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

Trump’s DOJ shut down a federal investigation into a coal company owned by one of his closest Senate allies, after it racked up tens of thousands of alleged violations for dumping toxic chemicals into our waterways. 

Welcome to Episode 20 of The Corruption Chronicles.

This is what cowardice looks like.

Hundreds of masked extremists marched through our nation's capital on America's 250th birthday, hiding their faces while claiming to "reclaim America."

But the image everyone will remember isn't them.

It's the young woman sitting quietly on the Metro, refusing to surrender her dignity while surrounded by hate.

History is watching.

BREAKING: Disturbing new allegations accuse Republicans of hiding Mitch McConnell’s health status in order to prevent a special election that could put Trump’s enemy Thomas Massie in the Senate!

This seems INCREDIBLY shady…

Independent journalist Desirée Townsend laid out the disturbing case with clarity:

“Senator Mitch McConnell has now been hospitalized for three weeks. The gravity of this situation cannot be overstated, especially given that his wife, Elaine Chao, appeared in China just days after his hospitalization to meet with high-ranking Chinese officials.”

“The question now is about national security: if Senator McConnell has been unable to independently perform his duties, what safeguards exist to ensure classified intelligence briefings, defense appropriations information, or other sensitive congressional matters could not be accessed, discussed, or shared by individuals operating behind the scenes? And given the timing of Chao’s meeting with China’s vice president, what exactly was discussed?”

These are important questions that we NEED answers for.
Mitch McConnell has not been seen in public in over three weeks, nor have we had any update on his health after he suffered cardiac arrest, was given CPR, and then hospitalized.

Curiously, his wife Elaine Chao, who is not a government official, suddenly flew to China just three days after the incident – meaning that the person with power of attorney over his affairs is out of the country, meaning there is nobody to declare him brain-dead if he is indeed in a coma or otherwise mentally unfit to do his job, which it was unclear that he was capable of doing before.

Is she hiding in China to keep him alive as a vegetable?
In Kentucky, a special election to replace a Senator will NOT be called if it’s closer than 3 months till the next election, and that date is August 3rd.

If a special election was called, Trump’s vocal critic Thomas Massie would certainly run and likely win – which would be a HUGE headache for Trump and his agenda. If he didn’t win, he would split the vote, allowing a Democrat like Charles Booker to fill the seat.
That’s why they’re trying to conceal his condition as long as possible.

Either way, this is absolutely unacceptable. Mitch McConnell is the chair of the important Senate Rules Committee.

We cannot allow Republicans to just lie to the American people and treat their jobs like its a position they OWN, especially when so much is at stake and one vote could change history forever.

Republicans need to tell us what the hell is going on with Mitch McConnell, ASAP.

🚨BREAKING: (Chicago suburb) An ICE agent just shot a protester outside the Broadview ICE facility… and then drove away.

In the video, ICE agents were leaving the Broadview ICE facility when one agent stopped, aimed a pepper ball gun at a protester, who was standing on a public sidewalk… not blocking the vehicle, or obstructing anything… and shot them in the abdomen.

Then, they just kept driving.

The protester had to be treated at the scene before being transported to the hospital.

Now, imagine if an ordinary U.S. citizen pulled up, shot someone with a pepper ball gun, and drove away... Police would be looking for them. There would be arrests, charges, and headlines calling it what it was…

Assault.

But when it’s a federal agent?

And this isn’t even the first time something like this has happened.

We’ve watched ICE agents assault protesters with pepper spray, from their vehicles, and keep driving. We’ve watched people exercising their constitutional rights become targets. We’ve watched it happen over and over again.

So, where is the accountability?

Peacefully protesting, on a public sidewalk, is protected by the First Amendment. Using force against someone, who poses no immediate threat, is a direct violation of that right.

And every single person in this country should be demanding answers.

Because if federal agents can shoot a peaceful protester, drive away, and face no consequences…

Then we no longer have equal justice under the law. We have one set of rules for the government, and another for everyone else.

Chris Christie tears into Trump’s unprecedented grifting:

“He and his family believe they are entitled to this… This is Putin-esque type of corruption and self-enrichment.”

BREAKING: This is the smog in Washington DC this morning after Trump’s 5th of July fireworks display.

Note that he used six times the number of shells as a typical Washington DC Independence Day show, costing taxpayers six times as much money.

This isn’t patriotism, it’s nationalistic Theatre and authoritarian pageantry

BASH: The president's armored motorcade of SUVs, which can weigh up to 20,000 pounds, drove across that new coating of the reflecting pool. Could that have damaged it?

BURGUM: No. There was no damage that night whatsoever.

So what exactly does patriotism look like 250 years on from the founding of a nation? I think John Cena said it best.

One thing it’s not for sure is to encourage division and tribalism. Racism, misogyny and homophobia sure as hell isn’t patriotism.

It’s time to make America care again, only then can the land of the free deliver true freedom to its citizens.

#BREAKING: Psaki: You’ve reviewed many presidential financial disclosures. What did you make of this monstrosity of 900 pages from Trump? 

Norm Eisen: “We’ve NEVER seen corruption like this in American history…Donald Trump is MONETIZING the presidency for himself, for his family, his cronies in and outside of the government, and the American people are the losers because these massive crypto deals, people have lost hundreds of millions of dollars when the value of these Trump-associated crypto currencies bottom out. Some of these companies have cratered, like ALT5 Sigma, associated with Trump’s family, with Witkoff’s family, massive losses in the value of that. You shouldn’t have a president who is regulating, or in Donald Trump’s case, failing to regulate crypto companies, or any other industry, while doing enormous profit taking…”

Good morning and Happy 4th of July Saturday to everyone who agrees that our President should not be openly scheming on rigging elections for the next 100 years. It's the most un-American thing you can do.

That's why you DON'T elect felons, FFS.

Nothing screams “American Pride” quite like the president of the United States marking our 250th by using a made up quote from our founding document to get a crowd of smooth brained shidiots to cheer because it validates their hatred of people who don’t worship the way they do.
