[Adam Schiff @SenAdamSchiff]

At his confirmation hearing, Todd Blanche told me that if an ethics lawyer instructed him to recuse himself from cases involving his former client, Donald Trump, he would.

A new report shows that's exactly what ethics lawyers advised.

I'm launching an inquiry into whether Blanche followed that guidance.

[Pete Buttigieg @PeteButtigieg]

You could start by walking down the hall. See why your boss keeps pardoning people convicted of money laundering, wire fraud, tax evasion, and securities fraud.

[Gavin Newsom @GavinNewsom]

The slush fund.

The ballroom.

The IRS get-out-of-jail-free card.

Donald Trump isn’t serving the American people — he’s serving himself. And he thinks you’re dumb enough to fall for it.

🚨 Epstein survivors say Blanche lied under oath

[Rep. Jim McGovern @RepMcGovern]

Remember: it was like pulling teeth to get Republicans to fund the 9/11 Victim Compensation Fund.

But it took them no time at all to create a $1.8 billion Insurrection Slush Fund to pay off the legal fees of the January 6th rioters who beat cops.

These are sick, corrupt people.

[The Lincoln Project @ProjectLincoln]

Absolutely insane levels of corruption happening right before your eyes.

[Rep. Jim McGovern @RepMcGovern]

🚨BREAKING: Republicans just voted AGAINST my amendment to stop Trump's $1.8 billion slush fund from bailing out the convicted felons who assaulted cops on January 6th.

You read that right. They blocked us from even debating the issue on the House floor.

Beyond shameful.

Shapiro: Somehow, he can’t find the money to pay for healthcare, but he can steal from you to pay off the criminals who stormed the Capitol.

[Ounka @OunkaOnX]

Thomas Massie: "I would have come out sooner, but I had to call my opponent to concede - and it took a while to find him in Tel Aviv."

Massie lost the election. But he just exposed the entire operation in one sentence.

[Joe Walsh @WalshFreedom]

Trump is looting the country on an unprecedented scale and the lesson/reason is because we don’t have a legislative branch. The past 16 months is what America looks like without a Congress.

@SecWar War should not be business, so sad

[Furkan Gözükara @FurkanGozukara]

Rep. Thomas Massie says Kash Patel testified that Epstein acted alone.

Then Patel told the House there was no evidence of co-conspirators beyond Ghislaine Maxwell.

Massie says that either means ignorance or perjury.

[Ron Filipkowski @RonFilipkowski]

The journalist who is being sued by Kash Patel and reportedly being investigated by the FBI is out with a new story. Is there a Pulitzer for being a fearless badass? If so, she should win it. https://t.co/bSnJemJ1eo

[Jo @JoJoFromJerz]

@RapidResponse47 @MarkHamill Remember when your guy posted this? Cuz I do.

[The Lincoln Project @ProjectLincoln]

Every journalist should be asking what the hell is going on with this guy's health that they aren't telling us.

[No Lie with Brian Tyler Cohen @NoLieWithBTC]

Unearthed reports reveal that RFK Jr. fired every full-time CDC cruise ship sanitation inspector ahead of the Hantavirus cruise ship outbreak.

[Viral Reel Addict @ViralReelAddict]

That moment when Kash Patel, the director of the FBI, said: "I’ve never heard of Stew Peters"

Meanwhile Kash Patel made eight on air appearances on his podcast.

[Congresswoman Sara Jacobs @RepSaraJacobs]

While YOU are budgeting to pay all your bills, Donald Trump is profiting off the presidency to the tune of $6.5 billion. It’s the most blatant corruption we’ve ever seen in the White House.

[Mike Levin @MikeLevin]

There is no spinning this one.

Senate Republicans just slipped one billion dollars of your tax money into a reconciliation package for security work tied to the President’s new White House ballroom, the same ballroom he promised would cost taxpayers nothing and be paid for entirely by private donors he refuses to name.

The ballroom itself is pegged at 400 million dollars.

Republicans want you to pay one billion on top of it.

Why are families who can barely afford gas being asked to write a blank check for the East Wing project of a man who does not even pump his own?
