This article is worth a read. Of course what the article doesn't mention is that Sam Bankman Fried & FTX was playing both sides in #NY03 in 2022 by funnelling money to both George Santos (R) and to Democrat Josh Lafazan. 🧵 1/5 coindesk.com/consensus-maga…
FTX executives paid off Democrat #NY03 candidate Josh Lafazan's personal student loans & donated to his campaign. Lafazan took in over $710K from FTX. 2/

Santos was clearly involved in a legal donor sharing agreement with Michelle Bond, the girlfriend of FTX executive Ryan Salame, who was running in GOP primary in next door #NY01. Maxed out legal donors to Bond donated to Santos in exchange for Santos donors giving to Bond. 3/
We still don't know where the over $700K George Santos personally loaned to his campaign came from. Did it come from FTX? Were the loans completely fabricated? We don't know & the current Federal indictment against Santos has nothing to do with these loans. 4/
Santos's indictment only focuses on unemployment fraud that happened during #COVID, lying about his financials on disclosure statements & tricking campaign donors to give to his personal LLC. It makes no mention of the personal loans to his campaign which are still a mystery. 5/5

From @cinyc9, here's a comparison of the NY Assembly lines proposed by the commission today against the 2022 lines that were struck down on procedural grounds. Changes are modest in most of the state, although the most egregious district is gone: 1/ davesredistricting.org/join/30d4fc15-…
The most significant change is the cleanup of #AD101, a Catskills-to-Utica GOP sink that was a poster child for gerrymandering. The old map wasn't ruled a gerrymander, but this is likely a sign that the commission thinks unchecked gerrymandering won't be allowed. 2/ Image
Elsewhere, changes are very modest, and virtually zero in NYC. Republicans picked up 5 seats on the old map in 2022, which was Dem-leaning, but not as egregious as the congressional Hochulmander or the 2010's Assembly map. 3/

George Santos is not the only #NY03 candidate who's been accused of lying on his personal financial disclosure form. Nassau Legislator Josh Lafazan (D), who lost the NY-3 Dem primary, had to amend his after he was accused of hiding a $100K "personal loan" from Sam Bankman-Fried.
Sam Bankman-Fried was a big supporter of Josh Lafazan (D). SBF helped steer over $1 million to Lafazan's losing #NY03 campaign. Bankman also gave a $100K "personal loan" to Lafazan who then turned around and loaned his campaign $166K.

Sam Bankman-Fried was also active in neighboring #NY01 where Michelle Bond (R), who was the girlfriend of his FTX partner Ryan Salame, unsuccessfully ran for the GOP nomination. SBF & his crypto cronies poured more than $3.5 million into Bond's campaign.

The story of New Hampshire state Rep. Stacie Laughton (D), the 1st openly transgender person elected to a state legislature in the US is kind of insane. Laughton has a long rap sheet that involved credit card fraud, a bomb threat, fake 911 calls & criminal stalking charges. 🧵1/9
Stacie Laughton made history in 2012 as the 1st openly transgender person elected to a state legislature but after the election it came out that Laughton was a convicted felon with a long rap sheet that included conspiracy to commit credit card fraud. 2/
laconiadailysun.com/news/local/nas…
Under New Hampshire law, convicted felons are ineligible to hold public office until their "final discharge" from prison. In Laughton's case "final discharge" would not occur until 2019 which made Laughton ineligible to serve in 2012. 3/

New York Councilman Ari Kagan is expected to switch parties from Democrat to GOP tomorrow. Kagan represents a district that includes Coney Island & other southern Brooklyn neighborhoods. nydailynews.com/news/politics/…
Redistricting put Councilman Kagan in the same district with progressive Councilman Justin Brannan (D) who Kagan is expected to challenge next year. This part of southern Brooklyn swung heavily to the GOP in the 2022 election.
Worth nothing that both Kagan and Alec Brook-Krasny, who Kagan beat in the 2021 NYC Council Democratic primary, are now both Republican elected officials in Brooklyn. Brook-Krasny switched partied earlier this year & was elected to the state Assembly as a Republican in November.

Asian voters in NYC overwhelmingly swung from Democrats to Republicans this year. Lee Zeldin (R) carried the majority Asian 40th Assembly District in Queens and the heavily Asian 47th & 49th Assembly districts in Brooklyn.
nypost.com/2022/11/20/nys…
Precinct analysis shows that Asian majority election districts in NYC voted more Republican than than non-Hispanic White districts did.
Lee Zeldin won 23 predominantly Asian election districts in the 47th & 49th Assembly Districts which included Chinese-populated Sunset Park and even carried 1 election district in Manhattan in Chinatown.
