Remember when Ali Alexander, Roger Stone. & Jacob Engels OPPOSED recounts in 2018? These bad faith actors always accuse their opponents of fraud, regardless of facts, bc it is propaganda. It dates back to 2000. h/t @LeaLovesUSA #narrativewarfare 1/ miaminewtimes.com/news/trump-fan…
2/ Seriously. I know many of us already know they have screamed “stop the steal” since 2000 but it is nonetheless infuriating to see it spelled out so clearly in 2018.
3/ Jack Posobiec was involved too.
4/ So was Laura Loomer.
5/ The “Stop the Steal” playback dates back to the 2000 astroturf Brooks Brothers Riot, which helped stop the recount in an election that Bush supposedly won by just 537 votes. It is propaganda, as Brad Blakeman readily acknowledges. Excerpt from something I’m writing:
6/ Karl Rove used the same “stop the steal” playbook back in 1994 in Alabama. He, Stone, & Manafort are all alumni of the same Republican shark tank: College Republicans. link.medium.com/uoMsnAtf0jb
7/ From my Medium article in post 6. They just recycle “stop the steal” over and over. Again, this is re: 1994.
8/ 2016 too. I strongly suspect that Trump’s false claims of a rigged election are, in part, what caused Ds to underplay security concerns re: the 2016 election & concede without even a recount. We are still living w/ the repercussions of that bad (imo) decision.
10/ Trump’s baseless claims about a rigged election in 2020 and propaganda #fraudits are almost certainly the reason why Democrats decided to NOT reintroduce legislation that would require rigorous manual audits for all federal races starting in 2022.
11/ I wrote this about Ron DeSantis’s and Rick Scott’s poll defying & otherwise questionable Florida wins in 2018. It is Democrats who shld have worried about potential fraud, not the GOP. link.medium.com/Tc6nNFph0jb
Remember when Trump:
* Posted a photo of himself wielding a baseball bat next to a photo of Alvin Bragg?
* Mocked MSNBC anchor Ali Velshi for getting hit with a rubber bullet?
* Praised Greg Gianforte for assaulting a reporter?
* Joked about the assault on Paul Pelosi? 1/
The Daily Signal—launched by Heritage—gushes that JD Vance & Trump have “Orchestrated Deal to Save TikTok”
They omit that, as of June, prospective buyers include Oracle founder Larry Ellison (who helped Heritage w/ a Project 2025 database) & Thiel ally Marc Andreessen’s a16z. 1/
2/ Link to the Daily Signal article, which says nothing about Ellison, Oracle, Andreessen, or a16z. dailysignal.com/2025/09/15/how…
3/ “A consortium of companies, including Oracle [founded by Larry Ellison] … & a16z (Andreessen Horowitz), is back in the running to acquire TikTok. As reported by Bloomberg [in June]
…, the group is allegedly the buyer revealed by…Trump last weekend.” 7/3/25 datacenterdynamics.com/en/news/oracle…
The Daily Signal gushes that JD Vance (Peter Thiel’s protégée) & Trump have “Orchestrated Deal to Save TikTok,” adding that the US-backed buyer has yet to be named.
They omit that, as of June, one of the prospective buyers is a16z—founded by Thiel ally Marc Andreessen. 1/
👀The Harvard Journal of Law & Public Policy has published an article by A3P attorney Josh Hammer, Timon Cline, & Yoram Hazony. It calls on SCOTUS to reverse the 1947 Everson case, which held that the Establishment Clause applies to states & requires church-state separation. 1/
While we were distracted, Trump appointed Josh Craddock—who recently signed a letter urging the DOJ to use the Comstock Act to curtail abortion pill distribution—to serve as Deputy Assistant AG in the DOJ’s OLC. Don’t worry. He probly won’t do much until *after* the midterms… 1/
2/ Josh Craddock announced his appointment on 7/2/25.
Houraney “recalls encountering Epstein at Mar-a-Lago in Jan 1993” & says “Trump asked him to organise a party” w/ “some of his pageant’s finalists…[A]fter an hour at the party, Houraney says, there seemed to be only one other guest: Epstein.” 3/14/20 1/
