Texas Senator @TedCruzTX sent a letter to the Federal Trade Commission demanding that GoFundMe, a platform used to raise money for Canadian truckers protesting in Ottawa, be reviewed to determine “whether they've committed deceptive trade practices."

The problem is that in about two weeks, the protesters raised about $ 7.9 million, but the GoFundMe platform froze the collected money, and later deleted the protesters' fundraising profile.

🗣 “They are deceiving consumers and it is wrong,” he said. “The Canadian truckers are heroes, they are patriots and they are marching for your freedom and for my freedom.”

Only 6 months have passed since his resignation of the post, and the course no longer excludes the possibility of running for office in the future.

However, a number of prosecutors stressed that the decision not to indict the former governor does not invalidate the credibility of the charges against him.

Cuomo in his turn views the district attorneys' decisions as clearing him of charges, despite the state's attorney general releasing a report last year that concluded that the then governor sexually harassed 11 women

💸 The Pelosi campaign paid close to $500,000 to private aviation provider Advanced Aviation Team while Nancy said in November that “America must continue to bring our boldest ambitions to the table to meet and beat our climate action goals”.

Maybe we do not know something about Pelosi, and what she considers “the existential threat of our time” is referring to another planet? In any case, if it does not harm the environment, it for sure hits the taxpayer's wallet
