BREAKING: The son of a 9/11 victim slams Donald Trump after he whitewashed the attacks during his disgusting playdate with the Saudi Crown Prince.
This is the least patriotic president in American history…
“We need resolution to this 25-year national nightmare that these families have been facing. And yesterday was a disgusting display of America’s ability to just whitewash the sins of their past because the Saudis came in with a bunch of money,” Brett Eagleson said on CNN.
Eagleson’s father died on 9/11 and he’s been relentlessly pursuing justice ever since as the President of 9/11 Justice. Saudi Arabia still has not been held accountable for its role in the terror attacks — and Trump’s behavior this week makes it clear that he has zero interest in doing so. His family is making far too much money from his Saudi connections.
“So I am not going to say that we shouldn’t have a strong relationship with Saudi Arabia. I think that’s important, it’s important for peace. But what needs to happen is a reckoning and an accounting of what that country did, and elements within that government did 25 years ago,” Eagleson added.
During his chummy Oval Office meeting with Crown Prince Mohammad bin Salman, Trump lashed out a reporter for daring to ask why the American people should trust MBS’s denial that his country played no role in 9/11, calling her a “terrible person” and a “terrible reporter.”
“MBS didn’t have to say anything. He interrupted Trump, and he had a precanned answer that he wanted to get out there,” said Eagleson. “There’s no way he thought up and concocted that answer on the spot.”
“This idea that Osama bin Laden picked 15 of the 19 hijackers to be Saudi Arabia. Sure, while that may be true, it doesn’t, you can’t disregard the fact that right now a federal judge in the Southern District of Manhattan has said and reviewed credible evidence that we have presented enough evidence that his country must stand trial for the murder of my father, and nearly 3,000 Americans,” Eagleson added.
The 9/11 Families United organization also weighed in on the utterly shameful meeting—
“The crown prince knows nothing of the pain of the 9/11 families,” the told The Hill. “He is actively working to impede our efforts to ensure extensive evidence of Saudi government support for al-Qaeda and the terrorist hijackers are brought to light, harboring a former agent that produced a casing video of the U.S. Capitol building, and trying to rewrite history with investments. We aren’t buying it, our allies in Congress aren’t buying it, and neither are the American people.”
We know for a fact that the Saudis poured $2 billion into Jared Kusher’s firm. Imagine all of the shadowy back channels that they’re using to line the pockets of the rest of Trump’s family. The American people deserve a full forensic accounting investigation when Democrats retake power.
Please retweet and ❤️ to demand an investigation into Trump’s Saudi connections!
@DavidAFrench@NickKristof When will a Republican Congress or Supreme Court put a stop to the fully open, blatantly corrupt, and illegal self dealing of a convicted criminal in office? A real test for a democracy you might say. Institutions that stand up for no principle. Period. Full stop. Pants down.
It's hard to think of an action more purely corrupt than a a president ordering the executive branch to pay him hundreds of millions of dollars. I cannot wait to read the MAGA defenses of this (and there will be many). They'll display Soviet levels of sycophancy.
And I literally saw people on this app saying today that people don’t need food stamps because they can just go to a food bank. The food banks are empty, open your eyes!

2 injured, including a US marshal, after an ICE agent’s weapon discharged during LA immigration enforcement operation.
Investigators believe gunfire erupted after an ICE officer confronted the suspect’s vehicle and smashed a window with their service weapon, the law enforcement source said.
This is what happens when you have an idiot in charge of DHS.

No one is above the law — not ICE, not CBP, and not Donald Trump.
Federal agents who assault or detain New Yorkers without legal authority must be held accountable and the NYPD must protect our neighbors if the federal government refuses to.
Epstein survivor Lisa Phillips: “What is really going on? Everyone makes it about Trump and Epstein, but it’s about this whole ring of men. The only person in jail is Ghislaine, a woman. Where are all the other men that were benefiting and profiting from all of this?”
Today I’m resurrecting the old phrase that described the Republican party perfectly in the past, “Culture of Corruption.” From trump’s $500 million Qatari plane bribe, to Tom Homan $50,000 cash bribe, to Republican Party scandals, the party is rotten to its core. Culture of corruption will send them to the wilderness for decades if democrats show up to vote, and if we have a chance to vote.
Trump is demolishing part of the East Wing to build a $250 million privately funded ballroom — skirting legal oversight, hiding donor names, and exploiting loopholes in preservation law. The National Capital Planning Commission hasn’t approved it, the project began during a government shutdown that sidelined regulators, and experts say it violates every norm of transparency and historic stewardship. This isn’t a “renovation.” It’s a power move that treats the people’s house like a Trump Tower franchise — a legally dubious act of vanity and vandalism rolled into one.
@RonFilipkowski Political propaganda in public spaces isn’t free speech, it’s manipulation. Americans shouldn’t be forced to watch campaign ads while waiting for their flight.
