Trump is a lame duck President.

I WOULD LIKE TO REMIND EVERYONE THAT US ELECTIONS WERE CONSIDERED FREE AND FAIR UNTIL THE DAY A CORRUPT DERANGED RUSSIAN-ISRAEL CONTROLLED SERIAL LIAR TOLD AMERICA THEIR ELECTIONS WAS RIGGED EVERY TIME HE LOST 🙄

[IanMalcolm84 @IanMalcolm84]

A great development: The Senate voted AGAINST the NDAA 50-46, denying Israel a merger with the US.

Those 46 who voted in favor, should face charges for treason

BREAKING: PARDON IMPLOSION! Rapper Boosie Badazz files a massive lawsuit alleging that he paid for a pardon from Trump and never received it.

This is a stunning look under the corruption hood...

Boosie Badazz, real name Torence Hatch Jr., alleges that he paid $600,000 to the MAGA-connected DC lobbyist firm JM Burkman & Associates to obtain a pardon for a 2023 incident in which he was convicted for bringing a loaded weapon to a music video shoot.

Hatch has filed suit to recover half of the sum he paid for the backroom maneuvering because the pardon never materialized.

According to The Guardian, this suit could portend an entirely new "genre of litigation stemming from Trump’s habit during his second presidency of doling out pardons en masse to people whom he considers to be aligned with him and were convicted of federal crimes."

In other words, Trump has so debased presidential pardons by handing them out for money and favors that a shadowy secondary market has sprung up in which brokers, both fraudulent and genuine, offer to obtain pardons for clients in return for large sums of money. The Guardian refers to it as the "clemency economy" and it's a thriving, hidden market through which millions of dark dollars flow. A criminal President breeds a criminal country.

In this instance, lobby records prove that Hatch hired the firm in question to pursue his pardon. The lobbyists eventually falsely informed Hatch that Trump had signed the pardon and they were simply waiting for the announcement. It never came.

Hatch stated that the lobbyists, far-right convicted felons Jacob Wohl and Jack Burkman, were "real aggressive – they were talking like they had Trump on speed dial.”

When Hatch's attorney contacted the White House for clarification, administration officials insisted that they had never received the request in the first place.

Regardless of the truth of this specific case, this scandal is the natural result of allowing a convicted felon, adjudicated rapist, and alleged pedophile to wield the power of the presidential pardon. He was always going to use it to destroy the very idea of the law itself.

Once we have subpoena power again, Democrats need to investigate every single one of Trump's pardons and prosecute every single act of corruption.

Please ❤️ and share to demand a full investigation of the "clemency economy" when Democrats retake control of Congress!

BREAKING: Sen. Jon Ossoff SLAMS Trump as TERRIFIED of losing power and willing to torch democracy to save his own skin.

Senator Jon Ossoff just went SCORCHED EARTH on Donald Trump while speaking to reporters today outside the Capitol — and he didn't hold back on exactly why Trump is spiraling.

Facing questions about reports that Trump may push the Justice Department to investigate Georgia's elections and potentially challenge the state’s sitting senators' legitimacy, Ossoff laid out the stakes in blunt terms: Trump is terrified of losing power, and he's willing to torch democracy itself to hold onto it.

"He's pocketing billions of dollars for himself while he drives up prices for the American people," Ossoff told reporters. "He fears defeat in the midterms, and that explains his spiral into conspiracy theories."

Asked whether Trump declaring election fraud might warrant invoking the 25th Amendment, Ossoff didn't blink: "I think it's time for the president to do something of value for the American people instead of lining his own pockets while he's in office."

But the most striking moment came when Ossoff connected the dots on WHY Trump is fixated on Georgia specifically. "From the very moment Georgia voters rejected him in 2020, he's been on the warpath because he was humiliated by the rebuke that Georgians dealt him," Ossoff said. "And he was humiliated and furious in particular, AS A COMMITTED LIFELONG RACIST, that it was Black voters in Georgia who were instrumental in his defeat."

That's not rhetoric. That's a sitting U.S. senator naming exactly what's driving a sitting president's assault on American elections.

Ossoff also didn't let Georgia Republicans off the hook, pointing out that Congressman Mike Collins — who's launched his campaign to unseat Ossoff in November while doubling down on 2020 election denialism — now has to defend both Trump's conspiracy theories AND a health insurance premium hike that's hit more than a million Georgians.

"Let's see how Mike Collins handles this now," Ossoff said.

Perhaps most telling: Ossoff revealed that privately, "most elected Republicans in this building think the president has lost it and is dooming them to dismal losses this fall." They just won't say it publicly.

Trump isn't fighting for election integrity. He’s fighting to keep Democrats from gaining control of Congress and finally holding him accountable for his multitude of crimes and misdeeds. He's fighting against the voters — especially Black voters — who rejected him once already, both in Georgia and other states across the country.

His racist, authoritarian agenda must be defeated!

[Amber Woods @AmberWoods100]

The DOJ is now 206 days past the legal deadline for the Epstein files.

Not a request.
Not a campaign promise.
A federal law.

Every day of delay denies survivors answers and shields the wealthiest and most powerful people in the world from scrutiny.

Q: Are you afraid to be speaking out?

PabloReports: Blanche is up for his Senate confirmation hearing. What would be your message to senators evaluating him?

Massie: Well, I hope at least one of those senators asks him why he’s in violation of the law. There are several things they’re still withholding. The files are overly redacted, and I do think it’s a good opportunity to ask him when he’s going to come into compliance with that law.

[BrooklynDad_Defiant!☮️ @mmpadellan]

I absolutely LOVE all these L's the court is handing trump, especially THIS one with the tax immunity, because the courts basically told him hell f*cking NO, you clown.

BONUS: His lawyers, including Todd Blanche, being referred for sanctions. What a lovely day!🙏

Todd Blanche doesn't protect victims, he protects criminals. Tell your senator to vote for NO for Todd Blanche for Attorney General.

"Riddle me this: when Obama ran intelligence, the election was secure and Donald Trump won in 2016.

When Biden ran the government and the intelligence, the election was secure and Trump ran in 2024.

But when Donald Trump and all of his boobs were running US national security, it got all effed up. Is that the theory?"

Jon Ossoff just responded to reports that Trump plans to declare him an “illegitimate” senator because of nonexistent voter fraud. Every word of this is spot on. Spread it everywhere and support Ossoff!!!

This week Todd Blanche--the architect of the current Jeffrey Epstein cover up--will go before the Senate to be confirmed. And every Republican Senator still alive and not in the hospital will vote to confirm him. Every Sen who votes to confirm is complicit in the cover up of largest child rape and sex trafficking ring ever
