Updated: Seems he took money from Harlan Crowe — Justice Thomas’s buddy and billionaire hard-right mega donor. He also used his family liquor fortune, and loans from it, and his Gelato brand, to finance his campaign runs. He forgave the loans to his campaign — so in part, he self-financed his runs.]

I don’t care (much) about the specific politics of this.

But… since Scott Johnson has made it very plain that this MN Rep. Dean Phillips, and Democrat, is his blood cousin… we will track it (false flag?!).

Dean has supposedly filed to seek the Democratic nomination in New Hampshire — and (in theory) oppose Mr. Biden’s re-nomination.

That’s an American right — and freedom — to say nothing of ordinary rough and tumble electioneering / governance.

This morning, we read that Dean’s X (formerly Twitter) account has been suspended by Elon Musk.

It is hard to imagine that Dean would have written anything to warrant it, from a national security or hate crime perspective.

We will keep a very close tab on this story. And we will see if Scott, a supposed Musk supporter on the “open debate” public square theory of old Twitter, now X… emerges to criticize or support whatever animated this “deplatforming”.

Should be rich with… irony, at least.

Onward.
