- Another Politician Caught Taking Money From A Foreign Government - Eric Adams Faces Federal Charges
New York City Mayor Eric Adams has been indicted on five federal charges related to bribery, wire fraud, conspiracy and soliciting campaign contributions from foreign nationals, according to a 57-page indictment unsealed Thursday morning.
The indictment alleges illegal actions stretching back to 2014, from when he was Brooklyn Borough president.Specifically, Adams received luxury travel and other benefits from a Turkish official and later in exchange pressured the NYC Fire Department to open a Turkish consular building without a fire inspection, the indictment says.Related article: https://www.cnn.com/2024/09/25/us/new-york-city-mayor-eric-adams-indicted/index.htmlFollow - Independent Thought:

21 min - CONTROVERSY: Jill Stein Refuses To Call Vladimir Putin A “War Criminal”
Green Party candidate Jill Stein is facing backlash after a video went viral in which she refused to call Russian President Vladimir Putin a war criminal.
In an interview released by Zeteo on Monday, host Mehdi Hasan grilled Stein on Russia's invasion of Ukraine, in which tens of thousands of Ukrainians have died, before alleging that she has not called out the Russian president for attacks on civilians."We looked at your social media and you haven't done that many posts specifically calling out Russian attacks on civilian areas," Hasan said. "You haven't called Vladimir Putin a war criminal, but you have called Benjamin Netanyahu a war criminal."Related article: https://www.newsweek.com/jill-stein-vladimir-putin-war-criminal-1954965Follow - Independent Thought:

9 min - Jill Stein DEFEATS Democratic Party Effort To Keep Her Off The Ballot In Georgia
An administrative law judge is set to decide whether Green Party presidential candidate Jill Stein’s name will appear on Georgia ballots in November following challenges by the Democratic Party.
Stein’s application seeks to use a new Georgia law that allows a political party to get on the state ballot if the party is on the ballot in at least 20 other states. Democrats say Stein’s application, filed by the Georgia Green Party, is invalid because the Georgia branch is not affiliated with the national Green Party.Related article: https://www.ajc.com/politics/georgias-green-party-scrambles-for-ballot-access-as-challengers-attempt-to-bar-the-way/VIZUA6O4VVA4LDXO4O2L5BNTYE/Follow - Independent Thought:

I will NEVER SURRENDER!”Related article: https://apnews.com/article/trump-shooting-gunshots-florida-f62f8378d3a8ce7b2e99d6a8fb40aba9

17 min - RFK Jr FORCES Ballots To Be Reprinted In North Carolina After SUPREME COURT Ruling
North Carolina’s Supreme Court ruled Monday that the State Board of Elections must reprint presidential ballots to remove former independent candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s name from the ticket.
The decision marks a significant win for Kennedy, who suspended his campaign in critical swing states more than two weeks ago and subsequently endorsed former President Trump. The independent candidate has since launched an effort to remove his name from ballots in the battleground states where the race is expected to be close in November — a move aimed at boosting Trump’s support.In the 4-3 decision Monday, the state’s top court said it was clear that Kennedy ended his campaign and that a vote for him would not count. The order stressed the importance of protecting the right to vote over other concerns.Related article: https://thehill.com/regulation/court-battles/4871613-north-carolina-supreme-court-rfk-jr-ballot-win/Follow - Independent Thought:
