Twelve Days Before Trump’s Bank Cut Him Off, Somebody Wrote A Memo
Capital One hasn’t released it. The Trumps’ own lawyers described it in a filing nobody read. Plus 25 states in court over the tariffs, and the nurse ICE picked the wrong fight with.

Thank you to everyone who voted today. And a special thank you to everyone who volunteered and helped at the polls! 💚
