BREAKING - After threats that 10,000 NYPD officers could quit the force over the NYC vaccine mandate, the actual number going on unpaid leave today was 34.
Even the NY Post has to report the actual numbers:

nypost.com/2021/11/01/her…
Also a good time to remember that the biggest killer of US police in 2020 and 2021 was COVID.
More numbers:

There are 35,000 NYPD officers.

The other stat being reported is that a total of 9k NYC employees went on unpaid leave — that’s across the entire city government, which has 330,000 employees.

Tesla would not exist without the federal government. Obama bailed them out in 2009. Apparently Musk’s paper fortune is giving him amnesia.
Tesla paid back the loan - great. But the company would likely have gone into bankruptcy without the government extending credit.

And this is to say nothing of all the subsidies for consumers to buy electric cars. Or to build charging stations. Or the govt contracts to Tesla.
This is not some argument that the government created Tesla’s wealth and thus should own it — it’s that the government contributed mightily to that wealth. WE THE PEOPLE paid to support Tesla and now just want Musk to pay his fair share, still a tiny fraction of what he’s made.

Trump has never had the scrutiny of the public stock market. Ever. Until now. Truth Social is an extremely high risk venture — both for him and for anyone crazy enough to invest in it.
Trump will have to make SEC filings for the first time ever. From a guy who is already under investigation for fraud and other misconduct — and had 2 other entities (Trump U, Trump Foundation) prosecuted for fraud.

So the SEC enforcement folks will be watching. Closely.
Trump will also have to deal with Wall Street analysts and commentators nitpicking everything Truth Social does. He’s banking on his own supporters buying the stock, freeing him from what the Street thinks. But they’ll still rip it to shreds if it’s losing money.

Update on Matt Gaetz — his buddy Joel Greenberg has had so much dirt that prosecutors have opened up entire new wings of their case. The investigation into financial crimes now includes help from Secret Service agents. There’s something HUGE here.
Did Greenberg have information on Matt Gaetz trying to buy himself a pardon from Donald Trump? Is that why the Secret Service is now involved in the investigation?
Greenberg appears to have given the feds information about crimes totally beyond the scope of the original indictment of Greenberg — so the entire matter has snowballed.

And if they haven’t indicted Gaetz yet, it may be because the new material also implicates Gaetz.

BREAKING - Trump and his team knew there was no factual basis for any claim of election fraud — we know that now.

In this video from last night Trump admits to pressuring Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp.

All evidence of criminal election tampering.

Trump’s call to pressure Kemp was on December 5, 2020 and was reported at the time — but the reports came from leaks to reporters. See link below.

Now we have Trump admitting this misconduct at the rally last night.

washingtonpost.com/politics/trump…
We also have the recorded call where Trump pressured Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger: “I just want to find 11,780 votes.”

Not: “I think there were irregularities.”

We know what “find” means. It means he KNEW there were no irregularities and was ASKING for fraud.

BREAKING - Bennie Thompson, chair of the House Select Committee on January 6, indicates he’s ready to push for enforcement of the committee’s subpoenas — including holding people in contempt of Congress.
There are at least 3 options for enforcement or contempt:

1) sergeant-at-arms of House sends officers to arrest the person

2) refer matter to DOJ, which would send FBI agents arrest the person

3) file action in federal court to get court order, enforceable by US Marshals
Option 1 is considered “inherent contempt” - an inherent power of Congress. But it hasn’t been done since 1935.

Option 2 would mean Biden has to step up and show he means business.

Option 3 is a bad idea in my view, inviting an unwarranted court battle.
