imagine inheriting wealth from the last gilded age of oligarchy and cutting Trump $130 million walking around money checks instead of funding libraries and universities like your ancestors had the shame to
If I’m recalling correctly, Timothy Mellon was the only MAGA donor who surpassed Elon Musk in 2024. He dropped $50m on a pro-Trump super PAC the day after Trump was convicted of dozens of felonies last year. God only knows what that has bought him.

Bill Barr has personally seen the Epstien files, in his testimony before congress today.
He said Trump is not in it. [He made sure of it.]
This is not the first time he's lied under oath and walked away.

When you publish a website that posts the names and photos of scholars who have written or said things you disagree with and encourage people to surveil and harass them, you are not, in fact, a “free speech” organization.
It is quite simply dishonest to describe TPUSA as a “free speech” organization and not even mention the “Professor Watchlist,” as NPR just did. Reporting on a crime does not entail adopting the victim’s views.
