RTs don’t necessarily imply endorsement. But I do have opinions, including that honesty, integrity and good character should matter in society and politics.

"The UFC event captures something about this moment in our history.

After all, it’s vulgar, it’s violent, it’s commercial, it’s grandiose, it’s tacky, and it dishonors a place once thought worthy of care and respect. In other words, it’s Donald Trump."

The $TRUMP meme coin generated about $616 million for the Trump family, while buyers lost more than $700 million, according to Reuters' estimates. The coin has tumbled 97% from its January 2025 peak https://t.co/D6RjrGkMnV @specialreports

[Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley]

Wait, is this for real? Trump spent $60 million of our taxpayer funds to host a UFC fight and then is selling UFC coin to line his family’s pockets. The Trump corruption swamp is a mile deep. https://t.co/jUtLu4cTaz

Scott Jennings wrote this on the afternoon of January 6, 2021.

Back when he was a real patriot.

“This is literally an insurrection.

“President Donald Trump caused this insurrection with his lies and conspiracy theories about the election process being rigged against him. It was not stolen, but this madness was fomented by the President and his top advisers over the past several months.”

“Let me be clear: These rioters are not Republicans. These are not conservatives. These are not patriots bursting into the US Capitol, accosting police officers and destroying public property.

“These are domestic terrorists, and they ought to be treated like any other terrorist uprising with the full force and fury of the US government.”

[Rep. Mike Levin @RepMikeLevin]

You have to read this. 

Trump demolished the East Wing of the White House and replaced it with a private ballroom funded by corporate donors. Now we know what they got for it. 

More than half of the publicly identified donors to that $400 million project won new or expanded federal contracts worth more than $50 billion in the 6 months after they gave. Most of those same companies also had federal enforcement actions against them suspended by the Trump Administration during the same period. 

There is no honest word for that other than corruption.

This is Riley T Carter and he was a MAGA Congressman in WA. He was a proponent on making kids safe again until he was arrested and convicted of incest,child rape and the molestation of a 11 year old family member.He was sentenced to 46 years in prison.

@EdKrassen @grok how accurate are Trump’s claims about how many coal plants and windmills China built last year?

[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.

Trump suggests January 6 was an inside job: "The FBI said, 'Go in, Go in!'"

(Trump in fact was president during January 6 and he hand-picked the leader of the FBI.)

[Rep. Mike Levin @RepMikeLevin]

For more than 30 years, a federal court order has required the prompt release of children in immigration detention. Courts have interpreted that to mean no more than 20 days. 

The Trump Administration is not only violating that court order, but they are fighting in court to end it entirely. 

During Trump’s second term, more than 6,300 children have been detained, 97% of whom have no criminal record, and some of whom are only two months old.  

This Administration has gone to extraordinary lengths to make sure you never see what is happening to these children.

WOW! Imagine if Hunter Biden invested in a company and three months later the White House rushed a $620,000,000 Pentagon loan to it.

That’s exactly what Don Jr. did with Vulcan Elements. Stephanie Ruhle calls it corruption. Republicans call it “Tuesday.” The valuation jumps from $200 million to $2 billion.

Your tax dollars. Their bank account.

[Gianl1974 @Gianl1974]

You said nothing.

He interfered with the release of the Epstein files. You said nothing.

He took over the Kennedy Center and renamed it after himself. You said nothing.

He accepted a $400 million airplane as a personal gift. You said nothing.

He threatened Canada, Cuba, Denmark, Greenland, Venezuela, Colombia, and Brazil. You said nothing.

He tariffed just about everyone but Russia, causing inflation and instability worldwide. You said nothing.

He attacked a nation during mediated negotiations. You said nothing.

His ill-conceived war killed 175 children on day one. You said nothing.

He alienated and insulted our allies. You said nothing.

His ICE Army terrorized and murdered U.S. citizens. You said nothing.

He committed murder on the high seas. You said nothing.

He co-opted the Justice Department and directed it to prosecute his political enemies. You said nothing.

It’s time to start talking.

Trump in 2008: Anyone who invades the Middle East under false pretenses should be impeached.

[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.

🚨 Trump has pardoned billionaire Changpeng Zhao after his company made a deal with Trump worth tens of millions.

Zhao was imprisoned for laundering money for terrorist groups and child abuse websites.

[DevilDog Diaries🇺🇲 @cjdelgross]

The swamp is alive and well!

The Bureau of Prisons just handed a $106M federal contract to LEO Technologies to use AI to monitor inmate phone calls.

The twist? LEO’s CEO is Elliott Broidy, the disgraced GOP fundraiser who pleaded guilty to running an illegal, back-channel foreign lobbying campaign, only to be pardoned by Trump in 2021.

A man convicted of selling access to the highest levels of the US government is now being trusted with a massive federal surveillance contract. You can’t make this up.
