🚨 Fifty Senate Republicans Just Voted To Keep The Door Open.
A measure that would have permanently blocked Trump’s proposed $1.8 billion fund failed after every Republican senator voted against it.
🚨 BREAKING: Bessent Wouldn't Answer The Hypothetical.
Rep. Linda Sánchez asked Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent a simple question:
If Joe Biden filed an amended tax return claiming the government owed him $1 billion, would that be audited?
🔥 Bessent refused to answer.
That's what made the exchange notable.
Sánchez wasn't really asking about Biden.
She was testing whether the standard being applied to Trump would be applied to anyone else.
And Bessent wouldn't engage.
At least 97 people Trump gave clemency for Jan. 6 have been arrested for, charged with, or convicted of crimes unrelated to Jan. 6 since that day five years ago.

Irizarry is assigned to the office’s irregular warfare and counterterrorism section, the people familiar with the matter said. The team comprises about 40 people, and its portfolio includes operations such as embassy security, personnel recovery and hostage rescue.

Washington Post: Elias Irizarry, a convicted Jan. 6 rioter, has been hired by the Trump administration to work in a Pentagon office that oversees highly classified military operations, according to four people familiar with the matter.
The hire has raised alarm among staff, who question how someone convicted of taking part in the assault on American democracy could be trusted with such a sensitive role in the U.S. government.
On September 6, 2021, Sascha Riley, a decorated war hero, wrote this on his Facebook, the account of how trump raped him when he was a little boy. These are serious accusations. Why the fuck is trump not going after Sascha? Is trump afraid of the discovery if he sues Sascha? Read this please.
Ghislaine Maxwell's deposition denials were material perjury, a federal court ruled. Honest answers, the ruling states, could have let Virginia Giuffre locate other victims or witnesses. Her lies under oath kept other survivors from being found.
Donald Trump lost the 2020 election. He lost California by millions of votes in the 2024 election, and now he's trying to undermine confidence in our elections because he’s a repeat loser here.
Sorry Donald, the voters decide who leads California. Not you.
Trump’s DOL has put in place a federal rule to slash farmworker wages up to $5-$7/hour. Rep. Lofgren is fighting back with a Congressional Review Act–a tool to allow Congress to overturn federal agency regs. Tell your US Rep to support it TODAY. #WeFeedYou https://t.co/4JQiLuCspF
@OrevaZSN@draeneiaddict I view billionaires far worse than serial killers. The impact of billionaires on humanity and the planet is far wider and more encompassing than any individual serial killer.
They’re both sociopathic human beings not fit to live in society.
@OurShallowState@AvaAnneMarie Vladimir Putin is going to be furious. In retaliation against Trump for not being able to control his own party Putin might release whatever Kompromat he has on Trump. One thing for sure you can bet it's ugly as HELL.
@parismartineau Are any of you old enough to remember when government just sort of... worked?
Not perfectly, not even well, but kinda did what it was supposed to do instead of whatever the absolute sleep paralysis demon bullshit this is?
@parismartineau@MikePrysner Trump does not permit anyone into the upper echelons of his administration unless they have been compromised—usually by the Epstein Ring.
