Aaron Fritschner (@fritschner.bsky.social) reposted
The mortgage fraud claim against Lisa Cook is false, per documents obtained by Reuters. Bill Pulte's accusation, the sole pretext Trump used to fire her from the Fed, was that she claimed two homes as primary residence. These docs show she did not. www.reuters.com/world/us/fed...

Please be careful out there. The right wing has no capacity for nuance. Their silence after the murder of the Hortmans and their glee after Paul Pelosi was attacked is beyond hypocrisy. Kirk should not have been assassinated for his activism - as abhorrent as I find his POV.
