1. There's a word used to describe profiting off donations from PACs

Can’t remember. I think it began with “g” and ended with “t”.

2. the non profits scam - raise money, spend it all on yourselves, except for a pittance to the cause nt

3. Perhaps rather than looking at a tweet you can easily go to the FEC and get actual data with detail

to review for yourself.

Since January you can find not just the.contributions given to the PAC but also the money given to specific candidates, the DCCC, etc. plus operating expenses which include lots of things that go to operating a PAC like this. You can also learn about the minutia like how much and how many times someone expensed a Lyft ride.

and salaries.

For example for 5 months Hogg’s salary was $52,50. So his yearly would be about $126,000 but could be higher. Last year I believe I added the year up to almost $180,000.

Jeez what a grifter!

But carry on with tweet reading on X as long as it fits your narrative and understandi g of how PACs function. I linked only to the FEC filing for those who wish to review it in details not provided in the tweet.

4. That particular Twitter account spends most of its time parsing data for all kinds of political fundraising, etc.

It’s a useful one-stop-shop, so I don’t have to look up each individual committee. YMOV.

You also might note, that I didn’t say anything about grifting.

5. Except it's ridiculous. I had my own event producing company. If I had a really big invoice

paid in one month before I did payroll or expenses the following month, it would make no sense to someone looking at my company. I could have an $800,000 influx in the plus column. But it would not accurately reflect what I actually had as profit.

The figures your regular Twitter account has given you don’t match anything remotely filed with the FCC but if it pleases you to accept an easy tweet as fact - go for it. It’s wrong. But that doesn’t seem to matter. I thought it might be something you actually cared enough to look into but if you don’t - no worry. It was just for context. Perhaps someone else might care.
