Trump’s net worth has nearly tripled in his second term, reaching $6.5 billion.
His administration is the most brazenly self-enriching in American history.

Ballots were already in voters' hands in Louisiana, yet the Supreme Court still threw out its own 32-day waiting period to ram through a gerrymander.
At this point, there is no doubt that they are not just putting their finger on the scale, but acting as an arm of the Republican Party.

Can someone let the AP know that violating court orders is not a sign of "executive power. " It is a sign of contempt, lawlessness and authoritarianism.
A three-year-old company operating out of a WeWork with reportedly fewer than five employees is being considered for up to $25 BILLION in nuclear energy funds from a trade deal Trump brokered with Japan.
The company has never built a nuclear plant or completed a nuclear project of any kind.
What does this company bring to the table? The father of its CEO donated $2 million+ to Trump and the GOP, and one of its advisors is a former RNC co-chair and Trump appointee.
In this Administration, that’s apparently all you need.
The day before the Iran War, a flurry of big prediction market bets were placed - likely from Trump staff - that the war would start the next day.
That's outrageous, and today @RepCasar and I introduced legislation to ban these corrupt prediction markets.
A purpose of the war on Iran might well be to provoke a terrorist attack inside the United States. This would provide Donald Trump with a pretext to try to cancel or “federalize” the coming Congressional elections.

Anne Applebaum: "Steve Witkoff has no experience with Russia or diplomacy. I fear he imagines a US-Russia pact where he, his son, Trump's family or their circle benefit personally.
It's disturbing that American foreign policy conducted not for the US, allies or world peace, but for private interests.
Putin knows Trump is vulnerable to such deals - that's why he keeps suggesting them.
Witkoff and Trump's entourage behave like Russians: capture the state, use it for personal wealth."
"The interview was conducted July 24, 2019, and entered into the FBI’s case files on August 9, the day before Epstein was found dead in his jail cell."
BREAKING:
Both the White House & RNCC have lashed out at the creators of this ad.
It must have struck a nerve.
Maybe they don't like being outed as fascists.
You know what to do: SPREAD THIS EVERYWHERE!
🚨NEW: Cardinal Joseph Tobin, the Archbishop of Newark and a top ally of Pope Leo, has called for Congress to block funding of ICE, calling the agency a "lawless organization" and "machinery of death."
RETWEET if you stand with Cardinal Tobin against ICE!
Lost in the background of the horrific murder of Alex Pretti is that an ICE agent walked up to a woman who was actively backing away from him and shoved her with two hands, sending her sprawling backwards onto an icy sidewalk. He then tries to pepper spray her while she is prone on the ground.
There is no justification for this physical violence against her. She isn't resisting arrest and she isn't threatening the agent. He crossed the street to physically attack her.
This is not normal. This is not ok. Law enforcement cannot physically assault citizens on the street. Any police officer who did this would lose their job.
We've seen countless examples of ICE initiating physical violence with no justification. This cannot be normalized.
🚨NEW: Singer Neil Young is boycotting Amazon Music due to Jeff Bezos's support for Trump and has gifted his entire catalog to the nation of Greenland!
RETWEET to thank @NeilYoung for standing up for our democracy!
A statement from Alex Pretti’s younger sister, Micayla Pretti:
“Alex was kind, generous, and had a way of lighting up every room he walked into. He was incredibly intelligent and deeply passionate, and he made people feel safe. But most importantly, he was my brother. I had the privilege of being his little sister for 32 years. I will never be able to hug him, laugh with him, or cry to him again because of those thugs—and that is a pain no words can fully capture.
Alex always wanted to make a difference in this world, and it’s devastating that he won’t be here to witness the impact he was making. Through his work at the VA caring for the sickest patients, and passion to advance cancer research, he touched more lives than he probably ever realized. All Alex ever wanted was to help someone—anyone. Even in his very last moments on this earth, he was simply trying to do just that.
I want to thank everyone who has reached out to my family and me, whether you knew Alex personally or not. The messages, posts, and overwhelming positivity shared about him truly reflect his character, work ethic, and passions. My brother is, and always will be, my hero.
When does this end? How many more innocent lives must be lost before we say enough? Hearing disgusting lies spread about my brother is absolutely gut-wrenching, and my family is deeply grateful so many people have stood up and helped tell his truth. He would be very proud.”
Trump’s endless empowerment of federal immigration agents has resulted in yet another senseless killing. This brutal crackdown has to end.
I cannot and will not vote to fund DHS while this administration continues these violent federal takeovers of our cities.
We oppose the ICE funding bill.
We call for a full and transparent investigation with state officials.
And we call on our Republican colleagues to stand up. They know this is wrong.
I’m devastated. A good friend and dormmate of mine, Amin Pourfarhang, has been sentenced to death after protesting in Iran 😭 He’s one of the kindest people I’ve ever known.
Please share. Visibility raises the cost for the Islamic Republic and may stop this execution!
