the ex-president picked up the phone and rang up several close associates and TV-prone political allies. According to two people familiar with the matter, the twice-impeached former president was sounding testy and had a simple request:

He wanted his prominent supporters to go on television and in public this week to declare that Gen. Mark Milley should be “arrested” for “treason.”

They followed his orders as various MAGA-faithful pundits and Trumpy candidates—including Ohio U.S Senate candidate Josh Mandel, Trump-aligned TPUSA frontman Charlie Kirk, and several former Trump officials—dutifully echoed the “treason” charge on social media.

And by Tuesday evening, the twice-impeached former U.S. president was on a Newsmax show co-hosted by his former White House using the T-word.

Quote from: Jennifer Rubin

How utterly predictable that Politico would run the zillionth hit piece on a prominent woman, especially one candid in her critiques of Politico's hysterical, clickbait style of coverage. The notion that I am polarizing in a newsroom (as opposed to any of the dozens of other opinion writers) is a "take" only Politico could come up with — by of course running around to ask the question in the first place. I trust the Post's superb news side folks spend zero time thinking about me (as is entirely appropriate). My only surprise is that Sam [Stein, POLITICO’s White House editor], a very good journalist, would become enmeshed in such an obviously misogynistic publication. Surely there are finer publications that would have him.

And btw, what a low class move to do this on Yom Kippur at the last moment.

Quote from: https://nypost.com/2021/09/18/aocs-tax-the-rich-dress-designer-aurora-james-is-a-tax-deadbeat/

The company racked up three open tax warrants in New York state for failing to withhold income taxes from employees’ paychecks totaling $14,798, the state Department of Taxation and Finance told The Post. The debts — which were incurred before the pandemic — stem from 2018 and 2019. The company has been hit with 15 warrants in total since 2015.

The company got into a deeper hole with the feds. Between April 2018 and April 2019, the Internal Revenue Service placed six federal liens on Cultural Brokerage Agency totaling $103,220. The liens specifically cite the company’s failure to remit employee payroll taxes.

...

While James apparently has no problem stiffing the Taxman, she isn’t shy about taking money from taxpayers — her company received in $41,666 in pandemic relief aid.

Over the years Cultural Brokerage Agency has also faced multiple legal challenges as a result of habitual nonpayment of worker benefits.

In October 2019 the state Worker’s Compensation Board slapped the company with a $17,000 fine for not carrying worker’s-comp insurance between March 2017 and February 2018. The company currently owes $62,722 and no payments have been received to date

...

Though AOC proudly labeled James a “working class” designer as they waltzed down the Met Gala red carpet, her lifestyle has been anything but. As the pandemic raged across America, igniting a deep recession, James scooped up a $1.6 million residence in Los Angeles in September 2020.

The Tudor-style home with cathedral ceilings, a master-bedroom fireplace and backyard hot tub sits on 7,095 square feet in the posh Hollywood Hills, according to RedFin.

True to form, the property is already listed as “delinquent” by the Los Angeles County assessor’s office, which told The Post James owed $2,504 in property taxes.

...

Ocasio-Cortez, who has made a career out of demanding better worker wages and benefits, and taxing the rich to pay for her budget-busting federal programs, did not respond to multiple requests for comment.

Quote from: https://www.prnewsonline.com/aoc-met-gala-dress-response/

The annual Met Gala routinely attracts the eyes of those with an interest in creativity, celebrity and high fashion. However, this year, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez attended her first Met Gala, provoking a true statement. Bright red script saying “TAX THE RICH” stood out across the back of her white gown, generating conversation on both sides of the political spectrum.

Now, as many PR practitioners know, utilizing a very public platform to deliver a message doesn’t happen overnight. Teams of communicators plan and strategize messaging and delivery. In this case BerlinRosen worked with the designer, Brother Vellies’ creative director Aurora James, as well as with Ocasio-Cortez’s PR team.

Janna Pea, EVP, BerlinRosen, worked with James, a Black woman designer who founded the 15 Percent Pledge, during the social justice reckoning during the summer of 2020. The 15 Percent Pledge encourages retailers and corporations, in the fashion and beauty space, to sign an agreement dedicating 15 percent of their buying power to Black-owned businesses. Notable signees include Gap and Sephora.

“My role and our role as the communications support was about helping to uplift and amplify their message and this moment," Pea said. "It is inspiring how this vision came together and our firm was proud to be a part of that process."

Pea noted the importance of preparation and providing a context for reporters to include when delivering the messaging. This included prepping materials that highlighted talking points for the congresswoman and James, as well as offering select reporters nuggets of info without giving everything away.

“The whole point was to make it a surprise, and teeing up the right reporters, so they had the context behind the look,” Pea said. “Because it's one thing to see the dress and say, 'Oh, my goodness, why would you do this?' But to have the context as to WHY they did it—and make sure the press understood, that was our role."

The dress certainly caused a stir, trending on social media. It remains a topic of articles and conversation several days later. Some pundits found the message ironic at a lavish event, while others applauded the bravado of the statement amidst the Met Gala grandeur.

...

Pea said the message is doing exactly what it was meant to do, attract attention.

“I'm not sure anybody could have fully prepared for what the outcome truly was,” Pea said. "The goal was for people to see it and be inspired. Rep. Ocasio-Cortez is a young woman of color in powerful position to deliver a powerful message on the carpet—a message that got folks to say, 'Oh, wait, what does that mean? And why does she feel like she needs to put that on a dress?' The wealth gap continues to grow and the collaboration between Aurora and the congresswoman addressed that. I’m glad conversations are continuing to be had around this topic."

I want to note that I was partially wrong. He doesn't want to just create a Texas Military. He also claims the U.S. Constitution gives him the power to unilaterally seize control of all US military forces and equipment in Texas to repel any "invasion" which of course the prescience of any single "illegal alien" in Texas is equivalent to. Not even the Confederates claimed this power!
