Spam Risk Egypt = Threat Level Midnight
"Spam risk Egypt."
Seems Trump used a burner phone with a coded number to make his calls leaning on state officials to change election results.
fmr Michigan state Senate Majority Leader Mike Shirkey says he was given a heads up by the state house speaker that Trump might call him and that it would show up on his phone as "Spam risk Egypt."

Russian Oligarch funneled Cash to "George Santos"
A quick note about this piece. This was from 3 weeks ago. Before the New York Times questioned his whole backstory. So in some ways it's even more interesting in that context. It only deals with where his money was coming from and how it was reflected in his unequivocal support of Russia..
From Russia With Love
Andrew Intrater, money manager to Russian Viktor Vekselberg, gave $56,100 to committees tied to Rep.-elect George Devolder-Santos, who called Ukraine totalitarian.
The cousin and cash handler for one of Russias most notorious oligarchs poured tens of thousands of dollars into electing a newly minted congressman-elect who called Ukraines government a totalitarian regime.

For much of his professional career, which included a stint as regional director at an alleged Ponzi scheme, the Republican used the name George Devolder. However, as he ventured further into the world of politics, he began to increasingly use the name George Devolder-Santos or simply George Santos...

Emily Nussbaum
Norman Lear was certainly one of the most influential producers in television history. I think that's safe to say.
