Rep. @PeteAguilar: After weeks of delay, Republicans are putting the reckless reconciliation bill on the House floor. Lets talk about what's in it. A $70B blank check for ICE, and they've already given ICE $140B. Americans are struggling to fill up their gas tanks, buy groceries, and afford health insurance. Yet, Republicans are pouring your tax dollars into an agency that has killed American citizens.

BREAKING📷 A woman donated $1 million to Trump's super PAC. Three weeks later, her son a convicted tax criminal was pardoned. His pardon application literally mentioned her donation.
Her name is Elizabeth Fago. Her son, Paul Walczak, had pleaded guilty to federal tax crimes. The pardon application filed on his behalf explicitly cited his mother's million-dollar donation to MAGA Inc. as a reason he deserved clemency. Trump signed the pardon. Walczak walked free and was relieved of more than $4 million in restitution he owed.
That is one entry on a donor list of 58 people who gave a million dollars or more.
MAGA Inc., Trump's super PAC, has now raised over $305 million since the 2024 election five times more than any presidential super PAC in history at this stage. The Brennan Center called it "completely unprecedented." Ninety-six percent of it came from donors giving $1 million or more. Sixty-two percent from those giving $5 million or more. This is not a grassroots operation. It is a pay-window.
Here's what the donor list actually shows.
https://t.co/s5GJV5zpIa's parent company, Foris Dax, gave $30 million — while it was under SEC investigation for allegedly trading unregistered securities. The SEC investigation was quietly dropped in March 2025, two months after the donation.
The Winklevoss twins gave $1 million — also while their crypto platform Gemini was under SEC investigation. That investigation was dropped in February 2025.
Energy Transfer, the Texas pipeline company, and its CEO Kelcy Warren gave a combined $25 million — while Energy Transfer was actively suing a federal regulatory agency in court.
OpenAI President Greg Brockman and his wife gave $25 million — as the Trump administration was actively shaping AI policy in Silicon Valley's favor.
Then there are the appointments. Benjamin Landa gave $5 million then became Trump's ambassador to Hungary. Kelly Loeffler and her husband gave $5 million she now runs the Small Business Administration. Warren Stephens gave $2 million now ambassador to the United Kingdom. Jared Isaacman gave $2 million now NASA administrator.
And Isabela Herrera, a 25-year-old self-employed financial consultant whose only prior political donation was $20 to Pete Buttigieg in 2020, somehow contributed $3.5 million to MAGA Inc. Her father a Venezuelan billionaire facing federal bribery charges was pardoned by Trump in January 2026. Campaign Legal Center has filed a formal complaint with the FEC alleging she was a straw donor for her father.
This is not dark money. This is public record.
Every dollar, every favor, every pardon. Filed with the FEC. Sitting in plain sight.

[Norman Ornstein @NormOrnstein]

Adam is absolutely right. Warn everybody in as many venues as you can by sharing this picture and saying don’t share it.

[Governor Newsom Press Office @GovPressOffice]

Trump is too emotional to be president

[Mary L Trump @MaryLTrump]

Donald had a temper tantrum on national television and walked out of an interview simply because Kristen Welker presented him with a basic fact.

Note to other journalists: now is the time to pile on. He won't be able to handle it.

[Elizabeth Warren @SenWarren]

Was this an illegal attempt by DOGE to weaponize Social Security to carry out Trump’s cruel immigration agenda? I'm fighting back.

[The Washington Post @washingtonpost]

Breaking news: The Trump administration had plans to classify 2.7 million living people — including some U.S. citizens and lawful residents — as dead as part of its immigration enforcement efforts, according to a former senior Social Security executive. https://t.co/2aBY6bPI4y

[Headquarters @HQNewsNow]

Sen. @ossoff: Trump spent Saturday complaining on the internet. 6 hours, 52 posts. He attacked the Pope, posted his own face on Mount Rushmore and a made up a Trump Peace Prize. He assured an increasingly concerned public he's in excellent health. When he's not posting, he's trying to rob us. He sued the government for $10B, then he settled the suit with himself to create a $1.8B dollar slush fund so he can cut checks to cronies and J6ers.

[Pastors for Children @pastors4txkids]

We know @jamestalarico well.

He is a fine young pastor who shows God's love & peace in #txlege

Anyone who says otherwise is lying.

Breaking God’s commandment not to bear false witness.

@KenPaxtonTX can’t run on moral character.

So he attacks James'.

It's the @GOP way.

[Tea Pain @TeaPainUSA]

Looks like folks are recognizing how uniquely terrible Ken Paxton really is. Good.

[Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex]

Artificial intelligences do not undergo experiences, do not possess a body, do not feel joy or pain, do not mature through relationships, and do not know from within what love, work, friendship or responsibility mean. Nor do they have a moral conscience, since they do not judge good and evil, grasp the ultimate meaning of situations, or bear responsibility for consequences. They may imitate or even simulate, but they do not understand what they produce, for they lack the affective, relational, and spiritual perspective through which human beings grow in wisdom. #MagnificaHumanitas

[Emoluments Clause @Emolclause]

#BREAKING: Talarico: “This is the oldest strategy in the world—divide and conquer. They divide us by party, by race, by gender, by religion, by all this culture war stuff, so we don’t notice that they are picking our pockets, that they are closing our public schools all over Texas, they are gutting our healthcare, raising our premiums for Texans all over the state, and they are raising taxes on all of us while they cut taxes for themselves…Texans see through this game. They realize that we are being pitted against each other with these old, tired culture war fights so that corrupt politicians like #KenPaxton can hold on to power and continue to enrich themselves and their billionaire mega donors.”👊

[Reverend Raphael Warnock @ReverendWarnock]

Some good news today.

South Carolina has chosen NOT to move forward with gerrymandering for the time being.

AND a court has blocked Alabama’s gerrymander.

The fight continues. But these small victories are important.

Keep the faith.

[BrooklynDad_Defiant!☮️ @mmpadellan]

Holy sh*t. Thomas Massie says he’s going to start publicly naming billionaires implicated in the Epstein files because Trump’s DOJ refuses to convict.

More courage than the rest of the GOP has combined.

[James Talarico @jamestalarico]

This is the interview Donald Trump didn’t want you to see.

His FCC refused to air my interview with Stephen Colbert.

Trump is worried we’re about to flip Texas.

[Adam Kinzinger (Slava Ukraini) 🇺🇸🇺🇦 @AdamKinzinger]

There is no way the republicans would be anything less that outraged if Obama had taken almost $2 billion of taxpayer dollars and given it to people he pardoned for trying to steal an election. Every republican in congress who doesn’t speak up and prevent this is complicit

[The Lincoln Project @ProjectLincoln]

This is all because @MassieforKY fought so hard to release the Epstein Files that Trump still wants hidden from you all, by the way.

[BrooklynDad_Defiant!☮️ @mmpadellan]

Not only are we getting squeezed at the gas pump and grocery store, but trump just set up a $1.8 BILLION slush fund using OUR TAXPAYER FUNDS to pay off scumbags like the January 6th attackers and his rich buddies.

CONGRESS: ARE YOU GOING TO DO SOMETHING?

[Alex Vindman 🇺🇸 @AVindman]

I just spoke to hundreds of Floridians on fixed incomes.

They’re struggling with skyrocketing grocery, insurance, and health care costs — and now gas is over $5 a gallon.

Unlike Ashley Moody, I’ll lower your costs.

[Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex]

What kind of world are we leaving behind? Unfortunately, it is a world distorted by war and war-like language. This pollution of reason comes from the geopolitical sphere and invades every social relationship. Any simplification that creates enemies must be corrected, especially in universities, through complexity of thought and wise exercise of memory.
