Trump issued a full, unconditional pardon to former Tennessee House Speaker Glen Casada and his former chief of staff, Cade Cothren. They were convicted of fraud, bribery, theft, conspiracy, and sentenced to federal prison. https://t.co/xLad3PTCBx
An extremely dangerous maggot that eats human flesh called Screwworm has just been found for the first time since it was eradicated in 1966.
This comes after Trump cut funding for Screwworm monitoring programs.
Follow the money on this one. It is rotten to the core.
The Pentagon just lent $620,000,000 to a tiny North Carolina startup called Vulcan Elements. The company is two years old.
It had fewer than 50 employees.
And three months before the deal was announced, Donald Trump Jr.’s venture firm quietly took a stake in it.
Here is the part the administration tried to bury.
Of the dozens of companies the Pentagon was weighing, Vulcan was the only deal initiated by a top White House aide. That aide was Peter Navarro, a close friend of Trump Jr. The order came down to move fast.
One official put it plainly: The call came from the White House. We have to get this done.
Staff worked late nights to push it through in weeks. Deals like this normally take many months of vetting. And when it closed, Vulcan’s valuation jumped from about 200 million dollars to roughly 2 billion.
A windfall for the investors, including the president’s son.
This is public money. Your money.
Routed through the Pentagon to enrich the president’s family and their friends. The Bush administration’s own chief ethics lawyer called it corruption we pay for.
And there is more coming.
A drone parts company Trump Jr. holds a stake in is also under Pentagon review.
This is not a one-off. It is a pattern. The president’s family is treating the federal Treasury like a private bank, and the bill lands on every taxpayer.

Republicans in North Carolina just proposed a bill that says if a woman is caught with an IUD or attempts to get an abortion then men are allowed to use DEADLY FORCE to try and stop her. They are proposing a bill that will allow men to kill women for using birth control. It’s House Bill 1232. Keith Kidwell is the Republican who proposed the bill. He claims it counts as self defense to use deadly force to stop abortion. This is a man who claims to be pro life. Feel free to give his office a call and let him know how you feel about his opinion.
And for anyone who says “obviously this will never get passed” that’s not the point. The point is it’s fucking insanity that a government official would even try to make a law like this. It’s insanity that there are men out there who are trying to make it legal to kill women for making decisions for their own bodies. This is real and it’s happening right now in front of our eyes.
There is no world in which this is okay.
Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito did not recuse himself from cases involving Trump’s Treasury Department while his own son was secretly working there as a political appointee and attorney.
His son's employment was hidden so thoroughly that his name appears nowhere on the Treasury Department website, he has no public resume, and his bar listings are outdated.
If Alito had recused himself, the secret would have come out. He didn’t recuse himself.
This is a clear conflict of interest, and the American people deserved to know about it.
The federal recusal standard is clear: a justice must step aside in any case where there is a reasonable basis to question whether he or she can be impartial. A justice ruling on cases involving the department where his son works fails that test. The Treasury Department sits at the center of some of the biggest legal fights of this administration, and challenges to Trump’s $1.776 billion January 6 slush fund could be headed to the Court next.
The Supreme Court is the only court in America with no binding code of conduct. That is completely unacceptable, and it has to change NOW.
Congress controls the Power of the Purse, and therefore the Court’s funding. If the Court will not adopt a binding code of conduct with real recusal review on their own, I support withholding their funding until they do.

Ken Paxton is throwing everything he has at us.
He’s called me a radical leftist. He’s called me a fake Christian. He’s even called me a vegan!
I’m an 8th generation Texan — I've been eating BBQ since before Ken Paxton’s first indictment.
I went to Virginia Tech because it was a land-grant university that offered a strong, affordable technical education.
After growing up working on farms and construction sites, it felt like it was made for people like me.
So did the lunch pail.
@coachfostervt coached the Virginia Tech defense for 33 years. His players competed for the right to carry a beat-up coal miner's lunch pail each week.
It symbolizes blue-collar work ethic built into an object and became one of the most recognized traditions in college football.
In 2009, still coaching, he built the Lunch Pail Defense Foundation around the same idea, putting money behind kids in Southwest Virginia from families where college isn't the assumed path.
Since then the foundation has distributed more than a million dollars. Bud hasn't taken a cent, and the board are all volunteers.
Every dollar goes out the door into direct support for Southwest Virginia families.
Scholarships for Virginia Tech students, community college tuition for high school grads, healthcare for uninsured families, and direct support for families dealing with childhood cancer.
If you care about Southwest Virginia, please help me get the word out about the Lunchpail Defense Foundation.
Watch the video I recorded with Coach Foster below. Share it if it lands.

This is what the lunch pail means off the field.
🚨Big scandal brewing in Indiana after the State admitted it doled out a shocking $655 million 💰💰💰 in data center sales tax exemption subsidies in 2025.
It previously had claimed it had given less than $1 million in subsidies in 2025.
Happy Birthday, Antonio Freeman!!

When Howard Lutnick found out he had to testify in front of the Oversight Committee, he gave $5 MILLION to a House Republican PAC.
Shortly after donating, James Comer announced his testimony would never be seen by the public. This is blatant corruption. He should be fired.
