“This is how Trump hijacked 🇺🇸’s birthday.”
@RepHuffman explains Trump turned a nonpartisan 250th celebration into a way to steal hundreds of millions of taxpayer dollars + take bribes from corporations & foreign governments.
Endless corruption. Even the fair is a grift.
The former top US general whom Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth fired last year criticized the use of the military for political missions in an op-ed published Friday, pointing to the Trump administration’s deployment of troops to clamp down on crime in major cities. https://t.co/Yy7Tp3OhqM
Every single New York House Republican voted to rip healthcare away from their own constituents. Nearly 500,000 New Yorkers are losing health coverage today thanks to these GOP sellouts.
Disgraceful.
We will hold them accountable in November.
A federal judge blocked the US Postal Service from carrying out its plan for President Donald Trump’s mail ballot executive order, finding that the proposal violated a settlement in a 2020 lawsuit against the agency. https://t.co/xdNPEAogGl
Former Trump White House lawyer Ty Cobb on Trump earning over $1 billion last year from crypto ventures: “We are seeing the greatest onslaught of corruption in the history of mankind.”
Here we go again. J.D. Vance and this administration are working to rewrite history right in front of you.
First it was the 2020 election fraud claims. All false.
Next the January 6th riot on our Capital. They told you it was basically a love fest. A peaceful crowd. Nothing serious.
Now it is Watergate.
Let me tell you exactly what happened with Watergate, because the facts matter and people forget them.
Nixon and his aides ran a criminal cover-up of the 1972 Watergate break-in. They obstructed justice. They paid hush money to the burglars to keep them quiet. They pointed the CIA and the FBI at the investigation and tried to shut it down. They used the power of the presidency to go after their political enemies.
And when Congress sent subpoenas looking for the truth, they stonewalled. People went to prison for this. Real people, at the very top. Former Attorney General John Mitchell. Chief of staff H.R. Haldeman. Domestic affairs adviser John Ehrlichman. All three convicted in 1975 for their roles in the conspiracy. Nixon walked. He never stood trial because Gerald Ford pardoned him.
It did not stop with those three. The list runs long. White House counsel John Dean. Special counsel Charles Colson. Deputy campaign director Jeb Magruder. Operatives G. Gordon Liddy, E. Howard Hunt, and James McCord. The five burglars who broke in: Bernard Barker, Virgilio González, Eugenio Martínez, Frank Sturgis, and McCord. Plumbers member Egil Krogh. Nixon's personal attorney Herbert Kalmbach. Appointments secretary Dwight Chapin. Campaign aide Fred LaRue. And that is not even all of them. Roughly forty people were convicted in connection with the scandal.
Read the above again, then stop and let all of this sink in.
The Vice President of the United States just waved off the biggest presidential corruption scandal in American history as a blip on the news cycle.
And this is how it works. When you call a crime a speedbump, you train people to stop seeing it as a crime. When you turn the people who got convicted into victims, you make the next cover-up easier to run. That is the goal. That is exactly why they do it.
That is not a renaissance. That is not a hoax. That is a record.
Do not let them paper over it. You know what happened. Say it out loud, and keep saying it.
I just did.
The ball’s in your court.
Let me be really clear about what just happened.
The head of the U.S. Postal Service sat in front of the United States Senate and said the quiet part loud: no voter list, no mail ballots. Full stop.
You don’t get to look away from this one.
This is a proposed rule. It’s being fought in court. But the fact that it was said — that a federal official openly threatened to withhold your ballot — that matters.
Your vote is yours. Not the administration’s. Not USPS’s. Yours.
Stay informed. Stay loud.
President Trump's meeting with GOP senators on Wednesday turned testy, and at one point, he told Sen. Bill Cassidy (R-LA) to sit down, after questions arose about the War Powers Resolution, according to sources directly familiar with the meeting.
“I’m not going to be bullied when I’m trying to get answers for the American people,” Cassidy told reporters after the meeting.
REPUBLICAN SEN. TILLIS: “What Freakin’ parallel universe did I wake up in? You’re telling me — if it’s true — damaging the reflecting pool lining is something Pirro wants to prosecute… yet they’re releasing people who pled guilty to assaulting officers?”
One billionaire family controls the bridge that carries 25% of all U.S.–Canada trade.
The good news? There's a brand new public bridge right next door (and Canada paid for the whole thing).
The bad news? Donald Trump won't let it open.
Here's the story:
For more than a decade, Michigan and Canada worked together to build a new public crossing right next to it — six lanes over the Detroit River, named for a Canadian-born Red Wings legend, built by thousands of union workers. Canada paid the entire bill. Michigan co-owns it. It's finished. It’s a shining example of international cooperation and collaboration, with a tremendous return for both sides: more jobs, faster trade, and lower costs.
So why isn't it open?
Because the Moroun family, who own the rival Ambassador Bridge just up the river, doesn’t want the competition. They spent years and tens of millions of dollars trying to stop any competing international crossing from being built or opening. They lost. So they went to the White House instead.
In January, Matthew Moroun gave $1 million to a pro-Trump super PAC. Then the billionaire called Trump's Commerce Secretary and, just hours later, Trump suddenly attacked the same publicly owned bridge he praised in his own first term and threatened to block it.
Then, the day before the June 12th ribbon-cutting, the opening was called off indefinitely.
It's corruption so flagrant it would be laughable if it weren't so damaging.
Trump is screwing over Michiganders for the interests of billionaires — holding a finished, publicly owned project hostage to protect one donor's toll booth.
So a finished bridge sits closed, Michiganders keep paying the higher tolls, cars and trucks cost more, and a billionaire family keeps its monopoly.
Mr. President: stop playing games. Open the damn bridge.
Huge bipartisan majorities in Congress passed a bill to lower housing costs.
But at the 11th hour, Donald Trump is refusing to sign it into law. His policies have made your costs go up — and he doesn't care.
