ProPublica: Ken Paxton says he's tough on crime. His trust invested $600,000 in a convicted fraudster's company. "The blind trust's investment in Wildcatter offers a new, unreported look at the attorney general's financial ties with … executives whose prosecutions he typically celebrates."

This is crazy. But excellent reporting by NPR... www.instagram.com/reel/DefrMQh...

instagram.comnpr on Instagram: "The products promise younger-looking skin. The salespeople promise special deals. But customers at skincare stores across the count…"The products promise younger-looking skin. The salespeople promise special deals. But customers at skincare stores across the country say they’ve walked away with something else entirely: thousands of dollars in unexpected charges and purchases they can’t return.Over the past year, NPR investigated complaints from shopping malls in Michigan to hotel spas in Hawaii, where customers reported being pressured into spending thousands of dollars on skincare products they never wanted. The stores had different names and different owners, but shared a common connection.NPR’s Monika Evstatieva and Caley Fox Shannon interviewed more than 50 people, reviewed hundreds of consumer complaints and examined court records and internal documents. Their reporting led them to Mazal Group, a California-based company run by a family originally from Israel that controls dozens of skincare brands sold in independently operated stores around the world.More than a decade ago, federal agents documented what they called a “credit card overcharge scheme” at stores selling some of the same brands. Their investigations also uncovered immigration and money-laundering crimes that led to more than a dozen guilty pleas.Yet customers continue to report similar tactics at stores across the country. So NPR set out to trace the connections between the stores, the products and the family business behind them.Reporters: monika1681 • Monika Evstatieva/NPR, Caley Fox Shannon/NPRProducer: Bronson Arcuri/NPRView all 4,101 comments

Well, well, well…. An analysis of voter registration records reveals Republican operative Scott Presler had 3 out-of-state voters use his Pennsylvania address to vote in the 2024 election. This is what voter fraud looks like.

"Underage girls testing positive for pregnancy at detention centers." Let me fix that for you. "ICE officers are raping little girls in detention centers." There you go.

I feel like it should be a much bigger story that in early 2025 the MAGA regime requested a cybersecurity agency to secretly acquire a voting machine and hack it and directed them to not alert the voting machine company if it uncovered flaws. That’s called setting up for rigging an election.

Please read and share this little thread. It comes from Jon Oliver's recent program and it speaks volumes to what's happening in our elections. You should be on guard, as should your family and friends.

I think it's important to note that most Republicans / Maga think Musk is going to steal this election so they don't have to put much effort into it. Keep reading.. the next part is critical...

The FAA’s drone‑traffic bulletin basically admitted the skies are turning into a tech bro obstacle course. Airspace shouldn’t feel like Mario Kart.
