In sum, the jury found that Trump falsified business records to aid or conceal an effort to help him win the 2016 election by “unlawful means” (under NY law). The “unlawful means” involved covering up a hush money payment to a porn star b4 the election. 1/ forbes.com/sites/alisondu…

In sum, Trump rigged the 2016 election by illegally falsifying business records to cover up a hush money payment to a porn star. Trump’s behavior defrauded voters, but Trump & MAGAs falsely claim that TRUMP is the victim. 1/ theguardian.com/us-news/articl…

Rep. Thomas Massie has introduced a bill to abolish the Federal Reserve. (You can see the co-sponsors in post 2.) Project 2025 has teased this as a possibility as well. Massie apparently hopes to move the Overton window. 5/17/24 h/t @MomsSol

😳 Project 2025 wld “increase the risk of financial crises, undermining confidence in the U.S. banking system & its financial markets” bc it calls for the next [GOP] president to reduce the power of the Federal Reserve, limiting its ability to serve as a so-called lender of last resort for banks & other financial institutions facing cash crunches.” 1/ nytimes.com/2024/04/07/mag…Image 2/ “Trump has also proposed a 10 percent tariff on all imported goods, which would amount to the declaration of a global trade war, with other countries almost certainly retaliating with their own tariffs.
Together, these protectionist policies would drive up the cost of goods, create sweeping supply-chain issues and quite possibly cause hyperinflation.”

If u want to know where the Christian Right wants to take America, watch “Shiny Happy People,” a documentary about the Duggars. Below is Michael Farris with the Duggars. Until last year, Farris led the ADF, which was “silent co-council” in the case that overturned Roe. 1/ Image 2/ Michael Farris practically invented the phrase “parental rights.” He’s also a co-founder of the Convention of States, a project to amend the Constitution. He’s hardcore evangelical & on the Board of Governors of the CNP, the Christian Right’s umbrella organization.

The Claremont Institute has a Sheriffs Fellowship program. Alums of the program include Sheriff Mark Lamb and Sheriff Chad Bianco. 1/ claremont.org/wp-content/upl…
Image 2/ Sheriff Mark Lamb is reportedly tied to the Constitutional Sheriffs and Police Officers Association (CSPOA). The CSPOA was "founded by former Oath Keepers board member Richard Mack" and "claims sheriffs are the highest law of the land, superseding any federal or state authority. The movement arose from the far-right “Posse Comitatus” movement in the 1970s and ‘80s, and its legal claims have been thoroughly debunked by legal experts." mediamatters.org/fox-news/arizo…Image

"Here’s the Secret 'Sheriff Fellowship' Curriculum From the Country’s Most Prominent MAGA Think Tank," the Claremont Institute, By Jessica Pishko, 9/21/22 1/ slate.com/news-and-polit…
Image 2/ "While the Claremont Institute restricted public access to the [sheriffs] fellowship, a review of the fellowship’s previously unreported curriculum reveals a program that presented for the sheriffs two sets of people in America: those communities sheriffs should police as freely and brutally as they see fit, and those 'real' Americans who should be considered virtually above the law."
