The new peace deal Trump negotiated with Iran isn't $300 Billion. It's a $340 billion dollar payment by the USA to Iran. Your tax dollars all because Trump couldn't say NO to Netanyahu.
Trump turned 80 with cage fights on the White House lawn. Pure distraction. Underneath it: Epstein files, a supposed end to Trump’s Iran war, and the most brazen attempted kleptocracy this country has seen. This week is going to matter.

The DOJ is keeping the part of Trump's IRS settlement in place that shields Trump, his family and his businesses from IRS audits
This is outrageously corrupt. Don't let it fly under the radar.
CREW President Donald Sherman breaks it down.
Trump lies constantly and he is desperate for the Iran war to be over. So desperate that he’s giving Iran 20 times the money Obama did, and getting nothing in return, except an open strait that Iran will charge a “maintenance fee” to all ships. Well done, bozo
Finally, we have a preliminary agreement to begin tentative negotiations over the hypothetical path forward to consider possible arrangements to discuss steps forward that may or may not be included in a notional accord over a working group that could possibly meet by a to-be-determined Teams call regarding initial steps for a peace accord.
One question nobody seems eager to answer:
What role did Jared Kushner play in this deal?
Kushner is not an elected official.
He was never confirmed by the Senate.
Congress never approved him to negotiate on behalf of the American people.
Yet multiple reports place him at the center of the U.S.-Iran talks. If this agreement really includes tens or hundreds of billions of dollars in sanctions relief, frozen assets, reconstruction funds, or other concessions, Americans deserve to know:
Who negotiated it?
Who authorized it?
And why is a private citizen with extensive financial interests in the Middle East helping shape one of the largest foreign policy agreements in modern U.S. history?
Transparency shouldn't be optional.
#BREAKING: Hayes: “According to the NYTimes, the USPS has proposed a new rule that would allow it to REFUSE to deliver mail ballots in states that don’t turn over voter rolls to the federal government. That vaguely written rule released last week calls on states to compile lists of mail voters that postal service employees would use to screen ballots for eligibility. And if states refuse to comply, the post office could refuse to send their mail ballots. Can you imagine postal workers deputized by the Trump administration just refusing to deliver mail ballots to Californians? What about states that comply? Imagine postal workers at some place reviewing a state’s voter roll to determine who can vote and who can’t? Its unconstitutional, its chaotic, It’s maybe the wildest attempt yet to interfere in free and fair elections, short of course, of using federal agents to criminally investigate voting rights activists, to raid their office, maybe even perp walk them in for charges. That of course has been a classic old school tactic of election-rigging autocrats for generations around the world.” 😳
🚨DONALD TRUMP FELL ASLEEP AT HIS OWN UFC SPECTACLE
His White House UFC event was an enormous logistical headache and likely cost taxpayers millions.
It’s worse than you think:
⚫️ Secret Service deployment
⚫️ Presidential motorcade operations
⚫️ Air support and aviation assets
⚫️ Military and federal security personnel
⚫️ Temporary infrastructure and staging
⚫️ Barricades, fencing, checkpoints
⚫️ Additional law enforcement staffing
⚫️ Traffic control and road closures
⚫️ Emergency medical and response teams
⚫️ Communications and security equipment
⚫️ Event setup and cleanup
⚫️ Weather contingency operations
⚫️ Coordination across multiple federal agencies
⚫️ Disruptions to White House operations
⚫️ Security sweeps and venue preparation
All so Donald Trump could throw himself a massive UFC-themed birthday spectacle and reportedly fall asleep.
What a tremendous waste.
Imagine waking up tomorrow and every billionaire vanished.
Most people would still go to work.
Food would still be grown.
Roads would still be built.
Hospitals would still operate.
Now imagine every worker vanished.
That's the difference between wealth and value.
Trump’s White House UFC fight this weekend has required more than seven federal agencies, hundreds of staff working onsite daily and at least $60 million, according to a legal filing.
Quite a use of government resources for fight night. 🤔

"This Sunday night’s UFC spectacle on the South Lawn...captures something about this moment in our history.
It's vulgar, violent, commercial, grandiose, tacky, and it dishonors a place once thought worthy of care and respect. In other words, it’s Donald Trump."

Reuters found that some advocates with proven access to Trump's entourage can charge as much as $2 million for help seeking clemency, according to six people familiar with recent clemency acts https://t.co/dwmZImWRou @specialreports
Most people are asking whether Trump's election fraud claims are true.
They're asking the wrong question.
The real question is:
What happens if millions of Americans are convinced the next election is illegitimate before a single vote is counted?
I mapped out what is already happening, what comes next, and the worst-case scenario.
The picture is disturbing.

Social Security’s trust fund is now due to run low on money beginning in 2032.
The government acknowledged that the Trump administration’s immigration policies and tax cuts are expected to contribute to the insolvency. https://t.co/FpQywAm1Hv
Trump said something outside a press gaggle that I don’t think enough people caught.
A reporter called him out on the corruption. He gave three responses.
1. I have the right to do it.
2. He’s not stealing that much. A billion or two billion dollars. Not that much money. Classic Trump.
3. People don’t care.
That’s the permission structure. Our collective apathy is what they’re using to justify everything happening in Washington right now.
Please stand up and prove him wrong.
Eight government ethics experts told Reuters the Trump family's enriching itself from an industry the president's administration regulates — and that Trump has championed — represents a conflict of interest unlike anything seen in modern American history https://t.co/59TIOkot51
