THE GRIFT GETS GREATER
Trump’s Nearly $2 Billion Postelection Windfall

Even though his campaign ended a year ago, the president hasn’t stopped fundraising (gift link to article below).

Thx to @jmsquilter.bsky.social for the heads up.
Screen grab from The Atlantic, Nov 18, 2025, article: Trump’s Nearly $2 Billion Postelection Windfall Even though his campaign ended a year ago, the president hasn’t stopped fundraising. By Michael Scherer and Ashley Parker Trump has kept careful track of the money coming in, regularly calling O’Rourke late at night for updates. He monitors who is giving, who is not, and the role of lobbyists who bundle donations, those familiar with his efforts told us. At times, the actual donation amount is less important to the president than the percentage of the donor’s overall assets. He thanks the most generous benefactors at swanky events at the White House and his clubs. Much of the money has come from people or entities that have business before the government. Defense contractors, cryptocurrency investors, and technology companies have put in tens of millions of dollars as he has deregulated the industry or dropped enforcement proceedings. A select group of companies and executives—Amazon, Lockheed Martin, Coinbase, Palantir CEO Alex Karp—are top donors to multiple Trump projects.

Hosted by Brady. In honor of John Lewis, our teach-in examines how systemic racism drives and sustains the crisis of gun violence in communities of color. Far from random, this violence is rooted in decades of policy decisions, from redlining and housing segregation to underfunded social services and unequal law enforcement. We will explore how these interconnected systems have created conditions where gun violence thrives, making it a powerful form of racial injustice, and dive into how President Trump’s policies and funding cuts have exacerbated these inequalities.

I understand why you're anti-platner. Your info is backward, however. Presenting facts accurately work more when hoping to convince others.

Constellis was 2018, 13 yrs *after* Abu Ghraib. He didn't work for them "in order to guard one of their infamous torture prisons." He was an embassy chauffeur.
Recent reports have verified details about Graham Platner’s military service. According to The New Yorker, Platner served with the U.S. Marine Corps in Iraq in 2005 and was stationed at Abu Ghraib prison during his deployment. The article states that he was on patrol at the facility when it came under attack. The incident occurred two years after the prisoner-abuse scandal that brought Abu Ghraib international attention. The report also specifies that Platner was not involved in any of those abuses. Graham Platner served with Constellis in 2018 for approximately six months. He worked on Kabul, Afghanistan, as a State Dept security contractor, providing security to the US ambassador. He left the position the same year, citing disillusionment with the military and foreign policy. To be clear, the record shows in multiple places his six months working as a contractor for Constellis was on a security detail for the Ambassador at the Embassy. He credits his time there for his disillusionment with the military. The Atlantic: When I talked to Platner about the Reddit posts, a pattern emerged: His most troubling messages seemed to come after he spent time overseas. The posts about sexual assault, for example, came in 2013, following his 2010–11 Afghanistan deployment and 2012 departure from the Army. Platner’s last spell in a combat zone was as a contractor working on the ambassador’s security detail in 2018. He described it as maybe his most disillusioning. He found the juxtaposition between the luxurious calm of embassy life and the reality of the war going on in the country beyond disturbing. “I’m watching people go into a swimming pool and eating,” he told me. “There are people out there, right now, fighting this fucking war. There are Afghans out there right now, getting their houses bombed and burned out. And you people are here, just fucking swimming?” He left after six months with a shoulder injury.
