Report: Laura Loomer was paid thousands for political tweets
When I read that Laura Loomer was paid to post, I assumed it was by Democrats. Because she does such a remarkable job of making Trump allies look like unhinged, incompetent lunatics.
forestdweller69.bsky.social33The way that Matt Gaetz spews constant hate over on fb, I asked him months ago if Trump paid him per post, or if it was a salaried position.
BCISLEMAN24If only it were just that. She prompted Trump to block sick or injured children from being brought to the US from Gaza for treatment. I wonder if any of those children died as a result.
Cindy Arnevik15Have to admit the ones in Ukraine were pretty good
MayhemMel!14Loomer is an idiot, but there's a time she was useful. Asking the right questions when she believed Dems were responsible for Butler, PA shortly before Trump shutdown the investigation.
SugarBearChi13America voted for no more monkey business. Trump saw that and thinks the solution is extra monkey business.
Tim Murphy12Reminds me of Tim Pool getting paid by the Russians.
In 2025, the president fired NSC officials after Laura Loomer brought him a list. I was one of them. The Post reports she’s paid by undisclosed private clients. An influencer with hidden paymasters shaping national security staffing is a counterintelligence nightmare. Congress—investigate…now.
Julia Curlee186Political purges by paid influencers is one of the reasons we stumbled into the Iran war debacle, as @atabatabai.bsky.social and I wrote in FP: foreignpolicy.com/2026/09/09/t...
Julia Curlee81I wrote my Atlantic article to articulate the cognitive dissonance. Why would a White House—which didn’t care about having a trans staffer—buckle to an internet influencer.
Cassandra of America14This is what I found about Laura Loomer: She may be paid by an Israeli lobby and an anti-Muslim organization. She used to work for Tom Trento, whom leads an Islamophobic organization, the United West. He is also a VIP at Mar a Lago and traveled to Jerusalem and worked with Tom Homan
Jon Frank - GOP Must Cheat/Steal - They Know The Party’s Over10Sue her, Ms Curlee America is the poorer for being deprived of your service Let’s at least find out who commissioned her to take you out #CivilDiscovery
Ian Ramjohn6Aside from the corrupt nature of it all, the sums mentioned in the article are surprisingly small. That you could exercise this level of influence for just a few tens of thousands?!
jtadetroit.bsky.social6Follow the Money is more than a cliche , in this administration
paulpro246This is important. The new congress must act.
Brian Finucane236Would be fun for Congress to dig into the phenomenon of national security personnel getting “Loomered.”
Amanda Katz61Excellent point—this is not just a grift but one with major potential governance implications given how influential Loomer was for at least a while
leemarvinoswald.bsky.social2This is a huge story...but her emails, right?
Swiffy2Excellent point that we need to know more about how Loomer was able to exercise influence deep into the non-public bureaucracy of our government. Trump acted quickly on her requests. We've now learned she was paid by undisclosed private clients for her activities
my wife doesn’t know who laura loomer is. in many ways, she is free
Micah42it’s so funny to me that this is basically the most powerful starter pack bluesky has ever had (my posts are still not strong enough, sadly)
dillo saint dillo16one of these days I will make your wife laugh 🫵
Gore Vidal Sassoon15I’m not in the pack because I show your wife all my tweets myself!!
the postes7so i gotta poste better,, is what youre saying
Joshua J. Friedman5Though in many other ways, she is locked in your basement
worm5so what, you didn't show her a picture of her own kid?
Shock follows shock. Right Wing loon Laura Loomer was paid by private clients to make political posts on social media without publicly disclosing the payments, according to a former Trump campaign aide and others familiar with the arrangements.
A Virginian7Is anybody leading the MAGA "movement" not cashing in for themselves?
GOPisComplicit ❤️🔥6Like I said. None of them do this for free. Treason pays well.
Democracy Vibe · by NoMAGA4The democratic problem isn’t just the money—it’s that undisclosed sponsorship can make coordinated influence look like spontaneous grassroots opinion.
Dann4"Bats in the belfry," that one.
Ath3na_G 🇺🇦 📎3Not really a big surprise. All these people are just cut outs
The burning 🔥 question: who spent their money 💰 most foolishly: Elon Musk… or… the unnamed folks who paid Laura Loomer ??? Inquiring minds want to know
I had to explain who Laura Loomer was to a room full of serious people including retired GOFOs and I will never forgive anyone for that, least of all myself. A price must be paid, accountability must be had.
Peanut the squirrel honor guard 🏳️⚧️🇵🇸🇺🇦5the whole moment kind of feels like weve all fallen so far into specialization no one knows what’s going on even in domains really close to them, so that if we just keep overturning rocks to expose freaks well get a critical mass of ppl Freaking The Fuck Out
SpudRazor1If you ever feel like posting the speaker notes (I assume there was a PowerPoint), I’d love to read them.
Did someone just wake up from a coma? How is this surprising??? 🤡 Right-wing activist Laura Loomer allegedly got paid thousands to post on X www.yahoo.com/news/politic...
bcmom24.bsky.social2Should I put on my shocked face 😮?
Walter Muller2In cases of grifters always Follow the trail of money and it is always lot worse than we all can imagine
Jerry 'Just call me Snake' Snodgrass2The fact that Trump paid her to lie makes her an accomplice. I hope she's scared. Very scared.
