Pretty much sums things up!

Yup

[Jamie Bonkiewicz @JamieBonkiewicz]

This is seriously the cringiest collapse of a nation in real time.

[Aes🇺🇸 @AesPolitics1]

The look of a failed president.

[Gianl1974 @Gianl1974]

A message to all sane Republicans:

He pardoned 1,600 violent criminals.
You said nothing.

He bulldozed the East Wing.
You said nothing.

He interfered with the release of the Epstein files. You said nothing.

He took over the Kennedy Center and renamed it after himself. You said nothing.

He accepted a $400 million airplane as a personal gift. You said nothing.

He threatened Canada, Cuba, Denmark, Greenland, Venezuela, Colombia, and Brazil. You said nothing.

He tariffed just about everyone but Russia, causing inflation and instability worldwide. You said nothing.

He attacked a nation during mediated negotiations. You said nothing.

His ill-conceived war killed 175 children on day one. You said nothing.

He alienated and insulted our allies. You said nothing.

His ICE Army terrorized and murdered U.S. citizens. You said nothing.

He committed murder on the high seas. You said nothing.

He co-opted the Justice Department and directed it to prosecute his political enemies. You said nothing.

It’s time to start talking.

Obama stock trades as president: 0.

Biden stock trades as president: 0.

Trump stock trades in Q1 2026 alone: 3,600+.

When do we all just admit he is a grifter and half of the American population got tricked into thinking he'd help anyone but himself and his inner circle?

This corruption is nauseating. Why are we paying taxes again?

Draining the swamp

[MP Arizona☀️🏳️‍🌈💙🌵🐕🐕‍🦺🫂💦🏜🐟🌴🎙🌎🌻♍️🌊 @AzPetrich]

The IRS has audited every President annually for decades to ensure there was no corruption. Only one president found that to be a problem.

[Republicans against Trump @RpsAgainstTrump]

GOP Senator Thom Tillis slams Trump’s $1.8B slush fund:

“I think it’s stupid on stilts… Taxpayer dollars will compensate someone who assaulted a police officer, got convicted…and now we’re going to pay him for that? This is absurd!”

[Chris Murphy 🟧 @ChrisMurphyCT]

Here's how the corruption works:

Thursday: RJ Reynolds donates $5M to Trump

Saturday: Trump invites RJR execs to Mar a Lago; execs ask to loosen regs on flavored vapes; Trump calls up RFK Jr. and tells him to change it

Friday: FDA changes the policy

[Republicans against Trump @RpsAgainstTrump]

Imagine if Biden:

• Created a $1.8 billion slush fund to hand out to rioters who assaulted police officers

• Banned the IRS from auditing him, his family, and his companies

• Accepted a $400 million luxury jet from a foreign monarchy

Pardoned hundreds of people who assaulted police officers

• Openly promoted his own meme coin while in office

• Had family members cutting international business deals while he was in office and directly profiting from them

• Repeatedly “joked” about staying in office past two terms

• Repeatedly praised Xi, Putin, and Kim Jong Un

The outrage would never end.

The fact that people are becoming numb to this level of corruption is insane.

[Maj. (Ret.) Richard Ojeda @Ojeda4America]

The President of the United States just disclosed up to THREE-QUARTERS OF A BILLION DOLLARS in stock trades in ONE quarter.

Not over 4 years.
Not over a lifetime.

ONE.
DAMN.
QUARTER.

@EdKrassen What bullshit

[Ed Krassenstein @EdKrassen]

So Mike Johnson and many republicans are against banning Members of Congress from trading stocks because inflation makes their salary less valuable.

Here’s an idea: if $174k a year isn’t enough for you, then resign and let someone who is willing to work the job do it.

There are plenty of young people who would be willing to give up stock trading for that salary. And they would actually get stuff done.

And if $174k isn’t enough for people to take care of their family, then how the hell is minimum wage?

[Josh Rogin @joshrogin]

“Somebody shorted the oil markets today by hundreds of millions of dollars exactly 20 minutes before Trump made his announcement that everything was going to be great. And if you see that once, it could be a coincidence. But that’s happened at least three times, if not more, since the war began. That’s a pattern.”

“And what that suggests is that there’s rampant corruption and insider self-dealing going on with the president’s up and down
predictions of what’s going to happen tomorrow in the negotiations and in the markets. And I’m sure that that’s being investigated. We can’t prove it, but it seems like the corruption that we’re seeing in our government, maybe not the President, but people who are in the know and the markets, is having a priority over the actual negotiations to end the war. And that’s a crazy thing that our system has never seen before.”

[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.

[Rep. Malcolm Kenyatta @malcolmkenyatta]

He’s literally just stealing from us in broad daylight. This level of corruption is so staggering it’s hard to wrap your head around it.

[Melanie D'Arrigo @DarrigoMelanie]

Trump is suing his own IRS for $10 billion — and he’s planning to settle it quickly to avoid going to court.

To be clear: This is a scam to steal $10 billion from taxpayers, while Republicans scream about “fraud.”

It’s mind boggling, it’s a cult! 😡
