BREAKING: Congressional probe alleges massive fraud in Trump-aligned Freedom 250
And a damning reveal about the Great American State Fair flop

Maybe Vance doesn't know this history because it's in one of the books his administration banned.
The difference between Watergate and now is that back then, Republicans actually did something about a law-breaking president. Today, they only roll over for their cult leader.
Can a president ignore a federal judge?
That's the question at the heart of one of the most important cases in the country right now. The full D.C. Circuit will reconsider whether Judge Boasberg can investigate possible contempt after the administration refused to comply with his order.
The analysis is free to read.

BREAKING: Brand new polling in Ohio shows both Democrats Sherrod Brown and Amy Acton leading in the polls. Let’s send Vivek Ramaswamy’s political career into an early retirement!
🚨🚨🚨A standing ovation for the Washington Post, @wapo . 👏👏👏
You spent a full year investigating whether America's Director of National Intelligence, the woman with access to every classified secret this country has, was being directed by a cult leader who got busted for pyramid schemes in multiple countries.
And you held it until she resigned?
This same cult leader, Chris Butler, has his sect directly tied to QI Group (QNET), a Hong Kong-based company with operations across Asia, Africa, and the Middle East.
So the real question: Which countries now have access to our national intelligence? Which of our spy names are compromised?
And let's not forget, this is the same Tulsi Gabbard who used her position to do a coordinated hit job on Dr. Fauci, a man who spent his entire life saving Americans.
Imagine if this story dropped while she still had her hands on our nation's secrets.
Our press and mainstream media are failing us at every level.

This should be on the front page of every newspaper in America.
Trump’s DOJ just shut down a federal investigation into a coal company owned by Sen. Jim Justice, one of his closest allies, after it racked up tens of thousands of alleged violations for dumping dangerous chemicals into our waterways. A veteran federal prosecutor with 24 years on the job said he had never seen anything like it.
The man who killed the case was Todd Blanche, Trump’s former personal defense lawyer and current Acting Attorney General. This is the same guy who just gave Trump, his family, and his companies permanent immunity from IRS audits. Now Trump wants the Senate to make Blanche’s appointment permanent too.
Equal justice under law was never supposed to come with exceptions for the President’s friends.
The pattern isn’t subtle: protect Trump’s friends, prosecute his critics, and get rewarded with more power. That is corruption, plain and simple. Todd Blanche must not be confirmed.

Iran won and Trump surrendered.
Moscow is burning and Ukraine will win.
Treasonous Tulsi is out.
Trumps name is off the Kennedy Center.
The Reflecting Pool is green.
Donald Trump is riddled with dementia and is rotting before our eyes.
MAGA is in a civil war.
Happy Friday!
It was great reconnecting with our alumni tonight!
Michelle and I will always be grateful for the chance to work side-by-side with so many brilliant, selfless people who believed in something bigger than themselves.
The cost of Trump’s War to taxpayers, like everything else Trump does, continues to go up far above original estimates. The guy who bankrupted multiple business now has an unlimited amount of money to play with thanks to congressional Republicans.
A brand new bridge between Detroit and Canada is finished and ready to open. It would speed up traffic for millions of trucks, cut delays for American businesses, and help the auto industry that employs people in every state. There is just one problem.
Donald Trump won’t let it open.
Here is why.
The family that owns the old bridge stands to lose business when the new one opens. So in January, they gave one million dollars to a pro-Trump super PAC.
Weeks later they met with Trump’s Commerce Secretary.
He called Trump.
Hours after that, Trump announced he would block the new bridge. The opening was set for June 12. It got canceled the day before. The bridge sits there finished and empty.
Now here is the part that should make every taxpayer angry.
Canada paid for the entire bridge.
Every dollar. And the United States already owns half of it for free. Trump is holding up a bridge we got for nothing, to protect a donor who wrote him a check, while picking a fight with our closest ally and biggest trading partner.
This is corruption in plain sight.
A billionaire pays, and the President delivers. American workers and businesses pay the price.
Open the bridge. A government should work for the people, not for whoever writes the biggest check.

BREAKING: HAHA! Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton burst out laughing at the dedication ceremony for the Obama Presidential Center after Michelle brilliantly shades Trump over the Nobel Peace Prize.
This is just too good...
"You were unflappable at every turn, always focused, always calm, always looking at the long view," the former First Lady said to her husband. "How absurd it is to even imagine that you might have buckled under the pressure even once, lashed out in frustration, lost your temper. How absurd it is to imagine that you might have done anything but make our family and this entire country proud."
We can think of another President who regularly loses his temper, buckles under pressure the moment that difficulties arise, and lashes out in frustration on Truth Social daily. There is an infuriating double standard at play. Obama had to always keep his cool to avoid getting labeled with the "angry Black man" racist trope. As an entitled white man, Trump can blow his top whenever he wants and nobody bats an eyelash.
"No, you were too busy. I'm not done, y'all! Not done," Mrs. Obama continued as the crowd roared with approval. "So much to say. You were doing the people's work, rescuing our economy, expanding healthcare, ending a war, ordering the Bin Laden raid, saving an auto industry, winning a peace prize."
She paused and smiled at that point in the speech, giving the audience a chance to cheer. Seated in the wing, Hillary Clinton burst out laughing at the obvious jab and President Obama laughed along with her.
It's well-documented that Donald Trump is absolutely obsessed with the fact that Obama has a Peace Prize while he himself has been denied the distinction. Trump aggressively lobbied in vain for one, cajoling foreign leaders to nominate him.
He was so incensed by the Norwegian Nobel Committee's refusal to award him that he wrote to Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre: "Considering your Country decided not to give me the Nobel Peace Prize for having stopped 8 Wars PLUS, I no longer feel an obligation to think purely of Peace."
He lived up to the implicit threat in that letter by going on to launch a pointless, costly, child-murdering war against Iran that ultimately ended in defeat and surrender for the United States.
And Michelle wasn't done there...
"Keeping us safe from Ebola, regulating the banks, standing up for marriage equality, listening to science, and comforting an entire nation in the face of unspeakable tragedies," she continued, listing more of her husband's accomplishments. "And you did it all with such grace and class and cool that you made the hardest job in the world look like a walk in this beautiful park."
The Ebola bit is another jab at Trump who, with the assistance of RFK Jr. and Elon Musk gutted research and pandemic prevention. This is the most virulently anti-science administration that this country has ever seen.
One thing is certain. The Obamas will have a lasting, radiant legacy in this country. Trump will be reviled by future generations, his name used a byword for incompetence, failure, and corruption.
Please ❤️ and share if you love the Obamas!
BREAKING: In an amazing moment, Barack Obama's close friend and Chair of the Obama Foundation Board, Marty Nesbitt just wore a tan suit to mock Republicans at President Obama's Presidential library opening. This is awesome.
#BREAKING: Psaki: “This week we also learned that despite the #UFC insisting that they will foot the bill for this whole thing, US taxpayers do appear to be subsidizing the event. A spokesperson for Washington DC told ESPN that the city expects to incur somewhere between $10-$12 million in supplemental security costs which will be paid for by a federal fund aka your tax dollars.” 🙄
Negotiating to get what you want = Bad
Spending tens of billions to bomb and kill to accomplish none of your original objectives = strength.
For Hegseth, it’s not really about the result. It’s that he gets to blow things up.
March 9: "We're now totally independent of the Middle East. We don't need their oil."
April 1: "It doesn't really affect us. We have so much oil. We have tremendous oil and gas, much more than we need."
June 17: If I didn't agree to the MOU, we "would run out of reserves at about 4 weeks...we would really run out, and there'll be a time when you wouldn't be able to get it."
