🚨🚨🚨BREAKING: Trump’s golden ballroom isn’t a gift. It’s a $400 million corruption built on the rubbles of the East Wing.

Public Citizen just dropped the receipts: 14 of 27 known corporate donors received $50.46 billion in new or expanded federal contracts in the six months since the demolition.

Worse, 16 of those donors were facing DOJ antitrust cases, NLRB labor violations, SEC probes, or merger reviews. Many of those actions were dropped, dismissed, or quietly scaled back after the donations started flowing.

Then they got billions in taxpayer-funded contracts and regulatory relief and then gave less than 1% of it back for the president’s personal palace upgrade.

This is textbook corruption using our tax dollars. The timing and scale would make any RICO prosecutor blush. Now let's see if the mainstream media does its job.

I’ve taken a lot of hits, and I’ve deserved some of them. I beat myself up over them more than you can imagine.

But the grace people have shown me here is truly humbling.

Some of the kindest words have come from the people you’d least expect.

And for that I am so grateful.

This isn’t about me. It’s about every person in recovery who shows up and tries again.

And to everyone still in the fight tonight: you are not alone, I see you.

Trump is starting to lose something very important to him — and I’m not just talking about his mind.

BREAKING: O.M.G. The woman accusing Graham Platner of "intimidation" has been EXPOSED as a top Republican operative who has worked with his opponent, Susan Collins!

This is EXACTLY what they did to Al Franken…

On Thursday evening, the New York Times ran a story in which a woman, Lindsey Fifield, accused Democratic Senate candidate Graham Platner of grabbing her by the arm, twisting her arm, and of standing in a doorway menacingly blocking her exit.

The New York Times could not corroborate any of her accusations, but ran the story anyway, along with allegations from a few other women that Graham Platner could be unsettling, had dark thoughts, and generally had spooky vibes as a boyfriend.

They also spoke to several other women who said he was a lovely boyfriend and they happily supported his candidacy.

It’s now coming out that Lindsey Fifeld is a lifelong GOP operative who has worked with Platner’s Republican opponent, Susan Collins, and successfully persuaded her to vote in favor of Brett Kavanaugh, Trump’s Supreme Court justice who is an ACTUAL rapist.

In one message to a friend, Fifeld wrote “I will personally go campaign for Collins.”

Reporter Ryan Grim at Drop Site News reports that “In 2014, Fifield began work as digital director for American Action Network, a Republican Super PAC that oversees House races. The next year she became social media manager for the Heritage Foundation, where she stayed for the next seven years.”

“In 2022, she joined the Super PAC backing Nikki Haley for president, switching to the official campaign side the next year, and staying until the campaign flamed out. She now lists herself as a visiting fellow at the Independent Women’s Forum, a prominent dark money group that is best known for helping usher Brett Kavanaugh on to the Supreme Court and giving Susan Collins the talking points she needed to make her decisive speech in his favor.“

“The NYT breezed past all this, saying she was ‘a Virginia conservative who has worked for right-leaning groups and Republican campaigns.’”

“Meanwhile, the timeline Fifield gives of their relationship is confusing, because during at least some of that time she was actually dating a different person, her longterm boyfriend who became her fiancee before she called off the wedding in 2018. We all know this because she and [Zionist extremist Bethany] Mandel did a podcast episode on it that went mega-viral in Republican circles back then.”

It should be noted as well that Lindsey Fifeld has a long history of making up baseless lies about Palestinians targeted by the Trump administration like Mahmoud Khalil and Rumeysa Ozturk.

Folks, pardon our French, but this is *bullshit.*

This is an abhorrent attempt to weaponize domestic violence and the mental trauma of dealing with PTSD in order to sink a leftist candidate who staunchly opposes the Israeli genocide of Gaza.

Oh, and if that wasn't enough, the reporter on this article is Katie Gluek, an ardent Zionist whose parents are Israeli settler-occupiers in the West Bank.

Platner’s campaign responded with “Let’s be very clear: This is a lifelong G.O.P. operative who’s dedicated her career to electing Republicans.”

What else is there to say?

Graham Platner is obviously a very imperfect person, but we are not electing him to be our boyfriend. He has been very open about his struggles with PTSD; he saw four of his squadmates killed in an IED explosion in Iraq.

This smear campaign, based on uncorroborated allegations by a woman who literally said she would work for his opponent, is part of his punishment for being a progressive who isn’t afraid to stand against Israel, to stand against the health insurance behemoths, and to demand a better life for the American people.

They managed to sink Al Franken like this. They will NOT succeed again!

They are once again stripping Black voters of representation for the sake of advancing their ideological agenda.

This decision isn’t about the law. It’s about power.

The President told voters their energy bills would be cut in half within a year. That hasn’t happened. 18 months in, electricity rates are still climbing.

So ask the obvious question: does a $700 million federal subsidy for coal lower your bill? It does not. Not one dollar of it is designed to. Worse, $425 million of it is being pulled from Defense Production Act wartime authority, the same power meant for genuine national emergencies, to subsidize aging coal plants the market is already retiring.

Here is the part they will not say out loud. Coal is one of the most expensive ways to make electricity in America. Independent analysis puts new wind and solar at a fraction of coal’s cost, the cheapest new power for the tenth straight year running. The same money invested in clean generation would deliver more electricity per dollar, build faster, and actually push bills down instead of holding them up.

This is the choice in plain terms. They are spending your tax dollars on the expensive option and using emergency war powers to do it. You were promised lower bills. Instead, you are getting a more costly grid and a bigger tab.

We can have reliable, affordable, American-made power. This is not the way to get it.

@RepThomasMassie let the public know when you intend to read them, so they can show up to support you.

Donald Trump’s high-stakes gamble in the Middle East has completely backfired.

Tehran successfully called his bluff, and the ongoing closure of the Strait of Hormuz is dragging the global economy toward an unprecedented crisis.

The current standoff in the Persian Gulf highlights a massive American miscalculation. Trump entered this war issuing aggressive ultimatums, threatening extreme consequences if the waterway was not immediately reopened. The Iranian leadership recognized his empty rhetoric for what it was, refused to back down, and effectively maintained their chokehold on one of the world's most critical energy arteries.

The lack of a decisive American response has left the White House in a deeply embarrassing holding pattern. Trump is rapidly running out of time and strategic leverage as shipping traffic through the strait remains paralyzed. This disruption represents the most severe threat to the global energy supply in decades, yet a vast portion of the public still does not grasp the scale of the economic disaster heading our way.

Iran’s regime holds all the cards because Trump is fundamentally unable to commit to a protracted military campaign. His hesitation has exposed a glaring absence of a coherent strategy, transforming a theatrical display of maximum pressure into a historic defeat. Tehran knows they are dealing with a compromised leader who has been thoroughly outmaneuvered on the global stage

This is nonsense. This is why you'll never win.

FireAid raised about $100 million, not $800 million. So right away, the central claim is inflated by hundreds of millions of dollars.

There is no IRS statement saying Gavin Newsom is running a criminal enterprise. None. If you have one, post it. Not a meme. Not a video. The IRS statement.

FireAid distributed money through nonprofits because that was the structure of the relief effort. You can criticize that model. You can argue more money should have gone directly to victims. Fine. But that is not the same thing as proving theft, laundering, or a criminal enterprise.

And CalVolunteers is not some secret NGO Gavin Newsom and his wife created in a basement. California Volunteers is a state office. The California Volunteers Fund was created by the State Legislature.

So what you have here is a pile of claims stacked on bad facts:

Wrong dollar amount.

No IRS confirmation.

No proven theft.

No evidence Newsom stole the money.

No proof FireAid was a criminal racket.

Cool, fake background though.
