@CarpeDonktum @TheQuartering Wow. That escalated. What finished it off?

Imagine being such a bitch that you delete your account, because of internet trolls. @thequartering

@jarvis_best @3YearLetterman Does the stomach have a nipple? Must be cold in the Oval Office.

Dying at “He’s a person I’ve known for a long time.”

@CherylPahaham @Mr_Berman @NOTUSreports Cheryl, seek mental health treatment immediately. You are delusional.

@Mr_Berman @NOTUSreports Who cares. We have a current presidential administration committing fraud and murder with regularity, while working strenuously to weaken the rights and freedoms of the American people. Stay on those stories.

some sections of the (partial, disputed) DNC autopsy report appear to be lifted from other published work, without citation notus.org/democrats/dnc-…

@0hour1 Sue him.

Fucker bet me ten grand, now he blocked me.

@Jefftrueman3 @SusieWiles47 Jeff—What crime did he commit? Empty and baseless threats make you look mentally ill.

@SusieWiles47 Maybe a GITMO Military Tribunal(s) reunion God willing.

Today is a day I hoped would not come. But young, brilliant and talented people grow and move on to new chapters. Robert Gabriel has worked tirelessly for President Trump for over a decade. He was by my side as we built and managed the 2024 campaign to historic victory, organized the White House team during transition, and played a pivotal policy role during the ambitious first 100 days of the second Trump administration. Over the past 12 months, Robert has achieved great success as the Principal Deputy National Security Advisor to President Trump and to National Security Advisor Marco Rubio. Most of all he’s been a trusted confidant and dear friend to me and his White House colleagues, Thank you, Robert. We wish you much success in your endeavors ahead. Very well earned, my friend.

@snorman1776 What about property owners? Or net tax payors vs tax consumers?

A 45 year old vote should count 2x that of a 75 year old.

@Hansolo37059705 @unusual_whales What does “live respectably” mean in 2026? The answer to that question is a never ending game. The poorest of the poor live better than anyone did 100 years ago and likely even 50 years ago. Cell phones? Cheap TVs? Electricity? Running water? Easy access to food?

@unusual_whales Lower income brackets should be given the ability to live respectably with low wages. This benefits all of society, by nurturing an army of content and respectable people to do the millions of much needed jobs. I’m fine with not taxing lower income workers, we all win.

Jeff Bezos has said the bottom half of Americans should pay zero federal income tax.

@mtgreenee Go away.

It’s not an antisemitic conspiracy theory when a foreign lobby openly brags that they bought two congressional seats with candidates who will be loyal to Israel.

@quantum_trader @unusual_whales You must have been outraged by Biden’s pardon of his son. Oh, you weren’t. STFU if you choose to give a crap now.

@unusual_whales You gotta be kidding…. So shocking….. The US are now run by a big Criminal Organization!

BREAKING: Trump and sons to be ‘forever’ exempt from tax audits, per FT

@ChrisLaCivita @unseen1_unseen Massie is “principled”. 🤣

Deceitful shit till the bitter end

@FletchLives9021 @yashar Biden set the stage with Hunter’s pardon. So yeah, that’s where we are now.

@yashar This is like the shit we make up in Monopoly when trading properties. But fine, this is what we do now.

As part of President Trump’s settlement with the IRS, the federal government has agreed not to pursue audits or other tax-related actions tied to a broad range of past tax matters involving President Trump, his family, and related businesses. The language of the agreement is extremely broad and applies to tax returns filed before the settlement date.

@yashar Family pardons are cool so whatever.

@GigaBasedDad @LibertyCappy Weird. I’m under 55 and think Massey is a piece of shit. Guess you are a liar.

Everyone 55 and under on the Right supports Thomas Massie Imagine what the country is going to look like in 10-20 years with a new generation of youth and the Baby Boomers largely passing away?

@OUinsideT @gothburz Research. Try doing some instead of blaming Jews. #h-reputation-laundering" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">quincyinst.org/research/forei…

@EsqRando @gothburz Curious how u would know that? 1) bc it's illegal. 2) American branches of foreign owned companies can contribute and as far as we know, publicly, European Co contribute the most. But I'm guessing you're a 'trust me bro' kinda guy

I am the Senior Director of Congressional Replacement at AIPAC. That's not my official title. My official title is something with "government affairs" in it. But "Congressional Replacement" is what I do. When a member of Congress votes wrong on our line item, I build the operation that removes them. I have a budget. I have a timeline. I have a vendor stack. And I have a record you can verify: Jamaal Bowman, New York, removed 2024, cost $14.5 million. Cori Bush, Missouri, removed 2024, cost $8.5 million. Thomas Massie, Kentucky, removal scheduled May 20th 2026, budget $25.6 million. That's the most expensive House primary in American history. I consider it a bargain. Let me show you why. **I. The Vocabulary** The donors need Massie removed because he voted against our foreign aid appropriation. He was the sole Republican to oppose the Iron Dome Supplemental in 2021. The sole member of Congress, not sole Republican, sole member, to oppose a resolution affirming Israel's right to exist in 2023. He has voted against every foreign aid package for thirteen years. But you can't run ads in rural Kentucky that say "your congressman voted against sending your tax dollars to a foreign government and we'd like to correct that." Kentucky would elect him twice. So we needed a different word. The word is "disloyal." In 2014, voting against every spending bill was called fiscal conservatism. In 2019, it was called the Tea Party mandate. In 2026, it is called disloyalty to the President of the United States. I didn't change the votes. I changed the vocabulary. The President was happy to co-sign. He called Massie "the Worst Republican Congressman in History." He called him a "bum." He said "vote him out." We coordinated the timing. I wouldn't call it a product launch. But I wouldn't object if you did. **II. The Money** Here is how the budget breaks down. United Democracy Project, our super PAC, contributes $2.6 million. The Republican Jewish Coalition adds $4 million. MAGA KY, a PAC managed by Tim Murtaugh, Trump's 2020 communications director, spends $5.6 million. Christians United for Israel buys the billboards. The individual donors, Paul Singer, Miriam Adelson, John Paulson, route contributions through a platform called Democracy Engine. I need to explain Democracy Engine, because it's my favorite part of the operation. Democracy Engine is a multi-party donor aggregation platform. What it aggregates, specifically, is attribution. A contribution enters Democracy Engine from a hedge fund manager in Manhattan. It exits Democracy Engine as a line item on a campaign finance report in Covington, Kentucky. The money doesn't change. The origin story does. Paul Singer manages $69.7 billion from a tower on 57th Street in New York. Miriam Adelson's net worth was built in Las Vegas casinos. John Paulson's office is on Park Avenue. Between them, they have never cast a ballot in Kentucky's 4th congressional district. They cannot name the county seats. They do not need to. Democracy Engine translates their preferences into Kentucky's. The candidate himself, Ed Gallrein, retired Navy SEAL, Trump-endorsed, raised $1.3 million on his own. That's nine percent of the total pro-Gallrein spend of $14.3 million. Ninety-one percent of the money behind the "Kentucky values" candidate was contributed by people who do not live in Kentucky, have never lived in Kentucky, and whose primary policy interest is the foreign aid budget of a country eight thousand miles from Covington. I present this as a design feature, not a flaw. Why would you want a candidate who raises his own money? Self-funding indicates self-thinking. Self-thinking introduces variance. Variance is risk. We don't invest in risk. We invest in compliance. **III. The Product** Gallrein has no voting record. No legislative history. No published policy positions that could be held against him in a future cycle. His campaign website lists the words "conservative," "freedom," and "Kentucky" in that order. His policy page is a photograph of him in uniform. I don't say this as criticism. I say this as a specification sheet. The ideal replacement congressman in 2026 is a résumé with a compliance guarantee. Pre-tested messaging. Zero ideological fingerprints. $14.3 million in someone else's convictions loaded like firmware. You don't need positions when your donors have positions. You don't need a record when your record starts the day you take the oath. He will arrive in Washington owing his career to three billionaires and four organizations. He will know exactly which line item pays his mortgage. The median household income in Kentucky's 4th district is $63,000. Paul Singer's net worth is $6.7 billion. That is 106,349 Kentucky households. One man, in one Manhattan office tower, earning the combined annual income of every family in the district he is about to staff. I don't find this ironic. I find it efficient. **IV. The Threat** Now here is the part I don't discuss publicly, and the reason the budget is $25.6 million instead of $14.5 million. Bowman and Bush were expensive. But they were Democrats. The base case. Massie is more expensive because Massie is more dangerous. Not because he has more support. Because of what he introduced in the House. The AIPAC Act. Formally: the Americans Insist on Political Agent Clarity Act. It would amend the Foreign Agents Registration Act. FARA. The 1938 law Congress passed to counter Nazi propaganda operations. Massie's bill would require organizations that primarily advance the interests of a foreign government to register as foreign agents. He means us. If AIPAC were required to register under FARA, every dollar of our $25.6 million operation would require public disclosure of its foreign-interest origin. Every donor. Every routing. Every Democracy Engine transaction. Every call to every member's office. All of it, in a searchable federal database, labeled: foreign agent. The bill will not pass. Massie won't be in Congress to reintroduce it. That's not a prediction. That's a line item on the budget. We are not spending $25.6 million to replace a congressman. We are spending $25.6 million to eliminate a regulatory threat. The seat is a byproduct. The product is the precedent. **V. The Precedent** This is the part I present to donors as return on investment. There are 435 members of the House. Every one of them is watching Kentucky. Every one of them can see the math. Massie voted wrong on one appropriations line item, and a coalition spent $25.6 million, more than any House primary in American history, to end his career. The message is not complicated. You do not need to spend $25.6 million on every district. You need one example. One member, destroyed publicly, expensively, and completely. The other 434 learn. The cost per compliant vote, amortized across the full Congress, is $58,850. I consider that competitive. Bowman was the proof of concept. Bush was the replication. Massie is the expansion into the opposing party. Left, right. The mechanism doesn't care. The mechanism has a budget line, not a party. If you vote wrong, the budget finds you. If you try to make the budget visible, the budget finds you faster. The primary is Tuesday. The polls show 48 to 43. If we win, we will have demonstrated that no member of Congress, regardless of party, ideology, seniority, or constituent support, can survive voting against our appropriation. Not a progressive in the Bronx. Not a libertarian in Kentucky. Nobody. And when someone asks how a congressman elected by 478,000 Kentucky voters was removed by three billionaires from New York, Las Vegas, and Manhattan, the answer will be the same word we've been using since the beginning. Loyalty. We don't need to register as foreign agents. We register as loyal Americans. The distinction is $25.6 million and a vendor platform that makes one look like the other. Everything I just described is legal. I need you to understand that. Not "technically legal." Not "arguably legal." Legal. Fully, completely, structurally legal. That's the product. Not the congressman. Not the seat. Not even the vote. The product is a system where everything I just described is legal. And you just read the whole thing.

@Rick82588886 @gothburz 1. China 2. Japan 3. South Korea. 4. Saudi Arabia. 5. UAE. Israel isn’t in the top 20. You’re the clown.

@EsqRando @gothburz Look at you!

@OUinsideT @gothburz That is a false statement. China is the number one country that uses PACs to influence our elections.

@EsqRando @gothburz He just did it on the #1 country that contributes politically. Every one of the ppl he mentioned are Americans. None of it is 'misinformation'. It's just truth you don't like

@endofanerajc At least they didn’t get the boobs.

@Erik78910 @gothburz Erik—Where does Israel fall on list of countries that fund political influence operations in the United States in terms of money spent? I’m all for pointing out political influence operations but Israel’s is a drop in the bucket.

@gothburz Foxnews Boomers will call this "antisemitic". If that is you, I hope you consider replacing AIPAC with a lobbyist organization that represents literally any other nation on Earth and see if you would find this acceptable.

@FreedNDeed @bonchieredstate Goalpost shifting is all you have. The files have been released. Congress members, including your god (Massie) can go read them. Instead your god defames innocent men on the floor of Congress. Victims can name names at any point. They can go to the police at any point.

@EsqRando @bonchieredstate They are not all public.

Which friends? Do we have names and desired charges?
