What was Bill Pulte’s charity really funding with this mystery donation? It gave $65,000 to a nonprofit that records suggest is an LLC linked to Trump's legal defense.

Why did Bill Pulte's charity give $65,000 to a supposed nonprofit, "One World Love LLC," that doesn't seem to exist? www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

From me and @dfriedman.bsky.social: Why did Bill Pulte’s charity give $65K to a nonprofit that doesn’t seem to exist? The recipient may actually be an LLC with ties to Trump’s lawyers. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

SCOOP from @h-lev.bsky.social + @dfriedman.bsky.social:
In 2023, Bill Pulte's charity donated $65K to a nonprofit called One World Love LLC. But records show One World Love is tied to a law firm that represented Trump in his efforts to prove election fraud and avoid paying damages after January 6.

Tresasury Sec Scott Bessent just told the House Financial Services Committee that there will be a Super Bowl ad this weekend for the new Trump accounts for babies. Who is paying for that pricey commercial?

Wow, this story. It is so telling of the news landscape we live in that a not-so-mini bank bailout seems to be happening as we speak and...almost no one has noticed.

Why you should care about Trump’s war on the Fed "Jay Powell is not corrupt. The people prosecuting him are."

I talked to @jasonfurman.bsky.social about the Trump admin's decision to launch a first-in-history criminal inquiry into Fed chair Jay Powell—and what happened in other countries when leaders compromised central bank independence. (Tl;dr it wasn't good!) www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

The administration is freezing $10B in child care and anti-poverty funding in five states—putting care for hundreds of thousands of working-class families at risk.

Cuts or delays this large will strain providers, disrupt quality care for children, and could force working parents out of their jobs.

YES. Thayer Street businesses need our $ right now and East Side Pockets is the absolute GOAT. My go-to order is a gyro-falafel combo wrap! Also low-key the best waffle fries in Providence.

Providence people - I’m working on a story about how residents first learned about the Brown shooting. Word of mouth, social media, official alerts? Feel free to DM me if you’re willing to share your experience (would need to use your full name)

The longer that the Brown shooter goes un-caught, the more room there will be for the spread of conspiracy theories, misinformation, AI junk, and all manner of racist/xenophobic speculation.

This worries me. And we're already seeing it.

As a Brown alum and Providence resident, I have been trying to find the right words to capture the vast grief layered across this community and the people who love it. In the end, I’m not sure if it’s really, fully possible to articulate. But I tried: www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Poppy Alexander, an attorney who specializes in matters that involve cutting-edge financial frauds, including those involving cryptocurrency, said that niche memecoins are almost always pump-and-dump schemes: “The only people who make money are the people who usually get in before the coin is even launched.” A report from crypto-tracking company Solidus Labs published this year echoes this assessment: It found that 98.6 percent of the memecoins launched on the exchange where $ZACK was started were pump-and-dump schemes.

Why does it matter that Pulte promoted $ZACK to his 3 million followers on X? As one expert told @h-lev.bsky.social, "The only people who make money are the people who usually get in before the coin is even launched.”

With news that there is no suspect in custody for the Brown shooting, Providence isn't just a grieving city. It's an *anxious and scared* grieving city.

A dreadful time.

And all of this is magnified for folks at/affiliated with Brown U.

I grew up in Allston as part of a family of immigrants. BU students are temporary guests in a corner of Boston that has long been a hub for immigrants from around the world. To do this (and to claim allegiance to the neighborhood along the way) is abhorrent.

The best bar in Providence that you’ve never heard of (and probably can’t find) - The Boston Globe With a long list of liquors, mocktails, and beers on tap, The Graduate Center Bar, which operates as a private club, is a place where friendships are crafted among the cocktails.

Not only is the GCB the perfect dive bar, but it is also a nonprofit, plus the owners will let you throw a rager of a wedding reception (I would know!). Glad it is getting its time to shine: www.bostonglobe.com/2025/10/23/m...
