Ex-Trump supporter: "I did believe that the election was stolen. I believed that the rioters were patriots until I switched off Fox News and started getting news and information from other places. That's when it finally hit."

Martha Stewart went to federal prison for what he’s openly bragging about.

Let me be VERY clear for those of you in the back. If bringing down the largest child sex trafficking ring in our known history will "collapse the government as we know it," then the government as we know it needs to collapse.

[Tim Hannan @TimHannan]

If you think liberals steal elections and control the weather but also let Republicans control all three branches of government you may be fucking stupid beyond repair.

[Julia Ioffe @juliaioffe]

The irony of Trump calling FIFA to overturn
a red card for Balogun because he knows the U.S. can’t win without Balogun, who only qualifies for the U.S. team because of birthright citizenship, which Trump just tried to overturn.

[Hunter Biden @HunterBiden]

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.

🚨 THIS INTERVIEW TOOK AN UNEXPECTED TURN.

🇺🇸 Reporter: "You've earned millions from crypto while serving in office. Were you aware of those deals?"

🇺🇸 Trump: "Yes. Nothing about it was illegal."

🇺🇸 Reporter: "Federal conflict-of-interest law exists to stop public officials from profiting from government positions."

🇺🇸 Trump: "I'm not familiar with that law."

One question. One answer. Millions are now debating whether America's rules apply equally to everyone.

If any ordinary public official admitted something similar, the legal consequences could have been severe.

That's what fearless journalism looks like. 🎤

[Joe Biden @JoeBiden]

Two hundred and fifty years ago, a group of Americans signed their names to a piece of parchment and made a promise no nation had ever made before: that we're all created equal, endowed by our Creator with unalienable rights — life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

We're the only nation in history built not on ethnicity, or blood, or geography but on an idea. That's always been what makes us exceptional. We chose that path 250 years ago but that’s where the work began, not where it ended. Every generation has had to choose it again. At Valley Forge, at Gettysburg, on the beaches of Normandy, in the streets of Selma. Americans recommitted themselves to the principles on which our nation was founded.

Now it's our turn.

There's nothing guaranteed about our democracy. We have to fight for it, defend it, and earn it. Over and over, year after year. That's not a burden. That's what it means to be an American.

250 years in, we still haven't fully lived up to those words in the Declaration. But we've never walked away from them, and this July 4, I hope all of us can commit to one thing: that we never will. I don't believe we're as divided as we're told we are. I've bet my whole life on the American people, and I'm not stopping now.

Happy 250th birthday, America. Our story isn't finished. Let's keep writing it together.

#BREAKING: Psaki: You’ve reviewed many presidential financial disclosures. What did you make of this monstrosity of 900 pages from Trump? 

Norm Eisen: “We’ve NEVER seen corruption like this in American history…Donald Trump is MONETIZING the presidency for himself, for his family, his cronies in and outside of the government, and the American people are the losers because these massive crypto deals, people have lost hundreds of millions of dollars when the value of these Trump-associated crypto currencies bottom out. Some of these companies have cratered, like ALT5 Sigma, associated with Trump’s family, with Witkoff’s family, massive losses in the value of that. You shouldn’t have a president who is regulating, or in Donald Trump’s case, failing to regulate crypto companies, or any other industry, while doing enormous profit taking…”

[Vatican News @VaticanNews]

Accepting the 38th Liberty Medal from the U.S. National Constitution Center, Pope Leo prayed that the 250th anniversary of the founding of the United States would be an occasion for a solemn recommitment to the fundamental ideals on which the country was founded, especially life and freedom.

[Rich Raho @RichRaho]

NEW: Pope Leo has written a letter to the US marking its 250th Anniversary; Leo writes: “Defending human life also includes welcoming, protecting, and assisting immigrants.. “

Hope. 🙏💙🕊
We've been back in Scotland for a few days.
On the flight home, what struck me was just how welcoming Americans are. I had reservations before going because of Trump, ICE, Palestine, etc. But what we found was that it didn't matter whether black/white, left/right, rich/poor, all the Americans we met were extremely hospitable & welcoming. (Thank you!🙏)
I think if we could get more common people talking with common people, & get the politicians out of the way, we would have a much better world.
America, the football results didn't go our way, but to paraphrase Casablanca, "We will always have Boston." 😘

Investment accounts owned by President Trump engaged in more than 300 previously undisclosed stock purchases on April 8, 2025, one day before his surprise announcement that he would pause a number of his tariffs, his financial disclosure report says. https://t.co/WqQb7csmVS

[Ed Krassenstein @EdKrassen]

BREAKING: NBC News is reporting that President Trump's investment accounts purchased over 300 stocks on the day before his tariffs were paused.

THE MOST CORRUPT PRESIDENT EVER! BY FAR!

I am officially nominating Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) for the Nobel Peace Prize.

No President in History has ended the same war so many times.

Our Dear Leader has ended the war with Iran at least 38 times by CNN’s count.

No President has ever done this before.

And he is nowhere near finished ending it.

It’s a record worthy of the Nobel committee’s recognition. Thank you for your attention to this matter!

🇺🇸 Trump at 8:00 PM: "Unlike Obama and Biden, we had a historic victory in Iran."

🇺🇸 Biden at 9:00 PM: "Yeah Absolutely historic. You haven’t been able to open the Strait of Hormuz for 109 days, 17 hours, and 38 min. It was open when I was in office. What a Loser." 😂 🔥

Absolute cinema by Biden🔥
