@Mike45008515@bretterlich@anti_commie32 Do you know that it is FACT that most children who are sexually abused/molested KNOW their abuser? Most abusers are FAMILY members (uncles, stepparents, cousins), clergy, youth ministers, neighbors or parents of their friends. You are afraid of the WRONG people for your children!
Gov. @AndyBeshearKY: I've read about the ICE shock gloves. My concern is that they are going to the worst trained, most aggressive law enforcement unit I've ever seen. ICE agents have been taught that you can go into somebody's home without a judicial warrant. That's wrong. The idea that the previous party of "don't tread on me" is now trying to give even more weaponry to a group that has proven they will tread all over you.
The guy nominated for the Attorney General of the United States had to declare in writing that he wouldn’t help the President siphon billions of tax dollars into his slush funds.
The sad thing is, he’ll go ahead and do it anyway the minute he is confirmed…and everyone knows it.
Here’s the problem. When you put another country above the USA, when you are in the US government, no matter what you say, you aren’t working for the American people. Go be a lobbyist. Register as a lobbyist for a foreign government and make your living that way, but don’t take a paycheck from the US taxpayer. Get out of representing the people of the USA.
NEWS: For nearly 20 years, Epstein moved over $1B through the major banks. The banks looked away.
Sen. Wyden’s 3-year probe exposes it all. But most damning? How Trump and the GOP tried to bury it. https://t.co/8tYccFjQbV
PabloReports: Does Donald Trump get to keep this Qatari jet after the presidency?
Raskin: No, he does not. You know why? Because the Constitution says he can’t do it.
Because the Constitution says that the president may not receive a present, an emolument—which means a payment, an office or title of any kind—from a king, a prince, or a foreign state without the consent of Congress.
And Congress has not consented to him keeping a $400 million jet. So it’s got to be turned over immediately to Congress for disposition.
We can either send it back to the people in Qatar, or we can keep it and do something different with it. But it doesn’t belong to the president.
You know, Abraham Lincoln, in the middle of the Civil War, wanted to keep some elephant tusks he’d gotten from the King of Siam. He never kept a present before. He wrote a letter to Congress. He said, “Can I keep this?” And Congress said, you know, you’re doing a great job, Honest Abe, and we love you, but no, you can’t keep it. Turn it over to the Department of State. That’s the right way to do it.
Every other president has come to Congress to ask whether they can keep one of these foreign gifts from a government, king, or prince. President Trump should be no different. He’s got to come to us too. And if not, we’ll just have to requisition it and confiscate it.
Let me be really clear about what just happened.
The head of the U.S. Postal Service sat in front of the United States Senate and said the quiet part loud: no voter list, no mail ballots. Full stop.
You don’t get to look away from this one.
This is a proposed rule. It’s being fought in court. But the fact that it was said — that a federal official openly threatened to withhold your ballot — that matters.
Your vote is yours. Not the administration’s. Not USPS’s. Yours.
Stay informed. Stay loud.
BREAKING: Trump's Reflecting Pool contractors — including a TRUMP DONOR — are now under congressional investigation for the $16 million algae disaster.
The contractors behind Trump's botched $16 million Reflecting Pool — now a swampy, peeling, bright-green embarrassment — are officially in HOT WATER with Congress. And surprise: one of them is a major Trump donor.
Sen. Jeff Merkley (D-OR) launched an investigation into the disastrous renovation, demanding answers from John Cafaro, CEO of Green Water Solutions, and Curtis Wood, CEO of Atlantic Industrial Coatings — the two firms that scored NO-BID contracts to wreck one of Washington's most iconic landmarks.
The numbers are infuriating. Atlantic Industrial Coatings landed a $14.7 million contract — MORE THAN DOUBLE the original $6.7 million estimate. Green Water Solutions got $1.7 million for a filtration system that apparently doesn't filter.
Merkley nailed the hypocrisy: "After railing about waste, fraud, and abuse, Donald Trump spent more than $16 million on a renovation of the Reflecting Pool that's now peeling and chock full of algae. This is a massive waste of working families' hard-earned tax dollars. I'm launching an investigation because taxpayers deserve swift answers — and a REFUND."
Now, here's where it gets really swampy. Rep. Robert Garcia pointed out that contractor John Cafaro has donated EXTENSIVELY to Trump's campaign and aligned groups — and his firm has only ever had one other federal contract, which was ALSO a no-bid award handed out under Trump.
A Trump donor. No competitive bidding. A multi-million-dollar contract. A pool that immediately turned green. You can connect the dots with your eyes closed..
Merkley is also demanding answers about one truly absurd detail: on May 7, Trump's motorcade — at least a DOZEN armored vehicles — drove directly onto the drained pool so Trump could "inspect" it. The senator wants to know if anyone approved heavy vehicles rolling over the freshly repaired expansion joints. (Spoiler: that might explain a lot.)
The Interior Department's defense? "The White House was not involved in the selection process... Full stop." They also provided ZERO evidence for Trump's wild claim that "vandals" with knives sabotaged the pool.
A botched job by a Trump donor handed a no-bid contract. A motorcade driving on freshly applied pool surfacing. And taxpayers footing the entire bill.
It’s clear that the swamp has a new color scheme — and it’s looking exactly like algae green.
Please like and share if you’re SICK of Trump’s entire corrupt administration!
The Trump admin doesn’t want anyone to say the name of Jonathan Ross, the ICE agent who murdered Renee Good.
So whatever you do, don’t say Jonathan Ross. Or Border Patrol agent Jesus Ochoa and Customs and Border Protection officer Raymundo Gutierrez…the men who murdered Alex Pretti.
The U.S. government just made a land deal with the world's first trillionaire. Not a sale. A trade.
Because apparently that's how we do things now.
715 acres of the Lower Rio Grande Valley National Wildlife Refuge - built by Congress in 1979 to protect one of the most biodiverse wildlife corridors left in North America - handed to SpaceX.
Endangered ocelots. Aplomado falcons. Piping plovers. Land the Carrizo/Comecrudo Nation of Texas has called sacred since long before there was a United States.
SpaceX built a rocket launch site next door. Then came the explosions. Concrete and metal hurled six miles across refuge land. A 2024 study found that after one launch, every single monitored shorebird nest near the site suffered egg damage or loss. The Fish and Wildlife Service's response was not enforcement. It was a land swap.
FOIA documents show internal planning for this transfer started as early as April 2025 - while Musk was running DOGE and threatening to fire federal workers who didn't justify their jobs to him. The agency developed what they called "the most expedited schedule possible" to get it done.
Part of what's being handed over includes the Palmito Ranch Battlefield - the site of the last battle of the Civil War. A National Historic Landmark. Once transferred, SpaceX can restrict public access whenever they want.
25,000+ people submitted public comments. Most opposed the deal. The government moved forward anyway.
A coalition of tribal and conservation groups filed a federal lawsuit this week to stop it. Because someone has to.
Why are we cutting real estate deals with a trillionaire when we could have just made him pay for it?

@wdunlap Arrogance and ignorance are rampant in this country. Send your donations for his ballroom yet? Hahahahahaha. Every hint of him will be stripped from every building when he leaves DC. The narcissist will be a zero in the USA.
