President Trump’s sons Don Jr. and Eric have amassed a portfolio of defense technology start-ups that are benefiting from new DoD priorities and spending.

The companies have generated at least $3.2 BILLION in government business since the sons invested. https://t.co/PvfQdMXmw9

And maybe it is, if senior leaders don't value it. I argued for actually shutting down the war colleges - which will come as a shock to people here - if they were just going to be rest homes for passed-over officers. But no other institutions can offer what they offer. /5x

You just voted to give these thugs another $70 Billion. You’re complicit in this and every other murder committed by Trump’s secret police.

In a 2021 recording, Trump is heard discussing “confidential” and “secret” documents, including a plan of attack involving Iran. In the recording, Trump acknowledges that he cannot declassify the documents.

He was later indicted under the Espionage Act.

MEHDI: “How scared are Trump + his inner circle about the content & impact of the Epstein Files?”

SWAN: “We got their focus group data — people brought it up spontaneously. It came up higher than crime, data centers… some of the most salient issues were lower than Epstein.”

Massie: I had a nearly 20-minute conversation with Senator McConnell. And he said we should stop spying on Americans, quit bankrupting the country, and stop starting these new wars. And he expressed his sadness that I lost my primary.

But it appears that a lot of people had those 20-minute conversations. We just need to start having them publicly

[Ron Filipkowski @RonFilipkowski]

New article details how Trump’s former campaign consultant Brad Parscale is running an Israeli influence op in the US where a group of right-wing influencers are being paid to push pro-Israel content on social media.

[Acyn @Acyn]

Mockler: I don't think there is anything Trump could have done that these two conservatives wouldn't be defending….

Austin: I’ve condemned him, that was the stupidest answer I’ve ever heard.

Mockler: Do you condemn trump for pumping Palantir after buying the stock? Do you condemn Trump for getting a qatari jet and then using it to get a deal with Qatar? Do you condemn any of this? Do you condemn Donald Trump getting a cryptocurrency, having UAE donate $2 billion to that cryptocurrency and give them chips.

You mean like when you discussed war plans in your easily-hackable Signal group chat?

Marco Rubio: "For years to come, there are many people on the right...that are going to be having to explain and justify how they fell into this trap of supporting Donald Trump because this is not going to end well.” (2016)

Todd Blanche doesn't protect victims, he protects criminals. Tell your senator to vote for NO for Todd Blanche for Attorney General.

ICE just shot and killed a 26-year-old Colombian worker in Maine.

He had a Social Security Number.
He was driving to work.

Now, the community is taking the streets:
“No KKK, no fascist USA, no ICE!”

STOP EXECUTING OUR COMMUNITY MEMBERS.

[Power to the People ☭🕊 @ProudSocialist]

Protestors in Maine are now surrounding Susan Collins’ office after ICE murdered a 26-year-old Colombian man who was authorized to work in the US and had a social security number. Collins voted to give ICE $70 billion.

[ProPublica @propublica]

Ten members of Congress have warned the secretary of defense that the Trump administration’s gutting of a program focused on shielding noncombatants puts service members in peril, erodes the military’s moral standing and may violate federal law.

[Mother Jones @MotherJones]

Over the last decade, the court—led by Chief Justice John Roberts—has increasingly relied on a fast-track way of making decisions that was once rarely used.

It’s known as the shadow docket. https://t.co/pj77WoJcOd

[The Atlantic @TheAtlantic]

Despite Donald Trump's railing against Marxism, the president “has more in common with Communists than his hostile rhetoric lets on,” @jonathanchait argues. https://t.co/6vVHFN7P5F
