We have a president pocketing billions with a crypto scam, while Susan Collins became a multi-millionaire, funneling taxpayer dollars to her husband and profiting off stock trades while in office.
Enriching yourself through public office should be a crime.
🚨EXACTLY: Hakeem Jeffries goes nuclear on Donald Trump’s HISTORIC CORRUPTION accusing Trump of running “the largest pay-to-play scheme in the history of America.”
He not only slammed Trump for perpetrating “the biggest fraud on the people of this country” from 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue - but he excoriated Republicans for letting it happen:
“If House Republicans were actually serious about protecting taxpayer dollars… they would start at the White House, because that’s the swamp.”

A Florida university is threatening to withhold students' diplomas unless they record a 2-minute video apologizing for a silent protest they staged against ICE actions on campus.
Such is life in the "Free State of Florida" ....

🚨 Cop starts barking orders at 'Food not Bombs' volunteers and is ignored. So he ramps up the response in a disproportionate show of force, resulting in arrests for 4 demonstrators & citations for another 6.
"They were surrounding us." LIES!
Police are why people hate police.
Every American should be outraged by what Trump has done to our nation's 250th birthday celebration. What should have been a once-in-a-generation moment to unite the country has been turned into another vehicle for division, propaganda, and political gain.
We uncovered how he hijacked America 250 – watch to see how.
WATCH — @chrislhayes: “The corruption is so frequent and brazen, he’s shoving our faces in it. Trump and his sons have added $2.3 BILLION from crypto while investors lost a nearly identical amount… a DIRECT TRANSFER into their pockets. They’re playing in our faces.”
"He reached down into the pool and violently removed the liner" -- Judge Jeanine's press conference about charges she's bringing against a reflecting pool "vandal" was like a deleted scene from Idiocracy. Just when you think things can't get dumber, they find a way.
Here's a blooper reel:
Greg Abbott just appointed Huffines, the owner of the Epstein ranch & his party's nominee, to be TX Comptroller.
Why? So YOU pay for Huffines’ campaign. Last year, Abbott signed SB2, that lets the Comptroller spend your tax $$ on self-advertising as an exception to Govt Code Sec. 2113.011, which bans an agency from using “appropriated money to publicize or direct attention to an individual officer or employee of state government.”
I fought against allowing these taxpayer-funded campaign ads, because I saw it for exactly what it was: corruption.
It’s the Greg Abbott Corruption Tax, & we're all paying it.
🚨 BREAKING: Melania Trump’s former top aide Stephanie Winston Wolkoff drops bombshell — says investigators must examine Melania’s texts, Signals, and private emails because “she is very well aware of everything” Donald has done.
Wolkoff warns Melania will be held accountable and prays Americans see the Trump family as consumed by “corruption, deceit, and deception” who “want nothing good for you.”
It turns out Donald might not be the only Trump facing serious questions.
They never cared about Nancy Pelosi or Hunter Biden.
Their casual shrug at what Donald Trump and his sons are doing confirms the screeching and shirt-rending of the Biden era was performative bullshit.
What do they care about? Two things: their Big Important Feelings and POWER.
The Donald Trump Portfolio Tracker has already been suspended.
The account collected Trump's stocks, etc. from open sources.
The most transparent administration in history!
An active-duty member of the United States military stood on the steps of the Capitol, in uniform, and called for the impeachment, conviction, and removal of Donald Trump. He was arrested.
He didn’t stumble into this. He knew exactly what he was doing.
Under Department of Defense rules and the Uniform Code of Military Justice, active-duty service members are heavily restricted from engaging in partisan political activity, especially in uniform. Depending on how this is charged, he could be facing violations like Article 92 (failure to obey orders or regulations), and for officers, even Article 88 (contempt toward officials). That’s not a slap on the wrist, that’s career-ending territory. Court-martial, loss of rank, forfeited pay, even prison time are all on the table.
He risked everything: his career, his pension, his freedom, and the future he built inside the military.
And he did it anyway.
You don’t have to agree with what he said to recognize what it took to say it. Real courage isn’t reserved for safe opinions or popular moments. It shows up when the cost is clear, and you move forward anyway.
The military demands discipline and neutrality for a reason. But history is full of moments where individuals inside institutions decided that staying silent was the greater violation.
That tension, between duty to the system and duty to conscience, is where this story lives.
Maybe you think he crossed a line. Maybe you think he drew one.
But let’s not pretend this was casual. This was deliberate. This was informed. This was someone fully aware of the consequences choosing to act anyway.
Time will decide how this moment is remembered. It always does.
But one thing is undeniable: he knew the price, and he spoke anyway. VIA!~~~ Melinda Fulton
Trump: "I gave the farmers $28 billion dollars."
No, YOU didn't give them shit. American taxpayers gave them $28 billion after your tariffs crippled their business.
It’s pretty fucking disgusting that we live in a country where climbing the Empire State Building is a crime but rich people touching little kids isn’t.
President Trump is referenced in FBI interview summaries tied to a woman who accused him of sexual assault decades ago, yet three of those summaries are absent from the Justice Department’s public release of its Epstein files. https://t.co/iINXihLTJz
Kash Patel is directing a nationwide FBI effort supporting an investigation focused on Georgia & the 2020 election, with hundreds of intelligence analysts reportedly assigned to the work.
Quite the use of FBI resources to find evidence that doesn't exist to support Trump's obsessive lies about the past.
Every hour spent chasing political theatrics is an hour not spent on today's threats and keeping Americans safe.
As a reminder, Bill Barr is a fixer for Opus Dei and the christofascist right. He covered up Iran-Contra for Reagan & Bush, torpedoed the Mueller Report, set Mike Flynn & Roger Stone free, and skedaddled just before J6.
His dad was an OSS agent who hired Jeffrey Epstein.
