This is the latest Trump corruption to push back on.
He's gotten the attorney general to exempt him from the tax laws that govern everyone else—including other presidents.
Bill and I released 30+ years of tax returns and were audited a few times! https://t.co/6JiiVjIv3F
“Every American is subject to audit except Donald Trump and his family. I think that’s absurd.”
Senator @RonWyden confronts Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent on Trump’s corrupt IRS deal to give his family immunity from tax audits.
WATCH:
Trump just appointed the head of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac as acting DNI — the nation’s top intelligence official. No intelligence background. No Senate confirmation required. But plenty of evidence he’ll use the position to target Trump’s enemies.
Definitely worth reading. https://t.co/Pd5GA2UQra
BREAKING: WHITE FLAG! Republicans suddenly drop funding for Trump's $1 billion ballroom from their immigration bill as public backlash grows.
Are we tired of winning yet folks?
The Senate bill originally contained $1 billion of your tax dollars for “security adjustments and upgrades” to Trump's vanity project ballroom. In reality, it was a blatant scheme to siphon away money to fund a monument to Donald's bloated ego.
Republicans feared that the provision would totally collapse their efforts to pass their massive immigration bill, which prioritizes an insane $70 billion for ICE and Border Patrol — a complete waste of money aimed at pandering to the xenophobic MAGA base. They realized that the ballroom has become politically radioactive and chose to prioritize "immigration enforcement."
Keeping the ballroom funding in the legislation would have made it vulnerable to filibustering from Democrats due to procedural rules.
More broadly, Republicans realized that wasting massive sums of money on a ballroom for Trump, his family, and unindicted Epstein co-conspirators would be spitting in the eye of a public that's struggling to even afford groceries thanks to the President's disastrous policies.
This is another major setback for Trump who just can't seem to stop losing these days. He's become increasingly obsessed with erecting and renovating structures, desperately grasping for a legacy as his presidency disintegrates into total failure. We can't allow him to succeed.
Keep up the pressure and speak out!
Please ❤️ and share if you staunchly oppose the ballroom!
New statement from Scott Pelley:
“Last month, 60 Minutes lost its DNA when our entire senior leadership and two of our best on-air correspondents were cruelly fired without cause. Good people were silenced because they stood up for our audience. They stood for fairness against the forces of political bias; they stood for professionalism against chaos.
For my part, new management has instructed me to inject falsehoods and bias into a politically sensitive story. I’ve been told to include assertions that are unverified. To date, in every case, I have managed to ignore these instructions or refuse them. Recently, politicians have been invited to choose correspondents for interviews on the broadcast. Giving politicians control over 60 Minutes interviews is not how this is done. Finally, incompetence and unprofessionalism in the new management have wreaked havoc. In a case involving one of my stories, the entire program came within 19 minutes of not getting on the air at all.
At 60 Minutes, we have fought harder than anyone knows to save the program that became an American icon. We owed that to our millions of viewers. I am deeply moved by the thousands of wishes we have received to “keep up the good fight.” Most of the men and women of CBS News are still in that fight. But now the collapse of values at the top has become untenable. The leadership of 60 Minutes is no longer recognizable. The principles I hold dear are gone, and so I must leave as well.”
A highschool senior, a pregnant woman, and a man with Stage Three cancer. These are the people I met in Delaney Hall. When DHS tells you they are only arresting the worst of the worst, they're lying. These are everyday people kept in inhumane conditions with our tax dollars.
Americans have paid $53 billion more for gas and diesel because of the Iran war, but Treasury Secretary Bessent just said inflation is a “blip.”
Not for families paying at the pump.
Alex Pretti was an ICU nurse.
He spent his life saving people.
Trump's federal agents pumped him full of bullets and then Trump officials smeared him as a "terrorist."
An ER nurse.
A son.
A human being.
Not a terrorist.
The more Americans learn about what happened to Alex Pretti, the more outrageous the official story becomes.
Watch the video: https://t.co/ddjAMmtMc5
Look at the facts: https://t.co/BNgCeE44rf
Then ask yourself:
If this can happen to an American ICU nurse, who exactly is safe from government abuse?

ICE in Chicago aggressively chase and detain a man without alleging looking at his paperwork to see whether he’s here legally or not and then they slam into another vehicle damaging it. They then get upset and start threatening the bystanders recording them with pepper spray.
