Omar’s Sudden Political Wealth

THREAD: Timothy Mynett: Ilhan Omar's husband and the progressive money man you've probably never heard of Ilhan Omar's wealth headlines ($30M net worth ) are dominating today's feeds. But behind that story is someone far less visible: her husband, Tim Mynett. Not the ex with the bizarre "married her brother" rumor. This one is far more interesting, and far more connected. For nearly two decades, Mynett has been the quiet operator raising millions, plugging into D.C.’s progressive networks, and eventually pivoting into global business ventures. From poli-sci undergrad in New York... To moving foundation money at Alliance for Justice... To consulting alongside Obama’s inner circle at New Partners... He's climbed rung by rung through the fundraising machine that fuels progressive politics. This thread unpacks: His rise through nonprofits & campaigns His deep ties across the progressive donor universe The surprising pivots... from digital firms to wine, cannabis, and impact investing with ex-ambassadors Let's dig in.

Corrupt Politician Proudly Wears the Evidence

Diamond ring? That's a whole new level of corruption. Or, even more scary: is this the NORMAL level of corruption which we have refused to acknowledge, because we have been shut out of these schemes while they have been raised in that world all their lives? A lot of my worldview has been dismantled this year. But, for some reason, entertaining the possibility that 100K diamond rings are normal in that world feels like crossing a line -- because it's the last line which moves from "they lie to themselves about the good they're doing" to "they are knowingly participating in evil."

The Myth of 𝐂𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐞𝐥 𝐝𝐞 𝐥𝐨𝐬 𝐒𝐨𝐥𝐞𝐬 being a Myth

𝐂𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐞𝐥 𝐝𝐞 𝐥𝐨𝐬 𝐒𝐨𝐥𝐞𝐬: 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐁𝐢𝐳𝐚𝐫𝐫𝐞 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐩𝐢𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐲 𝐓𝐡𝐞𝐨𝐫𝐲 𝐘𝐨𝐮 𝐍𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐊𝐧𝐞𝐰 𝐋𝐞𝐟𝐭𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐬 𝐇𝐞𝐥𝐝 I have a feeling this could turn out to be the most important rabbit hole yet, so pay attention to this thread. Most conspiracy theories claim some shadowy cabal is secretly pulling the strings. But here's the twist: this one insists the cabal doesn't exist at all. For decades, prosecutors and journalists have pointed to the Cartel de los Soles, a Venezuelan military-political network accused of moving tons of cocaine with impunity. U.S. indictments call out generals, ministers, even Maduro himself. Yet powerful leftist voices, from Alliance for Global Justice to COHA analysts to UN drug officials, swear it’s all fiction. They label the Suns cartel a “myth,” a “media creation,” or just “narco-mythology.” Even the Wikipedia page brands it as merely “alleged.” Ex-UN drug czar Pino Arlacchi says it’s as fake as the Loch Ness Monster. NGO allies echo “no evidence.” Wikipedia editors refuse to treat it as fact. Why are so many powerful voices so insistent on denying the Cartel of the Suns exist? I don't know. But I suspect there is a powerful financial incentive here. Let's see if this makes the trolls as angry as they were about yesterday's boat thread. Scroll down for receipts

The Dragon’s Tail

Theory that @wcdispatch and I came up with: 1. USAID money goes to foreign NGOs 2. Foreign NGOs donate to American nonprofits 3. These American umbrella nonprofits (such as Somali Education Resource Center) in turn own many smaller LLCs such as child care or food service 4. These LLCs donate back to the Democratic Party History’s biggest money laundering operation?
