🚨NEW: Trump’s spiritual advisor is now free after only 6 months in prison for sexually abusing a 12 year old girl.

[Elizabeth Warren @ewarren]

Trump sued his own IRS.

Settled with his own government.

Secured a $1.8 billion slush fund to siphon toward his allies.

Blocked the IRS audits against himself and his family. 

This is corruption in plain sight.

[Chris Murphy 🟧 @ChrisMurphyCT]

Morning everyone.

Do you know that your President just exempted himself, his family, and all his family's companies from our tax laws?

You are subject to the law. Now he is not.

No one should not pretend this is okay or normal. It's an ongoing constitutional crisis.

[Spencer Hakimian @SpencerHakimian]

Trump was just given a blanket pardon from the IRS for any past, present, or future tax crimes.

[Chris Murphy 🟧 @ChrisMurphyCT]

This is outright theft.

Trump is stealing $1.7 BILLION of your money to set up a totally unprecedented, first-in-American-history political slush fund that he can use to dole out cash to win loyalty and favors for him and his family.

25TH AMENDMENT NOW ✊✊✊

[Brian Allen @allenanalysis]

BREAKING: The Trump DOJ is dropping federal criminal fraud charges against an Indian billionaire.

The reason:

He hired one of Trump’s personal lawyers.

Then promised to invest $10 billion in America.

The same DOJ that indicted James Comey twice over seashells.

One standard for the connected.

Another for everyone else.

[Brian Allen @allenanalysis]

Trump took $59 million from 590,000 Americans for a phone that may never exist.

Then quietly updated the terms:

“No guarantee a phone will be produced or sold.”

The crypto coin. The sneakers. The Bible. The gold card. The ballroom. The phone.

Every single time the same pattern.

Take the money. Change the terms. Walk away.

Questions from Rep. Crow on Hegseth’s very close relationship with Tim Parlatore

[The Tennessee Holler @TheTNHoller]

“Are you concerned about insider trading on these prediction markets re: the war?”

TRUMP: “The world is a casino. It is what it is.” 🤷🏼

And there you have it, folks!

[James Tate @JamesTate121]

A new watchdog report from the Government Accountability Oversight Project alleges that President Donald Trump directed $3 billion in federal funds toward his own properties and political allies. The report claims this was achieved through a series of classified security agreements and no-bid contracts authorized during his final year in office. Investigators suggest that emergency national security designations allowed these properties to receive federal payments at rates significantly higher than market value.
The most substantial allegation involves a $1.2 billion security agreement at Mar-a-Lago, an amount that reportedly exceeds the security budget of any private residence in U.S. history. While the Trump legal team has dismissed these findings as a partisan attack, federal investigators are currently reviewing the data. If verified, this would represent the largest alleged self-dealing scheme by a president in the history of the United States.
Critics have noted that the funds in question were drawn from the national treasury, which traditionally supports essential services such as veterans' hospitals and disaster relief. While no formal charges have been filed, the scale of the alleged diverted funds has sparked intense debate over executive accountability. The Government Accountability Office has yet to issue a formal comment on the specific findings of the report.

The PBS NewsHour has documented the Trump family's unprecedented conflicts of interest. Jared Kushner, a 'volunteer' with no official position, has $6 billion in assets from Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and Qatar-the same governments he is negotiating with on Middle East peace. Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump have invested in drone companies that are now competing for Pentagon contracts in the war their father started.

Forbes estimated that Eric and Don Jr., they were worth about $40, $50 million each before the 2024 election. About a year later, Eric at $400 million and Donald Trump Jr. at about $300 million.

They're using war and diplomacy to enrich themselves

DC police responding to a domestic assault call documented that Rep. Cory Mills, on a phone call with the victim, instructed her to lie about where her bruises came from. Officers listened.

They still sent an arrest warrant. Trump’s US Attorney for DC, Ed Martin — who calls himself “President Trump’s lawyer” — refused to sign it.

A supervisor reclassified the assault as a family disturbance. The arresting officer told the victim on body cam: “I have bosses making this into a family disturbance instead of an actual domestic assault.”

MPD internal affairs opened an investigation into its own handling of the case. The criminal probe was later closed. The House Ethics Committee investigation remains open.

BREAKING: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth just steamrolled the Army’s own discipline process — lifting the suspension of Apache crews who buzzed Kid Rock’s house and ordering zero punishment, zero investigation… just hours after the Army grounded them for a formal probe.[1][2][3][4][5]

Let that sink in.

The U.S. Army said: “This needs investigating.”
Hegseth said: “Absolutely not. Move along.”

This isn’t leadership. It’s political favoritism overriding military accountability in real time.

If this were some random civilian neighborhood, you’d get hearings, reports, consequences.

But it’s Kid Rock?
Case closed. No questions asked.

That’s the standard now:
Rules for everyone else. Immunity for the connected.

Ossoff: Was it the assessment of the intelligence community that there was an imminent nuclear threat posed by the Iranian regime?

Gabbard: The only person who can determine what is and is not an imminent threat is the president. It is not the intelligence community's responsibility to determine what is and is not an imminent threat.

Ossoff: It is precisely your responsibility. This is the worldwide threats hearing where, as you noted in your opening testimony quote, you represent the ic's assessment of threats.

[Jake Scott, MD @jakescottMD]

“Iranians who think they’re going to live.”

That’s not a military objective. That’s genocidal language - a direct threat to kill indiscriminately. Secretary Hegseth is unhinged and needs to be stopped.

Q: Have you fired or disciplined the staffer who posted the video from your account that included the Obamas?

Trump: No I haven't.

[FactPost @factpostnews]

Three-time Trump voter: I voted for Trump, but I really want to apologize. I'm looking at this awful picture of the Obamas. What an embarrassment to our country. All this man does is tell lies. He is not worthy of the presidency. He takes bribes blatantly, and now he's being a racist blatantly. He's pathetic as a president, and I just want to apologize to everybody in the country for supporting this rotten, rotten man.

[Ed Krassenstein @EdKrassen]

Trump’s ICE is now drive-by pepper spraying peaceful protesters in their faces on the side of the road in Phoenix, Arizona just for the fun of it.

This isn’t legal! This is not the America both my grandfathers fought in WWII to protect.

This is the very fascism that they fought against.
