NEW:

Kamala Harris' 2019 financial report has dropped.

She reported over $270,000 in advance royalties from her book, "The Truths We Hold"—but the real juice is diving into where her millionaire lawyer husband, Doug Emhoff, parks his money.

Let's take a look, shall we? Image
As I said before, Kamala Harris pulled in $270,000+ in advance royalties from her book deal in 2019.

That's where a large bulk of her income came that year.

Now, let's look at some of their investments. ImageImage
Kamala Harris' husband, attorney Doug Emhoff, is a partner at global white-collar law/lobbyist firm DLA Piper—with whom he has a profit sharing agreement.

That means that a certain percent of every dime they make lobbying gets deposited into an account. That's problematic. Image
Emhoff has anywhere between $250,000-$500,000 invested in a Vanguard Value ETF.

This portfolio contains notable holdings in pharma and healthcare companies such as Johnson & Johnson, Pfizer, Merck, and United Health—along with institutions like JP Morgan and Berkshire Hathaway. ImageImageImage
Kamala Harris' husband also has another $250K—$500K parked in a Vanguard Growth Index Fund.

Notable holdings include tech industry giants Microsoft, Alphabet, Facebook, and Amazon—along with creditors like Visa and Mastercard. ImageImageImage
Emhoff has anywhere $100K-$250K invested in an iShares Core account.

Notable holdings include several pharmaceutical companies such as AstraZeneca, Novo Nordisk, and Novartis. ImageImageImage
Emhoff has up to $15,000 invested in a iShares Nasdaq Biotechnology fund, with notable holdings including Gilead Sciences, Amgen, and Biogen. ImageImageImage
Here's another $15,000 Harris' husband has parked in a Vanguard Industrials Index Fund, which is chock full of defense contractors like Raytheon, Northrop Grumman, Boeing, and Lockheed Martin. ImageImageImage
Here's another $15,000 a piece Emhoff has parked in Financial Sector and Health Care Sector SPDR funds.

Everything from Berkshire Hathaway to UnitedHealth is represented in those portfolios. ImageImageImage
The list wouldn't be complete without Harris' husband having up to $3OK in oil $ gas stocks.

His Energy and Utilities SPDR funds contain holdings in Chevron, Exxon, and Phillips 66 as well as Duke Energy, Dominion Energy, and Southern Co—all owners of the Atlantic Coast Pipeline ImageImageImage
Knowing this, remember:

Every time Kamala Harris comes out railing against big banks, big pharma, big oil, big healthcare—her and her husband's wealth are, in alot of ways, tied to those industries' success.
As far as Emhoff goes, I'd like to once again remind you that he's a partner at one of the biggest global law firms who make millions lobbying for companies like Raytheon and Blue Cross.

A percentage of every dime they make doing so goes into his pocket.

NEW: I dug into the top 50 political vendors (per @OpenSecretsDC) and found that over a dozen of them—including 2 of the top 5—cashed in on PPP loans.

Most of these companies have had tens of millions of dollars come their way this cycle.

My latest:
medium.com/@RobletoFire/t…
Buying Time LLC, ranked #2 of top political vendors, has had $222M pass through them this cycle ($430M+ since 2016), with $186M coming from Tom Steyer's Presidential committee.

They received a PPP loan worth up to $350,000
Rising Tide Interactive was another beneficiary of Steyer's run, with $77M of their $86M this cycle came from services related to his digital campaign.

Rising Tide was approved for a PPP loan for up to $1M, as was DSPolitical—another firm founded by RTI partner Eli Kaplan.

Whats up Twitter.

From time to time I feel it's necessary to just spout some thoughts and musings into the ether—to just float ideas into the universe.

This is one of those times.
Over the last few years, especially the past one, alot of people assume my position on many issues—which is natural, given my status and a fledgling independent journalist.

I figure this would be a good time to go through some of those issues.
First of all, I believe in creative, open discussion—which is kinda the purpose of this thread.

I don't have all the answers, but I do believe that discussion—even disagreements—are essential to progress.

BREAKING:

Sunrise Movement receives $250,000 from Soros Super PAC, Democracy PAC.

Soros Fund Management owns millions of dollars in oil/gas companies, including Energy Transfer Partners—owners of DAPL.

My @TheRokfin exclusive report:

rokfin.com/article/1351
Here's the original post that I broke, containing receipts. This donation appears to be a sharp turn in rhetoric for Sunrise, who have been hypercritical of tje billionaire class and their influence on politicians.
Putting aside the usual conspiracies, why is Soros money not a good look for an environmental group? Soros Fund Management owns stock in multiple pipeline companies—including over $2 Million in DAPL owners Energy Transfer, according to their latest 13F filing with the SEC.

Safariland is one of the largest tear gas & riot gear suppliers in the world.

They're financed in part by a joint venture between capital firms FS Investments and KKR.

FS executives, including their CEO and Executive Director, have donated approx. $25,000 to Joe Biden so far FEC filing showing CEO of FS Investments donating to Biden campaignScreen cap of various FS executives thar have donated to the Biden campaign
FS Investments have a PAC, of course, and though they've only raised a little over $115,000 they've managed to donate $15,000 each to:

—NRCC
—DSCC
—DCCC

Mitch McConnell's victory fund also got $10,000. FEC filings that list major FS PAC donations
Safariland's majority owner, Warren Kanders, was forced to resign from his position at the Whitney Museum last year.

Kanders still sits on the Advisory Board of Brown Universities Institute of Environment and Society.

NEW:

Tara McGowan, CEO of dark money group Acronym, has funnelled $3 Million in ad-buys from her Super PAC to her own business—Lockwood Strategy—since 09/2018.

PACRONYM has taken in over $9 Million this cycle from billionaire donors such as Soros, Sussman, and Katzenberg.
This is how Super PACs are turned into for-profit businesses:

1. Start a Super PAC

2. Start a digital ad company

3. Spend donations to Super PAC on purchasing digital ads from the company you own, so the donors' money is now in your pocket.

This is how the racket works.
You may have heard about Acronym recently—that's because they also own Shadow, the app that brought down the Iowa caucuses.

According to financial disclosures, Rep. Ro Khanna's many portfolios reflect numerous purchases of Pfizer ($87K—$430K) and Dupont ($23K—$170K), as well as multiple sales of Caesar's Entertainment stock ($15K—$235K) with transactions beginning around 2/24.
Many elected officials got into hot water for making big trades before the Covid-19 stock market plunge, including Sen. Kelly Loeffler.

Her recent purchases of Dupont, who makes protective equipment in high demand now, have come under scrutiny as well.
time.com/5814158/georgi…
According to disclosures, Rep. Ro Khanna and his multi-millionaire wife made several purchases of up to $170K of Dupont starting 2/24—just before the crash.

While Dupont's stock has suffered, it's recovering due to their services in relation to Covid 19.
