BREAKING: MAGA Governor Ron DeSantis is caught in a jaw-dropping scandal as it's exposed that he funneled $10 million in taxpayer money to his wife's charity, who gave it to dark money groups, who then donated $8.5 million to his minion's PAC.

Even Republicans are calling this illegal. It's the kind of corruption that ends up in history books...

The scandal originated with a settlement agreement between Florda and Centene, the state's largest Medicaid contractor, after it was discovered that the company had over-billed taxpayers for medications by a staggering $67,048,611.

Instead of depositing that money in state and federal accounts like they were supposed to, DeSantis's administration funneled $10 million of it to the Hope Florida Foundation, a charity overseen by his wife Casey DeSantis.

That money was then rerouted to two dark money organizations that are not legally required to report how they spend their funds. Those very same groups then turned around and gave $8.5 million to a PAC overseen by DeSantis’ then-chief of staff.

The stunning embezzlement scheme was exposed by a draft agreement obtained by The Miami Herald which directly contradicts claims made by DeSantis and his officials that the $10 million contribution from Centene was separate from the Medicaid settlement.

"This is kind of like a cherry on top, where they agreed to make an additional contribution," DeSantis lied.

This is nothing short of a heist of public funds. DeSantis took money that belonged to the people of Florida and deposited it right into the pocket of his wife and his lackey's political action committee.

If DeSantis and everyone involved in this crime don't end up behind bars, it will be a grave miscarriage of justice. Republicans all across the country will see it as open season on the public coffers.

BREAKING: MAGA Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem publicly humiliates herself by getting so distracted eating at a restaurant that a thief manages to steal her purse — with her sensitive DHS access badge and $3,000 in cash.

"Fascist Barbie" rants about securing the border but can't even secure her own handbag...

According to DHS Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin, Noem was dining at a restaurant in downtown Washington when the thief nabbed her purse, which also contained her passport, driver's license, blank checks, and her keys.

Secret Service reviewed security footage of the incident and observed an "an unknown white male wearing a medical mask steal her bag and leave the restaurant."

It should go without saying but a Cabinet-level official should not leave their access badge anywhere where it might be easily stolen. Keeping it secure on their person or safely stored at home is the best way to prevent such a breach.

This is the same Kristi Noem who regularly cosplays as a fascist stormtrooper by dressing up in tactical gear to join ICE raids terrorizing marginalized communities.

Please retweet and ❤️ if you think that every member of Trump's Cabinet is utterly incompetent — and consider joining the growing exodus to Tribel, a new pro-democracy social network that is exploding in popularity because Twitter and Facebook are trying to stop its growth — which is only making Tribel grow even faster.

75 million Americans voted for a man to run the country who ran six separate companies into bankruptcy.

His tariff plan will cripple the U.S. economy, crash markets, hurt Americans and result in all kinds of bailouts and other BS in the months ahead.

This. is. Total. Insanity.

[Brian Allen @allenanalysis]

Fox News yanked the market ticker mid-meltdown—because showing the economic fallout in real time doesn’t fit the Trump script.

Let’s be real: this isn’t journalism, it’s state-run propaganda with a red tie. The same network that paid $787 million for 2020 election lies is now scrubbing live data to protect the guy lighting the economy on fire.

Fair and balanced? Try fraud and complicit.

@tbaker1968 @ottgolf @secupp @StacyBradley_ Vietnam imports 13~b from the United States and exports 136~b to the United States. Is an extremely simple call to drop all tariffs on American imports If it gives Trump a "victory" and gets him to lower the tariff rate on Vietnam.

[S.E. Cupp @secupp]

Imagine the arrogance of thinking: screw ALL the economists, screw everything we know from history, screw our allies, screw American workers and farmers, screw my own voters who just wanted costs to go down…I’m going to take down the GLOBAL economy. Because I can. That’s a special kind of narcissist.

@EdKrassen Grok, How many lies has Trump told the American people?

[Protect Kamala Harris ✊ @DisavowTrump20]

Donald Trump has called for MSNBC Host Rachel Maddow to resign due to her critical coverage of the administration. He continues to try and attack the free press - but we won’t let him win.

RETWEET if you stand with @Maddow against Trump!
