Welcome to Popular Information a newsletter dedicated to accountability journalism. Congressman Max Miller (R-OH) is facing serious allegations of domestic abuse. Several companies, including Elevance, Altria, Pfizer, John Deere, and TD Bank, sent donations to Miller that were received after the Daily Mail published its report. Dozens of other corporations, including AT&T, Kroger, DraftKings, Nike, and Walmart, are maintaining their financial support for Miller’s campaign. Jared Kushner, President Trump’s son-in-law, pledged not to be involved in a second Trump administration, instead claiming that he would be focusing on his private equity company. But Kushner has been involved in nearly every consequential foreign policy negotiation since Trump returned to office. These negotiations are not going well. The Strait of Hormuz is closed, the Russia-Ukraine war has intensified, and Israel is rejecting U.S. leadership in Gaza. Polymarket has touted its prediction market as a “global truth machine.” Yet official Polymarket accounts on X have repeatedly spread brazen misinformation. Most recently, a Polymarket account posted a false graphic claiming babies in the U.S. receive 72 vaccine injections. |
