New York City Democratic Mayor Zohran Mamdani condemned two NYPD officers after a chaotic arrest video out of Brooklyn went viral online.
The footage showed a violent struggle between two officers and a suspect inside a liquor store.
The incident occurred on Tuesday at a store in Brooklyn, according to a report from WNYW.
A source told the outlet that the officers were attempting to arrest a man they suspected of being involved in a drug deal.
The situation escalated quickly when the man repeatedly resisted arrest.
Video from the scene showed officers repeatedly punching the suspect in an effort to get him to the ground.
Warning: The following video contains vulgar language and violence that may be disturbing to some viewers.

This incident was captured by Sinistratm on Instagram and took place April 14, 2026 in Brooklyn at a liquor store on Hoyt and Baltic street.

The lengthy video ended with the suspect being escorted out of the store in handcuffs.
The NYPD has since placed both officers on modified duty.
New York City Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch confirmed the move during a news conference on Wednesday.
She said the department’s Internal Affairs Bureau is reviewing the incident.
Tisch added that more information will be released as the investigation unfolds.
Mamdani, a socialist who supported the “defund the police” movement, weighed in on the video.
He shared the footage and issued a sharp condemnation of the officers, presumably without having all the facts.
“The violence used by NYPD officers in this video is extremely disturbing and unacceptable,” Mamdani wrote.

The violence used by NYPD officers in this video is extremely disturbing and unacceptable. Officers should never treat a person this way. The NYPD is conducting a full investigation into this incident. https://t.co/zdQllljhyh

“Officers should never treat a person this way. The NYPD is conducting a full investigation into this incident,” he added.
His comments quickly drew pushback.
The New York City Police Benevolent Association criticized Mamdani for speaking out before the investigation is complete, WNYW reported.
The organization’s president, Patrick Hendry, said the mayor had rushed to judge the cops.
“We don’t know why the mayor is bothering to call for an investigation when he has already rushed to condemn the NYPD members involved without knowing all the facts,” Hendry said.

Starmer’s Iranian nickname makes a lot of sense in English, too
Is Starmer really a ‘kir’?
Failing British Prime Minister probably has been called worse, but Persian speakers around the world have a new, choice nickname for him.
In Iran and among the diaspora, Starmer is unable to avoid a rather unfortunate nickname.

Keir Starmer’s first name means dick in Persian. pic.twitter.com/fb8L2jtC6z

The Telegraph reported:
“To millions of Persian speakers, his first name sounds remarkably similar to a vulgar term for a penis. The word کیر – transliterated as “kir” – is one of the language’s most commonly used obscenities.
The linguistic similarity, long noted by Iranian diaspora communities, has sparked a wave of mockery on social media since the outbreak of the Iran war.”

The United Kingdom has endlessly appeased the criminal regime in Iran. The Prime Minister speaks of protecting the innocent civilians of Iran but failed to act to help stop the regime’s massacre of 40,000 innocent Iranians in January.
Only an end to this regime – that brings… https://t.co/zseMopIsW6

Starmer’s passivity during the Iran military clashes let Iranian diaspora users fuming.
“’From his name, you can tell what kind of man he is’, one user wrote on X. While the joke predates the Iran war, the volume increased in the past month, and peaked this week when Sir Keir declared that Britain would not take part in any blockade of the Strait of Hormuz.
The Prime Minister’s widely shared statement prompted an immediate eruption of jokes online, with many Persian speakers referring to him as ‘Kir Starmer’.”

Prick Starmer. ‘Iranians have a vulgar nickname for Starmer’ … so do we. https://t.co/W8PNNcb1bV

DNI Tulsi Gabbard has criminally referred Ukraine impeachment ‘whistleblower’ Eric Ciaramella and former intelligence community IG, Michael Atkinson to the Justice Department.
Fox News reported:
The Office of the Director of National Intelligence sent criminal referrals to the Justice Department for the whistleblower whose complaint helped trigger President Donald Trump’s 2019 impeachment and for the former intelligence community inspector general who notified Congress of the allegations, Fox News Digital has learned.
“I want to refer information that may constitute possible criminal activity in violation of federal criminal law committed by one or more former employees of the intelligence community,” ODNI’s general counsel wrote in the referral to the Justice Department.
Fox News Digital on Wednesday reviewed the referrals ODNI sent to the Justice Department.
“The possible criminal activity concerns the circumstances described in the following congressional briefings: Discussion with Intelligence Community Inspector General, House Permanent Select Comm. on Intel., 116th Cong. (2019); Briefing by the Intelligence Community Inspector General, House Permanent Select Comm. on Intel., 116th Cong. (2019),” it continued.
Tulsi Gabbard recently declassified a top secret document related to Trump’s first impeachment that then-House Intel Chairman Adam Schiff locked away in a SCIF [Sensitive Compartmented Information Facility] for years.
The House Intelligence Committee voted on Tuesday to release transcripts from 2019 hearings with the former Intelligence Community Inspector General, Michael Atkinson.
Former ICIG Michael Atkinson
CIA snitch Eric Ciaramella filed a whistleblower complaint in August 2019 over a July 25 phone call President Trump had with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky alleging Trump engaged in quid pro quo and pressured Zelensky to investigate the Biden crime family.
Changes were made to the whistleblower form to include watercooler talk, gossip and second-hand information and ICIG Michael Atkinson defended the changes.
Atkinson admitted in a previous statement that the agency changed its own whistleblower rules *because of the anti-Trump complaint* from CIA snitch Eric Ciaramella.
NSC operative Eric Ciaramella with Barack Obama
Although, the form should not have been accepted based on second-hand information and because it was about the President of the United States (who is not in the IC), Atkinson accepted the complaint.
The whistleblower later attempted to edit the form he originally provided.
The original form stated that the whistleblower did not talk to Congress before filing the form but after it was discovered that he had met with Adam Schiff’s team in Congress, the whistleblower attempted to edit his form.
Then-House Intel Chairman Adam Schiff lied when he stated publicly, “we have not spoken directly with the whistleblower.”

EU ‘darling’ Magyar is already getting pushback for his comments.
All the Euro-Globalists are celebrating the defeat of conservative champion Viktor Orbán, and the election of Péter Magyar.
Since his election, Magyar has been saying whatever he pleases, as he is treated like a conquering hero by the MSM.

However, his comments made Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić snap at him, branding his comments about Russia’s Vladimir Putin ‘playing Godfather to autocrats’ as ‘foolish’ and ‘stupid’.
The Hungarian Prime Minister-elect had claimed that Putin pulls the strings in Serbia, too.
Hungarian Prime Minister-elect Peter Magyar via Heute.at
Euronews reported:
“Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić became the first foreign leader to clash with Hungary’s Prime Minister-elect Péter Magyar, just one day after Sunday’s parliamentary elections.
Magyar’s Tisza Party secured a landslide victory at the polls, ending Viktor Orbán’s 16-year grip on power. Orbán and Vučić had maintained close political ties throughout that period.
Speaking to Serbia’s state broadcaster on Monday night, Vučić dismissed Magyar’s earlier remarks as ‘stupid’ after the Hungarian leader suggested he knew who was orchestrating the political alliance between Orbán, Slovakia’s Prime Minister Robert Fico, and Vučić.
‘I know exactly what is going on in Serbia, and I also know what kind of entanglement exists between the Orbán government and Vučić-led Serbia, and between Slovakia’s Robert Fico and Viktor Orbán’, Magyar said at an international press conference on Monday.”

A new investigative report has revealed that California’s Medi-Cal program is providing full sex change treatments, including cross-sex hormones, breast implants, and preparation for genital surgeries, to homeless illegal aliens living in taxpayer-funded shelters in San Francisco.
The City Journal report details how shelters are housing illegal aliens from countries including Honduras, Mexico, El Salvador, and Venezuela while refusing to cooperate with federal immigration authorities.
At St. Vincent de Paul’s MSC-South facility, the city’s largest shelter, which has a $66 million service contract with San Francisco, reporters encountered multiple illegal aliens receiving state-funded treatment.
One resident, “Lyca,” a Honduran identifying as a transgender woman, confirmed receiving cross-sex hormone therapy through Medi-Cal, saying simply, “Tengo Medi-Cal.”
Another resident, “Alondra,” also from Honduras and claiming asylum, was offered taxpayer-funded rent assistance for private housing but declined because he could not afford the ongoing costs.
WATCH:

The City Journal reports:
Lyca, who wore long hair and red lipstick, was candid about this arrangement. He confirmed that he was an illegal immigrant and that the shelter doesn’t ask questions about immigration status. “Tengo Medi-Cal,” he said, referring to the state health-care program, which, under Governor Gavin Newsom, began providing “full scope” coverage to illegal aliens, which includes transgender procedures, or “gender affirming care.” He said he was receiving cross-sex hormone therapy—and bore the physical signs of having done so.
Alondra, a muscular man in a camouflage shirt and dyed hair tied behind his head, said he had been in the United States after claiming asylum. According to the translator, the city government had offered to pay first and second month’s rent on private apartments for him and Lyca. But neither accepted the offer—in Lyca’s case, because he might not be able to pay for the apartment after the second month.
At the Embarcadero SAFE Navigation Center, a self-identified transgender “woman” from Mexico named “Jacqueline” openly discussed receiving hormone treatments and breast implants paid for by Medi-Cal.
He stated, “Even though you’re undocumented, you can get them,” adding that the process requires therapy and hormones.
When asked about “bottom surgery,” a procedure that can involve castration and creation of a simulated vagina, he replied that he is “waiting for that one.”
WATCH:

The Taimon Booton Navigation Center, which serves transgender, “gender non-conforming,” and “intersex” individuals, was also found to house groups of male-to-female transgender illegal aliens seeking the same medical treatments.
According to the report, word has spread through transgender communities in Latin America that “if you make it all the way to California, the government will pay for your shelter, hormones, and surgeries — no questions asked.”
Under Governor Gavin Newsom, Medi-Cal expanded to provide “full scope” coverage to illegal aliens, including sex change procedures classified as “medically necessary.”
The state does not check immigration status at these shelters, and employees confirmed they were instructed not to cooperate with ICE.
Neither the California Department of Health Care Services, which administers Medi-Cal, nor the shelters’ executive directors responded to reporters’ requests for comment.

Biden political prisoner and American hero Jeffrey McKellop pictured at home and at J6. Jeffrey served his country in Afghanistan after the 9-11 attacks. To this day, he insists that the J6 riot was a setup.
On the heels of the amazing news that Zachary Rehl and the 3 other Proud Boys have had an unopposed motion put forth by the DC Court of Appeals to vacate their convictions and remand for dismissal with prejudice of their January 6th cases, we still have January 6ers who are still battling.
Almost a year and a half has passed since the pardons, and the struggle is STILL real. The fight they are having is not limited to the courtroom or to the left. It is within their own communities that they have been fed propaganda about the people who went to the Capitol that day.
Jeff McKellop is a man who you’d never imagine would struggle at getting a job, taking care of his family, or fitting into the community. I have been recently updated on how Jeff is doing since the pardon.
Jeff, while serving in the United States Army
I would see Jeff occasionally on the show “Cowboy Logic” with Don Neuen and Donna Fiducia on Real America’s Voice network or Rumble. He is funny, knowledgeable, and passionate about J6 and the fact that it was a complete and total “Fedsurrection” infiltrated and planned by our very own government. Here is a short description of Jeff by Tim Rivers of “The American Gulag Chronicles” trilogy and “The January 6th Historical Panel of Inquiry”.
Jeff McKellop is a highly decorated former Green Beret and Army Special Forces operator who served the United States with honor for 22 years, including multiple combat deployments. After retiring from the military, he continued his service to the country as a security contractor for the U.S. State Department and intelligence agencies, protecting American interests overseas.
Never before has Mr. Mckellop attended a Rally, Protest, or political gathering.  Mr. Mckellop has held a Top-Secret Clearance for over three decades and served his country with pride.
On January 6, 2021, Jeff traveled to Washington, D.C., motivated by a friend of 20+ years, to ask a protective posture.   He was under the impression that his friend needed him in order to fend off, “Counter Protesters, BLM, ANTIFA, and Crisis actors that’ve been known to infest, “Pro American Rallies.”   I lost it all on J6
A profound sense of duty to defend the Constitution of the United States! He swore an oath to uphold.
In the years that followed, Jeff became one of the most egregious examples of systemic abuse within the justice system. Held in pretrial detention for nearly four years without a trial, Jeff endured degrading treatment, long stretches of solitary confinement, denied medical care for combat-related injuries, and significant violations of his constitutional rights. Mr. Mckellop was subjected to the continuing insults and Racial discrimination by guards; Lancaster, Landerkin, Bruce, Marr, Tally, Pittman, Allen, Saunders, Munoz, Shoemake, Franklin, Dillion, Deal, Abdula, Smith, Williams, Armstrong, Alexander.
Mr. Mckellop endured Six Months of solitary confinement by staff.
Accused of having COVID w/o taking a test.  Mr. Mckellop was put into 14 days 24/7lock down, Three times!!  His attorney’s never showed.
When United States Marshalls showed up to his cell in Solitary?  They did nothing to fend off the abuse.   He’s been labeled; Honky, Cracker, White Boy, White Mother fucker, Trumper.  On an on.   Where was the help an assistants of his counsel?  Promised by those representing him in the court of law.  No place to be found.
No one came…
To One and all!!!!!
Update:    I’m still working on the lawsuit against the government.  Much like all wrongfully imprisoned Americans!!   
On the job hunt: When I was looking into AMWAY back in the 90’s, and ADVOCARE in the early 2000’s.  I learned one thing.  
                                                           “Network, or Don’t Work.”
I applied my awesome skill set to the local markets where I’m currently located.  I put in a ton of applications for various employment in and around the area. 
I was shocked and awed when I received a phone call from a local Farm (The farm has a ton of things going on; Local Market, Acre’s of Vegetable Gardens, Tree sales, Plants, Christmas Trees in the winter, on and on.)  $18.00 an hour. I was to come in, and report for an interview ASAP.
I put my best work clothes on (in case I was to start that day), then fueled up my truck.  Showed up about twenty minutes early.  Practiced what I would say.  I thought about a million different topics that I may be asked, and how to answer. This will be my first interview in about three decades.  I was a bit nervous (unlike the interview by the FBI when I turned myself in.)
When the time came.   I was taken into a meeting room where I met three different individuals.
“Tell us a bit about yourself.  Where are you from?  How long were you in the military?  What have you been doing since you retired?  What are you doing here in this state? Wow, when can you start?  You seem like a nice guy.”
I was given paperwork to fill out.  I gave them a copy of my DL.  Spoke with the owner.   I was excited.   The interview went well.  I felt positive about this. They walked me around the entire operation.  Introducing me to numerous employees.  I went home and took my girlfriend out for lunch. We were jumping around in the parking lot, looking stupid. Yes!  I got a job!  It’s going to get better from here!!!!!   Just like the military, I’ll climb the Ladder of Success, on the backs of my peers! Get a shirt with my name on it!  Buy some rubber boots for the muck! Get another pair of work pants.  Get a Superman Lunch Box!!!  Yes!
We didn’t finish lunch when I received a phone call from the owner. 
“Jeff, hey.  I’ll be frank with you for a moment.   We looked your name up, and we’d like to speak with you. Can you come back and answer a few questions?”   
Sure.  I’ll be there in an hour.  I knew exactly what he was talking about. I didn’t finish my lunch.
This time: There were five people in the same conference room.  All waiting on me. 
Hiring Manager: “Jeff, thanks for coming back.   We did a background check on you.  You were at January 6th?  We watched a ton of videos about you.  I gave this information to the others.   This is why you are here.”
I replied: Would you like to hear some of it?  Maybe my side of the story?  Because there’s more than what you know.  Like how I got there, and what’s happened to me since I turned myself into the FBI?
“Well Jeff.  I’m sure it’s a good story.  But we run a good organization and have young people working here that are impressionable.  They wouldn’t do well if they knew who was working alongside them.   We would like to thank you for coming by and speaking with us.  But we can’t take you at this time.  Thank you, Jeff.   Have a good day.”
Everyone left at one time.   I sat in the parking lot thinking.   What just happened?   
Wanna know what true embarrassment Is? 
Jeff is top left with his unit.
Supporting/Serving my country with my life after 30-years, can’t find a job because of corrupt teams 54,64,74 of the MPD. Corrupt Politicians.  I was told false promises by the very same people I voted for.  Watched the “Thin Blue Line” destroy women and men who were unarmed.  Knowing the names and actions of corrupt law enforcement and telling my attorneys about it.  With no response.  Sent to Ft. Worth TX because my attorneys didn’t want to represent me.
This’s been happening since the moment I was released.   
I told all of you!  The Government arranged this to happen to the American People because of their hatred of our President.   We found it on video.  Tried to tell our attorneys. 
No one is listening! 
Guerrilla Warfare. 
They want everyone around you to know!  This is what happens when you speak out against the Democratic Government.  
I’ll never get employment in a quality job.   I’ll never vote again.  I will never trust Attorneys, nor Government officials, again!    
I also relayed this information to my Legal Team.    No Response from them.   Shocking…………
That is my dream.  This is my nightmare.   Everyday.
What do I tell my kids?   
Dad can’t afford to pay for your school clothes, and food.  Good luck working your way through college.  No money for your wedding day. No money for you to fall back on.  Dad is still trying to keep himself off the street corner with a cardboard sign.
At what point does the American public open their eyes?  Where are you,America?  Where are you when I need you the most?
What will you do when they come for you?

Jeff continues to look for work and shout the facts of J6 from the rooftops.
***Just before this story was submitted, I received another update from Jeff, and I decided to add it, so you all know the pain and suffering that Jeff and many others are still going through***
People need to understand what is out there. What type of individuals we are dealing with.  We are on the edge of losing America for good.  People are selling out America by the moment because of who they believe will bring them happiness/ Tranquility/ Longevity.
The art of feeling good, and helping your, “Fellow Man/Woman”, are almost over.
You have no idea who is who.
This ideology goes way back.  When, Brother against Brother, Cousin against Cousin tore Nations apart.
Because of a political belief!
I’ve been trying to get into my local church.   I think I found a home in this community.
I ran into some people at the church that do security work.   I offered up my position of support and consulting.
I was granted an interview.  I met with the department head.  He instructed me to meet with the team lead.
When I linked up with him this morning.   He had no idea who I was, until he heard my name.  He stood back. Looked at me.  “Your name is Jeff Mckellop?  Thee, Jeff Mckellop?  J6 Jeff Mckellop?  I have a few moments, let me check on something really quick.  I’ll be right back.”
He never came back, and no one spoke to me again.  I walked out of the church, and went home.  Needless to say?  I wont be going back.
This is what people need to understand.  America has no idea what happen on that day.  They are not asking the right questions.  They will not stand for them selves, yet take the opinion of a public official.
This is my every day.
I’ll apply at Dairy Queen next week.

Liberal Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor apologized for her nasty attack on fellow justice Brett Kavanaugh.
Last week Sotomayor took a shot at Kavanaugh during remarks at the University of Kansas.
The left-wing Obama appointee suggested Kavanaugh had a privileged upbringing when she referenced his opinion on an immigration case.
“I had a colleague in that case who wrote, you know, these are only temporary stops,” Sotomayor said, according to a Bloomberg report.
“This is from a man whose parents were professionals. And probably doesn’t really know any person who works by the hour,” Sotomayor said.
Sotomayor issued a rare apology on Wednesday and said her public attack on Kavanaugh was “inappropriate.”
CNN reported:
Justice Sonia Sotomayor issued a highly unusual public apology to a colleague Wednesday, saying her criticism of Justice Brett Kavanaugh was unfair.
“At a recent appearance at the University of Kansas School of Law, I referred to a disagreement with one of my colleagues in a prior case, but I made remarks that were inappropriate,” Sotomayor said in the statement. “I regret my hurtful comments.
“I have apologized to my colleague.”
Sotomayor’s statement followed comments she made last week at the University of Kansas School of Law in which she criticized Kavanaugh for his concurring opinion in a high-profile emergency immigration case dealing with ICE patrols — an exceedingly rare and personal comment directed at one justice by another.
Last September, the Supreme Court sided with President Trump and allowed his administration to continue sweeping immigration raids.
The Supreme Court weighed in after a far-left Biden judge sided with the anti-American ACLU’s plaintiffs and temporarily blocked President Trump’s Department of Homeland Security agents from raiding Home Depots, car washes and other places in the Los Angeles area (7 counties in the Central District of California) unless they have reasonable suspicion that there is a violation of immigration laws.
Sotomayor fumed in her dissenting opinion.
“We should not have to live in a country where the Government can seize anyone who looks Latino, speaks Spanish, and appears to work a low wage job,” Sotomayor wrote.
“Rather than stand idly by while our constitutional freedoms are lost, I dissent,” Sotomayor wrote.

John H. Windom
In March, John H. Windom, 64, was federally indicted by the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Columbia on three counts: Concealment of Material Facts, False Statements, and Falsification of a Record or Document.
Windom, 64, a retired U.S. Navy Captain and former senior executive at the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), served as Executive Director of the Office of Electronic Health Record Modernization (OEHRM) from 2017 to 2022.
In 2022, during the Biden administration, he was reassigned as deputy director of the Federal Electronic Health Modernization Office, a joint DoD-VA initiative.
According to the three-count Indictment, between 2017 and 2021, while Windom was leading the $16 billion acquisition and deployment of the VA’s Electronic Health Records solution, then one of the largest information technology contracts in the federal government, he concealed from the VA, executive branch ethics officials, and the public that he was also accepting, and sometimes demanding, extravagant gifts from a group of contractors and subcontractors who worked on the project he was overseeing.

U.S. Attorney Jeanine Ferris Pirro, Assistant Director in Charge Darren B. Cox of the FBI’s Washington Field Office, and Veterans Affairs Inspector General Cheryl L. Mason announced the charges.
“As alleged, the defendant exploited his senior position for personal gain and concealed gifts and financial relationships that created serious conflicts of interest in the health care of our nation’s veterans,” said U.S. Attorney Pirro.
“Such conduct is not only a betrayal of the public trust—it undermines confidence in the institutions dedicated to serving those who have sacrificed for this country. Our office will continue to aggressively investigate and prosecute public corruption wherever it occurs, and we remain steadfast in our commitment to protecting the integrity of the programs that support America’s veterans.”
“This indictment sends a clear message that the VA OIG is committed to holding individuals accountable, including VA employees who are alleged to have misused their position of public trust for personal gain,” said Inspector General Mason.
The indictment reveals that between 2017 and 2021 (while overseeing the massive EHR project), he allegedly accepted and sometimes demanded thousands of dollars in gifts from contractors and subcontractors involved in the project.
Gifts reportedly included:

Cash (at least $2,000)
Casino chips (about $1,800)
An $8,200 Louis Vuitton gift card
Other gift cards and extravagant items (totaling over $15,000–$16,000)

He allegedly concealed these from the VA, ethics officials, and the public, despite knowing he was required to report them.
When questioned by federal agents in 2021, he reportedly denied accepting any such gifts.
If convicted on all counts, he faces up to 20+ years in prison plus financial penalties.

Robert DeNiro on MSNBC
The donor list for Eric Swalwell’s now dead campaign for governor of California is a virtual who’s who of liberal Hollywood.
Robert De Niro, Sean Penn, Jon Cryer, Kathy Griffin and many others poured tons of cash into Swalwell’s coffers and yet now that his campaign and career have imploded under a shocking scandal, they are all silent.
Let the record show that these people apparently do not care about victims of rape and sexual assault. What other conclusion could one possibly reach?
Breitbart News reports:
Hollywood Elites Who Backed Disgraced Eric Swalwell Go Silent After His Resignation from Congress
With the now thoroughly disgraced former Congressman and California candidate Gov. Eric Swalwell resigning his seat in Congress and suspending his gubernatorial campaign, the left-wing Hollywood celebrities who were so loudly backing him have all of a sudden gone quiet.
A-listers like Sean Penn, Robert De Niro, and Jane Fonda have all gone radio silent in the wake of Swalwell’s crash and burn ending and many of his elite donors have decided not to say a word about their man’s fall from grace, the New York Post noted.
The paper points out that Sean Penn donated $15,000 to Swalwell and on several occasions met up with the California Democrat to show his support. Several others, such as Mad Men star Jon Hamm, rabid anti-Trumper Robert Di Nero, and Jon Cryer each donated $10,000 and often spoke up for Swalwell on social media and in interviews…
Disgraced comedienne Kathy Griffin also gave ten grand, as did TV producers David Bennet and Shawn Ryan, who both ponied up $10K. Before his shocking murder, film director Rob Reiner also gave the same amount to Swalwell. And Creative Artists Agency CEO Bryan Lourd topped them all by shelling out a $12,500 contribution.
The anti-Trump group ‘The Lincoln Project’ also contributed.
