This would be a scandal that would have ended any other presidency.
Qatar gave a $400 million Boeing 747 to the Pentagon. Trump calls it a “free” gift. It is not free. The Air Force just spent months retrofitting it with secure communications, missile defense, and electromagnetic shielding.
The cost of that work is classified.
Estimates say north of a billion.
The number is enormous, and you are paying it.
Now the part they bury.
Under the memorandum signed by the Pentagon and Qatar, ownership of the plane transfers to Trump’s presidential library foundation when he leaves office. His own son says it will sit in the lobby of a future Trump hotel.
So follow the chain.
A foreign government hands a luxury jet to a sitting president. American taxpayers rebuild it from the inside out. Then Trump takes it home.
A gift you use for four years and then keep is still a gift. The Constitution bars foreign gifts to a president without the consent of Congress. This one never got that consent.
We are paying a fortune to gift wrap a luxury jet that ends up in his private collection.
Grift in plain sight.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s daughter in law Amaryllis Fox Kennedy, who also managed his 2024 presidential campaign, was serving as a CIA officer while she presided an offshore corporation owned by her father.

Insane story. Though-many knew that this cult-like group eats toenails and does all sorts of weird shit. Ask anyone who lives in Hawaii. I guess about time someone finally reported it. Though the influence of this group on a cabinet member is unsettling to say the least. Also, how does this come out via press, and not US security/CI pros?
Republicans looked the country in the eye and made a promise. When they rewrote the food stamp program last year, they said children would not be touched.
Pregnant women would not be touched.
Families with young kids would not be touched. They said it on the House floor, on the record, in front of everyone.
A year later we know the truth.
More than 776,000 children have been cut off from food assistance. In the states that track participation by age, kids make up nearly half of everyone who lost benefits.
These are kids who went to bed hungry because a politician wanted a talking point.
We must be a country that feeds its children. We used to believe that was the bare minimum. Take care of the kid who is hungry through no fault of their own.
The people who broke that promise should have to answer for it, and in November they will.

If you've seen traffic cones on Boston statues this week, blame the Scots.
The Tartan Army brought one of Glasgow's most famous traditions to the World Cup.

@mikenelson586 so just what does he want instead? to bulldoze his way through? to elbow his way past leaders like his boss did to the queen? to claim only he matters? maybe narcissism can be learned, or maybe he just grew up that way.
@BillKristol if the peeling means the pool will regain it's original granite surface, then it's actively self-healing! then all we'll need to do is recover those millions from trump's assets. (was about to type estate.)
The book describes how, after Trump redecorated the Oval Office to fill it with gold flourishes, someone asked the president about the likelihood that the next president would undo all that he had done. Trump retorted: “Cubans love gold.” https://t.co/jZJ101nWmr
In countries that have successfully reversed democratic backsliding in recent years—from Poland in 2023 to Hungary in 2026—opposition movements made prosecuting those who have broken laws a central campaign issue.
A brand new bridge between Detroit and Canada is finished and ready to open. It would speed up traffic for millions of trucks, cut delays for American businesses, and help the auto industry that employs people in every state. There is just one problem.
Donald Trump won’t let it open.
Here is why.
The family that owns the old bridge stands to lose business when the new one opens. So in January, they gave one million dollars to a pro-Trump super PAC.
Weeks later they met with Trump’s Commerce Secretary.
He called Trump.
Hours after that, Trump announced he would block the new bridge. The opening was set for June 12. It got canceled the day before. The bridge sits there finished and empty.
Now here is the part that should make every taxpayer angry.
Canada paid for the entire bridge.
Every dollar. And the United States already owns half of it for free. Trump is holding up a bridge we got for nothing, to protect a donor who wrote him a check, while picking a fight with our closest ally and biggest trading partner.
This is corruption in plain sight.
A billionaire pays, and the President delivers. American workers and businesses pay the price.
Open the bridge. A government should work for the people, not for whoever writes the biggest check.
