'Part of a Movement': Jill Stein to Help Cornel West Build 'People-powered' Presidential Campaign
by Maya Bodie
June 24, 2023

Introduction:

(Common Dreams) Former Green Party presidential candidate Jill Stein has signed on to support Dr. Cornel West's 2024 campaign, CNN reports.

The former Harvard professor and long time civil rights activist announced his Third-Party White House bid earlier this month, in which he noted he will run for the People's Party.

However, according to the report, West "quickly broke off from that group, which has limited campaign infrastructure amid concerns about ballot access, to join the Greens and seek their nomination."

The 2024 hopeful noted, "Any candidacy to run the empire, in order to dismantle the empire, has to be part of a movement."

Trump Has Been 'Quietly Diverting' Money Away from His 2024 Re-election Campaign
by Tom Boggioni
June 25, 2023

Introduction:

(Alternet) A slight change in the small print in Donald Trump's online disclosures reveals an increase in the money contributors have been donating to help him win the Republican Party's 2024 presidential nomination is being shifted to help to pay his legal bills.

According to a report from the New York Times, the diversion of funds raises questions about the cash crunch the former president is facing with multiple indictments at the state and federal level with more expected to come.

As the Times' Maggie Haberman and Shane Goldmacher wrote, the "diversion" of campaign cash to his Save America PAC -- which is helping to pay his legal bills among other expenses -- was done with little fanfare.

The report states, "When Mr. Trump kicked off his 2024 campaign in November, for every dollar raised online, 99 cents went to his campaign, and a penny went to Save America," before adding, "But internet archival records show that sometime in February or March, he adjusted that split. Now his campaign’s share has been reduced to 90 percent of donations, and 10 percent goes to Save America."

According to the report, that has meant that approximately $1.5 million was skimmed off to help with his legal woes that could have been used to boost his election prospects.

So... DeSantis is now promising to invade Mexico

DeSantis Promises Mass Deportations, Threatens Military Action While Knocking Trump As Soft on Immigration: ‘We Would Be Much More Assertive’

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis (R) knocked former president Donald Trump for his handling of the southern border during his first term in office in an interview with Fox News’s Bill Melugin, promising that he would deliver on the policies Trump purported to support in 2016.

DeSantis was dismissive of Trump’s recent pledge to “carry out the largest wave of mass deportations in U.S. history,” telling Melugin that “he [Trump] said that in 2016 as well and then didn’t do it.”

On Monday, DeSantis’s campaign took that line of thinking even further, threatening military action on Mexican soil if the Mexican government failed to take steps to mitigate the flow of migrants.

“If the Mexican government won’t stop cartel drug manufacturing, DeSantis will surge resources to the Navy and the Coast Guard and block precursor chemicals from entering Mexican ports,” it said in a statement, adding that he would “reserve the right to operate across the border to secure our territory from Mexican cartel activities.”
