When I called out Trump years ago for being a danger to democracy, a free press, and truth itself, I was accused of making myself the story and showboating. How did things turn out? Trump is all of those things. Tonight, the free press is very much in danger in America. Wake up!

MORELLE: Is it your testimony that if somebody paid the president $1 million for a pardon, that would not violate federal law?

BLANCHE: That is not my testimony

MORELLE: So if someone wrote in the memo of a check for $1m to the president, 'for the issuance of a pardon,' would that be a violation of federal law?

BLANCHE: Yes, potentially. For the president himself who accepted the money, I think you would have to impeach him.

BREAKING: THE WORLD TURNS ON THE TRUMPS! Over 100,000 Albanians flood the streets to STOP crooked @jaredkushner from turning their protected wetlands into a luxury resort for billionaires.

While Trump dismantles America's ocean monitoring systems and guts environmental protections at home, his son-in-law Jared Kushner is bulldozing protected wetlands in Albania to build a $4 billion luxury resort — and thousands of Albanians are in the streets trying to stop him.

The project, linked to Kushner's firm Affinity Partners, would cover 2.5 square kilometers of the protected Vjosa-Narta coastal landscape — home to flamingos, Mediterranean monk seals, and sea turtle nesting sites. The planned development includes roughly 10,000 hotel rooms and villas on protected Adriatic coastland that Albanian law was specifically designed to preserve.

In early May, excavators began clearing pine forests and dunes. Barbed-wire fences went up, cutting off locals and tourists from beaches they've used for generations. Then a video went viral showing private security guards dragging a peaceful protester along a cliff by force.

That was the spark. Thousands flooded the streets of Tirana for two consecutive days, chanting "Albania belongs to Albanians" and demanding the resignation of Prime Minister Edi Rama, who has been facilitating the project through legislative changes to protected area laws passed in 2024 — changes that Albania's own anti-corruption prosecutors are now investigating.

SPAK, Albania's special anti-corruption prosecution office, has opened a formal probe into how Vjosa-Narta's protected status was quietly altered to make Kushner's resort possible. Two private security companies had their licenses revoked after the assault on protesters. Fifteen demonstrators have been charged. The local police chief was stripped of his duties.

This is the same Jared Kushner who received a $2 billion investment from Saudi Arabia's sovereign wealth fund shortly after leaving the White House following Trump's first term. The same Kushner who has been leveraging Trump family connections into overseas deals across the Middle East and Europe,while his father-in-law runs American foreign policy.

Flamingos and monk seals don't have lobbyists. Protected coastlines don't make campaign contributions. But Kushner has a very famous father-in-law — and Albania's government apparently made the calculation that that was enough incentive to destroy their own country’s environment.

Now, Albanian citizens are saying otherwise. Loudly.
Please like and share this post everywhere if you support the Albanian citizens’ protests against Jared Kushner’s greedy desecration of their land and coastline.

Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump saw this untouched wilderness in Albania and decided to build an enormous luxury resort there.

Albanians are fighting to shut them down.

A reporter doing his job. Really got under Trump’s skin, great job! Clearly the question was a good one!

🇺🇸 Take a minute to reflect on the hallowed grounds of the Normandy American Cemetery in France on this Memorial Day. Perched on a bluff overlooking Omaha Beach — the very site where our heroes launched the greatest assault for liberty in human history — lie the final resting places of 9,389 American warriors who gave their last full measure of devotion during D-Day in World War II.

These are not just graves. They are monuments to American courage, sacrifice, and the fierce belief that freedom is worth dying for. Among them:

• 307 Unknown Soldiers — forever honored, never forgotten.
• 1,557 names inscribed on the Walls of the Missing — their spirits still watching over the cause they served.
• 45 pairs of brothers who fought and fell together.
• Three Medal of Honor recipients and four heroic American women buried side by side with their brothers-in-arms.

This sacred cemetery was established on June 8, 1944, just days after the invasion. This was the first American WWII cemetery on European soil. A permanent reminder that when evil threatened the world, America answered the call.

To every American who stormed those beaches, climbed those cliffs, and never came home: Your blood bought our tomorrow. Because of you, the light of liberty still shines bright across the globe.
We will never forget. We will never falter.
God Bless our Fallen Heroes. God Bless the United States of America. ❤️🤍💙

So yesterday Donald Trump posted a video of him crashing Stephen Colbert's final show, and literally throwing him in the garbage, and of course, I had to FIX it.

[ClarksonsFarm @ClarksonsFarm1]

An important message.

[Matthew Keys @MatthewKeysLive]

Just one day after ending "The Late Show" on CBS, Stephen Colbert returned to TV — to host a public access show with rocker Jack White in Monroe, Michigan.

Appearances by Jeff Daniels, Eminem and Steve Buscemi.

The slush fund.

The ballroom.

The IRS get-out-of-jail-free card.

Donald Trump isn’t serving the American people — he’s serving himself. And he thinks you’re dumb enough to fall for it.

[April Huggett @AprilHuggett]

I am a #Canadian woman serving as a medic in the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

I have seen what this war does up close.

I have seen soldiers joke through exhaustion because if they stop laughing, they might break.

I have seen villages emptied, animals left behind, homes turned into ruins, and good people carrying more pain than any human should ever have to carry.

And still, every day, our people keep going.

But courage does not stop drones.
Hope does not replace medical supplies, batteries, radios, vehicles, generators, or the equipment that keeps our soldiers alive.

That is why I am asking for help.

https://t.co/IJzUt6n1q9

The Alcatraz Battalion needs support urgently. We are fighting with everything we have, but we are constantly short of what we need. Every delay costs us. Every missing piece of equipment puts someone’s son, daughter, husband, wife, brother, sister, or friend in more danger.

I know people are tired. I know the world is overwhelmed. I know there are a million causes asking for your attention.

But please don’t look away from Ukraine.

Behind every fundraiser is a real person trying to survive another day. Behind every donation is a chance that someone comes home alive. Even the smallest amount matters here. It turns into fuel for evacuations. It turns into medical supplies. It turns into batteries, protection, repairs, and time. Sometimes it turns into the difference between life and death.

Donate if you can.
Share if you can’t.
Send this to someone who might help.

We are not asking for comfort.
We are asking for the tools to keep fighting, keep rescuing, keep holding the line, and keep our people alive.

Ukraine is still here.
We are still here.
And we still need you.
