🧵 As I go through @GOP's financials since my exclusive report last year... @GOPChairwoman why are you still spending so much on limo services? We've only got $7 million on hand, yet you spent $256,635 on limos since 10/21/22??? Image
And about those floral arrangements - these are NOT marked as being part of any fundraiser events. Just floral arrangements. More than $70,000. WHY? Image
And let's get to your DRY CLEANING. You are very well-paid. So why are donors paying for your dry cleaning? $8,750. Image
And then we have "Media Preparation" a/k/a doing your hair and makeup for TV or events. Many of us do our own because we can't afford hair & makeup artists and our employers don't pay for it. Or, people PAY THEIR OWN. (Novel idea.) $22,389. So we're up to $30k for you, tax free! Image
Granted this $615,000 in donor mementos is not quite the $17 million total of the 6 years prior, but it's still a MASSIVE AMOUNT. The best donor memento is, IDK, winning? Image
Some curious things on office supplies, Ronna. Over $3,000 to an artist in Texas who does custom watercolors. I'm sure they're lovely; I'm just. not sure donors needed to pay for them. And $4k for coffee supplies for the office? Image
And $43k in Instacart to the office? That's not including all of the little lunches and muffins and cupcakes billed to "catering" or the food billed to "travel expenses." Does anyone buy their own lunch around there? Image
Bergdorf Goodman was listed as a "Travel Expense" and $1600 at Carhartt for Office Supplies... ummmm....

Something still stinks with RNC expenses. 💩 I'm happy for Ronna or her lackey Emma to correct the record. Image
In case you missed my EXCLUSIVE report last year (@GOPChairwoman is still pissed about this; her minions are still talking s**t abt me):

In reviewing USDA-APHIS data, CA has BY FAR the highest rate of H5N1 infection in cattle - and that's not bc there are more cattle here than in any other state. (WI has the 2nd most cattle, and ZERO bird flu cases.)

Why the fast spread? Are public health workers spreading it? Image
Here's the link to that letter: cheac.org/wp-content/upl…
Here's USDA's tracker of confirmed cases in livestock - you can select for which type of livestock and date range (last 30 days or whole outbreak) aphis.usda.gov/livestock-poul…

As if the Homeless Industrial Complex in Los Angeles could be any more inept or corrupt: check out the newest appointment to the LAHSA by the esteemed Hilda Solis... yep, Katie Hill, who was quietly let go by People Assisting the Homeless around the time she ran for Congress 🧵 Image
Hill "will be a fierce advocate for our unhoused neighbors" 😂 okay, sure... just like those unhoused neighbors at HOPICS who got evicted when she forgot to pay the bills... Image
"The L.A. nonprofit HOPICS got $140 million in public funds to house the homeless, but it failed to pay rent and some of its clients wound up back on the streets."

Hill was Deputy Director when this happened. Image

🧵Gavin Newsom learned a lesson after I exposed the truth about his gifted mansion in Fair Oaks, CA, and used a Registered Agent service for the LLC he formed to purchase his new mansion instead of using the Plumpjack registered agent.

But still, how can an entity that was just formed 11/12/24 close the purchase of a $9.1 million home 2 days later?Image
MHBD Farms, LLC purchased the home from Daniel Pritzker, cousin of Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker and billionaire Hyatt Hotels heir. Newsom and Co. were a little cagier with how they named this LLC. Instead of naming it with the street address, they used the first initials of his children.Image
The property tax bill is hefty, but I guess since an LLC owns it and we don't yet know who the manager is, maybe Gavin won't have to pay it? Over $117,000 a year just for property tax. Image

🧵Hey y'all - as I find groups who are registered to go into a disaster zone and working to help those in western NC and other areas affected by Helene, I'll post in this thread.

Here's the first one:
NC Baptist Disaster Relief is going to be the premier organization for this effort IMO due to their existing infrastructure and network. They need skilled volunteers, cash donations, and more. Here is their page for Helene: baptistsonmission.org/Mission-Projec…

🧵 Thoughts on the report on the Secret Service's inexcusable epic failure on 7/13 ...

Would Crooks have known that this would be the last opportunity for an assassin to take out Trump w/o the threat of counter snipers?

Why didn't the SAIC know abt credible intel of a threat? Image
TRAINING. No agent who's not fully competent with a piece of equipment should be deployed to a high-threat situation ALONE with that equipment. WTF Image
COMMUNICATION. Why didn't the USSS ask for state/local operational plans? Or share theirs? Image

🧵🤦🏻‍♀️I hear this guy is seeking endorsement from the Republican party for Agoura Hills City Council. Or perhaps that he just got the endorsement because nobody bothered to look past the American flag and his claim to love first responders and Veterans on his campaign site Image
Seriously, here's a cursory look at some of the things on his Twitter

Oh, but hey, he's got an American flag on his website so let's not look further! Image
