🚨Apple told McGahn the WH counsel to Trump, last month that the Justice Department had subpoenaed information about an account that belonged to him in February 2018, and that the government barred the company from telling him at the tim

Apple told McGahn that it complied with the subpoena but declined to tell him what it provided. Under DOJ policy, gag orders for subpoenas may be renewed for up to a year at a time, sugg that prosecutors went to court several times to prevent Apple from notifying the McGahns
Apple told the McGahns that it received the subpoena on Feb. 23, 2018, according to a person briefed on the matter. The other person familiar with the matter said the subpoena had been issued by a grand jury in the Eastern District of Virginia.

One of the roughly concurrent events was that the federal court in the EDVA was the center of one part of the Mueller inquiry that focused on Manafort

Bc McGahn had been the top lawyer for the Trump campaign in 2016, it is possible that at some earlier point he had been
among those in contact with someone whose account the Mueller team was scrutinizing in early 2018.

Notably, Manafort had been hit with new fraud charges unsealed the day before the subpoena (2/28/18)

Months after the Federal Election Commission notified several GOP state parties of major gaps in their 2020 fundraising and spending reports, the committees are correcting their numbers—but they still can’t explain why the discrepancies occurred.

thedailybeast.com/state-gops-can…
The issue raised new ? about possible abuse of a campaign finance loophole that allows wealthy megadonors to cut massive checks. Last year a number of GOP state parties failed to disclose transfers in the hundreds of thousand, sometimes millions of $ which violates reporting reqs
It appears systemic. The @FEC has so far sent notices to 10 of those 46 state parties that failed to report high-dollar same-day transfers from joint fundraising committees and to the RNC. So far, all but one have responded.

In PA the state senators quietly targeted at least 3 small counties, all of which Trump had won handily. Their proposal was to have a private co scrutinize the county’s ballots, for free a move outside the official processes used for election challenges

Only one county is known to have agreed to the senators’ request: rural Fulton County, on the Maryland border, where Trump performed better than anywhere else in the state, winning nearly 86 percent of the roughly 8,000 votes cast.
On Dec. 31, in the quiet of the winter holiday, county officials allowed a West Chester, Pa., company called #WakeTSI to spend an afternoon recounting about 1,000 mail-in ballots and taking data from county voting machines.

I guess this is legal in the UK?

Multiple reports suggest that Johnson's financial situation has led to him attempting, and in some cases succeeding, to use donations from the Conservparty and other donors to pay for:

The refurbishment of his Downing Street residence
A Caribbean holiday with his fiancee Carrie Symonds
His child's nanny
His own personal trainer
£27,000 worth of takeaway meals

Some commentators close to Johnson have suggested that these alleged money problems are due to the
reduction in his income since entering Downing Street, combined with payments for his indeterminate number of children, and his divorce from his second wife Marina Wheeler.

It’s called the Kensington Initiative, and it’s animated by the principle that simply arresting every dealer or buyer on a street corner for long the preferred tactic for narcotics busts won’t make a dent in the larger drug organizations upending residents’ lives.
The intel-driven effort, federal, state and local investigators meet for weekly huddles to share info has dismantled 5 Kensington heroin networks. Those arrested include a man they describe as a leader of the Clementine ring, Brandon Perez, 29.

on Wednesday, the EPA released a detailed and disturbing account of the startling changes that Earth’s warming had on parts of the United States during Trump’s presidency.

washingtonpost.com/climate-enviro…
For years Trump and his deputies played down the impact of greenhouse gas emissions from burning fossil fuels and delayed the release of an EPA report detailing climate-related damage

The destruction of year-round permafrost in Alaska, loss of winter ice on the Great Lakes and
spike in summer heat waves in U.S. cities all signal that climate change is intensifying

The assessment, which languished under the Trump admin for three years, marks the first time the agency has said such changes are being driven at least in part by human-caused global warming
