Coinbase appears to have violated campaign finance laws with a $25 million super PAC donation
Actively involved in contract negotiations with a federal government agency, Coinbase was likely prohibited from making its $25 million contribution to the Fairshake cryptocurrency-focused super PAC in May 2024.Molly White (Citation Needed)
As Grewal already knows perfectly well, we have replied to what he had to say about the complaint in a supplemental filing: citizen.org/wp-content/uploads…
As for being “put on notice”, I don’t know what he means by that.
Coinbase’s Chief Legal Officer Paul Grewal has now replied with a threat:

David Plouffe wrote on X that late-deciding voters are “breaking by double digits” for Kamala Harris, with “the remaining undecideds looking more friendly” to them than Donald Trump.
Politico: “His comments echo those shared by senior campaign officials earlier Friday on a call with reporters.”

Our top story: Compared to 2022, there’s less bullishness now about a coming wave, but the Republican Party still sees the region as part of the party’s future and is continuing its outreach there. In response, #Democrats, along the same lines as Vice President Kamala Harris, are now appealing to the moderate and undecided. texasobserver.org/rio-grande-v…

“In many ways, #Trump has won the policy argument at the border. Joe #Biden and Kamala Harris have both embraced versions of his bottleneck strategy and hope to choke off asylum access between official ports of entry. But, for the 11 million undocumented already in the country, the distinction between the parties remains bright.” texasobserver.org/editors-lett…

People make fun of the “what happens in the booth stays in the booth” election ads, but I know poll workers who have had to keep husbands out of their wive’s voting booths because they had to “make sure she votes right”. When I was phone banking I also talked with a woman who’s husband or boyfriend was clearly around and it almost definitely changed the nature of the call. Voter intimidation by men is a real problem and I’m glad these ads address it.

Why are so many women hiding their voting plans from their husbands?
A lot of households are not democracies; they’re dictatorships. This may mean voter intimidation and suppression.

As an active federal contractor, Coinbase is prohibited from making political contributions, including to super PACs. This makes $50 million that they have contributed in violation of pay-to-play laws for contractors.

I think she’s hit the nail right on the head.
Many women, when frightened, will either retreat & try to make themselves a small target (often necessary), or bravely face their fears and seek to overcome them.
Some men express their fear as anger, their violence & aggression driven by fear, not any carefully thought out rationale.
Trump is tapping into the fears of those men who don’t have the capacity (skills, education, temperament etc) to think things through. They like him, because he expresses his own fear & insecurity as anger. He doesn’t even try to be civil or measured now, making wild claims & promising hateful actions. He is running scared, scared of being shown up as an ignorant, incompetent fool, scared of rejection, scared of facing the consequences of his criminal actions. And some men relate.
A commenter at Citation Needed suggested I have not adequately explained why I support Kamala Harris, and why I believe it is absolutely critical that everyone who can vote comes out to vote for her. In case I have indeed not been clear, here is my response.
PLEASE vote.
This is outrageous. Even for Elon Putz.

Marc Anthony:
I’m here to tell you that even though some have forgotten … I remember.
I remember what it was like when Trump was president.
I remember what he did and said, about Puerto Rico…
About our people ...
I remember after Hurricane Maria devastated our island…
Trump blocked billions in relief … while thousands died.
I remember that when our families lacked clean water and electricity,
Trump threw paper towels and called Puerto Rico “dirty” and “poor.”
