NYT bestselling author of 6 books on the GOP’s assault on democracy, including American Kompromat. Apple Books says my latest,Den of Spies, about the 1980 October Surprise, is "the scariest political thriller you've ever read." www.craigunger.com.
Exactly. It’s an enormously important part of Trump’s corruption not just because it allowed the Russians to bail him out after his many bankruptcies. It also helped him conceal his illicit ties to Russia.
Indivisible Colorado@indivisible-co.bsky.social · 3d agoyoutu.be/BkE3z8DYEhI?... @craigunger.bsky.social was talking about Trump's Russian Laundromat 9 years ago!
Great article, worth reading. A teaser: "Silicon Valley, left unregulated, built social media into a powerful amplifier. Trump and the media executives who bent to him finished the job. Together, they dissolved the ground journalism was built to stand on — for everyone, at the same time."

Nothing Moves the Needle
Not that long ago, the press could root out corruption, topple presidents, and end wars. Now, even the biggest scoops have little impact. Here's how and why the media lost its mojo.

Six congressmen bought between $83,000 to $245,000 in SpaceX stock just before its IPO: -Jared Moskowitz -Gil Cisneros -Dan Meuser -John McGuire -William Timmons -John James Five serve on committees whose work impacts SpaceX's business. We must ban members of Congress from trading stock.
🔥READ THIS…PLEASE! For that matter, read everything written by Craig Unger, between now & 11/3…please. I’m just asking you to read. That’s not a heavy lift! Being informed/educated before voting is the best weapon we can all apply to the preservation of our Democracy, & the cessation of this Hell!
Nothing moves the needle on Trump scandals. He's an asset of Russian intelligence! Yawn. He's used the White House to grift billions of dollars! Ho hum. Check out my latest post to understand how and why the media lost its mojo. craigunger.substack.com/p/nothing-mo...

. “Donald Trump is an asset of Russian intelligence.” When it was over, I was delighted with the way my talk was received. But one thing was striking: there was no pushback whatsoever to the shocking premise of my talk.
