I hope everyone had a great 4th of July. I know @realDonaldTrump and family did.
250 years ago we declared independence from a king who ran the colonies as a family business. In just 18 months the Trumps have made King George look like an amateur.
A $620 million Pentagon loan, the largest in the program’s history, to a company Don Jr.’s firm bought into three months before.
An Air Force drone contract to a startup the princelings took public through a golf course company they own a piece of.
The Army’s largest drone motor order ever, to a company where Don Jr. sits on the board and holds millions in stock.
A $24 million Pentagon robotics contract to the company that employs Eric as Chief Strategy Advisor.
A stake in the largest undeveloped tungsten deposit on earth, in Kazakhstan, backed by $1.6 billion in US government support.
Jared’s fund seeded with $2 billion from the Saudi crown prince, now $6.2 billion, 99% of it foreign money from Gulf governments. Over $110 million in fees collected from the Saudis alone. He negotiates American foreign policy with the governments that pay him.
$2.3 billion from crypto ventures their father regulates. More than a million people bought in and lost $2.3 billion. The money didn’t grow. It simply moved from the subjects pockets to the crown’s coffers.
And the next one is already drafted. A proposed ATF rule that will allow guns to be shipped straight to your front door. The government’s own estimate is 3.3 million home gun deliveries a year. Don Jr. sits on the board of the online gun megastore built to cash in. He holds 300,000 shares.
And that’s only the fraction they’ve allowed us to see. Not one subpoena served. Not one search executed. Why hide anything when you own the investigators?
Me? They searched a laptop for six years. Federal prosecutors. Grand juries. Subpoena power. Congressional hearings. They found nothing. I made about $200k a year selling paintings when my Dad was President, and they made my paintings part of an impeachment inquiry.
For six years they’ve asked Where’s Hunter? What about the laptop?
Wrong questions. The right one is 250 years old. Does America belong to a family?
They’ve given their answer. Long live the King.
One phone call from President Trump to his buddy Gianni Infantino and — boom — FIFA overturns a World Cup red card suspension for the first time in tournament history so U.S. star Folarin Balogun can play Belgium tomorrow.
Belgium is already furious and “astonished.” They should be. Contest this rigged nonsense publicly all day today and all day tomorrow.
The World Cup on American soil just became a Trump family business. So much for credibility, fairness, or rules. This stinks of corruption. ⚽📞🇺🇸
An active-duty member of the United States military stood on the steps of the Capitol, in uniform, and called for the impeachment, conviction, and removal of Donald Trump. He was arrested.
He didn’t stumble into this. He knew exactly what he was doing.
Under Department of Defense rules and the Uniform Code of Military Justice, active-duty service members are heavily restricted from engaging in partisan political activity, especially in uniform. Depending on how this is charged, he could be facing violations like Article 92 (failure to obey orders or regulations), and for officers, even Article 88 (contempt toward officials). That’s not a slap on the wrist, that’s career-ending territory. Court-martial, loss of rank, forfeited pay, even prison time are all on the table.
He risked everything: his career, his pension, his freedom, and the future he built inside the military.
And he did it anyway.
You don’t have to agree with what he said to recognize what it took to say it. Real courage isn’t reserved for safe opinions or popular moments. It shows up when the cost is clear, and you move forward anyway.
The military demands discipline and neutrality for a reason. But history is full of moments where individuals inside institutions decided that staying silent was the greater violation.
That tension, between duty to the system and duty to conscience, is where this story lives.
Maybe you think he crossed a line. Maybe you think he drew one.
But let’s not pretend this was casual. This was deliberate. This was informed. This was someone fully aware of the consequences choosing to act anyway.
Time will decide how this moment is remembered. It always does.
But one thing is undeniable: he knew the price, and he spoke anyway. VIA!~~~ Melinda Fulton
To everyone celebrating the first flight on Qatar Force One today, understand what you are actually applauding.
A foreign government handed the sitting President of the United States a $400 million plane. American taxpayers then paid to retrofit it, with an estimated cost of at least another $400 million (some estimates far higher), for security and communications work in a Texas hangar since last September.
When Trump leaves office, the plane does not stay with the government. Ownership transfers to his presidential library foundation. In other words, he keeps it.
You are being asked to treat pure corruption as normal, to shrug at a President personally profiting from a foreign gift the taxpayers paid to upgrade.
In any other administration this would be the scandal that ends a presidency.
With Trump, it’s Wednesday.

🚨 Hunter Biden didn’t receive trademarks for voting machines, body bags, and caskets from China — Ivanka Trump did.
Hunter Biden didn’t get $100 million for her charity from Saudi Arabia — Ivanka Trump did.
Hunter Biden never worked in the White House — Ivanka Trump did.
Thumbs up 👍 if you think the Trump family is the real crime family.
Erika is using the same tired propaganda frame: elites pretending the fight is blue-collar America versus cultural snobs, "the left", while elite-owned platforms and politically connected corporations monetize the whole thing.
No one is saying the White House should be an untouchable shrine reserved for political insiders.
The White House should be public, accountable, civic, and dignified.
That is not what this was.
This was not “the People’s House” being returned to the people.
It was the People’s House being converted into a content set.
A UFC cage in front of the White House.
Military flyover overhead.
Flag saturation.
Paid streaming distribution.
Sponsor branding.
Official amplification.
Trump mythology.
Corporate beneficiaries.
Then the public is told: if you object, you hate seeing ordinary Americans included.
No.
The public was not given ownership.
The public was given spectacle.
The public supplied the building, the symbolism, the security envelope, the military aura, and the legitimacy.
Private actors captured the content, branding, audience, money, and political halo.
That is not democratizing the White House.
That is privatizing public symbolism and calling it populism.
The trick is to dress elite capture in blue-collar aesthetics, then accuse critics of hating the working class.
But working-class people are not props.
“The People’s House” does not mean the president gets to turn it into ad inventory for his allies.
It means the house belongs to the public, not the court.
America is tired of the “the Left” framing.
That is the scam.
Elites divide W-2 workers into camps, then tell each side the other side is the enemy while power keeps concentrating upward.
Blue-collar versus laptop class.
Real America versus fake America.
Patriots versus elites.
Working class versus “the Left.”
Meanwhile, the same billionaire class owns the platforms, sponsors the spectacle, captures the policy, monetizes the attention, and uses public symbols as brand assets.
This is not populism.
It is elite power wearing blue-collar camouflage.
The White House was not returned to the people.
The people were turned into an audience.
BREAKING: Scott Pelley Just Made A Pretty Stunning Allegation.
According to Pelley, CBS leadership wanted a story about the killing of ICE protester Renée Good changed to better match Trump's version of events.
Pelley says he was told management wanted protesters portrayed as more violent and wanted Good described as driving toward the officer who shot her. He says the video evidence showed otherwise.
Then came the admission.
"There was a thumb on the scale for the president's version of events."
A veteran journalist with 37 years at CBS is alleging political pressure was applied to change the facts of a story.
That's a remarkable accusation.
Her still being on this little press tour to grift for donations almost a year after Charlie’s death makes me believe the rumor that his parents got custody of the kids even more. It’s very telling that not a single one of his relatives have made a public appearance since his death. Not even his parents. They’re not going to the White House to meet Trump or hang out at MAGA events. They grieve in private like normal people while she’s soaked up every ounce of publicity that she can get. What an odd situation. Seems like his family wants to separate themselves from her.
Jalen Hurts made the playoffs and had a career high in passing TDs while playing with a teammate who was arguably throwing games. The fact that it’s even arguable is a disgrace. AJ Brown should be ashamed of himself. Hurts dealt with AJ and Patullo and never pointed the finger. Winner.
BREAKING: Leader Jeffries publicly exposes how Trump BRIBED his way into stealing blue seats by offering the Florida Republican state House Speaker a cushy new job!
President Trump just quietly announced that Florida man Daniel Perez was just given the job of Ambassador to Brazil, with little fanfare.
But future Speaker Hakeem Jeffries recognized at once what was happening – and took to Twitter to call them out.
Daniel Perez isn’t just anybody. He’s the Florida Republican House Speaker who just violated his own state’s constitution in order to pass wildly racist gerrymanders and give Trump the stolen red seats he wanted – and now he’s getting his reward.
“There it is.”
“The Florida House Speaker traded a gerrymandered congressional map in the middle of the decade for an Ambassadorship.”
“The culture of corruption is happening in plain sight. Remember in November,” wrote Jeffries.
While it’s not particularly surprising at this point, it is still shocking in its brazenness. Donald Trump is tearing our democracy apart at the seams, replacing it with a pay-for-play network of corruption, graft, and bribery.
The only way we can possibly stop him is to take back control of the House and Senate, put Speaker Jeffries back in charge, and start holding these crooks accountable – one by one.
Under Joe Biden and Kamala Harris, Black unemployment reached its lowest level ever recorded in history. Now under trump, our voting rights are under attack, he’s ordered museums to change the way they cover slavery, he orchestrated the largest mass firing of Black workers in history, and has drastically cut funding to HBCUs. He is leading and encouraging a war against our community.
Uh Oh: Giants QB Jaxson Dart has been EXPOSED by football fans after liking multiple Donald Trump posts.
Jaxson's liked posts include promotion of mass deportation and anti-radical gender and racial ideology.
Dart has been following President Trump and liking his posts on Instagram since 2023.
😳😳😳
I find it interesting that Trump supporters have never seen these videos. They claim there is no footage of that day. 😳 I watched it in real time on TV when it was happening, just like Trump.
1. FYI, the footage is all over the internet.
2. You can CLEARLY see them breaking windows. The law says that’s breaking and entering.
3. I’ve been to the Capitol, you have to go through security to enter. You don’t enter through broken windows. That’s just a fact.
Not enough people are talking about this.
A Florida airport was renamed after Donald Trump. He walked away with the trademark, the licensing rights, and a deal that lets him profit off every piece of merchandise sold there.
But the story of how he got it is even worse.
County staff told commissioners that rejecting the name change would put state transportation funding at risk. DeSantis has already removed state attorneys and school board members who dared to cross him. That is the reality the Democratic commissioner who cast the deciding vote was living in when she made her choice: hand Donald Trump control of a public airport or watch Florida Republicans strip funding from the very people she was elected to represent.
That is absolutely insane.
Florida Republicans handed Trump a money machine and called it a naming rights deal, and the people of Palm Beach County never got a say in any of it.

BREAKING: Trump FREAKS OUT over backlash to his $1.8 billion slush fund for insurrectionists and pedophiles — says you should be happy he's not taking all of the money for himself!
This man's warped mind is beyond saving...
"I gave up a lot of money in allowing the just announced Anti-Weaponization Fund to go forward," the convicted felon wrote on Truth Social. "I could have settled my case, including the illegal release of my Tax Returns and the equally illegal BREAK IN of Mar-a-Lago, for an absolute fortune."
"Instead, I am helping others, who were so badly abused by an evil, corrupt, and weaponized Biden Administration, receive, at long last, JUSTICE! President DJT" Trump added.
The rank criminality on display here boggles the mind. Trump was not entitled to an "absolute fortune," but he was planning a heist of the public treasury. He sued the IRS — which he controls as head of the Executive Branch — for a staggering $10 billion over the leak of his tax returns. Before he broke that precedent, no President had ever sued the U.S. government.
The corruption is blatant. Trump sued his own government and controlled both sides of the litigation through his minions. He then "settled" with himself to create a $1.776 billion slush fund for MAGA loyalists and January 6th insurrectionists, while also barring the IRS from filing claims or properly reviewing the taxes of Trump, his family, or his companies in the future.
We shouldn't be grateful that he didn't seize a fortune for himself, we should be outraged that he's stealing our money to give to his pardoned insurrectionists, some of whom went on to molest children after he freed them. These are monsters, sexual predators, and traitors. They belong in prison, not cashing checks.
Thankfully, pushback against the fund is spreading. The American people are incensed that Trump would do this while most of us can barely afford gas and groceries thanks to his pointless Iran War. Even Republicans are balking at the idea of supporting such shameless theft with the midterms coming up. We must keep up the pressure!
Please ❤️ and share to demand that Congress block the slush fund!
BREAKING: Rep. Nancy Mace’s latest MAGA-pandering proposal would inadvertently wind up kicking Ted Cruz, Dan Crenshaw, and several other Republicans out of Congress.
Nancy Mace has done it again.
The South Carolina congresswoman announced this week that she's introducing a constitutional amendment to bar anyone not born on American soil — including naturalized citizens — from serving in Congress, as federal judges, or as Senate-confirmed officers. She named Democratic Reps. Ilhan Omar, Pramila Jayapal, and Shri Thanedar as her targets, accusing them of having loyalties that aren't to America.
There's just one spectacular problem. Mace apparently didn't check the roster of her own party before announcing this.
Her amendment would immediately disqualify Republican Senator Ted Cruz, who was born in Calgary, Canada. It would boot Senator Bernie Moreno, born in Colombia. It would remove House Republicans Juan Ciscomani of Arizona, born in Mexico; Young Kim of California, born in South Korea; and Dan Crenshaw of Texas, born in Scotland — along with several other Republican lawmakers.
Ted Cruz. Gone. Dan Crenshaw. Gone. Multiple Republican House members. Gone.
Unsurprisingly, Mace's office did not respond to requests for comment.
"For too long we have allowed foreign-born members to hold seats in this government while making clear they are America last, not America first," she wrote on X, apparently unaware she was describing her own Senate colleague from Texas.
This is the same Nancy Mace who has demanded a congressional investigation into Corey Lewandowski's alleged affair with Kristi Noem, a great idea, but not exactly in line with her party. The same Nancy Mace who has repeatedly sought attention with incendiary proposals that go nowhere. The same Nancy Mace who once dressed as a Founding Father at the State of the Union.
To be clear: the amendment has essentially zero chance of passing. Constitutional amendments require two-thirds support in both chambers and ratification by three-quarters of states. This is a press release with a legislative number attached to it.
But it does reveal something important about this strain of MAGA politics: the xenophobia is so reflexive, so performative, and so shallow that its own authors can't be bothered to think it through for five minutes before announcing it to the world.
Ted Cruz was unavailable for comment. Presumably because he was born in Canada, eh.
Please like and share Nancy Mace’s poorly thought-out proposal everywhere to spread the news.
Abraham Lincoln got shot in the head and still managed to keep the country together. Franklin Roosevelt ran the entire Second World War from a wheelchair. Eisenhower defeated Hitler and then, just to stay busy, built 48,000 miles of motorway. Kennedy looked at the moon, said “we’ll have that,” and inside a decade they did. Reagan stared down the Soviet Union until it simply gave up and went home.
Two hundred and fifty years. Forty-six men. Men who stormed beaches, split atoms, faced down nuclear annihilation over breakfast and then filed sensible paperwork about it afterward.
And then, after all of that, the entire accumulated weight of American history, the most consequential democratic experiment the world has ever seen, produced this.
A television review.
No Mars landing. No cure for cancer. No Soviet empire dissolved before lunch. Just a man in the White House, in the year 2026, informing the internet that a CBS chat show host had no talent.
That is what 250 years of American greatness built. America should be deeply, permanently ashamed of itself.

Keep posting this so people don’t forget how truly bad this event was.
Don’t let people gaslight you into thinking it was peaceful and worthy of 1500+ pardons and slush fund payoffs.
When Eric Trump tried to lie and claim his family doesn't trade individual stocks, Rep. Don Beyer wasn't having it.
He publicly posted the actual 113-page financial disclosure, exposing 15 separate transactions worth millions of dollars—complete with Donald Trump's own signature. We have the receipts. Dive in: https://t.co/YZbOhYf4RB
