“We didn’t give them money we just unfroze their money.”

“They promised they’d only spend it on humanitarian supplies. I’m sure they’re very trustworthy.”

“I’ll ignore the $400m pallet of cash delivered by the last Democrat administration.”

Complete idiocy.

We gave Iran a massive concession they want very badly up front in advance in exchange for a promise to allow inspectors in again with zero specifics about when, how, or what sites they will be allowed to see. This is insanity.

Trump's DOJ has killed a criminal investigation into Trump's pardon of David Gentile, a private equity executive convicted in a $1.6 billion fraud scheme.

Gentile had discussed making payments of over $2.5 million to Trump allies to help facilitate the pardon.

Trump on the Reflecting Pool last month: "It's very strong. You couldn't, if you had a knife — I don't want to give anybody ideas — if you had a knife, you can't even cut it. So strong, so powerful."

Trump now: “They took some form of knife or blade, and put a 250 foot long gash into the beautiful facade of what took so much work, competence, and money to build and complete.”

I met Fahd Abu Haikal, the father of 7-month-old Sam, who was murdered by the IDF earlier this month. He showed me the car with bullet holes and Sam’s blood and then Sam’s toys, which he hid to protect his wife from having to see them.

“At least 75 career officials who once held roles related to election integrity and safety are gone. Two dozen appointees — including many who either worked to reverse the 2020 vote or are associates of such people — have been hired to replace them.“

This would be a scandal that would have ended any other presidency.

Qatar gave a $400 million Boeing 747 to the Pentagon. Trump calls it a “free” gift. It is not free. The Air Force just spent months retrofitting it with secure communications, missile defense, and electromagnetic shielding.

The cost of that work is classified.

Estimates say north of a billion.

The number is enormous, and you are paying it.

Now the part they bury.

Under the memorandum signed by the Pentagon and Qatar, ownership of the plane transfers to Trump’s presidential library foundation when he leaves office. His own son says it will sit in the lobby of a future Trump hotel.

So follow the chain.

A foreign government hands a luxury jet to a sitting president. American taxpayers rebuild it from the inside out. Then Trump takes it home.

A gift you use for four years and then keep is still a gift. The Constitution bars foreign gifts to a president without the consent of Congress. This one never got that consent.

We are paying a fortune to gift wrap a luxury jet that ends up in his private collection.

Grift in plain sight.

NEW from @nytimes: What did the Iran war that the US and Israel started cost Americans, Iranians, Israelis and many others? More than 7,000 people have been killed in Iran and Lebanon, along with 13 US military members. The cost to the US is at least $132 billion, Moody's said.

[Rep. Mike Levin @RepMikeLevin]

This should be on the front page of every newspaper in America.   

Trump’s DOJ just shut down a federal investigation into a coal company owned by Sen. Jim Justice, one of his closest allies, after it racked up tens of thousands of alleged violations for dumping dangerous chemicals into our waterways. A veteran federal prosecutor with 24 years on the job said he had never seen anything like it.  

The man who killed the case was Todd Blanche, Trump’s former personal defense lawyer and current Acting Attorney General. This is the same guy who just gave Trump, his family, and his companies permanent immunity from IRS audits. Now Trump wants the Senate to make Blanche’s appointment permanent too.  

Equal justice under law was never supposed to come with exceptions for the President’s friends.  

The pattern isn’t subtle: protect Trump’s friends, prosecute his critics, and get rewarded with more power. That is corruption, plain and simple. Todd Blanche must not be confirmed.

ICE spent over $1 billion buying 11 warehouses to cage human beings. Now it’s quietly trying to sell or give away seven of them, more than $700 million gone, with not a single facility open and an inspector general investigation hanging over the whole mess.

This is the waste they swore they were elected to root out.

The fraud, the abuse, the blank check spent without a plan.

They bought industrial buildings at up to $145 million apiece, before renovations, with no environmental review, no community buy-in, and no real strategy for what came next. Even Republican officials told them to stop. Taxpayers are left holding the bill for warehouses that detained no one and accomplished nothing but fear.

It’s total hypocrisy.

An administration that lectured the country about efficiency lit $700 million on fire as part of Stephen Miller’s cruel fantasy of mass detention. Imagine what that money could have done for veterans waiting on housing, for families crushed by costs, for the working people they claim to serve.

I’m glad this plan is dying. It was inhumane from the first day, designed to warehouse people far from the rule of law and basic decency. But being glad it failed does not erase how it failed, recklessly and expensively. We must have full accountability for the officials who pushed it.
