1. @Publix heiress Julie Jenkins Fancelli gave $300K to finance the January 6 event that turned into a riot.

That was the bulk of the funding.

Publix is saying they have nothing to do with Francelli.

BUT Publix that isn't the full story. Image
@Publix 2. @Publix is one of a handful of companies that has said ABSOLUTELY NOTHING about whether their intend to keep donating to the 147 members of Congress who voted to overturn the presidential election.

They've ignored our inquiries for WEEKS.

3. In the 2020 cycle @Publix donated $3000 to Senator Rick Scott (R-FL), who voted to overturn the election, and $2500 to Senator Tommy Tuberville (AL), who also voted to overturn the election.

1. On Monday, Trump delivered a $70 million windfall to his billionaire buddy, John Paulson.

Paulson hosted the biggest fundraiser of Trump's 2024 campaign, raising over $50 million.

This week, Trump returned the favor.

Follow along for details.
2. Trump announced that he was approving a 211-mile road through the Alaskan wilderness that will allow for the mining of copper and other minerals.

The project was rejected under Biden due to its environmental impact

3. Two companies will operate the mine: South32 Limited, an Australian company, and Trilogy Metals, based in Canada.

Paulson owns 14,326,996 shares of Trilogy Metals, about 8.7% of the company.

1. CBS, once one of America's most trusted sources for news, has hired anti-woke crusader Bari Weiss as its Editor-in-Chief

With Weiss, CBS is embracing someone who talks a lot about honesty but has a history of distorting the truth to conform to her right-wing ideological agenda.

Let's review.
2. The Free Press, Weiss' publication, published an article accusing UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer of "complicity" in a "cover-up of a serial rape scandal." They credit Elon Musk for exposing the scandal. But the story is BS.

popular.info/p/the-devoluti…
3. Far from participating in a cover-up, Starmer successfully prosecuted crimes related to the "grooming gang" scandal. His work on this issue was praised in a 2013 parliamentary report produced by the conservative government. Image

1. Federal agents from ICE and other agencies are wrongly detaining U.S. citizens, sometimes detaining them for days, on suspicion that they are undocumented immigrants.

The raids are done without search warrants or other procedures designed to protect civil liberties.
2. Last week in Chicago, hundreds of federal agents descended on an apartment complex.

67-year-old Roderick Johnson, a citizen, “said agents broke through his door and dragged him out in zip ties.”

popular.info/p/how-federal-…
3. On July 10, George Retes, a 25-year-old Army veteran, was detained by federal agents “while on his way to work as a security guard at a Southern California cannabis farm.”

Retes was violently arrested and then “[h]eld in a jail cell for three days and nights.” Image

1. UPDATE: Billionaire Rob Citrone, whose hedge fund bet heavily on Argentina, pressed Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, his longtime friend and former colleague, to rescue the country, according to Argentine media.

Shortly thereafter, Bessent announced a $20 billion taxpayer-funded bailout.
2. CE Noticias Financieras, a wire service in Latin America, reported that after the bailout faced resistance w/lower-level Trump officials, “Citrone managed to connect with Bessent to get him to intervene directly.”

popular.info/p/update-hedge…
3. Ariel Maciel, Political Economy Editor at Perfil, a large Argentine media outlet, said on an Argentine broadcast, “Citrone is really the one who intervenes. He basically tells Bessent, ‘Hey, we need to help in Argentina,.”

1. Yesterday Jared Kushner partnered with the Saudis on the $55 billion purchase of Electronic Arts AND attended the White House meeting between Bibi and Trump as a foreign policy advisor

It's an insane conflict of interest
2. Why did the Saudis bring in Kushner to the EA deal? Most of the money he has to invest comes from the Saudis!

ANSWER: Since the deal will result in foreign ownership of EA, it needs Trump admin approval. Kushner locks it in

popular.info/p/jared-kushne…
3. Kushner's private equity firm is functioning as a way for Kushner to monetize his influence with the Trump administration. You have someone in the Oval Office discussing Middle East policies who is getting tens of millions in fees annually from the Saudis.

1. The $20 billion taxpayer-funded rescue package for Argentina, announced last week by the Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, delivers an enormous windfall to hedge fund billionaire Rob Citrone.

Citrone has a longstanding personal and professional relationship with Bessent.
2. Citrone's relationship with Bessent has not been previously reported in the American media.

But Bessent and Citrone worked together for George Soros. By Citrone's own account, he helped make Bessent very wealthy.

popular.info/p/trumps-argen…
3. Since Javier Milei, a right-wing populist, became president of Argentina in December 2023, Citrone has invested heavily in Argentina. Citrone has bought Argentine debt and purchased equity in numerous Argentine companies that are closely tied to the performance of the overall economy.Image
