@normeisen.bsky.socialTrump keeps breaking the law, & we & our partners keep beating him in court
Just lately: his $1.8 B slush fund tossed, his mail ballot order blocked & the bogus charges against Davey Hearn dismissed for good
Every round of it, in this week's @contrariannews.org publisher's note👇 -TN
@normeisen.bsky.social"Honey please I need you to get this done for me today"
Allegedly Amb. Guilfoyle, asking Trump ally to wire $100K to her AmEx before her confirmation
She also asked him to quit putting it in writing
Just item 1 of 10 in this week's @contrariannews.org publisher's note 👇 -TN
@normeisen.bsky.socialIn Trumpworld, everything has a price tag
An ambassador allegedly wanted cash wired straight to her AmEx, $TRUMP holders bid for dinner w/ the president & Wall Street can pay to see his posts before you do
The full price list, in this week's @contrariannews.org publisher's note 👇 -TN
@normeisen.bsky.socialBREAKING: We sued Trump for raiding $20M of your money, some meant to honor fallen officers, for his midterm ads
He says "his" super PAC will cover the tab now. And the millions you already paid?
@democracydefendersaction.org & Hecker Fink rep @wisdems.org & a D candidate👇
@normeisen.bsky.socialSTATEMENT OF ABBE LOWELL AND NORM EISEN, COUNSEL FOR FED GOVERNOR LISA COOK, IN RESPONSE TO WHITE HOUSE "HEARING" ANNOUNCEMENT
@normeisen.bsky.socialPresidents use blind trusts so nobody has to wonder if the guy setting economic policy is trading on it
Trump skipped that part —- Thousands of stock trades, nearly $2B in his pocket later
Nothing like it in American history

@normeisen.bsky.socialPay-to-play now accepts American Express
Trump's ambassador to Greece Kimberly Guilfoyle allegedly leaned on a donor to cover her $100K bill as a nominee
He has the texts & he's talking!
More on @cnn.com👇 -TN
@normeisen.bsky.socialGuilfoyle & Deters are the headline but Trump set the tone
He's made $2 B in office while nearly a million people lost money on his meme coin & 80%+ of voters say corruption is costing them
Voters will remember in Nov.
@nicollewallace.bsky.social & I dug into it on @ms.now👇 -TN
@normeisen.bsky.socialSending questions about Ambassador Guilfoyle over to Marco Rubio is a dodge
Americans already link the corruption to their own struggles, & this one comes w/ a video confession…Not going away!!
Here's my take on @ms.now 👇 -TN
@normeisen.bsky.socialTrump says the Kennedy Center is too dangerous to walk into
Unless you play in the National Symphony, which rehearses there most weekdays
@democracydefendersaction.org & WLG are still in court w/ @repbeatty.bsky.social. Say one thing, do another, as we told @nytimes.com👇 -TN
@normeisen.bsky.socialCamp David, Windsor Castle, the Elysée Palace... & a Trump golf club?
That's the real pitch, comped memberships for future presidents included
The Emoluments Clause would like a word
I'll get into it & more @ms.now at 5pm ET👇 -TN
@normeisen.bsky.socialAnother day, another judge telling Trump he can't pick his own press corps CNN, MS NOW & Politico stay in while he rules on the ban by Tuesday This from the White House that left CNN off Air Force One under a court order. Shocking, I know 👇
@normeisen.bsky.socialThe usual embassy scandal is a seating chart mix-up
Amb. Guilfoyle has been bringing an energy lobbyist in Greece to official events & reportedly pumping a Trump donor for payments over Signal
She denies wrongdoing, but I'm rubbing my eyes
Diplomatically speaking, on @cnn.com👇 -TN
@normeisen.bsky.socialMost people use AmEX for the points. In the Amb. Kimberly Guilfoyle texts, it's so the money "won't show"
I was an ambassador myself & I've never seen anything like this
She denies it, but you can smell this one from Athens!

@normeisen.bsky.socialBREAKING: Round 2! After a cease-and-desist to the White House last week, JMSN just sent one to Trump's MAGA Inc. super PAC over "Love Me"

@democracydefendersaction.org, Ballard Spahr & Hecker Fink are in JMSN's corner 👇 -TN
@normeisen.bsky.socialHouse GOP leaders sent members home early rather than risk a vote on the rest of the Epstein files

@milestaylor.bsky.social has a message for men ahead of Nov 3👇 -TN
@normeisen.bsky.socialDavey Hearn is out training for bike races while the president is still trying to make him a criminal
Guess which one has a judge on his side
Case dismissed w/ prejudice, & @democracydefendersfund.org, WLG & Steptoe & I are w/ Davey the whole ride
Davey's fight is everyone's fight @cnn.com👇 -TN
@normeisen.bsky.socialHow do you charge a man when your own evidence shows the reflecting pool unchanged before & after he touched it?
Ask the Davey Hearn prosecutors
@democracydefendersfund.org, WLG, Steptoe & I said so the day after his arraignment. Then 6 more times
More on @cnn.com👇 -TN
@normeisen.bsky.socialBig day for accountability, & Trump is already backing down on some of it
@democracydefendersfund.org & partners are keeping the pressure on
I'll get into it w/ @lauracoates.com on @cnn.com tonight @11PM Hour 👇 -TN
