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.
Ken Fisher Backing Trump (Sept 2020)

Ken & Sherrilyn Fisher donated: $250,000

"Ken Fisher has close ties with Trump...Fisher’s primary source of wealth is Fisher Investments...Today his website says that it manages over $71 billion"

Email sent to me yesterday appears to have come from Pat Cipollone’s law firm.
“Who talks like this?” Email to me came from law firm where Pat Cipollone is listed as a partner.

Sherrilyn Fisher donated to @derrickvanorden, Trump-endorsed GOP candidate for Congress.

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.
Sherrilyn Fisher, wife of @KennethLFisher, donated $10K to the Republican Party of Michigan on Jan. 5, 2021. Ryan Kelley, a @GOP candidate for Michigan governor, pleaded not guilty for his actions during the insurrection at the US Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021. nytimes.com/2022/07/22/us/…
In the two days preceding Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol, Sherrilyn Fisher, wife of @KennethLFisher, made a spate of donations to Republican Parties of multiple states for $10K each.

🚨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."

@Bloomberg 2019: bloomberg.com/news/articles/…Image

🚨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

Image
The EU spokesperson said the DSA requests "non-arbitrary enforcement" of terms and conditions. The @AuschwitzMuseum said they reported the Holocaust denial post above to X as prohibited post: "Violent event denial" but they received no response from X. 2/
Linda Yaccarino, 2023:

“So if you’re going to post something that’s illegal or against the law, you’re gone, zero tolerance."

Holocaust denial is illegal in Germany. The post above remains intact, despite alleged violation of German law & X rules. No one from X has responded. 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
