Let me tell you what just got reported, because you will not believe it until you see it laid out.
The Trump administration cut a billion-dollar tungsten deal with Kazakhstan. Tungsten is the metal we need for missile warheads, fighter jets, and computer chips. Trump himself got on the phone to close it. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick worked it from the inside, sending letters, leaning on the Kazakh president, lining up as much as $1.6 billion in federal financing.
Within weeks of those negotiations, investors tied to a firm partly owned by Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump took a 20% stake in an entity connected to the very same Kazakhstan project their father was negotiating. Around that same time, Cantor Fitzgerald, the firm run by Lutnick’s own sons, raised $210 million for a partner in the deal and pocketed the fees.
The fathers set the policy. The sons cashed in.
Six days after the Trump sons and their partners moved their money, Lutnick signed the final deal.
The reporting found one or both families have financial ties to at least 14 companies working with the government on critical mining deals.
The total federal funding flowing toward those companies tops $8.9 billion.
This is your tax money.
It is supposed to secure our supply chains and protect our troops, not pad the portfolios of the President’s children and the Commerce Secretary’s children.
This is the most corrupt administration in American history. It is not close.
We must keep digging, and keep asking the questions they do not want asked. Republicans in Congress are unwilling to lift a finger. Mike Johnson is running a protection racket.
Either we will end the corruption, or the corruption will be the end of us.

@nowthisimpact Because, in general, the @GOP is only good at grifting, finding ways to support billionaires, taking away people's rights, and playing victims. They have no substance beyond that. They've also bowed down to a narcissistic, demented pedophile and convicted felon.
I’m all for people’s medical debt being erased, but the way some people are framing this, it’s as if Evan and Miranda donated $550 million.
They donated $5 million — it’s just that medical debt can be purchased for pennies on the dollar, so $5 million goes a long way.
It’s great, but for someone worth around $2 billion, it’s not some epic donation and certainly not worthy of the attention people are giving it.
(This isn’t directed at @unusual_whales)
This crosses every line.
Disagree on policy. Debate politics. Vote for whoever you want. But targeting someone’s family with a false report is dangerous, cruel, and completely indefensible.
@nowthisimpact He's a disgusting uneducated asshole who should be retired. Fuck anyone who thinks like him. I wish HE could experience what he forces women to go through.
Pete Buttigieg said his family has been targeted in a “politically motivated hoax” after someone made a false report to Child Protective Services alleging he committed crimes against his children
"Many times over the years, I have been denounced, yelled at, protested, threatened, and heckled. I’ve been through political attacks in office, death threats in public life, and rocket attacks in war. But this is the ugliest thing that has happened to me since my career in service began."

Washington, D.C. has reached a settlement agreement with Sam O’Hara, who says police illegally detained him in September 2025 for playing the Darth Vader theme from ‘Star Wars’ while following National Guard troops in protest of the Trump administration. The settlement amount was not disclosed.
