BREAKING

U.S. Congressman Thomas Massie:

“Just withhold foreign aid to Israel for a month and they’ll stop bombing their neighbors — instant peace.”

“Israel has been, and continues to be, the biggest welfare recipient from American tax payers.”

🚨 Tennessee’s Republican House Speaker went to prison after stealing taxpayer dollars.

Trump just gave him a pardon.

Pete Hegseth has never been fit to run the Pentagon. This week proves it again.

He just blocked nine Navy officers from promotions they earned. A board of senior admirals picked them on merit.

Three are women.

Two are Black men.

The result is a 22-person admiral list with zero women, in a Navy that’s 21% women and 38% sailors of color.

Pentagon rules are clear. A Secretary can only pull an officer for serious failings of character, conduct, or competence. These officers had none. Their crime?
Attending a diversity event years ago. One was flagged for recruitment outreach she did TWENTY YEARS AGO.

Nearly 60% of the senior officers Hegseth has fired are women or Black.

He purged a chairman of the Joint Chiefs.

He pushed out the first woman ever to lead the Navy.

And he won’t explain himself. Not to Democrats. Not even to Republicans.
Then he reportedly tried to muscle his own aide onto the list. A guy who didn’t even qualify.

So let’s be honest about what this is.

He isn’t raising the bar. He’s rigging it.

He isn’t picking the best. He’s picking his own. Every officer who serves with honor now has to wonder if merit even matters anymore.

This man should never have been confirmed. He should not be Secretary of anything. He is gutting the finest military on earth to fight a culture war. Our service members will pay for it. So will our security.

He should resign in disgrace. https://t.co/PMUJ3UtrCW

This morning, I observed several mega master hearings — a new tactic the Trump administration is using where up to 100 people appear before an immigration judge as if they are on an assembly line.

Trump has turned our immigration system into a factory, denying due process and ignoring the law to indiscriminately and illegally remove our immigrant community members from this country.

This is a blatant violation of due process, and it must be stopped.

[Epstein File Search @epsteinsearchin]

An FBI 302 interview summary, the kind survivors gave under oath, names her clients in plain type.

Epstein sent her to give an erotic massage to Glenn Dubin, the billionaire hedge fund manager. She was paid cash.

The same memo states she was 16 years old at the time.

I will soon be introducing a bill to give the public a 50% ownership stake in the largest AI companies in America.

This would guarantee that the trillions created by AI are used to improve the lives of all of us — and block oligarch decisions that harm the American people.

This morning in Palestine, Israel took four Palestinian female students hostage during a raid on the town of Birzeit in Ramallah.
The four female are students at the renowned Birzeit University. Three of them were kidnapped from their homes

Jesse Watters of all people shouldn’t be criticizing Texas Senate Candidate James Talarico for not being married at 37 after he cheated on his wife Noelle with the Associate producer of his Fox News show who’s 14 years younger than him. So much for family values.

🚨 High profile Trump supporters Oren, Tal, and Alon Alexander have been convicted of drugging and raping dozens of women.

They face a minimum of 15 years in prison.

[Amber Woods @AmberWoods100]

Do you get it yet?

All the billionaires have private islands, compounds, bunkers and escape plans.

Do you really think they intend to stay here and live with the consequences of the policies they are supporting for another country?

Do you think they’ll be the ones struggling with medical bills, inflation, or sending their children off to war?

The people with the most power have the easiest exits once America is entirely gutted.

[Grant Certiorari @GrantCertiorari]

Call me crazy, but I want my tax dollars to go towards feeding hungry kids instead of bombing Iran.

Trump announces Ambassador to Türkiye is billionaire Tom Barrack (yes, the same Tom Barrack from the Epstein files)

[Headquarters @HQNewsNow]

Trump has just appointed Bill Pulte to serve as Acting Director of National Intelligence.

Pulte has zero experience in national security or intelligence.

[Rep. Mike Levin @RepMikeLevin]

Let me get this straight.

Howard Lutnick, Trump’s Commerce Secretary, got caught lying about his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein. Democrats grilled him about it and finally got him to agree to testify before the House Oversight Committee.

Four weeks later, Lutnick wrote a $5 million check to the super PAC that funds House Republicans, including members who sit on that committee. Then he showed up for a closed-door interview where, despite pushback from Democrats, no cameras or recordings were allowed.

This is the most corrupt administration in American history and it’s not even close.

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.

[Anonymous @YourAnonNews]

Did you know that Trump pardoned 77 people that stole from Medicare.
Is Trump selling pardons? That would be enough to send Trump away.

[Suzie rizzio @Suzierizzo1]

Now this makes total sense Trump allegedly bought stock in UFC’s parent Company while promoting the fights at the White House and they’re selling special VIP tickets which cost $1.5 million a piece too.

You know what to do ‼️

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

[Blue Georgia @BlueGeorgia]

The Georgia GOP is corrupt to the core.

An independent investigation found that Derek Dooley — the clown running to unseat Jon Ossoff — had family members receive millions in taxpayer-funded state business, then donated $100K+ to Brian Kemp's PAC, which boosted Dooley's Senate campaign.

State Rep. Anne Allen Westbrook: "This raises unmistakable indications of corruption and urgent concerns of pay-to-play politics, and Dooley and Kemp have no shame in any of this."

[Furkan Gözükara @FurkanGozukara]

🚨 BOMBSHELL! Lawrence O'Donnell reveals a federal judge is actively investigating Donald Trump himself. The Trump administration deliberately filed a frivolous lawsuit against the IRS to illegally force a massive settlement.

Washington is running a global mafia syndicate!
