#BREAKING: Psaki: “Last night, a local TV news station in Florida broke a story that just absolutely floored me. CBS News Miami obtained a sealed grand jury report…that detailed how Florida governor Ron Desantis’ administration allegedly diverted $10 million from a settlement that was supposed to give poor kids healthcare, and directed that money through a non profit affiliated with the governor’s wife, and then into political action committees aligned with Desantis himself, as well as to the Florida Republican Party, and then somehow a bunch of the people involved in making that happen, all wind up getting huge promotions from Governor Desantis.” 🙄

It’s been almost 90 days since the American people have seen or heard from Mitch McConnell.

We’re still paying his salary.

So Barron Trump's net worth increased by $150 million in just one year. Trump was asked how this happened over the weekend. He said, "it's none of your business."
Republicans tried to impeach Biden because Hunter sold some paintings for $50,000. Trump's kids are now scamming BILLIONS and Republicans just shrug it off like it's no biggie.

Martha Stewart went to prison for $45,673 worth of insider trading.

Barron is up $150,000,000 since daddy got back into office.

We live in very strange times.

The oldest president in the US history is sleeping, while his Secretary of Health is shaking uncontrollably, all while pushing their conspiracies about vaccines.

The maximum a person can donate to a federal candidate is $3500.

If you donated that max to every candidate on the 2026 ballot, you could only spend $1,662,500.

The top 50 mega-donors have already poured more than $1.3 billion into the 2026 midterms.

Overturn Citizens United.

[Captain Mark Kelly @CaptMarkKelly]

The White House decided there was a threat so great that Donald Trump was secretly moved to another plane but they never told the passengers on Air Force One. Cowards look out for themselves. Leaders look out for their people.

MacFarlane: Some national park service workers are so alarmed, they leaked internal spreadsheets that show where the money is going. 

We added the numbers together and found for the white house grounds for the vanity projects, the beautification and the needed upgrades: They've set aside $323 million for this year…

$323 million compared to $7 million for the white house in 2024. That's a 5,000% increase. 

National mall has a ten fold increase from 2024 for projects that are the president's priority. 

Doesn't mean the money is directly being starved out of Yosemite, Yellowstone, Mount Zion, Grand Canyon. But we checked those parks all have significantly less funding allotted for them this year than they did two years ago, and there's a $30 billion backlog of deferred maintenance

They are going to have to shortchange important projects throughout America to marshal donated money or taxpayer money on things like a reflecting pool, a helipad, a ballroom, and other vanity projects.

The news story about Donald Trump being totally desperate for immunity from tax fraud and the news story about Donald Trump being kicked to the curb by Capitol One for widespread money laundering, are RELATED.

[Rep. Mike Levin @RepMikeLevin]

Capital One says it shut down roughly 385 Trump-linked bank accounts after its financial-crimes team flagged them for money-laundering concerns.

That should be a massive story all by itself.

Trump responded by suing the bank and claiming political persecution. And Capital One is not the only bank his businesses are suing over closed accounts.

But now Trump controls the federal agencies that regulate those banks, and his Administration is going after the very banking practices at the center of his private company’s lawsuits.

Think about what is happening here:

Trump’s business runs into serious problems with major banks. Trump becomes President. Suddenly, the federal government starts working to change the rules in ways that could benefit Trump’s business.

The presidency is supposed to serve the American people, not function as the enforcement arm of the Trump Organization.

Welp. It’s happening.

Bulldozers and heavy equipment arrived in Big Bend National Park today. The most rugged, pristine lands in the lower 48. Trump’s border wall is coming. CBP is refusing to inform residents, park superintendents, landowners, business owners, or Texas legislators what is happening. What we know is that they are now paving new roads where there were none, erecting fencing and walls to protect those roads, and then planning to install technology and border patrol agents in an area where close to zero people ever cross the border.

Ironically, depressingly, they will be spending billions of dollars to destroy this pristine American land while literally making it easier to access, which means easier for coyotes and border crossers to actually traverse the region if they wanted to. Before this, there were no roads, just desserts, cliffs, and cacti, which made it all but impassable.

A few miles upstream, the first border barriers the administration just erected were washed away in the first flood of the season — not even a bad one — but hundreds of millions of dollars wasted, literally floating down the Rio Grande. A few miles downstream, near Eagle Pass, razor wire and debris are washing up ashore from the first floods there, making this critical water source inaccessible for Texans or any wildlife enthusiasts.

Right now, as we speak, $4 billion is flowing to contractors in Trump’s orbit to cut Texans, including me and my family, off from the most critical water source in the state. All for what? Big Bend is 25% of the patrolled southwest border and accounts for less than 1% of all border crossings. Border towns, businesses, tourism — all about to be destroyed. Nevermind the irreversible wildlife damage, the feds stealing land from private citizens via eminent domain, and all the money wasted that could go to actual solutions to secure the border or support these communities.

Ever since I first visited my family here when I was 13 years old I wanted to make a life in West Texas. Three years ago, after so much hard work and planning, I spent my savings on building a home there. One I hoped my son would inherit. A home in one of the most beautiful, rugged, untouched, places in the country. Also one of the safest.

Now, everything that makes this special place special is being upended — for an illogical, wasteful, stupid plan that won't work and won't help the country.

A genuine gut punch. So depressing.

And just like that, the news about Capital-One closing hundreds of Donald Trump’s accounts, due to concerns over possible money laundering, is nowhere to be seen again.

[The Lincoln Project @ProjectLincoln]

Republicans have the majority in the Senate and House and they're telling you they cannot rein Trump in, so stop giving them power. They're telling you they refuse to use it.

[Headquarters @HQNewsNow]

.@SenWhitehouse: Let's not forget that there is an ongoing proceeding in Florida in federal court with an open question whether Todd Blanche committed a fraud upon the court. It's probably the worst thing you can accuse someone of in a court proceeding. It means you abused the process of the court to accomplish an unjust and wrongful result. It is so bad that in the history of the Department of Justice, no senior official has ever been even accused of a fraud upon the court. And we're advancing this guy before that question is settled.

[The Washington Post @washingtonpost]

A group of Democratic lawmakers have asked the Pentagon’s watchdog to open an investigation after The Post revealed that 15 companies with investment from President Trump’s sons have garnered $3.2 billion in federal contracts, investments and loans. https://t.co/2rGxZHIg83

The IRS audits every president. It can audit you. It no longer audits Trump -- because he used his control of the government to exempt himself. Immunity no other American has. https://t.co/bIjVziEpmT

@AmoneyResists This is outrageous. When will they day come that we jail these people and make them give all the money back?!?
