Putin
Last night Donald Trump released a declassified document that says his own intelligence community identified Putin as personally running an operation to defeat my father in 2020, built around a fake Burisma corruption scandal centered around me and executed through prominent Americans.
Trump tasked his personal lawyer, Rudy Giuliani, to fly to Kyiv and meet a known Russian agent.
The Americans who ran, laundered, and legitimized the operation:
Donald Trump. Rudy Giuliani. John Solomon. Joe DiGenova. Victoria Toensing. Lev Parnas. Igor Fruman. Chanel Rion. Sean Hannity. Steve Bannon. Miranda Devine. Ken Vogel. Ron Johnson. Chuck Grassley. James Comer. Jim Jordan.
To name a few.
An operation formally sanctioned by Trump's own Treasury Department on September 10, 2020, and expanded to include more named actors on January 11, 2021.
Oh, and don't forget the Russian-linked FBI informant Alexander Smirnov, who later pleaded guilty to making the entire Burisma bribery story up.
The record exists and we have all the receipts, and more.
Help!!! I bought a Groupon for DreamCon (for my son) and apparently didn’t register correctly on TIXR. I went to log in to make sure the ticket was there and there is nothing. I tried to re register and the Saturday pass is sold out! No reply from TIXR. Options? @dreamconvention

.@JamesTalarico: There's been a lot of talk in this race about what it means to be a real man.
Recently on the campaign trail I told the story of my adoptive dad, Mark Talarico. Every Saturday morning, he would mow our lawn, and then without anyone asking him to, he would go next door and mow our neighbor's lawn because she was a widow. My dad never talked about it — he just did it, because that's what a man does.
A man takes responsibility, upholds his commitments to his family and his neighbors, and does what's right, even when no one is watching.
Here's what real men don't do. They don't lie and cheat their way through life, sell their soul to the highest bidder, or steal from other people in order to enrich themselves. Real men serve others. Weak men serve themselves.
I welcome this debate about what it means to be a man, and I don't think Ken Paxton or Ted Cruz are in a position to tell anybody what a real man is.
HOLY SH*T, this parting statement by Scott Pelley is WILD:
"New management has instructed me to INJECT FALSEHOODS AND BIAS into a politically sensitive story. I've been told to include assertions that are unverified."
I bet he knows a LOT more, too. 🔥
Trump’s DOJ just filed what may be the most deranged written Motion ever. It reads more like a Truth Social post dictated by Trump himself. What an embarrassment.
The Motion is filled with inappropriate personal insults. It literally calls the National Trust for Historic Preservation name “FAKE” and says the group is “very bad for our Country.” It accuses them of suffering from “Trump Derangement Syndrome” and frames their lawyer as “the lawyer for Barack Hussein Obama.”
This is an actual line from the filing: “because it is DONALD J. TRUMP, a highly successful real estate developer, who has abilities that others don't, especially those who assume the Office of President, this frivolous and meritless lawsuit was filed.”
This is how the Department of Justice is writing now?
Then comes the opportunism. The filing leans heavily on the White House Correspondents’ Dinner incident and uses it to push Trump’s long-standing obsession with building a ballroom. Instead of addressing what went wrong, it argues that none of this would have happened if Trump’s project already existed.
They claim “bipartisan support” because of support from…John Fetterman.
The lawsuit also claims at multiple points the ballroom won’t cost taxpayers anything—something we now know to be false.
Every DOJ lawyer who put their name on this should be ashamed. And it should be a major scandal that it appears that Donald Trump is the one who actually wrote this. So much for DOJ independence.
#BREAKING: Velshi: “…to understand what’s really happening in that courtroom, you have to understand what the 14th amendment actually did do to this country, not the textbook version, the REAL version, because before the 14th amendment, the Supreme Court ruled in the Dred Scott decision, that Black Americans could never be citizens. That the constitution was not written for them. That they were permanent outsiders…the 14th amendment REVERSED that. It said if you were born here, you are one of us. It stripped states of the power to decide who counts, and placed that decision in the constitution itself, beyond the reach of any governor, or any legislature, or any president with a pen and an executive order.”🤔
🚨 White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt today:
“Our nation was founded, almost 250 years ago, on Judeo-Christian values.”
The Treaty of Tripoli. 1797. Signed by Founding Father John Adams. Ratified unanimously by the Senate:
“The Government of the United States of America is not, in any sense, founded on the Christian religion.”
Thomas Jefferson — who wrote the Declaration of Independence — was a deist who literally cut the miracles out of his Bible.
James Madison — the father of the Constitution — explicitly warned against the “diabolical hell conceived principle of persecution” by state religion.
The First Amendment’s opening words:
“Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion.”
They put it first.
After much reflection, I have decided to resign from my position as Director of the National Counterterrorism Center, effective today.
I cannot in good conscience support the ongoing war in Iran. Iran posed no imminent threat to our nation, and it is clear that we started this war due to pressure from Israel and its powerful American lobby.
It has been an honor serving under @POTUS and @DNIGabbard and leading the professionals at NCTC.
May God bless America.
Hundreds of people are dead. Little girls are dead. Six Americans are dead. Others are risking their lives. Millions across the Middle East are terrified.
It's not a video game. It's not a meme. It's not another chance to troll the libs. It's fucking war.
Atmospheric scientist here. Let me tell you what was actually "slashed" today.
Slashed: The Endangerment Finding — a 200-page scientific review upheld by the Supreme Court, the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals, and reaffirmed by the National Academies of Sciences in 2025.
Slashed: The legal authority to regulate carbon from cars, power plants, and factories. All of it. Gone in one afternoon.
Now here's what you're "saving":
Yesterday Trump ordered the Pentagon — the largest energy consumer on Earth — to buy coal electricity.
Coal costs $69–$169/MWh.
Wind costs $27–$53/MWh.
Solar costs $38–$78/MWh.
99% of U.S. coal plants cost more to run than replacing them with brand-new solar or wind.
That's your tax dollars buying the most expensive electricity on the market. By executive order. While the Peabody Energy CEO stood in the room.
And the human cost of what you're "saving"?
460,000 American deaths linked to coal pollution in 20 years. Coal PM2.5 is 2.1x deadlier than other air pollution. (Henneman et al., Science, 2023)
All to protect an industry that employs 44,000 people total. Clean energy employs 3.5 million.
No one believes this cover up from the White House, especially since they originally defended the post. We are all clear-eyed about who Donald Trump is and what he believes.
Dear @SenJkennedy,
THIS IS A LIE
A LIE ON NATIONAL TV
TRUMP DID NOT GET THIS FROM 9% to 3%
The 9% figure refers to the peak annual inflation rate
By the time Trump was inaugurated for his second term on Jan 20, inflation had already fallen to 3%.
