Let me tell you what just got reported, because you will not believe it until you see it laid out.

The Trump administration cut a billion-dollar tungsten deal with Kazakhstan. Tungsten is the metal we need for missile warheads, fighter jets, and computer chips. Trump himself got on the phone to close it. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick worked it from the inside, sending letters, leaning on the Kazakh president, lining up as much as $1.6 billion in federal financing.

Within weeks of those negotiations, investors tied to a firm partly owned by Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump took a 20% stake in an entity connected to the very same Kazakhstan project their father was negotiating. Around that same time, Cantor Fitzgerald, the firm run by Lutnick’s own sons, raised $210 million for a partner in the deal and pocketed the fees.

The fathers set the policy. The sons cashed in.

Six days after the Trump sons and their partners moved their money, Lutnick signed the final deal.

The reporting found one or both families have financial ties to at least 14 companies working with the government on critical mining deals.

The total federal funding flowing toward those companies tops $8.9 billion.

This is your tax money.

It is supposed to secure our supply chains and protect our troops, not pad the portfolios of the President’s children and the Commerce Secretary’s children.

This is the most corrupt administration in American history. It is not close.

We must keep digging, and keep asking the questions they do not want asked. Republicans in Congress are unwilling to lift a finger. Mike Johnson is running a protection racket.

Either we will end the corruption, or the corruption will be the end of us.

You weren’t spending 5 hours at the airport under Biden….matter of fact….the airlines were required to pay you money if they messed up…..just food for thought.

a woman is expected to remain completely calm as armed white supremacist thugs try to forcibly open her car door but an ICE agent is allowed to panic and shoot someone in the head three times from a foot away because he “felt threatened”

[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC]

It’s not about drugs. If it was, Trump wouldn’t have pardoned one of the largest narco traffickers in the world last month.

It’s about oil and regime change.

And they need a trial now to pretend that it isn’t. Especially to distract from Epstein + skyrocketing healthcare costs.

[Brian Allen @allenanalysis]

A U.S. soldier was gunned down in the streets of the capital, a uniformed service member murdered on federal ground and the flags stayed at full-staff as if nothing happened.

But when a podcaster was killed, the government dropped the flags to half-staff before the body was even cold.

This country is telling you exactly whose lives matter to the people in power and a 20-year-old soldier isn’t on their list.

Brian Schatz: "This is not about money. There is enough money to bail out Argentina with $20b. There is enough money to purchase a brand new aircraft for $173m for Noem. There is enough money to renovate the WH ballroom. What there isn't enough money for under this Republican government is you."

[Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders]

If you're the Qatari royal family worth $335 billion, Trump gives you an Air Force facility in Idaho.

If you're the President of Argentina, Trump gives you a $20 billion bailout.

If you're an American whose health care premiums are about to double? Tough luck.

Y'alls president is getting boosters while making sure your children die from preventable diseases.

Some people don't want to be saved

[Kamala Harris @KamalaHarris]

President Trump and Congressional Republicans just shut down the government because they refused to stop your health care costs from rising.

Let me be clear: Republicans are in charge of the White House, House, and Senate. This is their shutdown.

[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC]

Republicans are tearing up Congressional maps across the country to run from their voters and avoid accountability at the midterms.

We can fight back.

California: vote YES on Prop 50.

YES on 50 helps balance the scales nationwide.

Our country needs you, and I stand with you.

[Conan O'Brien @ConanOBrien]

The suspension of @jimmykimmel and the promise to silence other Late Night hosts for criticizing the administration should disturb everyone on the Right, Left, and Center.  It’s wrong and anyone with a conscience knows it’s wrong.

[Senator Adam Schiff @SenAdamSchiff]

Kimmel.

Colbert.

Suits against the New York Times, Wall Street Journal, and 60 Minutes.

Extorting settlements from CBS, ABC, and others.

Blocking the AP's access to the White House.

This administration is responsible for the most blatant attacks on the free press in American history.

What will be left of the First Amendment when he’s done?

[steven @egyptian_neenan]

I hope we all recognize that late night tv hosts are being held to a higher standard than our elected leaders and the current regime

[Ed Markey @SenMarkey]

Brazil is sending its election denier to prison for 27 years. We sent ours back to the White House. Brazil already lived under military dictatorship and saw the threat clearly. We failed to protect our democracy. We need to learn from Brazil before it’s too late.
