.@VP shld request manual recounts (& ballot images) bc Rs blocked legislation that wld have required robust manual audits for federal races, MAGAs breached voting systems in swing states, & bomb threats forced evacuations of election offices. But if u are spreading half-baked calculations & other nonsense, u are undermining our ability to persuade @VP to request recounts. 1/
7/ Another. Compare @Spoonamore’s “bullet ballot” claim on the left with his admission today on the right.
@Spoonamore 8/ I wrote about Republicans blocking the #SAFEAct election security bill (which @VP endorsed) and the subsequent MAGA voting system breaches here for @BucksCoBeacon. These two factors alone warrant recounts. buckscountybeacon.com/2023/10/trump-…
9/ “State police provided a list of 32 [Pennsylvania] counties that received [hoax bomb] threats [on Election Day], though a spokesperson cautioned that it might not be comprehensive.” Here is the list. (Bucks & York did not evacuate, per the article.) 11/7/24 goerie.com/story/news/pol…
@Spoonamore @VP @BucksCoBeacon 10/ “Ten Arizona counties were targeted by … hoax bomb threats on Election Day *** Arizona AG Kris Mayes revealed Tuesday that 2/3 of Arizona’s counties — twice as many as was previously known — received bomb threats on Election Day.” 11/12/24 azmirror.com/briefs/ten-ari…
11/ “Georgia secretary of state says there were over 60 [hoax] bomb threats during election” 11/12/24 11alive.com/article/news/p…
12/ The #SAFEAct (endorsed by @VP) also would have required the removal of wireless modems from ballot scanners. Again, however, the GOP blocked it.
13/ Rs will accept no...cybersecurity standards...I pointed out that right now...u can have a voting machine w/ a[]... connection to the internet, which is the equivalent of stashing...ballots in the Kremlin. And the Rs objected &...sat down...” @RonWyden, 2/19/20 fastcompany.com/90465001/senat…

Remember when Trump:
* Posted a photo of himself wielding a baseball bat next to a photo of Alvin Bragg?
* Mocked MSNBC anchor Ali Velshi for getting hit with a rubber bullet?
* Praised Greg Gianforte for assaulting a reporter?
* Joked about the assault on Paul Pelosi? 1/
The Daily Signal—launched by Heritage—gushes that JD Vance & Trump have “Orchestrated Deal to Save TikTok”
They omit that, as of June, prospective buyers include Oracle founder Larry Ellison (who helped Heritage w/ a Project 2025 database) & Thiel ally Marc Andreessen’s a16z. 1/
2/ Link to the Daily Signal article, which says nothing about Ellison, Oracle, Andreessen, or a16z. dailysignal.com/2025/09/15/how…
3/ “A consortium of companies, including Oracle [founded by Larry Ellison] … & a16z (Andreessen Horowitz), is back in the running to acquire TikTok. As reported by Bloomberg [in June]
…, the group is allegedly the buyer revealed by…Trump last weekend.” 7/3/25 datacenterdynamics.com/en/news/oracle…
The Daily Signal gushes that JD Vance (Peter Thiel’s protégée) & Trump have “Orchestrated Deal to Save TikTok,” adding that the US-backed buyer has yet to be named.
They omit that, as of June, one of the prospective buyers is a16z—founded by Thiel ally Marc Andreessen. 1/
👀The Harvard Journal of Law & Public Policy has published an article by A3P attorney Josh Hammer, Timon Cline, & Yoram Hazony. It calls on SCOTUS to reverse the 1947 Everson case, which held that the Establishment Clause applies to states & requires church-state separation. 1/
While we were distracted, Trump appointed Josh Craddock—who recently signed a letter urging the DOJ to use the Comstock Act to curtail abortion pill distribution—to serve as Deputy Assistant AG in the DOJ’s OLC. Don’t worry. He probly won’t do much until *after* the midterms… 1/
2/ Josh Craddock announced his appointment on 7/2/25.
Houraney “recalls encountering Epstein at Mar-a-Lago in Jan 1993” & says “Trump asked him to organise a party” w/ “some of his pageant’s finalists…[A]fter an hour at the party, Houraney says, there seemed to be only one other guest: Epstein.” 3/14/20 1/
