Trump fell asleep again during a live televised meeting. If Joe Biden had done that, the media would have treated it like a national emergency and run wall-to-wall panic coverage for a week.

But when Trump does it, they look the other way because the clown show keeps their ratings up and their pockets full.

The hypocrisy is disgraceful. The media failed the country, and they know it.

"Only very sick kids should die from measles"

No, Secretary Kennedy

NO child should die from measles.

Because there's a vaccine to prevent it.

[Public Citizen @Public_Citizen]

We sued the Trump admin to get access to their secret contract on Trump's White House Ballroom project.

The findings?

Nothing but anonymity for billionaires and corporate donors.

Hiding the money trail is critical for Trump's schemes.

POPE LEO CONDEMNS ISRAEL:

“I carry the image of a Muslim child killed in Lebanon, who, during my visit to Lebanon, was standing there holding a sign that said "Welcome, Pope Leo," and in this latest phase of the war, he was killed.

I cannot be in favor of war.”

BREAKING: A lone Republican member of Congress is finally asking, “Am I crazy, or is Jared Kushner going around making all kinds of secret, personal deals with foreign dictators worth billions of dollars without any Congressional authorization not a textbook example of treason?"

We are now witnessing the dismantling of independent scientific oversight.

The President has terminated, without reason, multiple members of the National Science Board, the independent body that guides NSF and advises Congress and the President on U.S. science policy.

[Rep. Mike Levin @RepMikeLevin]

This should be on the front page of every newspaper in America.

A Syrian billionaire needed U.S. sanctions lifted so he could cash in on $12 billion in reconstruction contracts.

In an attempt to influence American foreign policy, he proposed a Trump-branded golf course, cut Jared Kushner & Ivanka Trump into a multibillion-dollar real estate deal for a resort in Albania, and had someone physically deliver a stone engraved with the Trump family crest to a Republican Member of Congress with instructions to take it to the White House to get the President's attention.

Trump threw his weight behind repealing the sanctions. They were lifted. The contracts are moving, the Trump family’s deals are expanding, and not a single Washington Republican is willing to say a word about any of it.

This is a corruption of everything the office of the presidency is supposed to stand for, and the American people deserve to know about it.

Breaking WaPo:

Multiple scientists who serve on an independent board established to guide the nation's nearly $9 billion basic science funding agency were just terminated from their positions by Trump.

The National Science Board was established in 1950 to guide the governance of the National Science Foundation.

#BREAKING: Psaki: “Back when Joe Biden was in office, every MAGA talking head was OBSESSED with the idea that the son of a president might be profiting off of the presidency. They were shocked, they were incensed, they were pearl-clutching until they broke those pearls. They demanded accountability…Let’s fast forward to today, shall we? That’s right. In the middle of a war that the president started, his adult son is the chief strategy advisor of a company that just so happens to be winning multi million dollar Pentagon contracts.”🙄🤦‍♀️

[Rep. Mike Levin @RepMikeLevin]

The company behind the January 6th rally that led to the attack on the U.S. Capitol has collected over $22 million of your taxpayer dollars. And the federal government made sure nobody else could compete for it. 

Welcome to Episode 11 of the Corruption Chronicles. 

Event Strategies Inc., a firm packed with Trump insiders, has been handed contract after contract through no-bid loopholes, including exemptions meant for wartime emergencies, to cover food, drinks, and AV equipment at Trump events. 

Before Trump's second term, they had $186,000 in federal contracts, and in the last year, they got $22 million in contracts. 

This is your money. You should know what they are doing with it.

I agree with what Pope Leo XIV stated today in his first Easter speech:

[Shannon Watts @shannonrwatts]

Instead of going to Easter mass, Donald Trump called into Fox News and threatened Iran with war crimes, took a presidential motorcade tour of the area where he plans to build an arch honoring himself, and golfed. https://t.co/cevy4dnjKN

We are the richest society in human history.

We can have universal health care.
We can have universal child care.
We can have universal public higher ed.

We can have a tax code that pulls back all the wealth that was stolen from the working class over the past 50 years.

Great summary from ABC News on Trump's unconstitutional executive order on mail-in voting.

"Neither the Constitution nor any act of Congress confers upon the president the authority to mandate sweeping changes to states' electoral systems or procedures."

[Aaron Rupar @atrupar]

Khanna: "No. I'm not supporting new funding. The answer for every Democrat should be 'absolutely no.' It's $400 billion for a war we oppose? We could have universal childcare for that. We could have free public college for that."

Richard Gere: “The entire planet has fallen off a cliff into the stupid zone. Do you really think these refugees and immigrants are different than us? Do you really believe these clowns like Trump, Orban, Netanyahu, Putin? You really believe what these guys say?”

Pope Leo's Easter message:

"Let those who have weapons lay them down! Let those who have the power to unleash wars choose peace! Not a peace imposed by force, but through dialogue! Not with the desire to dominate others, but to encounter them!"

George Galloway: “Donald Trump transferred 1.25 billion dollars from the US Treasury directly into his personal account in Qatar, under his name.”

[Aaron Rupar @atrupar]

The biggest story in the world right now is that the president of the United States is a demented old man who takes pleasure in torturing and killing people and is committing crimes with impunity. And yet most legacy media outlets are too cowardly to tell it like it is.

[Rep. Mike Levin @RepMikeLevin]

The Financial Times is reporting something that should be front-page news everywhere.   

Pete Hegseth didn’t just help design the Iran war. He championed it publicly, cheered it on, and sold it to the American people. And according to the Financial Times, while his own department was in the final stages of preparing to launch it, his broker at Morgan Stanley was attempting to make a multimillion-dollar investment in the defense companies that build the weapons we used to fight it.   

The investment didn’t ultimately go through, but only because the fund wasn’t yet available on Morgan Stanley’s platform. Not because anyone stopped it.  

If these reports are accurate, the Secretary of Defense was positioned to profit from a war he helped start, using information no private investor could ever have. That is a profound betrayal of every service member he commands, and of every American who trusted this Administration with their national security.  

No one should be cashing in on privileged information while lives and national security are on the line.
