I don't particularly care about Platner one way or another but this is just a really big assumption you claim definitively that we don't have evidence for and if anything evidence suggests a domain buyer grabbed it and they bought it later

You have here on the timeline that Platner registered GrahamforSenate in 2023. I really do not think we know who registered it. It was an anti-Lindsey Graham site then was registered in 2023 and parked. IP ownership changes August 2025. You could see this if the campaign bought it from a seller

This is a wild, must-read to find out some of the people the Trump pardon-seeking cottage industry is benefiting

Daily Wire reports a doc shows a third company (out of only four) allowed to bid for the Noem ad campaign was a company owned by Kash Patel’s longtime personal publicist and spokesperson.

Time to pull out Jim O'Neill's kidneys walking around seasteading clip, as Nature is reporting Trump plans to nominate him as next leader of the National Science Foundation.

Following this story's publication, a local reporter found that Rakhi Israni only recently registered as a Democrat from β€œNo Party Preference" in Nov. 2025 and infrequently voted.

Someone else tipped me off to the fact that she was endorsed by the 4th largest donor to MAGA Inc/

It's hard to know what Loomer and Cornicelli, fringe MAGA candidates in NY and Florida, could do for someone running a test prep company in California

Israni has also donated to opponents of Roe v. Wade, election deniers, and a veteran for Trump who wrote a book about whiteness.

She has ties to Hindu nationalist groups and opposed CA’s caste discrimination legislation.

Trump ties Iran strikes to claims that Tehran interfered in U.S. elections President Donald Trump suggested Saturday that his military strike against Iran may have been driven in part by claims that the country interfered in the last two U.S. presidential elections.

As U.S. and Israeli bombs started to fall, Trump took to social media to link the unauthorized military actions with the Big Lie.

Trump posted an article asserting that β€œIran tried to interfere in 2020, 2024 elections to stop Trump, and now faces renewed war with United States.”

The second case is an absolutely WILD case about a postal service employee refusing to deliver someone's mail because they are Black.

The majority is a conservative win, 5-4, with Gorsuch joining the liberals to dissent.

ICYMI: We obtained the missing three FBI interviews with the woman who said Epstein and Trump abused her in the early 1980s. The FBI memos reveal unsubstantiated and at times outlandish claims. House Dems opened an investigation earlier this week into why the files were missing from the public files

UPDATE: The plane was towed to the terminal around 3pm. Migrants are reportedly "at the terminal," though it's unclear to me if that means still on the plane or off of it. And if off, unclear if they are still shackled.

I mean I’m sure she heard about it independently. It’s still standard practice in journalism and the right thing to do to credit the outlet that beat you. I do it!

Brb going back in time and uncrediting easily half the outlets I’ve ever credited that beat me because I also knew about the story before

Someone involved emailed the reporter asking why they didn’t credit us and her answer was that she knew about the case before we published. ??? As if that’s ever been the standard for crediting previous reporting of the exact same story a week before. lol

This is an interesting story @nytimes.com

It was even more interesting when I broke it a week and a day ago in The Intercept which you did not cite or mention.

There’s no memo. It’s just us contending with ourselves. Now that’s scary

People who want a fairy tale that they will find some hidden memo of Trump raping kids somewhere emotionally don’t want to contend with the fact that people voted for Trump and all that means and that his banal evil won’t be magically vanquished by some secret revelation to save us all
