A Latino group that has been directly involved with protests against Donald Trump and Republicans and whose "sister" organization leads an $80 million anti-Trump network was awarded a $250,000 grant late last year from the Department of Homeland Security. apple.news/A14COqNDpRcWmz…
The protests—described at the time as "spontaneous" by the media—were later found to have been planned since one day after Trump defeated Hillary Clinton in the 2016 elections.
Following the group's protests at JFK airport, Make The Road New York participated in the #DeleteUber campaign that called for people to boycott the ride-sharing company after it allowed drivers to pick up passengers at the airport during the protests.
MRNY was also involved in the #GrabYourWallet campaign that targeted retailers who sold Trump family products. Nordstrom ultimately dropped Ivanka Trump products from its stores.
The Center for Popular Democracy (CPD), a New York-based liberal ‘nonprofit’ that consists of old chapters of ACORN, is referred to as the "sister" organization of MRNY in the biography of Ana Maria Archila, the co-executive director CPD.
Archilla joined CPD after acting as the co-executive director of Make The Road New York, where she had been since the group was founded in 1997.
The two groups have passed hundreds of thousands of dollars to each other, tax forms from both groups show. (I will post them shortly.)
They’ve "partnered" on the "Corporate Backers of Hate" mass lobbying campaign that involved direct pressuring of higher-ups at corporations they claimed directly benefited from Trump policies.
Amongst the groups directly targeted during the campaign are:

• JPMorgan Chase
• Wells Fargo
• Goldman Sachs
• Boeing
• Disney
• IMB
• Uber
• BlackRock
• Blackstone

This attack was called “unprecedented” by several worthy experts.
The Center for Popular Democracy Action, the 501(c)4 sister organization to the CPD, leads the massive $80 million anti-Trump network that was announced last year and is said to span across 32 states with 48 local partners.
Their focus: ⤵️

• Mobilizing new voters and fighting against voter identification laws while also getting involved in gerrymandering efforts and automatic voter registration in regards to the 2018 and 2020 elections.
Rep. Keith Ellison, the deputy chair of the Democratic National Committee, publicly backed the effort led by the Center for Popular Democracy Action. Image
CPD currently shows partnerships with more than 50 other left-wing organizations across the United States, according to their website.

👉🏻CPD is an approved funding org of 👉🏻The Democracy Alliance, the largest dark money donor network that was co-founded by 👉🏻Soros.
@DHSOIG, @DHSgov - we have a big problem.

The author of a major review into cyber security says recommendations he made back in February would have helped tackle the major Crowdstrike IT outage crisis today.

Despite the McPartland Review being published in February, the recommendations ended up sitting on a shelf because Mr Sunak called the general election in May.

The plan to tackle today’s Crowdstrike problem was put on a shelf somewhere back in February, because there was an election.

Today, there are several reports circulating that Maricopa County Elections also “experienced an outage at some voting locations.” Image
Many X users are lashing out saying “today isn’t Election Day” - to me, it doesn’t matter what day is Election Day. Crowdstrike needs to be taken out of our election systems so people can feel more comfortable casting their vote, making sure it counts and cannot be manipulated.

The gunman who tried to assassinate Donald Trump was spotted on the roof nearly 30 minutes before the shooting, according to reports by WPXI-TV.
MORE:

Beaver County’s ESU team had eight members at the rally, including snipers and spotters. According to multiple law enforcement sources, one of them noticed a suspicious man on a roof near the rally at 5:45 p.m., called it in and took a picture of the person.

That person was Thomas Crooks.

26 minutes after a second picture of Crooks was taken by law enforcement and the information was called in, shots were fired from the roof of the American Glass Research building.

🇺🇦 Zelensky and his gang have legalized the purchase of agricultural land in Ukraine by foreign entities

At the moment, three companies have already bought 17 million hectares of agricultural land. This is slightly less than half of all agricultural land - 42.7 million hectares - Mriya

Another such purchase - and there is no Ukrainian country. No land for the people.

Via Ukraina.Ru
Based on the information provided, three large American multinationals have been reported to have purchased significant amounts of agricultural land in Ukraine. These companies are:

1. Cargill
2. DuPont
3. Monsanto (which is officially German-Australian but with American capital)

These companies are said to have collectively bought 17 million hectares of agricultural land in Ukraine.
There are several US politicians who have received campaign contributions from Cargill or have been associated with the company.
Here are some key points:

1. **Senator Tina Smith (D-Minn.)**: She is one of the top federal recipients of campaign cash from Cargill’s political action committee or company employees.

2. **Senator Amy Klobuchar (D-Minn.)**: Although not directly mentioned as a recipient of contributions from Cargill, she has been criticized for her stance on monopolies while being supported by Cargill, which has a near total monopoly on the global agricultural system.

3. **Various members of Congress**: The party split of federal recipients of campaign cash from Cargill shows that both Democrats and Republicans have received contributions from the company.

4. **Former Iowa Governor Terry Branstad**: Although not a federal politician, he is mentioned in connection with the Farm Credit Scandal and has been involved with Summit Carbon Solutions, which has ties to Cargill.

These are the key points related to US politicians being involved with Cargill.

“I’m looking forward to hearing from President Biden,” Hakeem Jeffries told AP’s Farnoush Amiri this morning. “And until he articulates a way forward in terms of his vision for America at this moment, I’m going to reserve comment about anything relative to where we are at this moment, other than to say I stand behind the ticket. I stand behind the Senate Democratic majority. And of course, we’re going to do everything that we need to do as House Democrats to win.”
Reporters for CBS asked Pelosi, “What do you say to Democrats who feel that there should be another nominee after the president’s debate performance last night?” Pelosi evaded the question entirely, saying “I’ll make a statement about this, but not right now.”

BREAKING: WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange has agreed to plead guilty to a felony charge related to his alleged role in one of the largest US government breaches of classified material, as part of a deal with the Justice Department that will allow him to avoid imprisonment in the United States, according to newly filed federal court documents.
MORE: Under the terms of the new agreement, Justice Department prosecutors will seek a 62-month sentence – which is equal to the amount of time Assange has served in a high-security prison in London while he fought extradition to the US. 

The plea deal would credit that time as served, allowing Assange to immediately return to Australia, his native country.
I’m very happy for Julian and his family. Cried, even.

However, the Justice Department did this for the wrong reasons. And everybody knows it.
