Why do we listen to a guy who changes his story depending on who he’s talking to. He sounds like a kid talking to his friends and then his parents.

[Rep. Mike Levin @RepMikeLevin]

$2.5 million. That’s what a convicted fraudster told fellow inmates he’d arranged to pay to get out of prison early. Not through an appeal, not through a judge, but through a phone call to the president. 

David Gentile defrauded 10,000 investors out of $1.6 billion and was sentenced to seven years. Less than two weeks later, Trump commuted his entire sentence. When federal prosecutors started investigating how that happened, a DOJ official called the U.S. Attorney running the case, and the investigation was shut down within months. 

Not because they ran out of evidence. Because someone in Washington decided they shouldn’t keep looking. 

Welcome to Episode 9 of The Pardon Papers.

🚨TRUMP HAS SEVERAL MENTAL LAPSES ON CAMERA

WTF. Trump just called it the "Islamic Republic of Japan," and called Zelenskyy “President Putin.” He even mispronounced Obama’s name.

WHERE IS JAKE TAPPER’S BOOK?

Gavin Newsom goes off on the Trump Family corruption:

Newsom: And I’m not talking about the $100,000 watches. I’m not talking about the guitars that he’s selling that you didn’t even know about, or the Bibles, or the sneakers. I’m not talking about all that.

I’m talking about what’s happening substantively with these kids and these investments, and the Pentagon contracts they’re receiving on rare earth minerals and drone companies, and all the stuff that’s happening with the Kushner family, the Witkoff family, the “Board of Peace,” which is about getting a piece of the Middle East.

Let’s talk about the UAE and high-value chips, where they’re getting a piece of our national security, where the Biden administration held off. But as long as you can get a deal done with the UAE on the private family businesses, then all of a sudden national security becomes less of an important talking point.

Or how about the tariff relief in places like Vietnam for the golf courses and the development deals, and the dozen other countries that he’s doing business in? How about all the corruption as it relates to the self-dealing with his resorts and all of his assets that the Secret Service and taxpayers are subsidizing? Or directing G7 investments? Or the emoluments issues across the spectrum every day? Or just the day trading literally behind the Oval Office desk, or showing up on your calendar at a company that you just invested in because you know that stock’s going to pop because you’re going to promote it the next day?

All of this happening—this open sewage system. You talk about draining the swamp. He gave it a presidential suite with gold leaf.

And you’re seeing this gross corruption at a scale and scope never before seen in modern American history. This is stuff I don’t even imagine exists at this scale in a year and a half, even in Putin’s Russia or Kim Jong-un’s North Korea.

@YourAnonNews Why isn’t he putting up full reps? Didn’t he claim he was strong?

[Brian Krassenstein @krassenstein]

There is no F—king way Trump is getting out of this one.

He falls asleep at the loud and exciting Knicks game, and then jolts awake suddenly.

What a low energy, sleepy, old man.

[Ed Krassenstein @EdKrassen]

Someone mocks Trump regarding the Epstein files with this amazing sign in San Francisco on Highway 24.

[Mike Levin @MikeLevin]

This is really stupid, and it’s not getting enough attention.

The Trump administration is pulling a working $368 million ocean monitoring system out of the water, equipment taxpayers already bought, built, and sank into the deep ocean.

And they are doing it right when the oceans are behaving in ways that alarm the scientists who study them.

Record-breaking temperatures.

A system of Atlantic currents that may be lurching toward collapse.

The response?

Yank out the instruments and walk away.

That is not budgeting. That is smashing the gauges while the engine is on fire and calling it efficiency.

For what? The Trump administration dressed it up as a “nimbler approach” and ���smart lifecycle management,” which is fancy nonsense for “we shut it off and hoped nobody would ask why.” There is no return-on-investment analysis. They cannot show taxpayers save a dime, because the gear is already paid for and the science it produces protects real money and real lives.

The kicker: the same people killing the monitors want to mine the deep sea for minerals. So they are destroying the only tools that could measure what that mining does. That is not an accident.

That is the point. You cannot see the damage if you break the instruments first.

As someone who supports the use of the public lands around me, I think this is something to listen to. Don’t take money from our parks to pay for vanity projects. Promote our beautiful parks, don’t take from them!

Aaron Parnas reported the folks at the White House are pretty mad at reporters for sharing photos of Donald Trump snoozing. Share, share, share. 😅

[BrooklynDad_Defiant!☮️ @mmpadellan]

Holy shit, trump and Republicans have been lying to our faces about gas prices coming down quickly...

They're going to take SIX YEARS just to get back to where it was when Joe Biden left office, $3.10.

How is this not a bigger story?

[BrooklynDad_Defiant!☮️ @mmpadellan]

If you don't find it completely fucked up that trump is using his power to send the U.S. DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE after a woman he sexually assaulted, you are a damaged human being.

[Anonymous @YourAnonNews]

Yeah.

Until they no longer say it was antifa.

Until they no longer say it was Pelosi.

Until they no longer say it was the FBI.

Until they hold those responsible accountable for what they did and stop trying to give them our tax dollars!
