🚨 THIS INTERVIEW TOOK AN UNEXPECTED TURN.

🇺🇸 Reporter: "You've earned millions from crypto while serving in office. Were you aware of those deals?"

🇺🇸 Trump: "Yes. Nothing about it was illegal."

🇺🇸 Reporter: "Federal conflict-of-interest law exists to stop public officials from profiting from government positions."

🇺🇸 Trump: "I'm not familiar with that law."

One question. One answer. Millions are now debating whether America's rules apply equally to everyone.

If any ordinary public official admitted something similar, the legal consequences could have been severe.

That's what fearless journalism looks like. 🎤

RFK Jr. looked me dead in the eye and lied. He said, "there are no cuts to Medicaid."

Now we have receipts: 3.8 million people lost Medicaid or CHIP.

All to pay for tax cuts for billionaire donors.

[Brown Eyed Susan @smc429]

Trump used an unqualified, shit contractor for a national landmark, ruined it, then arrested a 67 year old Olympian for causing all that damage by sticking his hand in it?!

IT IS TIME TO CLOSE THE ATM. STOP BLAMING EVERYONE ELSE FOR HIS EXPENSIVE FUCK UPS!

[BrooklynDad_Defiant!☮️ @mmpadellan]

It totally makes sense that, after 2 weeks, the only crowd that showed up for trump in DC was a bunch of white Supremacist scumbags.

Because of course they did. 🤨

BREAKING: HOLY SH*T! A former Justice Department Pardon Attorney BLOWS THE WHISTLE on Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche — reveals that he fired her for refusing to do a mafia-style favor for disgraced actor Mel Gibson.

This is jaw-dropping corruption...

"Liz Oyer, former Pardon Attorney, describes how Todd Blanche fired her when she refused to do a dangerous official favor for Trump friend Mel Gibson," Congressman Jamie Raskin wrote on X.

"The actor lost his federal firearm rights after committing domestic violence," he explained. "Gibson assaulted his girlfriend while she was holding their baby daughter, smashing her in the mouth, breaking her teeth, threatening her with his gun. Gibson asked Trump’s DOJ to reinstate his federal firearm rights despite his criminal conviction."

Gibson was accused of attacking musician Oksana Grigorieva in 2010 while the two were in a romantic relationship. In addition to the horrifying physical abuse that Raskin recounted, leaked phone conversations also revealed that Gibson admitted to slapping her and at one point told her: "If you get raped by a pack of n*****s, it'll be your fault." He repeatedly called her a "whore," "bitch," and "c*nt."

In addition to his horrific treatment of Grigorieva, Gibson launched into an infamous antisemitic rant during a DUI stop in 2006 during which he said "Jews are responsible for all the wars in the world" and repeatedly referred to "f*cking Jews."

In other words, he's exactly the kind of monster that Trump gravitates towards, which explains why he has been folded into MAGA's inner circle and appointed "Special Ambassador to Hollywood," a meaningless title that nonetheless shows how deeply embedded he is with this administration.

In his X post, Raskin went into greater detail about Blanche's push to reinstate Gibson's firearm rights—

"Although Blanche had the power to do it on his own, he tried to force Oyer to give her stamp of approval," he stated. "Not convinced of Gibson’s rehabilitation or his lack of dangerousness, and knowing that over half of women murdered in the United States are killed by a current or past intimate partner, and the presence of firearms in an abusive household increases the risk of murder by 500%, Oyer refused to have anything to do with Blanche’s dangerous and unethical suggestion. Blanche sacked her."

The congressman also shared a post from Oyer herself, in which she wrote that Blanche "fired me for doing my job" and "subjected me and my family to months of retaliation."

"My story is one of many reasons the Senate should not confirm Blanche again," Oyer added. She shared a link to the official letter she sent to the Senate Judiciary Committee.

In it, she revealed that Blanche subjected her and her family to "an extended course of retaliatory conduct, including attempting to prevent me from informing Congress about his actions by directing U.S. Marshals to deliver an intimidating letter to our home and initiating a baseless professional misconduct complaint against me with the bar where I am licensed."

Damningly, Blanche fired Oyer just two hours after she informed him that she "would not rubberstamp a political favor for a celebrity friend" of Trump. The administration wanted her to pen a memo recommending that Gibson regain legal access to guns, which he lost when he was convicted of domestic violence.

The actor's attorney had sent a letter to the Justice Department requesting the favor, which absurdly "cited Mr. Gibson’s personal relationship with Mr. Trump and his catalogue of famous films." The suggestion that appearing in movies somehow entitles him to special treatment is galling, but it shows that he understands Trump' warped, fame-obsessed psyche.

Oyer explined that "longstanding DOJ policy" requires the Office of the Pardon Attorney to conduct "careful vetting" and risk assessment and for the FBI to do a background investigation. Blanche wanted her to ignore the usual procedures entirely.

"Rearming a domestic abuser without careful vetting was not consistent with the Department’s policies or its duty to protect public safety," wrote Oyer.

"My recommendation was not actually needed to grant Mr. Gibson’s request. The legal authority to restore firearm rights rests with the Attorney General. As a career official, I understood that my recommendation would lend a veneer of legitimacy to what could otherwise look like a political favor," she explained.

Oyer took a brave stand and was punished for it. She is currently involved in litigation against the Department over her illegal firing, because it blatantly violated federal service and whistleblower protection laws.

Crucially, Oyer's letter also stated what we have all come to realize: the presidential pardon system has become completely corrupted under Trump.

"A pay-to-play pardon system has developed that has advantaged the wealthy and well-connected," she alleged.

Please ❤️ and share to thank Liz Oyer for speaking out!

Usha Vance just asked Trump if he has time to read.

Barack Obama: “Reading is the gateway skill that makes all other learning possible.”

Thomas Jefferson: “I cannot live without books.”

Donald Trump: “I usually read stories about myself”

@DavidBraun1966 @RichardAngwin Alternate math, just like his alternate facts.

[The Shallow State @OurShallowState]

The fact that Todd Blanche has refused to comply with the court order to release the Epstein files following Katie Phang's lawsuit, should be a more significant story.
The fact that the Epstein Estate ACTUALLY PAID a settlement to one of the women who alleged that Donald Trump raped her as a minor, and it was paid AFTER Epstein died, as told under oath by Epstein's longtime accountant, should be a more significant story.
The fact that Trump said he wasn't ever on Epstein's plane and now we found out he was, should be a more significant story.
The fact that senior officials gathered in the Situation Room to concoct and coordinate an Epstein coverup should be the most significant story of all.
And when you combine ALL these stories and add to it his hiring of Alex Acosta, the birthday card, the movement of Maxwell to a more lenient facility, and then - especially - his panicked behavior on all things Epstein, it really should be the end of his presidency.

[BrooklynDad_Defiant!☮️ @mmpadellan]

It's weird to me how trump never lets go of a grudge, he still bitches about Obama, Biden, Hillary, and even Rosie O'Donnell for some reason.

He never says a word about any of the people who supposedly tried to assassinate him.

Nothing. Weird.

BREAKING: NBC News is reporting that President Trump's investment accounts purchased over 300 stocks on the day before his tariffs were paused.

THE MOST CORRUPT PRESIDENT EVER! BY FAR!

[MP Arizona☀️🏳️‍🌈💙🌵🐕🐕‍🦺🫂💦🏜🐟🌴🎙🌎🌻♍️🌊 @AzPetrich]

He now wants the historic Cherry Trees that were gifted from Japan in 1910 REMOVED, along with the bike path so he can build a golf course.

Guy's! HE'S PLANNING ON CUTTING DOWN THE CHERRY TREES. THE FUCKING CHERRY TREES OF DC.

This better not happen.

[😱 Scary Larry 😱 🇺🇦✊🏻🇺🇸🗽 @aintscarylarry]

When the president gets away with raping kids, stealing thousands of classified documents, and mounting a deadly coup attempt, but an Olympian gets brought up on federal charges for pulling paint chips out of a pool, you’ve got yourself a shithole country.
