Hi

[Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald]

It's becoming surreal how Trump officials and their supporters keep yelling at everyone for supposedly misrepresenting the terms of the Memorandum they signed with Iran, all while they choose not to release it so that everyone can read it.

It's signed. Let everyone read it.

[The Lincoln Project @ProjectLincoln]

It's only Tuesday and Trump has fucked up a pool for $14 Million, lost a war agreeing to pay Iran $300 Billion, and ballooned his already expensive ballroom budget by another $200 Million.

Where are the Republicans screaming about "waste, fraud and abuse"?

[Brett Baker @BrettSBaker]

Let there be no doubt, it happened, @SenatorFischer.

[Kush @kushika_twt]

The first trillionaire being announced before the end of child poverty is not a success story.

It’s a moral failure.

[scary lawyerguy @scarylawyerguy]

If Biden said "I love the inflation" the media would have collapsed on itself like a dying star in outrage. There wouldn't be enough room on the opinion page of the NYT or segments on cable news for pundits to demand he resign. This? A fart in the wind, forgotten by tomorrow🙃

[Poker and Politics @PokerPolitics]

Absolute gibberish. “I love inflation” would be a weeks long scandal in and of itself in any other administration, adding to it some delusional nonsense about stealing Iran’s oil on top of it is just incredible.

[Mike Levin @MikeLevin]

This is so insanely corrupt, I can’t even believe it.

More than half the donors to Trump’s $400 million White House ballroom just won over $50 billion in new federal contracts in six months.

And here’s the part that should make your blood boil.

Sixteen of these 27 donors were facing federal enforcement actions, antitrust reviews, labor cases, securities charges. Many of those cases have been quietly dropped or scaled back since Trump took office. You write a check, your legal problems disappear. That’s not a coincidence.

The White House won’t even release the full donor list. They’re hiding it on purpose, because daylight is the one thing pay-to-play can’t survive. A federal judge already ruled ballroom construction has to stop until Congress authorizes it.

Government is supposed to serve the people, not auction itself off to the highest bidder. When access goes to whoever pays the most, working families always end up paying the price.

We either end the corruption, or the corruption will end us.

Enten: "So fewer Americans think it's acceptable to put President Trump's name on government buildings right now than believe that the earth is that or the moon landing is fake"

Does this technically count as the first half of a double-header?

HUSKERS WIN! 🌽

Nebraska will play in the semifinal game tonight!

[Mike Levin @MikeLevin]

This New York Times piece is worth your time. Here’s what is happening, as simply as I can put it.

Back in January, Trump sued the IRS, an agency he controls, demanding $10 billion over the leak of his tax returns a number of years ago.

IRS lawyers did their jobs. They wrote a memo laying out the defenses that could beat the suit, including the fact that Trump filed too late. His own lawyer was in court when the leaker pleaded guilty in October 2023, more than two years before Trump sued.

The Justice Department never showed up to court. Never argued back. Never used the defenses sitting on their desk.

The judge got suspicious and ordered both sides to explain whether they were actually opposing each other or just colluding. The day before that brief was due, Trump dropped the suit.

Same day, his Justice Department announced a $1.776 billion taxpayer-funded “anti-weaponization fund.” 

Trump gets a formal apology. The IRS agrees to drop any audits of him and his family, even though a 2024 Times report found a loss in an ongoing audit could cost him over $100 million.

The acting Attorney General, Trump’s former criminal defense attorney, picks the five commissioners who decide who gets paid. Trump can fire any of them. Proud Boys and Oath Keepers are not ruled out.

This is the most corrupt thing I’ve ever seen from an American president.

Where in the hell are my Republican colleagues?

@Eazyy_C Only money can buy you that amount of audacity

[Joel White @joelwhite94]

He's not even trying to hide the corruption. At least past politicians tried to hide it

[Aaron Rupar @atrupar]

Q: Do you believe people who committed violence against Capitol police officer on January 6 should be eligible for compensation from this DOJ fund, and are you or your family members going to be seeking compensation from that fund?

TRUMP: Yeah. It will all be dependent on a committee

[Pete Buttigieg @PeteButtigieg]

You could start by walking down the hall. See why your boss keeps pardoning people convicted of money laundering, wire fraud, tax evasion, and securities fraud.

[Barry @BarryOnHere]

A 6th different franchise is about to win the East in 8 years since LeBron left.

But LeBron winning it 8 years in a row wasn't impressive 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[Acyn @Acyn]

Mockler: He took office and spiked 2.9% inflation, up to 3.8%. Gas prices are up to $4.50 in most states, and he did this all while stripping insurance away from 10 million Americans. I think the most impressive part is the deficit hasn't decreased at all.

[David Pakman @dpakman]

Yesterday, Trump said he doesn’t think about Americans’ financial situation, then immediately hopped on a plan to china with Elon Musk, the CEO of Nvidia, and “independent businessman” Eric Trump. His priorities are clear.

[Chasten Glezman Buttigieg @Chasten]

The same Duffys who threw endless fits on national television when Pete was working from our son's ICU bedside are now bragging about their multi-month, taxpayer-funded family road trip while gas and grocery prices soar for American families because of Trump's war of choice. How much more unfocused, unserious, and out of touch can you be?

[Joel White @joelwhite94]

I love how Nebraska women's sports are led by women: Volleyball, Basketball, Softball, and Gymnastics. It's awesome to see a University choose women to be in charge of the sports they promote.

Did the Orange Man start a war with Iran just so he could end it and add to his fake total? I knew he had a Hero Complex, but still

[Aaron Rupar @atrupar]

Trump: "I ended 8 wars, and if we add Iran and Lebanon, that will be 10 wars ended"

[Acyn @Acyn]

McGowan: Can just let me speak for like one fricken second, bro?

Rothman: Sorry.

McGowan: There was a deal and Trump came in and said, I can get a better deal. And he ripped it up and he didn't get a better deal. And then he went into that country at the request of another country's leader, and he spent $50 billion and killed thousands of civilians and at least 13 American soldiers and hundreds of American soldiers are injured. We've hurt our bases. We've hurt our radar. People hate the country now. We had a president say that we're going to destroy an entire civilization…. That does not make you a good negotiator. That doesn't make you a good guy. It makes you psychotic.
