🇺🇸👀 Hillary Clinton:

I continue to believe that Putin has things on Trump. I continue to believe that he is holding photos, videos, whatever it might be.

Fast forward ten years, we are seeing in real time everything that I warned about and everything that evidence proved, which is that Trump is more devoted to Putin than he is to freedom, democracy, and frankly, America's national security.

When we finally see all the Epstein files, I think even the people who supported Trump are going to be shocked by what it shows about Trump.

[Marco Foster @MarcoFoster_]

Hillary Clinton: “The profit that the Trump family has made off of the presidency could pay for a full year of SNAP benefits for about 1.3M people, 600M free school lunches, or three months of groceries for the 5.2M people who have been thrown off SNAP. Wasting your tax money, the corruption is rife, it’s undermining government services, even our national defense, and hurting people who should be able to get support because of their needs for food or to pay their bills. We already know that he’s a fraudster”

[Marco Foster @MarcoFoster_]

Hillary Clinton: “The Republican Party is no longer a political party, it is a cult devoted to Trump and Trump’s power. The Republican Party needs a total transformation. If we’re gonna have a healthy government that actually gets things done and delivers for people, the Republican Party has to purge itself of everybody that lost both their conscience and their backbone over the last ten years and that’s most of them”

[Hillary Clinton @HillaryClinton]

Ten years ago today.

In just the last few days: Trump made a deal for the U.S. to buy Russian diesel, an economic lifeline for Putin; he and Elon Musk blamed each other for an order that slowed down Starlink satellite connectivity over Ukraine, hampering the country's defenses during a devastating Russian attack; and Trump waived sanctions on Russia that Congress, led by his late friend Lindsey Graham, had pushed for.

Now, Putin has proposed a summit with Trump and Xi to decide Ukraine’s fate for them, bulldoze a century of international cooperation, and frame Russia as an equal to the U.S. and China.

We’ll see if Putin’s puppet continues to dance on his strings.

A plane carrying a mother, father, and their two teenage daughters crashed into a tree in a Florida neighborhood and caught fire. As smoke poured from the wreckage, four neighbors rushed toward the burning aircraft armed with an axe, a hammer, and a fire extinguisher. But to save the family inside, they would have to fight their way into a burning aircraft before the flames spread.

It happened in Pembroke Pines, Florida. The family was approaching a nearby airport when their plane crashed into a tree outside someone’s home.

Hearing the impact, four neighbors rushed outside to find smoke rising from the wreckage and the family trapped inside.

Without hesitation, they grabbed tools and began smashing through the damaged cockpit, managing to pull the father and his two teenage daughters to safety, but the mother was still trapped inside.

With flames spreading quickly, some fought the fire using a garden hose and extinguisher while the others desperately worked to break through the twisted metal and reach her.

Finally, they pulled her free, saving all four family members.

Without these neighbors risking their own lives, this could have ended in tragedy. Instead, an entire family is alive because four ordinary people refused to stand by.

Let’s give these everyday heroes the recognition they deserve.

JUST IN: The man who stopped the school shooting in Bend, Oregon, has been identified as 36-year-old Kalub Giamanco.

Giamanco, a carpenter, was reportedly driving home for lunch when he heard gunshots.

After hearing the gunshots, Giamanco, who has a concealed carry permit, followed the suspect into the school.

He then shot and killed 16-year-old John J Griffin moments after the teen opened fire into a special education classroom.

Giamanco, who has two children of his own who attend the school, is family friends with one of the victims, a 7-year-old who uses a wheelchair and was shot in the face.

The 7-year-old survived and is in the hospital.

Three children at Silver Rail Elementary School were killed. Their ages are 5, 8, and 11.

According to Giamanco's brother, Giamanco doesn't feel like a hero because he feels guilty for not being able to save more children.

You are a hero, Kalub.

Barack Obama at his last press briefing with reporters, 2017:

"I have enjoyed working with all of you. That does not, of course, mean that I've enjoyed every story that you have filed, but that's the point of this relationship. You're not supposed to be sycophants. You're supposed to be skeptics. You're supposed to ask me tough questions. You're not supposed to be complimentary, but you're supposed to cast a critical eye on folks who hold enormous power."

🚨MUST WATCH: Jon ​Ossoff just showed up on national TV with a blowtorch, systematically tearing down their entire circus piece by piece.

Whoever in Trump's camp convinced him that Jon Ossoff would roll over and stay silent needs to be fired.

Btw, who's Natalie Harp? 🤣

@AMikeBloomType Cheesy, but thank goodness it happened.

[Mr PitBull Stories @MrPitbull07]

A young woman named MacKenzie Tuttle graduated from Princeton in 1992 with a degree in English. One of her professors was Toni Morrison, who later described her as one of the finest creative writing students she had ever taught.

After graduation, MacKenzie took a job at the New York investment firm D. E. Shaw. There she met a colleague named Jeff Bezos, who had an ambitious idea: selling books on the internet.

She didn’t laugh at the idea.

They married in 1993, and the following year drove across the country to the Seattle area to build what would become Amazon.

In the beginning, there was no global empire.

There was a garage.

MacKenzie handled accounting, wrote business materials, answered customer emails and phone calls, and packed orders alongside Jeff. Like many startups, everyone did whatever needed to be done.

As Amazon grew, MacKenzie stepped away from day-to-day operations to raise their four children while continuing to pursue her own passion for writing.

Her debut novel, The Testing of Luther Albright, won the American Book Award. She later published a second novel and quietly built a respected literary career.

Meanwhile, the story of Amazon became one of the most famous business stories ever told.

Jeff Bezos became one of the world’s most recognizable entrepreneurs.

MacKenzie’s role was rarely part of the public narrative.

She never seemed interested in changing that.

What many people don’t know is that she also knew financial hardship.

Her family filed for bankruptcy while she was still a student, and she has spoken about the kindness of people who helped her through difficult times—acts of generosity she never forgot.

In 2019, after her divorce, MacKenzie Scott received approximately 4% of Amazon’s shares.

Almost immediately, she made a decision that surprised the world.

She signed the Giving Pledge, promising to donate the majority of her wealth during her lifetime.

Then she did something even more unusual.

Instead of building a massive public foundation or attaching her name to buildings, she began giving away billions of dollars through large, unrestricted grants.

Universities.

Food banks.

Housing organizations.

Rural communities.

Women’s health initiatives.

Tribal colleges.

Climate organizations.

Small nonprofits that had never imagined receiving gifts of that size.

Many recipients reportedly thought the phone calls were scams.

They weren’t.

Since 2019, MacKenzie Scott has donated tens of billions of dollars to thousands of organizations, making her one of the most significant philanthropists of the modern era.

Despite giving away enormous sums, her fortune has remained substantial because of Amazon’s continued growth.

The woman who once packed Amazon’s first orders is now helping fund opportunities for millions of people she will probably never meet.

She never asked for buildings in her name.

She never demanded headlines.

Sometimes the greatest legacy isn’t the company you help build.

It’s what you choose to do with the success that follows.

The Los Angeles Police Department are funding homeless encampments completely crawling with rats

LAPD is calling this a health and safety hazard and making it impossible for people with disabilities to use sidewalks

5 medieval diseases are having resurgences in Los Angeles linked to homelessness and poor sanitation conditions

Flea-borne Typhus (Murine Typhus)

Tuberculosis (TB) A bacterial lung infection historically associated with crowded, unsanitary conditions. Outbreaks have been reported in Skid Row and among homeless populations in LA

Hepatitis A, which is a liver infection spread through fecal-oral route contaminated foo and water, poor hygiene. Major outbreaks in California including LA have been directly tied to homelessness

Trench Fever has re-emerged in homeless communities in LA and other cities.

Scabies is extremely common in homeless encampments

These diseases thrive in environments with high trash accumulation, rats, body lice and limited access to sanitation

Democrats are literally bringing back medieval diseases

That’s what they’ve done to California and America’s most iconic city Los Angeles

They should be held criminally liable

NEW: U.S. Marine Combat Veteran, Mike Egan, races for 27 hours, traveling more than 110 miles in a wheelchair at the G1M Ultra.

Egan was seen getting out of his wheelchair at one point due to the mud.

The Go One More Ultra is a race in which contestants run a 4.2-mile loop every hour on the hour until only one person remains.

Egan placed in the top 28, outlasting 117 people.

Absolutely insane.
