FBI records obtained through a Judicial Watch lawsuit reveal that a Butler County Sheriff’s deputy exchanged two emails with Trump shooter Thomas Crooks before the July 13, 2024 assassination attempt. The records remain heavily redacted, concealing the nature of the communications. The documents also reveal a SWAT officer recovered a cell phone and a remote device with an antenna from Crooks after he was killed.

This is the type of shit that needs no words to troll itself.

This is actually real… he’s really posting infomercials plugging this…

Using America’s 250th Anniversary too…

More like… “As my dad tanks the economy as fast as he can, nothing is more patriotic than getting your hands on some Don Jr Gold to celebrate America’s 250th Anniversary in case it’s our last”

This is SNL material or even better #smokefleet material

LIE. I was there. They were walking through the building, destroying property, spreading feces on the walls, stealing things, rioting and threatening to kill the Vice President. But other than that . . .

Think about all the column inches and headlines devoted to Graham Platner over the past week versus Ken Paxton and then tell me again we have a ‘liberal’ media.

NEW: A stunning new project from @lawfare's Katherine Pompilio finds that 97 Jan. 6ers who received clemency for their role in the Capitol riot then got arrested, charged, and/or convicted with subsequent crimes—a number much higher than previously reported.

[Mike Levin @MikeLevin]

This is so insanely corrupt, I can’t even believe it.

More than half the donors to Trump’s $400 million White House ballroom just won over $50 billion in new federal contracts in six months.

And here’s the part that should make your blood boil.

Sixteen of these 27 donors were facing federal enforcement actions, antitrust reviews, labor cases, securities charges. Many of those cases have been quietly dropped or scaled back since Trump took office. You write a check, your legal problems disappear. That’s not a coincidence.

The White House won’t even release the full donor list. They’re hiding it on purpose, because daylight is the one thing pay-to-play can’t survive. A federal judge already ruled ballroom construction has to stop until Congress authorizes it.

Government is supposed to serve the people, not auction itself off to the highest bidder. When access goes to whoever pays the most, working families always end up paying the price.

We either end the corruption, or the corruption will end us.

NEWS: The House has passed the Ukraine Support Act, 226-195, to provide new military aid to Ukraine and impose tougher sanctions on Russia.

The bill advanced through a discharge petition despite Speaker Mike Johnson's efforts to block a vote.

18 Republicans and former Republican Kevin Kiley broke with leadership to vote for it.

Trump appears to be completely passed out asleep during his 3pm Oval Office announcement

[Jo @JoJoFromJerz]

Holy shit. He’s fucking out.

[Hillary Clinton @HillaryClinton]

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

Exclusive: A convicted Jan. 6 rioter who later said that he regretted his participation in the U.S. Capitol attack has been hired by the Trump administration to work inside a Pentagon office that manages highly classified military operations. https://t.co/3OtllgCSWP

‼️NEW: A federal judge in Massachusetts seemed skeptical of President Donald Trump’s executive order attacking mail-in voting, which, if allowed to stand, could have enormous consequences on the midterm elections. https://t.co/ljZ6poTORh

[Marc E. Elias @marceelias]

Shortly after the 2025 elections, I published a list of seven voting laws every blue state should enact. While I stand by all seven, I want to highlight three. https://t.co/4RXOlS0Y4J

Former intel official: What is the intent of Bill Pulte's appointment? If you take your number one attack dog and you put him in charge of the 17 agencies that collect the most sensitive secrets, what would that mean in the hands of someone who is known as a political targeter?

[Ned Price @nedprice]

The biggest news isn't that Trump is appointing someone without a national security background to a position that, by law, requires "extensive" experience. It's that Pulte earned Trump's trust by using **mortgage** records to pursue perceived political enemies. Now this top henchman will have access to some of our most sensitive intelligence and exquisite capabilities. That's why this is so noteworthy -- and concerning.

[Rep. Mike Levin @RepMikeLevin]

If you found out the judge deciding your case had a family member working for one of the parties involved, would you consider that a conflict of interest?

I would.

Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito was deciding cases involving the U.S. Treasury Department while his son was working there as a lawyer and a Trump Administration political appointee, and nobody was supposed to find out.

A justice must step aside in any case where there is a reasonable basis to question whether he or she can be impartial. A justice ruling on cases involving the department where his son works fails that test, and Alito did not recuse himself.

The Supreme Court is the only court in America with no binding code of conduct, and that has to change.

Congress controls the Power of the Purse, which means we control the Court's funding. If the justices refuse to adopt a binding code of conduct with real recusal review, I support withholding their funding until they do.

Did you know that Trump pardoned 77 people that stole from Medicare.
Is Trump selling pardons? That would be enough to send Trump away.

A former Brazilian model has claimed the first lady was an “escort” for Epstein and met the president through the notorious sex offender.

I spoke to President Trump on the phone last hour about the end of negotiations with the Iranians. He told me: “I don’t care if they’re over, honestly. I really don’t care. I couldn’t care less. If they’re over, they’re over. If they’re not, you know, I think they took too much time. Frankly, I thought they started to get very boring.”
