WATCH: Shots fired at near Old West End Festival in Toledo, Ohio, reports of multiple victims.

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.

Multibillionaire Ken Griffin just gave $2,500,000 to Susan Collins’s super PAC (after she voted four times to cut his taxes).

I look forward to raising Ken Griffin’s taxes, and banning him, and all billionaires, from buying elections.

Remarkable legal declaration by a fired J6 prosecutor defending the cases brought against the rioters and decrying that POTUS' new compensation fund could end up making payments to the violent defendants he prosecuted.

The Trump admin, both in his first term and his second term, has lost nearly every single lawsuit involving direct challenges to “sanctuary” policies or challenges to retaliation against “sanctuary” cities.

NEW: We obtained a not-yet-public FARA filing revealing how Brad Parscale has directed $13 million from Israel to Republican digital strategy firms run by some of his long time allies, along with to a subsidiary of Salem Media itself, where he is an exec.

With @nick_clevelands at @theintercept and @RStatecraft

The new filing sheds light on a more detailed web of interconnected companies and political operatives capitalizing on Parscale’s contract with the Israeli government. Many of the companies getting work as part of Parscale’s Israel contract are being reported here for the first time.

Samuel Alito’s son has worked as a lawyer inside Trump’s Treasury Department since early last year. The administration hid it.

No public resume, no LinkedIn, no mention on the Treasury website, outdated bar listings. Four former officials confirmed it.

The public was never told.

Here is why that matters.

Philip Alito served as an attorney-adviser in Treasury’s general counsel office, briefed on department matters across the board, while the Supreme Court took up a case in which the Treasury Department was a named defendant.

The department never disclosed the connection in court.

Justice Alito did not recuse.

The federal recusal law is plain. A justice must step aside in any case where his impartiality might reasonably be questioned.

That is the test.

Not whether anyone can prove influence but whether a reasonable person looking at this would doubt it. A justice ruling on cases involving the very agency that employs his son fails that test on its face.

And Treasury sits at the center of many upcoming issues, including the fight over Trump’s $1.776 billion dollar fund to reward the January 6th rioters he pardoned. That fight could be headed to the Court too.

This is exactly why the honor system has failed.

The Supreme Court is the only court in America with no enforceable code of conduct. I support withholding funding from the Court until the justices adopt a binding code with real recusal review.

Congress holds the power of the purse.

We should use it.

BREAKING: The US Justice Department is seeking the names, addresses, and banking information of Reddit and X users, per Bloomberg.

The US Attorney's Office for Washington, led by Jeanine Pirro, a close ally of President Donald Trump, has subpoenaed the social media companies as part of criminal investigations, asking for personal information on at least two anonymous posters behind accounts that have chided immigration enforcement efforts.

[Jesus Freakin Congress @TheJFreakinC]

🚨BREAKING: A manager at a local diner asked ICE agents for a warrant before they searched a private areas of the business… and their response… slamming him to the ground, and putting a knee in his back, leaving him injured.

Because apparently exercising your constitutional rights is now being treated like obstruction.

According to witnesses, ICE agents were chasing someone who ran into the restaurant after a traffic stop. The manager reportedly told them they could not just storm through the kitchen without judicial authorization.

Because the Fourth Amendment is still a thing… even though ICE agents keep pretending it isn’t.

Law enforcement cannot just search private areas of a business because they feel like it. A kitchen, in a restaurant, is not a public space.

When agents do not have consent, exigent circumstances, or a valid warrant signed by a judge… then managers have every right to question that search.

That is literally how constitutional protections work.

And the fact that the manager was injured, after asserting those rights, should outrage everyone.

Rights either apply to everyone… or they are not rights at all.

BREAKING: Adam Hoffman has been released from jail for "good behavior."

Hoffman is the 49-year-old Waco, TX attorney who faced life without parole for repeatedly raping a young boy, until Texas AG Ken Paxton offered him 1 day in jail and no need to register as a sex offender. A judge increased his sentence to a whopping 60 days. He got out in 30 days.

In the era of #ArtificialIntelligence, when human dignity is threatened by new forms of dehumanization, ours is the pressing duty to remain profoundly human. We must lovingly safeguard the grandeur of humanity bestowed upon us and revealed in its fullness in Christ, the splendor of which no machine can ever replace. #MagnificaHumanitas
