Happy New Year, Georgia folks!

Trump's America definitely favored real estate grifters

2022 is their year to be prosecuted?

Throughout the pandemic, one Atlanta-area landlord has bombarded residents with eviction notices

Deplorable Landlords
Once you get an eviction on your record, it's hard to get another apartment... 😒

Riverdale, Clayton County, GA, South of Atlanta

@Standupchai
The property is managed by a company and owned by a hedge fund guy from Canada

They try to work with low-income folks on payment plans, while at the same time hitting them with hella fees and jumping thru hoops
Dad of 4 lost his trucking job, then became a courier, then hurt his back, needs surgery

Momma can't make enough $$ working than it would cost for child care for 4 kids, so she stays home

SDTX:
Houston ISD has performed well compared to neighboring school districts in Texas for commonsense COVID safety protocols, but this federal corruption probe is a bad look

this contracting bribery scheme only appears to involve former HISD officials 🔥
justice.gov/usao-sdtx/pr/g…
police "took former COO Brian Busby, 43, & HISD contract vendor Anthony Hutchison, 60, both of Houston, into custody"

“This investigation and resulting indictments reflect my office’s commitment to rooting out public corruption in the SDTX" - Acting US Atty Jennifer B. Lowery
a Grand Jury is indicting HISD officials and others are fessing up!

Holy $hit, the HISD Board of Education president Rhonda Skillern-Jones, 39, copped a plea - you don't see that every day!

EDTX: how did these Cuban nationals get in the US to do multi-state credit card skimmer frauds?

they only got caught b/c a police officer happened to find someone else's credit card in the card? (or maybe this story purposely vague?)
justice.gov/usao-edtx/pr/c…
this Cuban national only got 30 month sentence?

think of how many victims there could be!?!

Acting U.S. Attorney Nicholas Ganjei: “The crime is difficult to detect because intended gas purchase will proceed without interruption or notification”
“A single gas station skimmer is capable of storing credit card information for hundreds of victims.”

"on Jan. 27, 2017, an officer with the Nacogdoches PD conducted a traffic stop on a vehicle driven by Entenza and occupied by 2 other Cuban nationals"

14 people accused of Health Care Kickback scheme have either pleaded guilty or are going to trial. Vincent Marchetti, Jr just was found guilty by the jury in month-long trial

$28 Million in Kickbacks for referrals for Pharmacogenetic testing! 🔥
justice.gov/usao-edtx/pr/c…
Health Care Kickback Conspiracy:
EDTX trial for Marchetti, others accused are from several cities in TX, and CA, AZ, MS

so if $28M is just for the Kickbacks - how much was the pharmacogenomic fraudulent profits?

how much testing is that?

@jbadomics
Pharmacogenetic testing is a type of genetic testing that identifies genetic variations that affect how an individual patient metabolizes certain drugs. The illegal arrangement concerned referral of PGx tests to clinical laboratories in Fountain Valley, Irvine, & San Diego, CA

@EricBoehlert is it bad form when @mattbai (in an extremely irrelevant puff piece about former Sen. Bill Bradley) cites HIMSELF for the narrative that Biden has "anemic" approval ratings?
washingtonpost.com/opinions/2021/…
Is @mattbai the worst, laziest opinion writer on the planet?

He cited himself AGAIN, linking to his 10/25/2020 Biden hit piece! 3 columns linked to HIMSELF!

referred to himself as "Everyone who knew anything dismissed Biden..."

and "We were wrong"
washingtonpost.com/opinions/2021/…
@mattbai's awful dispatch about Biden during final days before Election Day 2020...

Bai again using the royal we: "We never gave Biden the credit he deserved"

Why did Xi Jinping want to be Chinese Dictator for Life?

Maybe the other options in a demographically-doomed declining economy where he's not in control were too risky for him and his family?

China’s population is shrinking, fast
archive.ph/x7uzj
Jefferies "estimates China’s population will peak in 2022, which is almost 10 years earlier than UN estimates."

Holy $hit, look at that graph

Beijing Olympics 2022 could be peak of their population?

Who would want to raise children in a Surveillance State, anyway?

Rest in Peace, Phil Saviano, #Spotlight Hero from Boston

@SNAPNetwork

Phil Saviano, advocate for survivors of sexual abuse by Catholic priests, dies at 69

Why did the Boston Globe pass on Phil's story in 1998?

Thankfully, Martin Baron published in 2002
