BREAKING: HELL YES! Congressman Ted Lieu announces that a future Democratic administration will PROSECUTE the Trump family members and officials who are raking in money illegally.

The MAGA gravy train is headed straight off a cliff...

"The American people are suffering from a cost-of-living emergency. Inflation is up. Grocery prices are up. Gas prices are up," said Lieu. "The Consumer Sentiment Index hit the lowest ever in its 74-year history. But you know who's doing really well? Trump and his family."

"According to a report from Democrats on the House Oversight Committee, Trump and his family have made over $9 billion in his presidency," the congressman continued. "The corruption in this administration is out of control."

Trump and his children have treated his second presidency as an opportunity to steal everything that isn't literally nailed down. They're lining their pockets through crypto pump and dump schemes and pocketing jaw-dropping sweetheart deals. Just this week, Eric Trump was seen publicly boasting about a robotics company he works for receiving a $24 million Pentagon contract. Money is flowing out of our pockets as taxpayers and straight into the bloated bank accounts of Trump's crime family.

"And we saw again last week that there were suspiciously timed market trades right before Donald Trump made statements relating to the Iran war!" Lieu continued "And this is not the first time it has happened. Media reports have now analyzed this and said that these trades look awfully suspicious. And the only people who would know what Donald Trump is about to say before he says it are people close to Trump."

"So I call on the SEC to do an investigation into all these suspiciously timed market trades. And if they do not, I guarantee you a future administration will prosecute these criminals," Lieu concluded.

The reports of apparent insider trading inside the White House have exploded in recent months. Every time that Trump makes some dramatic geopolitical announcement on Truth Social, there appear to be sizable, suspicious bets placed in the immediate lead-up, accurately predicting his announcement. Only Trump insiders would have that information.

The BBC investigated trade volume data on numerous financial markets, comparing them to some of Trump's "most significant market-moving statements." They discovered a "consistent pattern of spikes just hours, or sometimes minutes, before a social media post or media interview was made public." In other words, Trump is manipulating the markets and exploiting the vast powers of the Oval Office to enrich himself and his cronies. He has turned the White House into a Trump casino — and he's stacking the deck every hand.

Mass prosecutions are the only way out of this institutional crisis. As of right now, with Donald Trump as president, we are no longer a nation of laws. Our government is being run like a mafia racketeering operation and working class Americans are the ones being squeezed. It's not enough to simply vote these criminals out of office. We have to lock them up. Anything less than convictions and imprisonments will give a green light to future Republican administrations to run this exact same playbook.

Please ❤️ and share if you support prosecuting every last one of these crooks!

Holy Hell broke out in Rockland County,NewYork at the town hall meeting of Republican Mike Lawler after some Veterans stood up & told him how they feel about him & Trump! So Lawler decides to have them all kicked out & that made it even worse for him! He finally had to leave!

Fred Rogers was on his way to a dinner in Boston at the home of a PBS executive when he realized his driver, Billy, would be waiting outside in the car the whole evening while everyone else went inside.

Most people would have accepted that without a second thought.

Fred Rogers didn’t.

He invited Billy in to join the dinner.

Later, on the ride back, Fred sat in the front seat beside him, talking like a friend. When Billy mentioned they’d be passing his family’s house, Fred asked if they could stop. What followed was the kind of moment that feels almost foreign now. Fred went inside, met Billy’s family, and before long neighbors began dropping by too. There was conversation, laughter, piano music, and the simple warmth of people gathering together.

Fred and Billy stayed in touch after that night. And years later, when Fred learned Billy was dying in the hospital, he called to say goodbye.

That’s what made Fred Rogers so extraordinary. He didn’t just know how to be kind. He knew how to make people feel seen.

In a world that teaches us to sort human beings by status, wealth, and importance, he moved through life as if none of those invisible hierarchies were real.

And maybe that was his quiet genius.

He never let people become background.

BREAKING: Russia shared satellite images of Prince Sultan US base in Saudi with Iran right before their attack that injured our troops. Ukrainian intel confirms it.

Meanwhile Trump refuse to condemn Russia.

Is this what you voted for?

[Congressman Robert Garcia @RepRobertGarcia]

Last night, Speaker Mike Johnson recessed Congress and sent everyone home after rejecting a bipartisan deal to fund DHS. Republicans and Democrats in the Senate did the right thing, and it’s crazy to reject the deal and recess Congress.

"Trump screwed us."

[Ed Krassenstein @EdKrassen]

BREAKING: This is escalating fast. These latest updates spell doom.

• Saudi Arabia urging U.S. to ramp up attacks — may join the war
• Iran just turned back 2 Chinese state-owned container ships in the Strait of Hormuz — despite China being on the “approved” list
• Tehran now says ONLY ships carrying household goods, cars, clothing, or pharmaceuticals for Iran can pass
• Only ~33% of Iran’s missiles destroyed after 1 month
• Iran still has a “significant” arsenal + recoverable stock
• Drone capability largely intact
• Iran’s Supreme Leader has refused negotiations

Trump screwed us.

[Democratic Wins Media @DemocraticWins]

BREAKING: Millions of protesters in more than 3,000 cities and towns across the country will rise up today to call out President Trump for violating the number 1 premise of America: that we won’t support kings. This is what real power looks like.

@yellow15926 @Hal1030380 @Jimfrombaseball Right there with you. I even catch grief for it ... "why do you care?" ... that type of stuff. Because that's how I was raised and that's how I roll. Good on you for staying true to yourself! 🙏🏻☮️

@el_wip @Jimfrombaseball Oh, gosh. I thought that was Phil playing cards with Yogi in the nursing home at 89.

[Jim Koenigsberger @Jimfrombaseball]

"When Phil Rizzuto became ill toward the end of his life, he was put in an assisted living facility which was about 30 minutes away from where Yogi Berra lived.
And every single day, because teammates were important to him, Yogi would drive there and he would play cards with Phil. And then when Phil would start to fall asleep, Yogi would hold his hand and when Phil would finally go to sleep, that’s when Yogi would leave.
Every day.
That’s what teammates meant to him."

Say what you will about President Biden, but he kept getting shit done like infrastructure, manufacturing, CHIPs Act, the PACT Act, never shut down the government, added millions of jobs, and didn't start any new wars that shut down the Strait of Hormuz.

I sure miss Joe.
We were way better off with him.
