🧵 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???
And about those floral arrangements - these are NOT marked as being part of any fundraiser events. Just floral arrangements. More than $70,000. WHY?
And let's get to your DRY CLEANING. You are very well-paid. So why are donors paying for your dry cleaning? $8,750.
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!
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?
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?
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?
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.
In case you missed my EXCLUSIVE report last year (@GOPChairwoman is still pissed about this; her minions are still talking s**t abt me):

🧵HAPPENING NOW: Unhinged leftists in Ventura County (the ones I've been sharing iG posts from) are in a standoff with ICE at a farm near Camarillo. VCBOS' Yianey Lopez goes oh KTLA to tell people who might need help to contact 805Undocufund and 805 Immigrant Coalition- the very terrorists who are out there staging an insurrection!
Occurring at Glass House Farms, a cannabis farm...
Here's video of Ventura County Supervisor Vianey Lopez telling people that 805 Undocufund and 805 Immigrant Coalition are good orgs and will provide legal assistance to detainees - those are the groups behind the insurrection
🔥🔥 🧵Amended Complaint in class action suit filed TODAY by Palisades Fire victims alleging new evidence including
🟠City of LA ignored its own brush clearance ordinances on City-owned vacant lots in the fire area
🟠 LADWP's energized power lines started multiple fires on Jan 7
🟠 LADWP failed to adhere to regulations re: inspection of cover on Santa Ynez Reservoir, then tried to cover up that failure - leading to delayed repair
🟠 State of CA added as Defendant (Hey @CAgovernor!)
🟠 LAFD didn't ensure that Lachman Fire, which started 1/1/25 very close to the ignition point for Palisades Fire, was fully contained.
🟠 There were no "hurricane force" winds during the first 6 hrs of the fire
🟠 LADWP failed to de-energize its lines in the area after the fire started, causing additional fires
🟠 LADWP patrolman didn't get to Palisades substation to de-energize the circuits until 5.5 hrs later - and he couldn't de-energize them bc "the outdated equipment failed and he had to evacuate the substation"
🟠 That patrolman tried to alter LADWP's computer log to eliminate the 5.5 hr delay
So, we’ve talked about CHIRLA and its part in what’s happening in Los Angeles. Just like the org itself, CHIRLA Exec Dir Angelica Salas has her tentacles everywhere. Grab snacks, pull up a chair, and let's go through it. 🧵
On Friday Salas was flanked by four LA City Council members, a CA State Assemblymember, a CA State Senator, and more. Her connections with Karen Bass go back decades. But she’s not just a bigshot in LA.
In 2023, right at the time CHIRLA’s state funding ballooned, Gavin Newsom appointed Salas to the newly-formed CA Racial Equity Commission, a state government entity. What a coincidence.
Salas is also on the board of the CA Wellness Foundation, an org started in 1992 when HealthNet, then the state’s largest insurer, converted from nonprofit to for-profit status. CA Wellness Foundation has morphed from its original mission to become a social justice and advocacy group. Here’s what was said in 1991 about how the group would be formed:
“The foundation will be governed by a board of seven trustees, who all have medical or professional health-care backgrounds. The board will disperse its funds through a grant process to community health care centers and other health-related organizations that focus on illness prevention, children's health care and prenatal care.”
And now? There are 14 board members, many of whom have zero background in medicine or professional health-care, and grants to community health care centers focusing on illness prevention, children’s health care and prenatal care are only a portion of the millions they hand out every year – so basically, another layer of funding for agitators.
And then we have Unite-LA, a public/private partnership for which Salas is a board member/board secretary. That group claims its mission is to “break through traditional silos to re-focus and re-imagine our education systems to put students first and achieve improved outcomes for Los Angeles’ underserved students.” Putting students first – what a novel concept. But what the org does is more of the same – indoctrinating students and creating malleable Marxist foot soldiers.
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?

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 🧵
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...
"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."
