Trump accusing billionaire supporter Miriam Adelson, the widow of the casino magnate Sheldon Adelson, of allowing the PAC she has funded with millions of dollars, Preserve America, to be run by "Republicans in Name Only," also known as RINOs.

This sounds like another felony to add to the list. PACs are not allowed to coordinate with candidates or their campaigns, which is how they're allowed to raise unlimited amounts of money. Trump directing how the PAC be run sure does sound like coordination to me.

2 in 46 US-Presidents are addicted to crime. You can help now. For only a small amount, you can feel like you have done something.

If anyone doesn't get that stuff like this is always said with a nod and a wink... they don't understand how truly broken our campaign finance system is in reality. The Citizens United case is blinding proof that this Supreme Court has been in the bag for conservatives and reactionaries for decades. Project 2025 is the tip of the iceberg when it comes to the wealthy, empowered by Reagan era Neoliberalism, attempting a fascist takeover of the United States. It's the Business Plot (or "Wall Street Putsch") of 1933, but in super slow motion.
