I received an email yesterday from an attorney, demanding I remove Tweets in which I noted that Sherrilyn Fisher, wife of @KennethLFisher, is the largest individual donor to Republicans, $2.8 million according to @OpenSecretsDC. opensecrets.org/elections-over…
I deleted my previous Tweets to clarify Sherrilyn Fisher's $2.8 mil donation to Republicans.

"neither Ken nor Sherri Fisher has ever made any donation - whether directly or through any entity, whether of funds or anything of value - to Doug Mastriano or any campaign of his..."
Lucas Kunce is running for U.S. Senator from Missouri.

I have asked the Fishers' attorney whether any of Sherrilyn Fisher's reported $2.8 donations to Republicans went to Republicans who turned their backs on veterans who were exposed to toxic burn pits.

I have asked Navy SEAL veteran @derrickvanorden, GOP candidate for Congress from #Wisconsin, and recipient of donations from Sherrilyn Fisher, for comment on Republicans in Washington blocking a bill that would aid veterans exposed to toxic burn pits. militarytimes.com/news/burn-pits…
I noticed that Sherrilyn Fisher hasn't made any federal contributions since March. I asked the Fishers' lawyer if the Fishers are concerned about reputation damage stemming from Mrs. Fisher's standing as top individual federal contributor to Republicans, 2022 election cycle?
I emailed this question to the Fishers' attorney today at the law firm where Pat Cipollone is a partner. I will report if I receive a response.

🚨NEW: A spokesperson from the Charles Schwab Corporation emailed this statement to me today, in response to my inquiry about Chuck Schwab, its founder & chairman, donating $2 million in April to two Super PACs that are working to get Republicans elected to the U.S. Congress. Image
Chuck Schwab gave $2 mil in April to Super PACs working to get Republicans elected to Congress. He gave $1.5 million to the Senate Leadership Fund, which "has one goal: to build a Republican Senate majority."

🚨NEW by me: Adult bullying has spiked. Trump & Musk pave the way. I spoke with experts:

John Gartner @duty2warn, Jennifer Fraser @bulliedbrain, Steven Hassan @CultExpert, Bill Eddy @HighConflict, Renee DiResta @noUpside & @PeterHotez Via @thequeenzone
thequeenzone.com/experts-reveal…
Dr. Gartner said Trump "feels pleasure, joy from degrading other people, enjoying crushing people. He feels entitled to attack.” He added, “His bullying is more disinhibited with dementia. He has no filter. He’s more erratic, impulsive, lashing out in random and confused ways.” Image
Trump’s repetition of “fake news,” discrediting journalists and news outlets, echoes the Nazi cry of “Lugenpresse,” meaning “lying press.” Musk has taken up the rallying cry, attacking mainstream media, while X offers fertile ground for the spread of disinformation. Image

🎆NEW by me for @HillReporter:

X / Twitter has promised advertisers brand safety. But several companies and orgs told me they had concerns after their ads appeared next to pro-Hitler and antisemitic content.

Does brand safety exist for advertisers on X?

A spokesperson for Edmunds, a division of CarMax $KMX, messaged me, “Like all other X advertisers, Edmunds does not control when or where the ads may appear to users as they use the platform,”
after Edmunds' ad had appeared next to an antisemitic post. hillreporter.com/does-brand-saf…
A.T. Still University messaged me after its ad appeared next to a pro-Hitler video post:

"ATSU was unaware of X’s placement and will seriously consider withdrawing advertising on the site. ATSU unequivocally condemns antisemitism, all forms of hate speech, and discrimination." Image
