Watchdog group Public Citizen found that White House ballroom donors won more than $50 billion in government contracts after giving to the project. One of the authors of the report says, "the donations from these companies... are no gift, they're a grift."

Nobody asked them to do it. Nobody trained them for it. They were just two teenage boys — the kind you pass on the sidewalk and barely notice — leaning on their bikes in the summer heat when they saw something no child should ever have to experience.

A man walked away with 5-year-old Jocelyn Rojas. She was supposed to be playing outside. She was supposed to be safe.

And in that single, awful second — while most of us would have been paralyzed, reaching for a phone, waiting for someone with a uniform and a badge to show up — these two boys made a choice.

They got on their bikes and they went after him.

No hesitation. No waiting for permission. No "someone else will handle it." Just two pairs of legs pumping hard through the streets of Lancaster, eyes locked on a stranger who had a little girl that wasn't his.

They tracked him. They stayed close. They didn't let him disappear into the afternoon like something that was never going to be found.

And then they confronted him.

Two teenagers. On bikes. Against a grown man who had already done the unthinkable. They forced him to stop.

He let Jocelyn go.

"The entire thing lasted only minutes." — Lancaster Police
Minutes. Because two boys closed the distance fast enough to interrupt it. Because they were raised — by someone, somehow — to believe that other people's emergencies are your business too.

When reporters asked one of them afterward why they did it, he gave the most deflating, most beautiful, most teenage answer imaginable.

He shrugged.

"I just felt like it was the right thing to do."
No speech. No GoFundMe. No press conference. Just a kid who saw a little girl in danger and couldn't make himself look away.

Jocelyn went home. She was reunited with her family. She got to grow up.

Because of two boys on bikes who hadn't been asked, hadn't been trained, hadn't been paid — and did it anyway.

Spread the word: Thomas Massie is pushing for the second most notorious pedophile in history to testify before congress about the Epstein files.

Trump is prepping for the midterms, because he already knows he’s gonna lose… bigly.

[Christopher Webb @cwebbonline]

California just held an election with paper ballots, signature verification, audits, bipartisan oversight, and public vote counting procedures.

You don’t get to yell “fraud” every time voters make a choice you don’t like.

Take the whiny little b*tch act somewhere else. We’re not buying that bullshit in this state!

LIE. I was there. They were walking through the building, destroying property, spreading feces on the walls, stealing things, rioting and threatening to kill the Vice President. But other than that . . .

Who’s more of a traitor? This masked Democrat operative or Republican fraud John Thune for failing to stop the likes of her(him?)

🇺🇸🧐Epstein case revelations: U.S. Congresswoman Lauren Boebert stunned Newsmax after reviewing the unredacted Epstein documents:
“It’s far darker than anyone could have imagined: emails about torture, constant references to ‘consumption,’ a place literally called the ‘Cannibal Restaurant,’ and code words like ‘jerky’ and ‘human meat’ being tossed around as if it were nothing.”
Yes. She directly asked whether we are dealing with cannibalism. With literal human consumption.
This is no longer some fringe theory. A sitting member of Congress is openly saying what no one else dares to say: these monsters not only abused and trafficked children — they may have eaten them as well.
And the women? Ghislaine Maxwell, Rachel Chandler, and an entire network of female predators were deeply involved in delivering children into this nightmare machine.
This isn’t “elite pedophilia.” This is satanic depravity. This is ritualized evil in suits and private jets. The documents are so horrifying, she warns, that the public may not be ready for them. But you know what?
We are more than ready. We are furious.
Enough redactions. Enough excuses about “national security.” Enough protecting these flesh-eating demons. Release every page. Name every name. Burn their world down.
The American people deserve the truth — even if it makes us sick.
Especially if it makes us sick.

Trump supporter at his Wisconsin event today: “Just to see him, to breathe the same air that Donald Trump is breathing. Oh my gosh. It’d be awesome.”

[Ounka @OunkaOnX]

A 17-year-old valedictorian, Leen Hijaz, used her graduation speech to speak for the voiceless: "Millions suffering in Palestine, Sudan, Congo, Afghanistan. Families torn apart by ICE."

The school administrator cut her mic. Told her: "If you don't stop, you're not graduating." They withheld her diploma for four days.

[CALL TO ACTIVISM @CalltoActivism]

BREAKING: Donald Trump calls JB Pritzker a “dumb, stupid slob.”

Just a reminder that JB Pritzker just balanced the Illinois budget with a $0 deficit AND has signed relief for groceries and gas.

Trump is a 5th grade bully who apparently needs to look in the mirror.

[John Collins @Logically_JC]

I was told he would bankrupt the city and destroy everything.

[Christopher Webb @cwebbonline]

LET’S KEEP IT REAL

According to Trump, Black jobs are in factories. And we already know if a Black person is a doctor, lawyer, engineer, executive, professor, pilot, or CEO, he calls it DEI.

Yesterday, Trump was asked why Black unemployment is still 7.3%, far above the national average of 4.3%.

His answer? Don’t worry, Black workers will do well when more factories and car plants open.

Apparently, in Trump’s America, our future is on the assembly line.

An extremely dangerous maggot that eats human flesh called Screwworm has just been found for the first time since it was eradicated in 1966.

This comes after Trump cut funding for Screwworm monitoring programs.

[Mike Levin @MikeLevin]

This is so insanely corrupt, I can’t even believe it.

More than half the donors to Trump’s $400 million White House ballroom just won over $50 billion in new federal contracts in six months.

And here’s the part that should make your blood boil.

Sixteen of these 27 donors were facing federal enforcement actions, antitrust reviews, labor cases, securities charges. Many of those cases have been quietly dropped or scaled back since Trump took office. You write a check, your legal problems disappear. That’s not a coincidence.

The White House won’t even release the full donor list. They’re hiding it on purpose, because daylight is the one thing pay-to-play can’t survive. A federal judge already ruled ballroom construction has to stop until Congress authorizes it.

Government is supposed to serve the people, not auction itself off to the highest bidder. When access goes to whoever pays the most, working families always end up paying the price.

We either end the corruption, or the corruption will end us.

[Ossoff's Office @SenOssoff]

WATCH: Republicans again blocked Sen. Ossoff's amendment to prevent insurance companies from denying or delaying needed care.

“Instead of slush funds for criminals and corrupt ballrooms, let's do something useful. Let's ban insurance companies from denying or delaying medically necessary health care to Americans," Sen. Ossoff said.
