According to new court filings, Capital One closed the orange felon’s accounts in 2021 due to extensive patterns of money laundering.

Once a fraud, always a fraud and that criminal piece of shit has been using the US govt as a tool for his latest money laundering operation.

Trump sued Capital One to prove they closed his accounts over politics.
The bank’s answer, filed Friday: it was the anti-money-laundering desk.
Months of review.
Three hundred accounts.
He pulled that thread himself.

ICE is not about immigration. ICE is not about the southern border. ICE is about normalizing paramilitary force on our streets.

It cannot be reformed. It cannot be retrained. ICE must be abolished.

Trump's DOT is planning to roll back a requirement that airlines display total ticket prices more prominently in their advertising.

It's an Obama-era rule started in response to complaints from flyers that they felt deceived when buying tickets.

Yet another way Trump is making flying even worse.

This can effectively be done through a compact among states to award all their electoral votes to whichever presidential ticket wins the national popular vote.
