since the price of eggs nearly doubled on Trump's watch-- and the price of just about everything else is set to rise in the coming days and weeks.

It’s pretty insane that a private citizen can come in, hijack federal government servers, fire people, and steal their PII.

It’s important to know that a lot of productive activity is happening in person and offline, too.
Not all of it can be broadcast online, but we’ve had hundreds of people showing up to our trainings, mobilizations, and more.
Keep going. Tyranny is eroded by a sea of small acts. Everything matters.

All of this while the GOP is all in on enabling Trump-Musk, Klobuchar is singing from the Kumbaya Hymnal, Jeffries is making baseball analogies to excuse Dem inaction, and Schumer is, well, Schumer. Any chance that Congress Leaders are working behind scenes to unify, to proceed against Trump-Musk?

4/ who they are, whether they’re even American citizens. They all seem to be Thiel and Musk protégés. And I’ve had multiple references to their refusing to identify themselves by anything but first name. The rationale given is that they could be doxed.
