The Washington Post got hold of Donald’s secret donor list for the White House ballroom. 💰

Apple and Nvidia at $25 million each. Microsoft, Amazon, T-Mobile. About half the money from companies with federal contracts — paying into an account the president controls.

His response? Go after the leaker. For “the most transparent and accessible president in history,” Donald, that’s an awful lot of secrets. #HeyDonaldTrump #PaulaPoundstone #Trump by @paulapoundstone

This Saturday, October 17, is No Kings Day — millions of people peacefully in the streets to say we govern ourselves, with elected representatives and no kings. 🏛️

Last year, right after No Kings Day, Donald knocked down the East Wing of the White House. So… what are you going to knock down this time, Donald — the residence?

There’ll be millions of us out there who aren’t afraid of you. Find your event and come join in. #HeyDonaldTrump #PaulaPoundstone #NoKings by @paulapoundstone

Today’s thing: contact your candidates’ campaign offices and ask how you can help. They’ll put you to work — phone banking, canvassing, postcards, driving people to the polls. Twenty days left; they need the hands now.

📍 Come see Paula: NO KINGS Day, Colorado Springs, this Saturday, Oct 17, and Grassroots Democratic HQ, 1025 Westwood Blvd, next Sunday, Oct 18 (postcards + laughs — last week was a blast).

21 days until November 3rd. 🗳️

Today’s thing: work on your ballot. Voting for judges and don’t know where to start? Your State Bar Association often rates judicial candidates, and your local ACLU site can help too. Don’t give up — fill it out ahead of time.

📍 Come see Paula: Cloverfield overpass protest Wed, Oct 14 at 4 PM; NO KINGS Day, Colorado Springs, Sat, Oct 17; and Grassroots Democratic HQ, 1025 Westwood Blvd, next Sunday, Oct 18 (postcards + laughs — last week was a blast).

Per a Wall Street Journal report, your Ambassador to Greece — Kimberly Guilfoyle — allegedly asked a wealthy Trump donor to cover her $100,000 American Express bill, in exchange for access to your inner circle. 💳

There’s reportedly even a text: “It won’t show up anywhere if you wire money to American Express.” (Her attorney disputes the messages.)

She nailed your values, Donald. #HeyDonaldTrump #PaulaPoundstone #Trump by @paulapoundstone

22 days until November 3rd. ⚠️

Today’s thing: warn people away from Elon Musk’s PAC-funded site — I’m breaking up the name on purpose so this doesn’t link to it: “vote safe dot org.”

Fact-checkers (Snopes, Popular Information, CNN) found it’s run by Musk’s America PAC, it vacuums up your personal data, and the voting info it shows may not even be accurate. Post about it — but separate the words so you don’t create a clickable link.

To actually register or check your status, use the official government site: vote dot gov (or your state’s election office).

📍 Reminder: Cloverfield overpass protest, Wed, Oct 14 at 4 PM. (Pogo count tonight: 62. 🤸 Don’t eat pasta before you pogo.) Larry and I love democracy. See you tomorrow — stay strong, we are gonna do this together. 🐈‍⬛ by @paulapoundstone

Donald announced an “energy ceasefire” between Russia and Ukraine. 🕊️

Small problems: Zelensky says he found out from social media. Putin never clearly agreed. And Russia bombed a Kharkiv power plant within hours.

No one has ever pulled off a surprise ceasefire, Donald. The people at war kind of have to know about it. #HeyDonaldTrump #PaulaPoundstone #Trump by @paulapoundstone

23 days until November 3rd. 🗳️

Today’s thing: back your candidates. Donate, buy their t-shirts from their websites, get the word out — and vote blue.

(Opening note from Paula: the U.S. just became one of only three countries to turn down international poll observers… alongside Russia and Belarus. Fun block party. Thought someone was worried about fraud?)

📍 Reminders: Cloverfield overpass protest Wed, Oct 14 at 4 PM, and NO KINGS with Indivisible in Colorado Springs, Saturday, Oct 17.

At his Tennessee rally, Donald promised to give every adult citizen $5,000 a year — if Republicans win Congress. 💵

That’s about a trillion dollars. It needs Congress. The math doesn’t work.

Couldn’t you have just gone with, “I’ll be your best friend,” Donald? #HeyDonaldTrump #PaulaPoundstone #Trump by @paulapoundstone
