Billionaire Kochs Fight Trump’s Economic Nationalist Agenda Ahead of 2020 Election
"The Koch network is seeking to secure an amnesty for more than a million illegal aliens enrolled and eligible for DACA by pushing the White House to negotiate a large immigration deal, insiders have told Breitbart News.
While the Libre Initiative is laser-focused on amnesty for illegal aliens, other Koch-funded organizations are invested in stripping Trump of his power to executively enact tariffs for the purpose of national security and to protect American industry and U.S. jobs for the country’s working and middle class.
The effort is being fronted by Rep. Mike Gallagher (R-WI) and Sens. Pat Toomey (R-PA) and Ben Sasse (R-NE), who are hoping to ensure endless free trade by preventing the executive branch from enacting certain tariffs without going through Congress first.
Much like the billionaire and donor class, elected Republicans and Democrats are largely aligned in their support for protecting free trade at all costs and opposing protective tariffs to keep American jobs and industry in the U.S."

Koch-funded Libre Initiative
I think a long time ago. Can't remember, really. Not sure it is much news that the Koch bros are evil.

Police Express Fears of Possible Smollett Suicide
"Smollett is not in custody at this time. Guglielmi told ABC News police are not actively looking for the actor because “this is not a violent crime,” but said “the longer this goes, the more we have to do what we have to do.”
Guglielmi told ABC News police do not know where Smollett is, and “his attorneys have not shared where he is at this point.”
“I know this can be difficult emotionally, and we hope he doesn’t do anything terrible. We want to make this as diplomatic as possible. In the end, this is only a class 4 felony. He will get through this and we want to make it as easy as possible for him to do it. But again, it is about accountability,” Guglielmi told ABC News.
Twentieth Century Fox Television and Fox Entertainment said they have no comment at this time."
