Nearly half of all corporate money contributed this cycle has come from cryptocurrency backers!

Last week, Public Citizen’s Rick Claypool and I filed a complaint with the Federal Election Commission based on my research into apparent campaign finance violations by the Coinbase cryptocurrency exchange.
Read the full complaint and my updated article.

Coinbase appears to have violated campaign finance laws with a $25 million super PAC donation
Actively involved in contract negotiations with a federal government agency, Coinbase was likely prohibited from making its $25 million contribution to the Fairshake cryptocurrency-focused super PAC in May 2024.Molly White (Citation Needed)

The cryptocurrency industry has been working overtime to sell a story: that there is a large contingent of voters voting based on candidates’ crypto policy stances. The problem is, it’s a story that does not seem to be well supported by data.

When did cryptocurrency policy become a voter issue?
I don’t believe that it has.Molly White (Citation Needed)
"I am not Christian", says Trump while explaining how he can "fix it" so voters won't have to vote anymore.
So far as I can tell (I've been away), it was entirely done using Twitter: no speech, no press conference, no advance notice to his aides. Looking at https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/ , I don't even see a press release.
Putting aside any issues one might have with Twitter, this is not how to manage an important matter. I've seen people joke that this was a coup by the intern who manages Pres. Biden's social media account. I don't see how to prove it wasn't.

“Before he entered politics, President Trump donated $6,000 to Kamala D. Harris’s reelection campaign while she was California attorney general, campaign finance records show.
Trump gave $5,000 to Harris’s campaign in September 2011 and $1,000 in February 2013. His daughter Ivanka Trump gave Harris’s campaign $2,000 in 2014, records show.”

Trump previously donated $6,000 to Kamala D. Harris’s campaigns
The contributions were made in 2011 and 2013, when Trump had largely stopped donating to Democrats.David A. Fahrenthold (The Washington Post)
Did you know #Project2025 calls for “the entirety of the CISA #Cybersecurity Advisory Committee should be dismissed on Day One.” (page 155).
If you like being able to use computers (or do anything with organizations that use computers, including have your vote counted in elections) that’s a very bad idea.

Axios is right-leaning, but their journalists are warning of the dangers from #TFG's annihilistic, antidemocratic, & cruel platform:
"You have to love how Axios’s plain language summary of Trump’s platform is “He’ll set up concentration camps and jail his political enemies” - literally fascism and tyranny - but somehow this all gets sidelined in our day-to-day discourse."
-W Stancil
