1/ Big welcome to healthcare reporting sleuth @leonardkl, who today officially joined @BusinessInsider's new D.C. Bureau. businessinsider.com/author/kimberl…
2/ @leonardkl makes eight in the @BusinessInsider D.C. Bureau, which opened this spring. She joins @dsamuelsohn @elvina_nawaguna @tomlobianco @KaylaEpstein @rbravender @TinaSfon and yrs truly.
3/ The @BusinessInsider D.C. Bureau's mandate: produce original enterprise and investigative reporting that takes you inside the nation's biggest decisions, debates and fights. Like this, today, from @leonardkl: businessinsider.com/seema-verma-ru…
4/ On Friday, @rbravender @dsamuelsohn and I went deep into the nightmarish scenarios of an undecided 2020 election — and explained by Florida 2020 could be the new Florida 2000. (Just a lot worse.) businessinsider.com/election-biden…
5/ On Saturday, @tomlobianco scooped that the Trump campaign has kicked most campaign staffers off Air Force One. businessinsider.com/trump-campaign…
6/ Last week, @KaylaEpstein & @elvina_nawaguna revealed just how little some @GOP lawmakers like talking smack—or talking at all—about QAnon, as they walk a decidedly weird line between not supporting the conspiracy theory & not alienating its adherents. businessinsider.com/qanon-republic…
7/ @TinaSfon went deep on @JoeBiden's debate strategy businessinsider.com/biden-trump-fi…
8/ You'll notice that most of our stuff is part of @BusinessInsider's premium subscription service, BI Prime. Two good options: 1.) Click any of these stories & do a 30-day trial for a buck. 2.) DM me your email address and I'll send you a *very* generous friends/family discount.

1/ Appears that the @ALTAonline political action committee is the latest PAC to get hit in a string of thefts.

Per new @FEC filing:
2/ Dozens of PACs and other political committees fell victim to theft during the 2019-2020 election cycle. businessinsider.com/biden-campaign…
3/ The @GOP's Republican National Committee endured this bizarre situation — and wasn't exactly forthcoming about it until months after the 2020 election. businessinsider.com/republican-nat…

1/ @BusinessInsider has found yet another member of Congress who's violated a federal transparency law designed to defend against conflicts of interest. This time, it's @RepBlakeMoore, R-Utah. businessinsider.com/rep-blake-moor…
2/ In January, @SenFeinstein, D-Calif., was months late disclosing tens of thousands of dollars in trades by her husband. businessinsider.com/dianne-feinste…
3/ In March, @BusinessInsider revealed that Rep. Tom @Malinowski, D-N.J., failed to disclose dozens of stock trades during 2020, including a flurry of them as the COVID-19 pandemic gripped the nation. businessinsider.com/tom-malinowski…

1/ A year ago, people across the United States & Canada were performing all sorts of wacky trick shots in honor of @ChrisSnowCGY — and to raise serious cash ($439,906) for ALS research and new treatments.

Today's as good a day as any to give: nhl.com/flames/fans/sn…
2/ @ChrisSnowCGY was diagnosed with a rare form of ALS two years ago. We all expected to be attending Chris' funeral within a year. Two years on, Chris is more alive than most of us could ever hope to be. Here's him this month on @CBSSunday:
3/ As @globemartyk recently noted, "Chris continues to work every day. He has learned to throw with his left hand, so he can pitch batting practice to Cohen, who is now nine." theglobeandmail.com/sports/hockey/…

1/ Since Donald Trump left the White House on Jan. 20, @BusinessInsider has been tracking the diaspora of his top lieutenants and aides. Today, we released a searchable database of where they've all landed. businessinsider.com/trump-white-ho…
2/ It's not easy out there for some Trump alumni. Many corporations won't employ alumni of Trump's White House, so they're building a 'dumb cash' MAGA ecosystem instead, report @cryanbarber and @tomlobianco businessinsider.com/trump-alumni-m…
3/ Other Trump alumni — Cabinet members, in particular — are living their best lives in the months since they left the MAGA fold, report @rbravender and @leonardkl businessinsider.com/trump-cabinet-…

1/ A Trump fundraising triple bait-and-switch, unpacked.

This morning, Trump’s campaign sent this text message. It would appear, in a plain reading of it, that any money you donate would go toward ongoing efforts to overturn Election 2020 results.
2/ But click on the Trump fundraising text link, & you get nothing about the presidential election. Instead, you get a solicitation for the “GEORGIA ELECTION FUND,” referring, of course, to the two runoffs in Georgia that will determine the Senate’s balance of power in 2021-2022.
3/ OK, so you’re helping elect Republican senators in Georgia and preserving a Senate majority, not helping Trump fight. Tomato, tomahto.

One problem: Your donation isn’t going to the Georgia runoff.

It’s mostly going to a new Trump political committee called “Save America.”
