It's almost like Trump's financial projections were not realistic from the get go.

From Sept. 2020--

"In its 2012 appeal of the GSA’s decision to go with Trump’s bid...a rival consortium...took both the agency and the Trump Org to task, saying the project couldn’t succeed because the lease payments were too high"

A pro-Ted Cruz super PAC has received $630,000 from iHeartMedia, which produces his podcast.

Today, the House is holding a hearing on a bill iHeartMedia wants to see passed.

Ted Cruz co-authored the bill and is promoting the hearing.

Cornel West's campaign raised $92,000 in March.

That's $13,000 LESS than what Joe Biden's campaign earned in bank interest that month.

FEC commissioner Trey Trainor wants you to know his yard now sports a Ted Cruz sign.

Two weeks ago, two gov't watchdogs asked the FEC to investigate Cruz's podcast deal for potentially violating campaign-finance laws:

NEW: The Patriot Legal Defense Fund, created for Trump allies, has spent $478,000 in 2024--but next to nothing on attorneys fees.

Almost all of the money has gone to HaystackID, the firm the Trump Org hired to oversee its compliance with NYAG subpoenas.

NEW: Ted Cruz is the subject of yet another watchdog complaint

Nope, this one’s not about his book deals or trying to overturn an election.

Largely pro forma, but Cruz was just granted an extension to file his personal financial disclosure. Now due in August as opposed to May.

UPDATE: There's another one--

Today @campaignlegal asked the Senate Ethics Committee to investigate if Cruz violated the honoraria prohibition "by disguising speaking fees from hosting a podcast as payments to a super PAC."

Never been prouder of a paycheck than the one I just received--

Gave up three days pay as part of a walkout protesting @Forbes unfair labor and bargaining practices.

The state of the Forbes Union is strong.

Amy Kremer, an organizer of Stop the Steal, is the treasurer of Women Vote Smart.

That PAC just informed the FEC, "Have been ill and hospitalized. Filing form 99 for no activity per Abby at FEC."

The PAC has missed every filing deadline since 2019.

I've joined a super majority of my colleagues in the newsroom and have walked off the job for three days in protest of @Forbes slow-walking contract negotiations and interference with union activity.
