Garcia: So, to be clear, we have a president that is $2 billion richer just from this last year. We have a son whose wedding is being paid for by rich Russians and oligarchs that have connections to Putin. We have Jared Kushner, who got $2 billion for his investment firm from the Saudis while also doing diplomacy in the Middle East.
We have the Kushners who are trying to buy private islands and selling all sorts of merchandise that’s being promoted, oftentimes through government resources. We also have, of course, this insane amount of stock trading that the president himself is doing to enrich himself and his family.
And, of course, the sons sitting on boards of private companies that are then getting contracts from the federal government. The amount of corruption is unprecedented. And not only are they lining their pockets, they’re stealing the wealth of hardworking Americans, they’re stealing the hard-earned labor and wealth of working-class people, and then funneling that money to themselves and to the rich donors and large corporations and CEOs across this country.
As they get richer, costs go up for the American people. And we know that Republicans in the House and in the Senate are complicit by not calling out this corruption.
Donald Trump, Marco Rubio and anyone else in leadership that decided that it was okay to grab Afghan interpreters who stood by our sides in combat and deport them to gulags in Africa is a damn traitor that has turned their backs on the very people that we relied on in combat.
Without these interpreters it would have been impossible for us to accomplish our mission and communicate with the people. I had no air support where I was most of the time. There was only 4 of us on my team, me, my NCO, my interpreter and a mechanic. I had 8 Afghan police stations that I was responsible for providing equipment for to defend themselves against the Taliban. What do you think would’ve happened if we had no means to communicate with the Afghan police?????
This entire administration is criminal. These people risked their lives for us. They are disappearing these folks to third world countries. The cruelty is unacceptable. When this nightmare ends, this entire corrupt administration must be held accountability. There is nothing patriotic about this.
Hunter Biden calls out the double standard in how the media, and even Democrats scrutinized Joe Biden’s age and mental fitness, while the same scrutiny doesn’t apply to Trump.
“At 81, my dad stood out in the sun, shook hands with a thousand cadets, and handed out their diplomas. He turns around, trips over a sandbag, and that’s all the media plays. Meanwhile, Trump is falling asleep with his cabinet behind him.”
As a Retired US Army paratrooper, pictures like these hit hard. Trump never had the courage to pick up a rifle and man a post when he was called to serve.
Yet he has the nerve to promote AI pictures like this showing him wearing things like Parachutist badges, and rows of ribbons he never had to courage to obtain. Anyone who has ever served should be pissed at garbage like this.
His father paid a doctor’s note so he wouldn't have to serve. But remember that for every one of the draft deferments, someone else had to go in his place.
A pure disgrace.
America is approaching $40 TRILLION in debt.
So ask the question every taxpayer deserves answered:
WHAT DID WE GET FOR IT?
No nationwide high-speed rail.
No universal healthcare.
No tuition-free public college or trade school.
No universal childcare.
Aging roads, bridges, water systems and power grids.
We spent TRILLIONS.
Yet somehow, the richest nation in human history keeps telling its own people that the basics are “too expensive.”
America doesn’t have a shortage of money.
America has a crisis of PRIORITIES.
A few of Karoline Leavitt’s greatest hits: LIES
1. “The U.S. was about to spend $50 million on condoms for Gaza.
2. “The deadly D.C. aircraft collision was the result of DEI hiring.
3. “The Epstein files are a “Democratic hoax.”
4. “The Democratic Party’s constituency is “Hamas terrorists, illegal aliens, and violent criminals.”
5. “Trump’s tax and spending bill “does not add to the deficit.”
6. “Tariffs are a tax cut for the American people.”
At some point, “press secretary” becomes an awfully generous job title.
Todd Blanche put Ghislaine Maxwell in a minimum security prison.
Todd Blanche illegally exposed Epstein's victims, including nude pictures.
Todd Blanche protected the rapists who paid to rape children.
Todd Blanche was fine with Donald Trump pardoning Juan Orlando Hernández, a convicted Cartel boss and drug trafficker.
Todd Blanche was fine with the pardon of Changpeng Zhao who laundered money for human traffickers and drug cartels.
Todd Blanche was fine with sending Kilmar Armando Ábrego García to die in prison, even though he'd never been convicted of a crime.
Todd Blanche tried to prosecute Abrego García on fabricated charges to save Trump the embarrassment.
Todd Blanche was willing to let an actual human trafficker out of prison early to "testify" against Abrego García.
Todd Blanche signed off on a deal that would allow Donald Trump and his family immunity from tax fraud after they corruptly made billions of dollars off of Trump's Presidential powers, selling pardons and policy to whoever would pay for them.
Todd Blanche was, and still considers himself to be, Donald Trump's personal attorney.
Todd Blanche was willing to send David Hearn to prison for a crime that not only did Hearn not commit, but a crime that wasn't even committed, all to not make Donald Trump look bad.
Any one of those things would be disqualifying for any other AG nominee, but not for this one.
But now, Todd Blanche is the Attorney General of the United States.
And the issue here isn't just the things he has done, but what he has shown himself willing to do.
If the past is prologue, how can we trust that this man, entrusted with the protection of the rule of law, won't just openly flay it?
Every Senator who voted to confirm him is a shameless, vile, disgusting, America-hating, antipatriotic bag of fermented dog vomit. Shame on every last one of them.
$4 BILLION. That’s how much the Trump Administration has now spent paying companies to cancel offshore wind projects that would have lowered your electric bill.
Yes, you heard that right: they are PAYING to keep more energy off the grid and your bills higher.
The latest deal hands a foreign energy company $1.2 billion to abandon offshore wind projects off New York, California, and Louisiana.
And we've seen them pull this scam before. They paid a company nearly $1 billion to invest in gas projects, and it turned out the company was already planning to make those investments anyway. Trump got nothing for you in return.
He hates wind power so much that he has now spent nearly $4 billion of your money making it disappear.
Twelve leases canceled, billions of taxpayer dollars gone, and power for millions of homes wiped away just like that.
You’re paying for this twice: once when the government spends your tax dollars to block the cheapest energy available, and again on your electric bill when utilities have no choice but to keep running expensive coal instead.

.@JamesTalarico: 50 years ago, a corporate lawyer named Lewis Powell circulated a memo around DC — a blueprint for how corporations could amass political power, reverse the gains of the Great Society and the New Deal, and rig the system for themselves.
The Powell memo outlined a strategy. Unite corporate special interests, privilege corporate perspectives in the media, appoint sympathetic judges to the court, and buy politicians in both political parties.
And it worked. Republicans and some Democrats sold the false gospel of trickle-down economics. Trickle-down economics is not a theory, it is theft.
Since the late 1970s, mega donors and corporate special interests have been buying politicians in both political parties. And then those politicians turned around and rigged the economy to benefit their wealthy donors at our expense.
We have an affordability crisis because we have a corruption crisis.
Holy shit I’m seriously over hearing “but, but, but Hunter Biden” 🙄🙄🙄 Let’s talk about the Trump boys. The amount of $$$ the Trump family is making off this current presidency is absolutely MIND BLOWING 🤯 https://t.co/bqUMJYllH9
🚨BREAKING: Senator Josh Hawley says “innocent people don’t plead the Fifth” when describing Dr. Fauci’s testimony.
Here’s the video of Donald Trump pleading the Fifth 400 times during his civil fraud trial.
💣💣💣 Here’s an extended cut of Trump's epic bomb at the White House Correspondents' Dinner last night.
Words can’t describe what you’re about to watch 😶
