The Daily Beast Latest Articles | Ex-Boyfriend Reveals Ghislaine Maxwell’s Greedy Demand by Josh Fiallo AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information. Ted Waitt, the billionaire founder of Gateway, testified before the House Oversight Committee that he ended his seven‑year relationship with Ghislaine Maxwell in 2010 by giving her a $7.2 million “palimony” payment—plus monthly allowance while they dated—to help her maintain the lavish lifestyle she was accustomed to, noting she was unhappy with the amount and wanted more. He said he never received any written agreement, had no knowledge of her involvement with Jeffrey Epstein until after their split, and now regrets ever associating with her, especially given her later conviction for sex‑trafficking crimes. Waitt’s testimony also highlighted his prior wealth, their overlapping timelines with Epstein, and past social connections to figures such as Bill Clinton, while he affirmed he gave no further funds after the breakup.

Since Congress and SCOTUS are owned and corrupt, we must act. We carry the union, especially the revenue. #Democrats

There are many problems with #USA #democracy Like the stupid #ElectoralCollege Gore beat Bush in 2000, Clinton beat Trump in 2016. In the popular vote. The EC erased it Well here's another reason for you to #vote in the #primaries and the general #election: The #Democrats, if they win enough in November, can kill the EC It's been a 20 year effort of states agreeing to void the EC if enough agree: the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact https://www.vox.com/politics/487766/national-popular-vote-interstate-compact-electoral-college https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Popular_Vote_Interstate_Compact

Let's check in on the failures of Donald Trump, Ballroom Republicans, and the GOP: China is going in on wind power while we falter. https://www.nytimes.com/2026/05/05/business/china-wind-turbines.html We're cancelling wind projects left and right. https://www.nytimes.com/2026/05/04/climate/wind-power-delays-trump-pentagon.html?smid=nytcore-ios-share We're also hiding reports on the safety of vaccines. https://www.nytimes.com/2026/05/05/us/politics/fda-covid-vaccine-studies.html #politics #democrats #democracy #california #santaclara #USPol #CAPol

@gimulnautti@mastodon.green @heidilifeldman@mastodon.social you're being aspirational, and correct, but you're not announcing *how* to achieve that it's like going "arrest #Trump!" ok and? how? to get #rankedChoiceVoting, which is creeping in in the #USA, and would allow for stable viable 3rd parties... how? we have to elect #Democrats who support that (some do, some don't: vote in the #primaries people!) the #GOP has taken a blanket stand against #RCV nationally, so this is the only way forward

Republicans are counting on Democrats to play by the rules, follow the laws and take the high road. It gives Republicans an overwhelming edge because they can fight as dirty as they want while Democrats discuss the legality of even entering the ring. Democrats will never win while constantly discussing whether to bring a pillow to a gun fight. #republicans #MAGA #democrats #trump #iran #war #Midterms #middleeast #politics #oil #Israel #news

Donald Trump is a loser, and he and the GOP can't escape his failures. How are they messing up right now? Trump is threatening to pull troops from multiple countries, weakening the US, destroying our ability to station and refuel, and in general screwing things up. https://www.politico.eu/article/donald-trump-threatens-spain-pedro-sanchez-and-italy-giorgia-meloni-with-us-troops-withdrawal/ He's already pulling a few thousand from Germany. https://www.reuters.com/world/us-withdrawing-5000-troops-germany-us-officials-say-2026-05-01/ #politics #democrats #democracy #california #santaclara #USPol #CAPol
