The New Mexico Attorney General's Office says Trump's Southern District of New York has refused to provide his office with unredacted Epstein files to aid in its investigation of Epstein's Zorro Ranch.

[Mike Nellis @MikeNellis]

So apparently, the Secret Service is FURIOUS at JD Vance for using a military helicopter to fly his son to his fucking golf lesson. These people are ridiculous. Could you imagine if Kamala Harris did this?!

"Riddle me this: when Obama ran intelligence, the election was secure and Donald Trump won in 2016.

When Biden ran the government and the intelligence, the election was secure and Trump ran in 2024.

But when Donald Trump and all of his boobs were running US national security, it got all effed up. Is that the theory?"

[Republicans against Trump @RpsAgainstTrump]

The Wall Street Journal Editorial Board tears apart Trump’s tariffs in a blistering editorial:

“The President is right that his tariffs are at work—in destroying U.S. jobs and raising prices. The U.S. has lost some 75,000 manufacturing jobs since January 2025, including 25,900 in motor vehicle and parts production...

there’s no question his tariffs are raising costs for U.S. manufacturers.…Mr. Trump and his advisers claim that foreigners pay his border taxes, but the evidence shows that U.S. companies, workers and consumers are picking up most of the tab.

The Anderson Economic Group estimates that auto tariffs on Canada and Mexico alone added about $1,600 to the cost of each car made in the U.S. last year. While auto makers absorbed some of the Trump tariff costs, they also passed on a large share to customers…Call it the Trump tax.”

[Elizabeth Warren @SenWarren]

This is a BIG red flag.

Ahead of the midterms, Donald Trump FIRED all members of the independent Election Assistance Commission—people confirmed unanimously by the Senate to make sure we have free and fair elections.

We can't let Trump rig the next election.

[Kyle Griffin @kylegriffin1]

BREAKING: The Trump White House just ousted all three sitting members of the U.S. Election Assistance Commission — hamstringing the bipartisan agency ahead of the midterms.

The EAC helps state and local officials run elections, including by certifying election equipment. https://t.co/DBaRuFaWJB

The sitting president of the United States had to pay $5 million to a woman he raped and defamed, and not one person in his entire cult of a party is calling for his resignation.

Not one.

[Joyce Alene @JoyceWhiteVance]

Any other FBI Director would have resigned before this story broke. The real news here is that Trump is willing to tolerate this.

NY Times investigative Reporter Eric Lipton breaks down his investigation into how President Trump and Howard Lutnick's families stand to profit from a $1.6 billion mining deal with Kazakhstan.

White House officials secretly awarded a no-bid contract worth up to $500m for the construction of the East Wing ballroom in an unusual arrangement that sidestepped typical contracting procedures designed to control costs, according to a copy of the agreement

On March 23, more than $800 million was staked on the chance of oil prices dropping. Fifteen minutes later, an announcement from the president sent the price of oil plummeting by more than 10%.

It has not been determined if the trade was made with inside information or if the trader was in the U.S. https://t.co/AqaC2EBMVM

[Rep. James Walkinshaw @Rep_Walkinshaw]

I’ve seen some of the files the DOJ is hiding.

They include records contradicting Trump’s claim that he kicked Epstein out of Mar-a-Lago.

Those redactions weren’t about protecting survivors. They were about protecting Trump from embarrassment.

End the cover-up.

[Amy Siskind @Amy_Siskind]

Trump‘s and Lutnick‘s sons have been involved in 14 rare mineral deals that were collectively financed or will be financed by $8.9 billion US taxpayer money, as Trump seeks to find partnerships to get at these minerals. It’s one of the most disgusting displays of kleptocracy so far!
I gifted this article so you can read it.

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.

New research from @nytimes finds that the US government is actively doing "critical minerals" deals with FOURTEEN different companies that have financial ties to the Trump and/or Lutnick families - deals worth around $9 billion in all:

Ossoff: "Citizens United was the most destructive court decision in modern American history. It's unleashed a flood of secret money, corporate money, billionaire money on both sides. Donald Trump's rise is a symptom of this deeper disease. Our task is not just to contain his wickedness, but to cure the rot that gave rise to it."

[Peter Baker @peterbakernyt]

Trump ripped up the walkway between the West Wing and the mansion to replace it with polished African granite carved in Italy. "Paid for by me," he claimed. Except that's not true. Taxpayers paid $689,232, per documents obtained by @michaelscherer https://t.co/7l2bkD0MIH

Just the Speaker of the House pledging that if you vote Republican he will continue to make sure all the corruption and criminality happening in the Trump admin will be covered up by him and his do-nothing committee chairs. https://t.co/ESI9rxdgFX

🚨HOLY SHIT: Thomas Massie is spitting some FACTS right now that should SHUT MAGA UP:

“I think it's ironic that we control the House, Senate, Supreme Court, and the White House, and we're yelling 'election fraud'? I mean, we won all the damn elections.”

[Furkan Gözükara @FurkanGozukara]

🚨 DISGUSTING: Top journalist Maggie Haberman exposes a massive extortion scheme inside the White House.

She confirms Trump relentlessly harassed his own Commerce Secretary until he paid up.

He openly brags in the Oval Office about securing a 25 million dollar bribe!
