Tish James including Trump Scotland in her brief of evidence is super interesting. Didn't think they'd go after his foreign deals. ag.ny.gov/press-release/…
Trump's appraisal of his Scotland property to his tax accountant was based on a quote from Trump's own compliance officer to Forbes lol
This is brutal. Trump's counsel hired an appraiser for his Silver Springs property. The appraiser told them it was worth $29M-$50M. Trump then turned around and told his tax accountants at Mazars that it was worth $161M.
Capital One rejected a loan restructuring for Trump's property on Wall Street because the Trump Org gave them a valuation more than double what the bank appraised.
Trump's COO then went to his son's company and the valuation magically matched Trump's!
But still, that wasn't enough. The following year Trump added $200M more to the friendly valuation.
Trump falsely claimed that his penthouse was 3x bigger than it actually was, thus increasing the value by 64%. Weisselberg allegedly admitted to investigators that they overstated the valuation by "give or take" $200 million.

Hostile takeover + selective leaking + emotionally charged rhetoric with little substance. It’s the same, boring playbook. #twitterfiles
Musk and the people with whom he’s surrounded himself are copy-pasting the faux rage machine (see: WikiLeaks, the laptop, masks, etc etc etc etc)
This isn’t an adult discussion about the limitations of online speech. It’s just clickbait for the dying platform.
Make conservatives think it’s an existential crisis to the world, make liberals rage quote tweet = Engagement. It’s such an easy formula for bad actors. It’s tired.
I know people are tired of "collusion" talk, but it doesn't mean that this isn't a huge five-alarm fire still.
Trump received millions (I've heard 8 figures) from Saudi to host the LIV Golf nonsense and now a big real estate deal. He's running for President tomorrow.
All the while, Trump had top secret code word documents in his office at his house.
Operative questions I've yet to see asked of either the Trump or Saudi sides: When and where did the LIV Golf negotiations take place?
Democrats lead in 214 House races. They have to take the lead and win 4 of these for the majority.
CA13, AZ6 look plausible. Maybe CA41? Maybe OR5?
CA22 isn't out of the question either. I think the Democrats best chance is to sweep CA13, CA41, and CA22 and pick up maybe the AZ6 seat or a Boebert recount?
The House is going to be at MOST a 7-seat lead for the GOP. If *everything* goes right for the Democrats, they could hold the House with 219 seats.
Imagine a 218-217 House... It's going to be a long 2 years.
