- Reposted by Ian ChristieA UAE investor secretly gave Trump $187 million and his top Middle East envoy $31 million. And then Trump gave that investor access to sensitive defense technology that broke decades of national security precedent. Brazen, open corruption. And we shouldn't pretend it's normal.

- Reposted by Ian ChristieThis, along with the seizure of ballots and voting data, is another massive red flag for Americans: This is the kind of thing authoritarians say and do when they are preparing to rig the vote.
