By popular demand, I'm resharing this piece on Karoline Leavitt getting paid to put her name on op-eds extolling Miles Guo, who got 30 years yesterday for stealing $1 billion from followers of the phony political movement he and Bannon launched. https://t.co/CuXZaySah5

The following thread documents all the ways in which Mr. Trump and members of his second term administration are abusing the law and violating decades-long codes of government ethics to benefit and enrich themselves at the expense of American taxpayers. @HouseDemocrats @SenateDems @RepSwalwell @RepRaskin @SenWarren

SCOOP: Kash Patel failed to properly disclose a six-figure purchase of stock in a Bitcoin-fueled company that's done business with the Department of Justice.

Any other FBI Director would have resigned before this story broke. The real news here is that Trump is willing to tolerate this.

Americans are saving at the lowest rates in over a decade.

While Trump has made over $1.4 BILLION since taking office.

The contrast couldn't be clearer.

This regime doesn't work for the American people. It works for Trump and his billionaire buddies.

Money laundering at scale.

[theleahfiles @leahfiles]

America's 250th birthday party is starting to look like one big money-laundering scheme, with your tax dollars funding PragerU propaganda trucks and our favorite foreign agent, Brad Parscale.

A decade ago, Congress set aside $150 million for America's 250th and created a bipartisan commission to run it.

That commission has received just $25 million and is now begging for more. The rest was steered to "Freedom 250," a shell LLC Trump stood up in 2025 and hid inside a National Park Service charity. It has pulled in around $80 million.

It gets worse.

Follow the money highlights below:

1️⃣ A $10 MILLION grant, library and museum money, was moved into Trump's birthday LLC to build "Freedom Trucks," mobile propaganda exhibits made with PragerU, the nonprofit whose CEO served in the IDF's Unit 8200. Only 8% has been spent. It reports ZERO sub-awards. No public record of who got the money.
Someone in Congress should look into this.

2️⃣ Around $50 million more is obligated and simply gone dark. Not itemized anywhere the public can find it. This looks intentional.

3️⃣ The White House is paying Campaign Nucleus, the company of Brad Parscale, a REGISTERED FOREIGN AGENT OF ISRAEL, to run the birthday events and harvest the data of everyone who signs up compliments of our tax dollars. (More on this one soon.)

Every dollar runs through a charity. Why? A charity is a wrapper. It lets you take in tax money, corporate cash, and foreign money and spend it on your own projects with the books closed.

If you wanted to design a machine to hide where money goes, it would look exactly like this.

@LUMACARE1974 is this person still employed in any way with your company? if yes, for the safety of the rest of your staff, and more importantly, the safety of your clients, it is time to look into and reconsider her association with your group.

Everything is transactional with trump. There is no morality, no reasoning, no fairness etc involved. Just money…

[Prof Zenkus @anthonyzenkus]

The problem with Jeff Bezos' ideology is that it's based on a false premise. The idea that "six thousand years ago someone invented the plow" is based on a faulty belief that ancient humans functioned as individuals. They did not.

Ancient humans were collectivist. The likelihood that one individual invented anything is slim to none.

This is the myth of the genius.

Archeological evidence demonstrates that for hundreds of thousands of years, early humans congregated around communal gathering places, like the fire, and engaged in problem solving and passing on of shared learning down through generations.

Additionally, the plow (and tools like it) were developed by humans in Mesopotamia, Europe, Egypt, East Asia, sub-Saharan Africa as well as other places - not in one place by one person. This is known as parallel development.

Believing that the plow was invented by one genius is like believing language was invented by one person. It is a silly myth and represents the projection of current moral standards onto past events.

This is called 'presentism' and it is both an uncritical and ignorant way to view history.

Social learning was the main driver of human evolution. Collectivism is how we both survived and progressed as a species.

The myth of the genius is an example of uncritical analysis and a flawed lens used to justify the grotesque hoarding of wealth and obscene inequality that is currently tearing at the social fabric our species.

It needs to be thrown on the trash heap of history.

Good news everyone, the man who deliberately condemned 14 million Black people to death has a new way to drill a hole in your head!

This way people can “couple directly” with Grok.

You don’t understand how dark his “endgame” really is.

BREAKING: Trump kicked golfers OFF public land to review plans for his gold-encrusted golf course built on toxic East Wing debris.

Public parks are not dumping grounds. @DDFund_, @DemocracyFwd, and Lowell&Assoc. will see you in court on 7/2. 👇

Trump‘s and Lutnick‘s sons have been involved in 14 rare mineral deals that were collectively financed or will be financed by $8.9 billion US taxpayer money, as Trump seeks to find partnerships to get at these minerals. It’s one of the most disgusting displays of kleptocracy so far!

Here, we have a president who, by his own account, personally called a federal prosecutor to intervene in an ongoing election — and the story has barely registered. https://t.co/6zrUxYKSK3
