The disinformation cycle in real time. After Dems drop a trove of info, the next day we get some bogus Mortgage fraud allegations against rep Swalwell.
It’s one day after this intense scrutiny and information regarding Trumpstein.
All major influencer accounts, all similar message.

Every politician who ran on taxing billionaires has lost since I’ve been watching politics.What the Dems should take from Mamdani’s campaign, is that you’re running on affordable housing. Not Taxi billionaires. Billionaires pay for it, but he’s not running on that, & that’s what the Dems have missed

People are standing in line for food in Cleveland because of Donald Trump.

There was so much at stake in this election, TikTok, Tax Credits, Bitcoin regulation, and now this. Even the most moral republican prez from the past would have nixed this deal. This is a casualty of culture war. Mark my words.
Why has Dominion Voting Systems been settling defamation lawsuits with Trump allies who falsely claimed the company stole the 2020 election?
Because Dominion has just been bought by a company run by a former GOP election official.
Be warned.

Most corrupt president in the history of any country continues to profit everywhere possible. Somebody knew something, and that announcement about China tariffs was made for a reason. These are just two of dozens of examples that I’ve read about.

Make no mistake. This nonsense about Antifa is directly tied to the 2026 and 2028 elections. It’s the “crisis” they will use as justification to shut down key voting centers.
