Feds subpoena Hasan Piker and Medea Benjamin over Cuba trips

journalismMay 26, 202619342

The U.S. Treasury Department issued subpoenas to political commentator Hasan Piker and CodePink cofounder Medea Benjamin seeking records of their travel to Cuba as part of a federal probe into whether they violated U.S. Cuba sanctions. The subpoenas request travel records and related documents to determine whether either engaged with sanctioned Cuban entities or otherwise breached embargo rules. Hasan Piker is a U.S. political commentator and streamer and Medea Benjamin is a longtime anti-war activist and CodePink cofounder, both now under scrutiny. The move matters because expanded enforcement could expose U.S. travelers and advocacy groups to civil or criminal penalties and affect how Americans travel and organize in relation to Cuba.

The "left" now calling Jasmine Crockett, "Blue MAGA", because of her post about Hasan Piker is crazy work. Last year, when she was fighting Trump in the House, she was good. But she is getting in the way of THEIR white supremacy and now she is "Blue MAGA"?

hmmm where have I seen this before? Oh I remember, it was when Kamala was grilling those SCOTUS nominees, then she got the VP spot and all of a sudden that praise vanished

I give you another example of how the white supremacist “left” suborns those who don’t know Black history. Oliver Willis called ME “Blue MAGA.” I am not into judging another person’s Blackness, but the Blackest thing about that boy is his admittedly adorable dog. I blocked that fool right then.

I may be invisible, but you're transparent.30

It really is just a campaign of misoginoir but leftishly.

They’re mad because she spoke at an event with Wesley Bell so they think she endorsed him over lazy ass Cori Bush who is running for her old seat against him. You wouldn’t believe the racist shit yt leftists are saying on the old Twitter site like “What happened to standing up for Black women?”

They hate Black Women SO much.

They exist solely to divide and suppress the lib/ Dems online. They did the same thing in 2023/24 but had the campus protests to hide behind. They are still using different versions of the “both sides g-cide” script, that only ever mentions one side. Popular democratic candidates.

It’s a small number of super online broken brained loudmouths. I’m not convinced that many of them aren’t bots. Anyone defending Piker is a loser

How are we talking about Piker again?
