BREAKING: Iranian officials say they will soon release the audio of several voicemails Donald Trump left them in which he begs, threatens, attempts to bribe, and finally cries for them to open up the Strait of Hormuz so gas prices will go down before Americans vote on November 3.
Trump ordered the USDA to close the Beltsville Agricultural Research Center (BARC) in Maryland, which houses the nation's oldest and most prominent bee research laboratory, and almost no one blinked an eye.
THIS MATTERS.
First, this is just one of the cuts to agricultural research funding he’s made, which, together, cost us $32 million. That’s like six Trump weekend golf vacations. If he wants to save money, he can start by cutting those.
Second, scientists JUST found that bee venom can kill cancer cells. MAGA loves to say we wouldn’t be able to say something nice about the current president “even if he cured cancer.” Well, now we’ll never know. Because, yet again, he cut funding for it.
And finally, the part everyone’s ignoring: he’s only president for 2.5 more years. In 2.5 years, someone who ACTUALLY loves America will win office and inherit a repair job. The brilliant people he fired will all have found new jobs, and we’ll have to find people to replace them.
The damage he’s doing will take a LONG time to undo.

ÚLTIMA HORA: Donald Trump acaba de enfrentarse a una de las descripciones más brutalmente brillantes —y precisas— de su abominable carácter que JAMÁS hayamos leído.
El autor Oliver Kornetzke no se contuvo. Así describió a Trump:
“Miren. El cadáver purulento de la podredumbre estadounidense embutido en un traje que no le queda bien: la sordidez de un estafador, la cobardía de un evasor del servicio militar, la glotonería de un parásito, el racismo de un miembro del Ku Klux Klan, el sexismo de un canalla de barrio, la ignorancia de un borracho de bar y la avaricia de un depredador de fondos de cobertura; todo pintado de naranja con aerosol y exhibido como un cerdo premiado en una feria del condado”, escribe Kornetzke. Ni un presidente. Ni siquiera un hombre. Solo la destilación enfermiza de todo lo que este país jura no ser, pero siempre ha sido: arrogancia disfrazada de excepcionalismo, estupidez presentada como sentido común, crueldad vendida como dureza, avaricia exaltada como ambición y corrupción venerada como evangelio. Es la sombra de Estados Unidos hecha carne, un ídolo de calabaza podrida que demuestra que cuando una nación se arrodilla ante el dinero, el poder y el rencor, no solo pierde su alma, sino que defeca esta obscenidad inflada y la llama líder.
Nunca se escribieron palabras más ciertas.
🚨HOLY F*CK it’s official: Lawyers say THREE FBI interviews with the woman who accused Trump of raping her when she was between 13 and 15 years-old ARE MISSING FROM THE FILES.
This is the biggest cover up in history. This MUST lead to prison or our laws mean nothing.
For the first time in 24 years, the Trump administration has decided not to invite international observers to watch the federal election in the United States. This years midterms will proceed without monitors from the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE,) a regional security group. Trump is doing everything in his power to lie, cheat and steal this election. 🤬 Show up in massive numbers to Vote Blue so he cannot steal or question the results! 💙💙💙🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
During preparations for a 2018 military parade, Trump told staff not to include wounded veterans because he felt amputees did not "look good" for him.
After a ceremony where Captain Luis Avila— a severely wounded Army officer — sang “God Bless America," Trump told then-Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Mark Milley, “Why do you bring people like that here? No one wants to see that, the wounded.”
A five-time draft-dodger said that.
Thank you to ALL veterans — regardless of political affiliation or limb status.
You deserve a president who respects you.
Mighty strange indeed.
Relations appear to be so good between the Putin and Trump administrations that they are likely now sharing intelligence.
I guess this way there will be no paper trail…
BREAKING: INSANITY! A jaw-dropping ABC News analysis discovers that investments by Donald Trump Jr. and Eric have raked in over $6 billion in government contracts since their dad was sworn in.
And it gets so much worse...
Yesterday, President Trump announced a $6.6 billion investment with defense company Anduril Industries. The U.S. Navy will foot $2.9 billion of that bill to help build a new military facility. Not so coincidentally, 1789 Capital, where Don Jr. is a partner, took a major stake in Anduril last year.
This is exactly what it looks like. They're not even trying to hide the money trail. Here's how it works, time and time again...
One of Trump's kids, or a close crony, or perhaps even the President himself through proxies, dumps investment money into a company. Then, oh so conveniently, that company begins pulling in massively lucrative government contracts rubber-stamped by Trump. They take your hard-earned tax dollars and directly use them to balloon their stock portfolios.
There's an added cost beyond just the dollar amount as well. This kind of corruption destroys competition and disincentivizes quality work. Rather than awarding federal contracts to the companies that can deliver the best products or services for the American people, they're going to the entities with the most White House pull.
In the case of Trump's incredibly stupid, pampered, crooked sons, the Anduril arrangement is just the latest sweetheart deal. Don Jr. is also an "adviser" to drone manufacturer Unusual Machines which, prior to him coming on board, had not received any government work. But in October of last year, they landed a massive Defense Department order for 3,500 motors, with a possible order of 20,000 coming in 2026. Gee, isn't that an odd coincidence?
Don Jr. and Eric are also investors in the drone company Powerus. Again, the company had never received government contracts until they came on board. Then, in April of this year, Powerus scored a contract with the U.S. Air Force. It then scored another worth up to $90 million.
And these deals are just the tip of the iceberg. They have countless other investments. According to ABC News, the brothers also have "more than $1 billion across companies in mining, quantum computing and aerospace."
A spokesperson for the brothers absurdly defended them against the allegations of corruption—
"Don and Eric are experienced business leaders who have built and invested in businesses across a wide range of industries for decades, long before their father first ran for public office," they said. "Their investment decisions are based solely on their independent business judgment and personal convictions and they do not seek to influence, direct, or participate in any government decision, procurement, award, regulatory action, or other governmental process. Attempts to portray their ordinary investment activities as improper are a deliberate distortion of the facts."
Translation: We think you are stupid. We think you can't stop us. And we're going to keep using our father's power to make ourselves disgustingly wealthy.
This is what oligarchy looks like. These troglodytic nitwits have done nothing to earn this money. They were born into extreme privilege and have failed up their entire lives, just like their father did. While the vast majority of Americans are working hard at real jobs, struggling to even get by thanks to Trump's economy, his idiot sons are getting fat off corruption.
When we retake Congress, we need to launch a sweeping forensic investigation into every member of Trump's family! It's time for prosecutions.
Please ❤️ and share to demand a full Congressional investigation!
Funny that MAGAs get mad about who is displayed in a welfare fraud ad. They also think Medicare fraud is only done by minorities.
Well, this happens to be the face of Medicare fraud.
Hours before Krist Noem left her job as D.H.S. secretary, her agency bought 5 planes from a donor at a big markup, records show. They were supposed to fly deportees but have largely sat idle -- a striking symbol of gov. waste under President Trump. https://t.co/8CXALhOwpa
