This week’s main story is about how more and more white nationalists, antisemites, and Nazi sympathizers seem to be integrating into the Republican Party, how some of them are currently running for office, and how old you can be for JD Vance to consider you “a very young boy.”

This report is genuinely overwhelming, in terms of the evidence both against Trump and of a ham-fisted cover-up. Including one instance in which Ghislaine Maxwell was actually about to mention one of Trump's young accusers and Todd Blanche told her to stop talking. The media response is "yawn."

He'll be shocked to learn that, in 2020, someone tried to convince the Georgia Secretary of State to fraudulently add 11,780 votes to Trump's count. The guy who did that should be in jail. Can I get the $1,000,000 for reporting that? Does it matter that I'm Canadian?

Even with all the levers of power he has his hands on, and even with control of every mechanism in the federal government, Trump has been unable to find election fraud. So he's crowdsourcing it now.

Thirty years of screaming about Soros as the shadowy puppet master, and their own guy laps him out in the open in two years flat. Turns out they never hated money in politics. They just hated that it was not all theirs.
