@CCSDMaskUp Still eating organic strawberries and blueberries. No issues. Ridiculous advice to skip all fresh produce when it could take weeks or months to track. Thank DOGE!
🚨BREAKING: The drained Reflecting Pool did not reveal any slices. Instead, tire marks were visible, obvious damage from Trump’s vanity drive in a fleet of 10-ton vehicles for no reason at all. He ruined his own project, then lied and blamed the citizens who paid for it.
CNBC ranked the 10 worst states to live in based on the quality of life in each of them. Using Trump’s vernacular, these “shithole” states all share one common characteristic, but I just can’t put my finger on it?
The government just paid a French oil company $2.5 BILLION of YOUR tax dollars... to kill American wind energy.
Not to build it. To make it disappear.
TotalEnergies had two offshore wind farms ready to go. One off North Carolina, one off New York. Combined, they would have powered hundreds of thousands of homes.
The Department of the Interior paid TotalEnergies $795 million to walk away from both, and banned the company from ever building offshore wind in the U.S. again.
Here's the part that should stop you cold:
That $795 million isn't just a payout. It's a condition. TotalEnergies has to take that money and pour it into oil, gas, and LNG projects instead.
The government is paying a company, with your tax dollars, to convert clean energy into fossil fuel. On purpose, by design.
And it didn't stop there.
Invenergy took $765 million to drop four more offshore leases, same condition attached: oil and gas only.
Bluepoint Wind, a 2.4 gigawatt project off New York, folded too. So did Golden State Wind, a floating wind farm planned for the waters off central California.
These weren't early-stage ideas. Ports were already being built to support them. California alone has sunk over $100 million into port and mooring infrastructure for a project that may never get finished.
Over $2.5 billion in taxpayer money, across four separate deals, all pointed the same direction: away from wind, straight into fossil fuel.
Meanwhile, a wind farm that did get finished, Vineyard Wind off Massachusetts, is already saving families $1.4 billion on their power bills over the next 20 years. That's the version of this we're not choosing.
Seven states are suing over the TotalEnergies deal alone. California's Attorney General just filed a separate case over the rest.
Since when does the government bribe companies to pick oil over wind?

🇮🇪 Irish singer Enya (65) has never married or had children. Instead, she chose to buy a castle back in 1997 and has lived there ever since with her cats.
Reports that the White House has dismissed the remaining members of the Election Assistance Commission — all of whom were unanimously confirmed by the Senate, including a commissioner appointed by President Trump himself — should concern every American, regardless of party, because the EAC was established by Congress as an independent, bipartisan body to help states administer secure and credible elections.
If these reports are accurate, removing every remaining commissioner just months before the 2026 midterm elections is an extraordinary step that demands an immediate explanation from the administration and raises profound concerns about political interference in the institutions that support our elections.
NPR did learn that there's a trick if you are applying in person in Washington and do not want a passport with Trump's image: Choose extra pages. The State Department says the 250th commemorative passport is only available in the standard, 28-page book
Trump is rolling back dozens of gun regulations, putting countless lives in danger and making us all less safe. This is dangerous and reckless.

Ukraine 🇺🇦 did not intercept a single one of the 23 Iskander ballistic missiles fired at Kyiv tonight because it ran out of PAC-3 interceptors, and the US 🇺🇸 doesn’t send more
Putin is getting exactly what he wanted from Trump, a defenseless Ukraine which can be bombed endlessly
I hope everyone had a great 4th of July. I know @realDonaldTrump and family did.
250 years ago we declared independence from a king who ran the colonies as a family business. In just 18 months the Trumps have made King George look like an amateur.
A $620 million Pentagon loan, the largest in the program’s history, to a company Don Jr.’s firm bought into three months before.
An Air Force drone contract to a startup the princelings took public through a golf course company they own a piece of.
The Army’s largest drone motor order ever, to a company where Don Jr. sits on the board and holds millions in stock.
A $24 million Pentagon robotics contract to the company that employs Eric as Chief Strategy Advisor.
A stake in the largest undeveloped tungsten deposit on earth, in Kazakhstan, backed by $1.6 billion in US government support.
Jared’s fund seeded with $2 billion from the Saudi crown prince, now $6.2 billion, 99% of it foreign money from Gulf governments. Over $110 million in fees collected from the Saudis alone. He negotiates American foreign policy with the governments that pay him.
$2.3 billion from crypto ventures their father regulates. More than a million people bought in and lost $2.3 billion. The money didn’t grow. It simply moved from the subjects pockets to the crown’s coffers.
And the next one is already drafted. A proposed ATF rule that will allow guns to be shipped straight to your front door. The government’s own estimate is 3.3 million home gun deliveries a year. Don Jr. sits on the board of the online gun megastore built to cash in. He holds 300,000 shares.
And that’s only the fraction they’ve allowed us to see. Not one subpoena served. Not one search executed. Why hide anything when you own the investigators?
Me? They searched a laptop for six years. Federal prosecutors. Grand juries. Subpoena power. Congressional hearings. They found nothing. I made about $200k a year selling paintings when my Dad was President, and they made my paintings part of an impeachment inquiry.
For six years they’ve asked Where’s Hunter? What about the laptop?
Wrong questions. The right one is 250 years old. Does America belong to a family?
They’ve given their answer. Long live the King.
