ICYMI (and last year’s Harvard meshugaas), hedge fund billionaire #BillAckman is torn between his recent urge to go full clown-mode vs. saving his own fortune. 🤡 “The hedge fund manager said that he supported Trump’s #tariffs, but implored the president to call a ‘90-day time out’ on Monday.” nytimes.com/2025/04/06/busines

The New York Times · Global Stocks Plunge, Extending Rout Caused by Trump’s TariffsBy River Akira Davis

the #MAGAts have discovered that public government databases are public and are having a field day pawing through data they don't understand to accuse people they don't know of committing crimes they also don't understand (specifically "money laundering" is the new bogeyman).

here's #BillAckman declaring it obviously corrupt that political offices subscribe to a political news service via money from #USAID (except, of course, the data he's looking at makes it extremely clear the money is not from USAID).

it's very clear where this is going: #ElonMusk and co. are going to get ahold of #CIA and #FBI internal records and use them to gin up outrage akin to the #TwitterFiles nonsense and then use that as an excuse to kill the agencies.

"Everything is a conspiracy when you don't know how anything works."

p.s. wait til they find out how much money the government spends on subscriptions to newspapers...
