Trump's top nominee for RBG's replacement, #AmyConeyBarrett, was a member of the #Federalist Society from 2005 to 2006, and again from 2014 to 2017. Why? See this thread #SupremeCourt #supremecourtnominee #RBG #SCOTUSnominee #SCOTUSAmyConeyBarrett
Federalist Society for Law and Public Policy Studies is behind many of Trump’s judicial nominees, including Kavanaugh. Leonard Leo, Executive Vice President, served as an outside adviser to Trump on the Supreme Court and related judicial selection and confirmation issues.
Leo supported the confirmation of Neal Gorsuch to the Supreme Court and the Roberts and Alito U.S. Supreme Court confirmations in 2005–2006 & raised $15 mn+ from donors like Koch Industries, the Mercer Family Foundation.
Leo’ BH Group donated $1 million to the Trump inauguration in a form of a check, publicly described as anonymous. More here: medium.com/@ZarinaZabrisk…

#HumanSafari 🧵: A new Russian military tactic:

🔸 Small drones hunt civilians
🔸 Drop explosives, incendiary devices, banned mines, propaganda
🔸 Target homes, infrastructure, resources
🔸 Goals: Create "gray zones", sow panic, train pilots

The history of coverage, reports:
I published the first report about #HumanSafari in Kherson in @BylineTimes on 29 July 2024.

The residents reported several attacks a day, referring to it as #HumanSafari and #HuntForHumans.

⚡Trump’s presidency might put at risk Ukraine’s sovereignty and encourage Russian aggression. His administration’s ties to the Kremlin, history of transactional diplomacy, promises of isolationism might devastate Ukraine and the global community.

🧵+ article for Fresno Alliance
Russian officials celebrated Trump’s victory.

⚫Medvedev tied it to Russia’s war goals
⚫Putin hinted at “dialogue” but referenced an assassination attempt
⚫Patrushev warned of “obligations” Trump must fulfill, ⚫Dugin claimed a “globalist defeat”

fresnoalliance.com/what-trumps-re…
Trump’s admin picks raise foreign influence concerns.

⚫Susie Wiles has ties to sanctioned Russian oligarchs;
⚫Tulsi Gabbard, a Kremlin favorite, opposed Ukraine’s NATO bid
etc

Skipping vetting, his choices risk US security and signal a pro-Russia shift.

🧵🚨Trump’s new Chief of Staff, Susie Wiles, worked for a firm lobbying for Kremlin-linked oligarchs.

Her boss, who recommended Wiles for Trump’s campaign, lobbied for a Russian oligarch with deep ties to Putin and Rosneft.

Part 2: here.

Part 1: ⬇️
Before working for Trump's 2024 campaign, Wiles was a co-chair of Mercury Public Affairs.

Bryan Lanza, Mercury partner, lobbied for sanctioned Russian oligarch Oleg Deripaska’s energy and aluminum firm conglomerate EN+ Group in 2018.

motherjones.com/politics/2019/…
“Deripaska has said that he does not separate himself from the Russian state. He has also acknowledged possessing a Russian diplomatic passport, and claims to have represented the Russian government in other countries."

Would #Trump’s new Chief of Staff, Susie Wiles, pass a background check? Her daughter Caroline Wiles failed a security clearance in 2016.

🧵Alleged family ties to a Kremlin-linked lobbyist infamous for the Trump Tower “dirt” meeting and lobbying against the Magnitsky Act.
Rinat Akhmetshin, a Russian-born US citizen, a lobbyist with a two-decade relationship with Putin allies, is a longtime associate of Lanny Wiles, ex-husband of Susie Wiles, a known GOP operative and lobbyist.

nytimes.com/2017/08/21/us/…
Lanny Wiles and Akhmetshin worked to undo the Magnitsky Act, a law imposing sanctions on Russian officials.

“I think he works for us. I don’t think he works for them,” said Wiles... who has worked with Akhmetshin for more than 15 years. “But I don’t know what he really does.”

🧵 Russian oligarch Petr Aven played a critical role in #Putin’s rise to power.

Reports suggest links between Aven, #Trump’s presidential campaigns, and #Musk’s X acquisition.

These connections call for further examination. Voters deserve clarity on the national security. Image
One of the entities backing Musk’s Twitter buyout employs Aven’s son.

While Petr Aven has no known formal connection to X acquisition, the nature of the Russian mafia state calls for an investigation.
dw.com/en/what-do-xs-…
Petr Aven has longterm and close ties with Putin.

In the 90s, Aven shielded Putin from a corruption scandal involving $122M in missing food aid.

Putin then rose to the presidency by 1999, consolidating power with oligarch backing.
