Keeping it really real

[Rep. Shontel Brown @RepShontelBrown]

The Trump Admin cut funding for screwworm detection and fired 25% of staff responsible for tracking the disease.

I’m embarrassed for the Secretary that her only answer is to blame the administration that left office a year and a half ago.

[Lakota Man @LakotaMan1]

The only people in the press who have been brave enough to ask that fucking pervert Trump the tough questions have been women.

Trump fear’s strong, opinionated women.

Because he’s a misogynistic coward.

BREAKING: Scott Pelley Just Made A Pretty Stunning Allegation.

According to Pelley, CBS leadership wanted a story about the killing of ICE protester Renée Good changed to better match Trump's version of events.

Pelley says he was told management wanted protesters portrayed as more violent and wanted Good described as driving toward the officer who shot her. He says the video evidence showed otherwise.

Then came the admission.

"There was a thumb on the scale for the president's version of events."

A veteran journalist with 37 years at CBS is alleging political pressure was applied to change the facts of a story.

That's a remarkable accusation.

[Morgan J. Freeman @mjfree]

I’m sorry but since when are we measuring reflecting pools against skyscrapers? The dementia is getting out of control.

🚨WHERE IS THE MEDIA??

Trump just said the number 25,000 is bigger than a MILLION. The decline of his brain is now catastrophic.

“Where Martin Luther King made his great speech…he had a million people and I had 25,000 people. I had more people.” Wow.

[Rep. Mike Levin @RepMikeLevin]

Trump wants to hand out 250 pardons this summer to celebrate America’s 250th birthday. 

And guess who’s lining up for a pardon? Ghislaine Maxwell, convicted of helping sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein recruit and groom underage girls. Sam Bankman-Fried, the crypto fraudster convicted of one of the biggest financial frauds in American history, who wiped out the life savings of thousands of ordinary people. Jho Low, accused of stealing $4.5 billion from his own country’s government. 

Welcome to the latest episode of the Pardon Papers. 

A presidential pardon is one of the most serious decisions a president can make. It exists for when the justice system genuinely gets something wrong, not to be handed out by the hundreds. 

The President of the United States is not a king. What Trump is doing is an abuse of power, plain and simple. I’m fighting for a constitutional amendment to put limits on it, because no president should be able to do this. Not now. Not ever.

[Viral Reel Addict @ViralReelAddict]

Trump pardoned 77 people that stole from Medicare.

This flew under the radar. I believe Trump is selling pardons which is enough to send Trump away.

[Mike Levin @MikeLevin]

Follow the money on this one. It is rotten to the core.

The Pentagon just lent $620,000,000 to a tiny North Carolina startup called Vulcan Elements. The company is two years old.

It had fewer than 50 employees.

And three months before the deal was announced, Donald Trump Jr.’s venture firm quietly took a stake in it.

Here is the part the administration tried to bury.

Of the dozens of companies the Pentagon was weighing, Vulcan was the only deal initiated by a top White House aide. That aide was Peter Navarro, a close friend of Trump Jr. The order came down to move fast.

One official put it plainly: The call came from the White House. We have to get this done.

Staff worked late nights to push it through in weeks. Deals like this normally take many months of vetting. And when it closed, Vulcan’s valuation jumped from about 200 million dollars to roughly 2 billion.

A windfall for the investors, including the president’s son.

This is public money. Your money.

Routed through the Pentagon to enrich the president’s family and their friends. The Bush administration’s own chief ethics lawyer called it corruption we pay for.

And there is more coming.

A drone parts company Trump Jr. holds a stake in is also under Pentagon review.

This is not a one-off. It is a pattern. The president’s family is treating the federal Treasury like a private bank, and the bill lands on every taxpayer.

PabloReports: What happened with the war powers vote?

Olszewski: The Republicans don’t have the votes, so they decided to take their bags and run home instead.

PabloReports: So they didn’t have the votes to continue the war, so instead of stopping the war they went home.

Olszewski: They closed up shop for the holiday, and in the meantime, the American people are paying tens of billions, we’re losing service members, and we’re getting crushed at the pump.

[Republicans against Trump @RpsAgainstTrump]

Not AI. Not SNL.

Meeting the Artemis II astronauts, Trump claimed he’s physically “very, very good” and fit to be an astronaut:

“I would have had no trouble making it. I’m physically very, very good.”

How is this real life?

[Joe Walsh @WalshFreedom]

Captain Bonespurs, the only president in history who refuses to release his academic records and confuses cognitive impairment tests with IQ tests, stood in front of Christina Koch and boasted that he could have been an astronaut because “it’s easy” and he’s “the smartest.”

Koch has dual degrees in Electrical Engineering and Physics, a Master’s in Electrical Engineering, 328 consecutive days in space, and 6 spacewalks.

He’s not a genius.

He’s a fucking moron.

[George Conway ⚖️🇺🇸 @gtconway3d]

Took a video of this cool shell formation on my beach walk.

If all of you repost it as many times as you can maybe some journalists will see it and do something about it

[CALL TO ACTIVISM @CalltoActivism]

🚨MAJOR BREAKING: Rep. Pat Ryan just revealed that Pete Hegseth ordered military members to an area in Kuwait with an ACTIVE WARNING they had ZERO defense against drone attacks and he IGNORED IT.

Six were then KILLED. Survivors blame Hegseth.

This is even WORSE than Benghazi.

[Brian Krassenstein @krassenstein]

Trump is so disrespectful. He literally cut in front of Queen Camilla while she was shaking hands.

Every day is another embarrassment for our country.

[Amy Siskind 🏳️‍🌈🇺🇸 @Amy_Siskind]

Don’t blink, the ballroom that has gone from a ballroom in its initial plan, to a national security tool, now according to three GOP Senators, should also be paid for by the American taxpayers. All $400 million of it!

There’s an election in 6 months. Vote them ALL OUT!

[Car Lot Danger™️ @DraxGeekyPundit]

[Anonymous @YourAnonCentral]

Lindsey Graham says that they are going to introduce legislation so that you, the tax payer, have to pay $400 million for Trump's ballroom, which, by the way, you won't be allowed to go inside because you are a poor peasant, it's for the lords and masters only.

[Micah Erfan @micah_erfan]

🚨 HOLY SH*T: Fox News just cut one of their reporters off as they seemed to indicate the shooting was a pre-planned false flag.

[Marco Foster @MarcoFoster_]

Seth Meyers reminds us how batshit crazy the last 3 weeks have been: Trump fired AG Pam Bondi. He posted a meme of himself as Jesus then said he thought it was a meme of himself as a doctor. He said the Pope is weak on crime. A MAGA podcaster said Trump is under demonic influence. Pete Hegseth read a fake bible verse from Pulp Fiction. Kash Patel thought he was fired because he got locked out of his computer. A FEMA official claims he once teleported to a Waffle House. Lindsey Graham was seen at Disney World by himself. RFK Jr. cut off a dead raccoon’s penis on the side of the road. Kristi Noem’s husband has giant fake balloon boobs.

Melania told the world she wasn't a victim. Yeah we know.

Melania isn't a victim. She received 40 million dollars from Bezos to strut around in expensive clothes.

She's no victim, she had the audacity to ask for Obama’s birth certificate.

She's no victim, she stole Michelle Obama’s speech.

She's no victim, she's a grifter just like her spouse. Selling everything from Melania coins to facial masks.

She's no victim. She’s a member of the Epstein Class who partied with pedophiles.

Melania is no victim.
