Also: what are the implications of private citizens tax records being made public? ProPublica cames these records were provided to them anonymously.

Painful reading a daughter’s account of how her father’s boss treated her dad, after all Michael Cohen did for Trump.

The RNC has turned Facebook into the most effective Surveillance Capitalism Tool

Andrew Marantz takes an in depth look at Brad Parscale in the March 2nd, 2020 edition of the New Yorker . Parscale didn't necessarily invent any new social media tools in his subliminal digital marketing campaign on behalf of Donald Trump in 2016. He understood marketing, (social) media, and tech.
