"21 of 24 Democratic House Candidates Supported By Mike Bloomberg’s Independence USA Poised To Win Midterm Elections"

independenceusapac.org/News/democrati…
"Billionaire and former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg is giving an additional $10 million to support Democrat candidates in the midterm elections, bringing his total spending in the midterms to $110 million. Bloomberg donated the money to his super PAC, Independence USA."
"Michael Bloomberg plows $43 million in support of Democrats in the first half of October"

$4.5 million of Bloombox's money was put to Katie Hill's campaign, no wonder she won't leave the media.
"Michael Bloomberg’s Secret Plans to Take Down Trump"

January 31, 2019

theatlantic.com/politics/archi…
"A group of about 10 political and tech consultants meets every Thursday, usually in the converted Upper East Side mansion that is the headquarters of Bloomberg’s foundation and private offices."
"Discussions are led by Bloomberg’s top political aides, Kevin Sheekey and Howard Wolfson, as well as Brynne Craig, Hillary Clinton’s 2016 deputy field director and, for the past two years, a senior adviser to Bloomberg’s Everytown for Gun Safety group."
"Patti Harris, who was Bloomberg’s No. 2 in City Hall and remains a trusted adviser, joins for some of the meetings. Bloomberg is briefed separately by Sheekey and Wolfson, without the outside consultants. The meetings have been going on for months..."
"Much of the thinking is informed by Bloomberg’s experience in the 2018 midterms, when he spent more than $100 million to become the single biggest Democratic donor, winning in 21 of the 24 races where his Independence USA PAC got directly involved."
"Scoop: Michael Bloomberg becomes House Dems' $100 million man"

Just in case you wanted to know if the live-action Mulan movie was going to be shit, you have an answer:
Just watch Mulan. Li Shang sang the best song in the entire movie, "I'll Make a Man Out of You", and then they got rid of him because "ME TOO".

Absolute stupidity.
"We're making a live-action remake of the Hunchback of Notre Dame but we don't want to offend anyone so we've removed all the characters."

"Bloomberg News Is Said to Curb Articles That Might Anger China"

November 8, 2013

nytimes.com/2013/11/09/wor…
"On the line 12 time zones away in New York was their boss, Matthew Winkler, the longtime editor in chief of Bloomberg News. And they were frustrated by what he was telling them."
"The investigative report they had been working on for the better part of a year, which detailed the hidden financial ties between one of the wealthiest men in China and the families of top Chinese leaders, would not be published."

"Uighurs make up close to 90 percent of the population in the south, compared to just under half in #Xinjiang over all, and Mr. Xi set a long-term goal of attracting more Han Chinese settlers."

"[#Xi] & other party leaders ordered a quasi-#military organization, the #Xinjiang Production & Construction Corps [#XPCC], to accelerate efforts to settle the area with more #HanChinese, the docs show."

It’s telling of the conservative hostility to truth that it’s quickly becoming “known” in right wing circles that the New York Times “retracted” the Kavanaugh story. You know, even though you can literally go right to the page right now and see it: nytimes.com/2019/09/14/sun…
“The New York Times retracted a story you can literally click on and read in full right now” is further evidence that conservatives have crossed into claiming the sun rises in the west territory.
But of course, this is more evidence that "facts" and "truth" are irrelevant to conservatives. They lie shamelessly, because they don't want to just come and admit they think certain men are entitled to get away with sexual assault. salon.com/2019/09/16/rep…

For a year, I dove into a dark corner of Facebook and Instagram, where con artists impersonate American servicemen to scam vulnerable women.

To illustrate the fraud's personal toll, I followed one scam, from Florida to Nigeria. Here is that tragic story.

While I reported this story, a New York Times film crew followed me. The result was a special one-hour episode of The Times's new TV show, @TheWeekly, that aired last night on FX. It is now on Hulu.

If you haven't seen it, then beware: Spoilers ahead.

The Republican tax bill looks like it was written by Donald Trump’s accountants and tax lawyers, and I’m not even joking. 1/
It would be hard to design a tax plan more friendly to billionaire real estate magnates like the Trumps and Kushners of the world. 2/
Where to begin? How about the “Trump Loophole” – the special low tax rate for wealthy “passthrough” owners. (Sec. 1004 of the bill.) 3/
