Our mission is to build political power for the progressive movement by developing affordable and easy-to-use tools for teams and budgets of any size.
Pete Buttigieg and Joe Biden have been accused of using Shadow to try and steal the Iowa caucuses from Bernie Sanders. I don’t know if that’s true but they have a legitimate beef. Get ready to go down the rabbit hole.
In 2019, a liberal group called ACRONYM acquired Shadow Inc. ACRONYM is a Democrat dark money machine that was founded by Tara McGowan. She has a long resume as a Democrat operative. Her husband advises Pete Buttigieg’s campaign and she is a big fan of Pete.
Buttigieg has been given the moniker of Mayor Cheat by Bernie supporters for claiming victory in Iowa in spite of the results not being released yet. Also, his internal results have him losing to Bernie.
Pete’s campaign gave Shadow Inc. money. Not unusual but given how things are playing out in Iowa, this is giving Bernie supporters fits. It certainly doesn’t look good.
Shadow Inc. describes its mission on its website as: “Our mission is to build political power for the progressive movement by developing affordable and easy-to-use tools for teams and budgets of any size.”
A check of the Federal Election Commission website shows Buttigieg isn‘t the only candidate to use their services.
So an app by former Hillary campaign alums got money from Biden and Buttigieg, and Bernie’s Iowa win is being caught up in a disaster of results reporting. I wonder why Bernie supporters might be a bit conspiratorial here?
Each time President Donald Trump has gone to visit troops overseas for a holiday, the media has either criticized it or said it wasn’t going to happen altogether.
We’ve compiled the most biggest flubs from the media when it comes to his relationship with the troops.
“Golfing, tweeting, and more” on Thanksgiving: Newsweek — 2019
While Trump’s official schedule featured a call with the troops and placed him at Mar-a-Lago for the day, he ultimately made an unannounced trip to Afghanistan to visit the troops in person.
Newsweek later changed the headline, but Twitter users — including the president — ruthlessly criticized the outlet.

“Trump has blurred the line between the office of the presidency and the campaign to such a degree that it is making it much more difficult for troops to make that distinction on their own,” CNN military analyst John Kirby argued at the time. “It’s bad enough that Trump doesn’t see a problem with signing campaign paraphernalia at a military base, maybe even more so that some of our troops are OK with it.”
Days later, the White House denied distributing the hats, saying the soldiers had acquired them on their own and brought them to the event. Then-Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders said the hats shows support for Trump personally, but were not an explicit political endorsement on the part of the military.
Trump’s intervention in the American military justice system to pardonservice members accused or convicted of war crimes betrays the rule of law, the values that make our country exceptional & the men and women who wear the uniform honorably. He is not fit to command our troops.
