The FiveStack: Trump Breaks The Law To Steal $5 Billion; Appoints January 6th Election Liar to Oversee 2026 Midterms

from FiveStack with Dean Blundell & Zev Shalev · host Zev Shalev, Dean Blundell, and Lev Parnas

5️⃣ Trump is illegally attempting to steal $4.9 billion in foreign aid through a "pocket rescission" maneuver, targeting UN peacekeeping, democracy programs, and nutrition assistance for women and children. Even Republican Senator Susan Collins calls it "a clear violation of the law" as Trump deliberately timed it so Congress can't stop him before the fiscal year ends September 30th.4️⃣ A hacker at a Miami Starbucks found Tesla crash data in minutes that the company claimed didn't exist for years, proving Tesla received and deleted evidence from a fatal 2019 autopilot accident. The recovered data helped secure a historic $243 million verdict against the company—the first major liability finding for autopilot failures.3️⃣ Trump envoy Steve Witkoff completely fabricated Putin's territorial demands after meeting him in Moscow without State Department note-takers, forcing him to reverse his position within 24 hours and leaving European allies "startled" by the incompetence. The diplomatic disaster contributed to the failure of Trump's Alaska summit with Putin.2️⃣ Russia launched 630 drones and missiles at Kyiv, killing 23 including four children, while Ukrainian officials were literally meeting with Trump's team about peace in New York. Trump's response: he was "not happy" but "also not surprised," suggesting both sides aren't ready to end the war—even though only Putin can stop his invasion.1️⃣ Pennsylvania election conspiracy theorist Heather Honey, whose fabricated claim of 205,000 phantom votes was cited by Trump minutes before January 6th, has been appointed Deputy Assistant Secretary for Election Integrity at DHS. The woman who helped orchestrate Arizona's discredited audit and wasted "scores of hours" with frivolous records requests is now positioned to oversee the 2026 midterms.The FiveStack is available as an audio podcast on Apple Podcasts and Spotify.
