1. 62 corporate landlords who have received taxpayer bailouts intended to blunt the economic impact of the pandemic are pursuing evictions despite a federal moratorium, a Popular Information investigation reveals

popular.info/p/these-62-lan…
2. These 62 corporate landlords have received more than $60 million in PPP loans.

The CDC's eviction moratorium went into place on September 1.

Since September 1, the 62 corporate landlords have filed at least 494 new eviction cases

popular.info/p/these-62-lan…
3. The corporate landlords are attempting to exploit a weakness in the federal moratorium. It is not self-executing. Tenants must assert their rights. The landlords know that most tenants (90%) don't have lawyers.

4. We've published the full list of all 62 corporate landlords who are engaged in this behavior.

1. Paramount's hostile takeover bid for Warner Bros exposes Jared Kushner's game

It's not a private equity fund. It's an influence peddling operation.

It's spelled out on page 42 of Paramount's new SEC filing.

popular.info/p/kushner-and-…
2. Paramount says its hostile takeover bid is structured to avoid review by the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS)

Even though the Saudis and other Middle Eastern governments are putting up $24 BILLION -- most of the equity financing.
3. Paramount says they've avoided any regulatory hurdles because Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and Abu Dhabi have voluntarily agreed to waive their governance rights. And one other party has agreed to waive governance rights: JARED KUSHNER. Image

1. Kushner's trip to Moscow yesterday was not just unethical; it was illegal.

You cannot accept millions from foreign governments and simultaneously conduct diplomacy for the U.S.

It's right in the Constitution.

popular.info/p/kushners-mos…
2. Kushner is trying to evade legal restrictions by not accepting a formal role in the administration.

But the DOJ is clear: It's not what you SAY, it's what you DO

Kushner is acting like a Special Government Employee so legally, he's a SGE
3. Kushner is engaged in activities that can ONLY be conducted by government officials. The Logan Act bars private citizens from engaging in negotiations w/foreign governments w/o authorization. Kushner is acting under Trump’s direction, and that creates a host of legal issues.

1. In Tennessee, public libraries have closed for a week to facilitate a Trump-inspired book purge

Tennessee's Secretary of State ordered most of the state's public librarians to remove children's books w/LGBTQ characters

popular.info/p/tennessee-pu…
2. Hargett has cited Trump's executive order “Defending Women from Gender Ideology Extremism." Executive orders are not federal law and generally do not apply to state or local governments.

Tennessee libraries do receive some federal funding, but not for book purchases.
3. In the letters, Hargett singled out a children’s book called Fred Gets Dressed by Peter Brown. The book, which was written by a straight, cisgender man, does not feature any LGBTQ characters. It is based on a childhood experience of the author in which he tried on his mom's clothes.Image

1. An abrupt decision by the Trump administration on October 3 left thousands of ICE detainees without access to vital medical care — a crisis that is ongoing — according to previously unreported ICE documents.

🧵

popular.info/p/exclusive-ho…
2. For 2 decades, the VA played a limited but essential role in ensuring that people in the custody of ICE received necessary medical care. When an ICE detainee needed medication or outside medical treatment, the VA processed the claims. ICE paid the VA to provide this service.
3. On October 3, the VA “abruptly and instantly terminated” its agreement w/ICE, according to partially redacted documents.

The termination left ICE with “no mechanism to provide prescribed medication” and unable to “pay for medically necessary off-site care.”
