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.

BREAKING: James Talarico just torched Ken Paxton in a way we didn’t think was possible. Retweet this to make sure every Texan knows how corrupt Paxton really is.
President Obama on Iran: “We pulled it off without firing a missile. We got 97% of their enriched uranium out. There’s no dispute that it worked and we didn’t have to kill a whole bunch of people or shut down the Strait of Hormuz”
Can't stop thinking about Elon Musk, the wealthiest man alive worth $828 billion, spending $290 million to elect Trump, becoming $563 billion richer since Trump was elected and ending humanitarian aid that will lead to the deaths of 4.5 million of the poorest kids on the planet.
🚨MAJOR BREAKING: Donald Trump has arrived in China to find that President XI did NOT greet him at the airport.
MAGA is in spin mode heralding the “red carpet treatment,” but the visit is already at a rocky start.
Instead of a presidential welcome, Trump was greeted by US Ambassador to China David Perdue; Xi’s vice president, Han Zheng; China’s Ambassador to Washington Xie Feng; and Executive Vice Minister of Foreign Affairs Ma Zhaoxu.
I’m sure Trump would hate if you shared this and rubbed it in all day long.
Applebaum's piece is worth reading slowly because the specific details are doing work that the summary can't.
Danish military commanders - inside a NATO alliance the United States founded - had to sit in a room and war-game whether their forces would shoot down American planes and kill American soldiers. Some of them still haven't fully recovered from running that exercise. The most popular app in Denmark during Applebaum's visit was one that identifies American products so users know not to buy them.
NATO has invoked Article 5 exactly once in its history. On behalf of the United States. After September 11th. Allied troops went to Afghanistan and some of them died there. Trump told reporters those allies "stayed a little back, a little off the front lines." The families of soldiers who didn't come back heard that.
Now Trump is in the middle of a war in the Persian Gulf with the Strait of Hormuz locked, oil prices spiking, and he's telling NATO allies - the same ones he insulted and tariffed and threatened - that he's "demanding" they come help solve a problem his own decisions helped create.
Applebaum's conclusion is precise: he doesn't connect what he does on one day to what happens weeks later. Allied leaders have drawn their conclusions. The rupture, as Mark Carney called it, isn't coming. It already happened.
TRUMP STARTED A DAMN WAR WITH IRAN SO HIS KIDS, ERIC AND DON JR, COULD GET RICH SELLING DRONES IN THE MIDDLE EAST!!!
On top of that, he wants $1.5 trillion MORE taxpayer funds for his war, but nothing for American families.
Y'all were mad about Hunter Biden selling a painting.
Leaked White House Video
Trump: “You know, we’re not supposed to be seduced that way, right? But I am. When someone’s nice to me, I love that person. Even if they’re bad people, I couldn’t care less. I’ll fight to the end for them.”
Trump just completely admitted that Republicans and their pro-billionaire policies do a terrible job running America.
Then, he DELETED THIS CLIP from his account.
Make sure everyone sees it!
The White House deleted this embarrassing video. So whatever you do- * DON'T REPOST IT. * Donald wouldn't like it if you hit "repost."
Trump: We can't take care of daycare. We're a big country. We're fighting wars. It's not possible for us to take care of daycare, Medicaid, Medicare, all these things.

TWEEPS: At 5pm today, trump moved to end mail-in voting while continuing to use it himself. That’s not election integrity, that’s blatant voter suppression.

They had to get just the right lighting for all those profile photos.
Still no investigation, no hospital record, & most ppl can't recall the shooter's name.
And if you think "God protected Trump," you believe God wanted Cory Comperatore to die, horribly, in front of his kids.
🩸🩸🩸 I'm going to post this video every day so we never forget what the 34x POS convicted felon who incites political violence, adjudicated rapist & pedophile Trump did on J6 🩸🩸🩸
Instead of honoring our Constitution's key principle of a Peaceful Transfer of Power, POS Donald Trump Abused his Power on Jan 6th by inciting this violent & deadly attack on our country's Capital and should be in prison for life 🩸🩸🩸
THIS IS WHAT AN INSURRECTION LOOKS LIKE ⬇️⬇️⬇️
General Mark Milley: “We don’t take an oath to a king or queen, or a tyrant or a dictator. And we don’t take an oath to a wannabe dictator. We take an oath to the Constitution, and we’re willing to die to protect it.”
RETWEET if you stand with General Milley on No Kings Day!
Trump on TSA funding: "I'm suggesting to the Republican Party do not make any deal on anything"
Congress leaves town tomorrow for 2 weeks. They aren't going to have TSA money before they go. Blame the GOP and Donald Trump for all of this.
