Gov. @GavinNewsom: Donald Trump is selling the presidency. He's running the largest cash heist in American political history, trading foreign tariff relief for approval of his golf courses, day trading behind the Resolute desk, reaping hundreds of millions of dollars in personal profit, and he's doing it openly. He did it last night on the White House lawn. He's doing it through cryptocurrencies. The White House has become a marketplace, a marketplace for sneakers and coins and watches, cologne, guitars, Bibles, and phones. Influence for sale. Access for sale.
BREAKING: THANK YOU! Music legend Sheryl Crow shreds Trump's UFC fight on the White House lawn and the smear of Michelle Obama as "disgraceful" in a scathing takedown.
She put into words EXACTLY what we're all feeling...
"To stay quiet means to turn a blind eye. And so I am saying this. What happened last night on the lawn of the White House was disgraceful and void of decency," the singer wrote on her Instagram story.
"Powerful, rich people filled the lawn to watch a violent sport that ended with a vile and racist comment. All while the average American cannot afford healthcare, gas, and cost of living," she continued.
"Do not be fooled. This administration is corrupt and does not give a damn about the American people," she went on. "It only cares about making money hand over fist at the expense and in spite of our democracy. If we continue to support this kind of distraction from reality, we are no better than them."
"Let's be better, America.”
The "vile and racist comment" in question came from fighter Josh Hokit who yelled out "Michelle Obama is a man!" It was a racist trope, with a long history in America, which asserts that Black women are inherently less feminine than white women. It's designed to dehumanize and humiliate people of color.
Hokit has a history of bigotry. At a previous UFC event, he called WNBA All-Star Brittney Griner, a Black woman, a "man." Clearly, this man feels at home in the MAGA movement because he's surrounded by other white racists.
Trump, predictably, didn't condemn Hokit's remarks. In fact, CNN reported that the President was seen showing a "half-smile” in response to the insult.
The American presidency has hit rock bottom.
Please ❤️ and share to thank Sheryl Crow for speaking out!
LET'S PUT THIS ALL INTO PERSPECTIVE

That whole "America first" mantra is just a pipe dream.
It was just a political catchphrase to get MAGA to think @realDonaldTrump cared about this country, when in reality, he's running a plutocracy — American citizens be damned.
Elon Musk is being given 715 acres of land in the Lower Rio Grande Valley National Wildlife Refuge. A lawsuit has been filed by numerous Conservation groups. They say it violates laws that are protecting refuges and harms endangered species. It’s on a National Historic Landmark.
President Zelensky said it plainly: Ukraine did not have cards, it had people. Smart, brave people. That is the truth Europe must never forget. Putin counts weapons, Trump talks deals; Ukrainians are defending a nation, a democracy and the security of our continent. Their drones, resilience and courage are not bargaining chips. They are Europe’s front line. As European Democrats, we stand with Ukraine: peace requires strength, freedom requires solidarity.
Not enough people are talking about this.
Trump is trying to escape a $100 million dollar tax penalty, and Senate Republicans are helping him do it.
You know about the $1.8 billion slush fund he tried to create to reward his political allies. They got so much pushback that they’ve halted that, at least for now. But what you probably don’t know is that Trump gave himself, his family, and his businesses complete immunity from IRS audits, past and future.
Everyone focused on the slush fund, and almost nobody noticed the audit immunity. It’s still in place, and it cannot be allowed to stand.
@allenanalysis The fights hadn't even started and the fucking trumps are trying to rig shit for more fucjing profit! Fuck man how much is enough?? These fucking pieces of shit have all the money and it ain't enough.
#FUCKALLTRUMPS#FUCKERICTRUMP
DANIEL CORMIER IS A FUCKING CHAMP FOR THIS!
And yet, one of the most shameful incidents of the entire four-year-long major war was the conduct of the USA—which initially pressured Ukraine to submit to a tyrant, only to later wash its hands of the matter entirely and forget the Budapest Memorandum.
In fact, it was one of the most shameful events in the entire 250-year history of the United States—an act that reset its image as a "bastion of democracy and universal human values" to factory settings.

Oh, and by the way, mass murderer Putin wished Trump a happy birthday.
Gentle reminder!!! Don’t let Trump reframe this war as a campaign to “free” the Strait of Hormuz. The strait was open. It was open right up until the US and Israel attacked Iran.
Trump didn’t ride in to open a closed strait. Trump’s war is the reason the strait is closed.
Iran just leaked the receipts on the new deal, and it looks like a total US capitulation.
According to Mehr News, Tehran claims Washington locked in a staggering $300 BILLION in direct reconstruction funds. Even wilder? They're allegedly getting $24B in frozen assets unfrozen, with $12B handed over upfront just to sit down at the table.
This completely torches Trump’s narrative that Iran wouldn't get a single cent.
Trump is trapped.
This is a massive checkmate.
@ImBreckWorsham@PrezLives2022 When directly asked about the $300 Billion, JD Vance didn't deny it. He talked his way around it suggesting some unheard of source of the $300B.
BREAKING: Iran says the US has agreed to pay $300 billion in reconstruction funds directly to Iran as part of the deal Pakistan announced, alongside the release of $24 billion in frozen funds with $12 billion released before negotiations even start, per Mehr News.
This directly contradicts Trump's & Vance's claim that no funds will be transferred to Iran at all.
If Trump denies this is true, there never was a deal. If Trump confirms, the US has fully capitulated to Iran's demands.
Trump isn’t “resting his eyes.” He’s checking out.
Oval Office meeting, cameras rolling, Burgum speaking—and Trump is slumped over, visibly struggling to stay awake. Not once. Not twice. This is becoming a pattern. A daily occurrence. The most powerful office in the world, and the guy in the chair looks like he just missed his third alarm.
But don’t worry, we’re told he has “unmatched energy.”
This is the same man who reportedly slept through the NBA Finals—an arena packed with tens of thousands of people, deafening boos raining down, lights blazing, noise shaking the walls… and he still couldn’t stay conscious. You could not design a louder, more stimulating environment if you tried. And yet—out cold.
Now imagine what happens behind closed doors. Intelligence briefings. Policy discussions. Crisis meetings. If he can’t stay awake in public, what’s happening when the cameras are off?
Every day there are more reports. More clips. More moments where he looks completely disengaged, checked out, or physically unable to stay alert. This isn’t a one-off. It’s a trend.
And we’re supposed to believe this is “strength”?
This is the same guy who spent years attacking others’ stamina, mocking their energy, questioning their fitness for office. Now he can’t make it through a meeting without dozing off mid-sentence.
The irony is almost too perfect: the loudest voice against “wokeness”… literally can’t stay awake.
At some point, this stops being a joke and starts being a serious question: if you can’t stay conscious, how can you stay in charge?
Your money — whether it’s a 401K, a pension, or a college endowment — is now tied up in Elon Musk’s SpaceX.
Guess who will be stuck holding the bag when the rocket crashes?
One document is all it took to put uranium drills on the Continental Divide Trail.
Not a vote. Not a public hearing. Not an environmental review. One filing.
Because under a law signed by Ulysses S. Grant in 1872 — written to strip-mine the West during the Gold Rush — any company can stake a claim on federal public land, and the burden falls on the government to prove harm. The company just shows up.
Gamma Resources Ltd. showed up in February. Out of Vancouver.
$29 million in debt.
Zero revenue from operations.
Their own auditors have flagged them as a "going concern" — which in financial terms means: we're not sure this company will survive.
They've changed their name twice in just over a year.
And now they have a legal pathway to drill 12 uranium boreholes — up to 500 feet deep — into New Mexico’s Carson National Forest. Directly on the Continental Divide Trail.
In the Chama Basin — the headwaters of the Rio Grande’s largest New Mexico tributary, a watershed that supplies drinking water to over half of New Mexico’s population. More than one million people.
Twenty-three tribes and pueblos. Acequia farmers who have drawn clean water from this basin for over 400 years. Families on shallow wells with no alternative water source.
They've already identified nearly 3 million pounds of "yellowcake" uranium in the ground. They want to start mining by April 2027. They put it in writing, in their own investor pitch: New Mexico’s land is “low-hanging fruit”.
This isn't a loophole. This is the door that was never closed.
The General Mining Act of 1872 still governs hardrock mineral rights — including uranium — on 350 million acres of American public land.
Under it, foreign companies can freely prospect on land held in trust for every American, extract minerals worth billions, pay zero royalties to the government, and aren't even required to disclose how much they take or what it's worth.
It has never been fundamentally reformed. Not once in 154 years.
The 1872 Mining Act itself requires no reclamation bond. Zero.
No legal requirement to guarantee cleanup. No financial assurance that the land will ever be restored. Nothing.
The current administration's "Energy Dominance" orders made it worse — declaring uranium a national priority and signaling to the industry that federal land was open for business. Gamma Resources did the math and liked what they saw.
New Mexico's entire congressional delegation has demanded a full environmental review and is drafting legislation to withdraw the Chama watershed from all mineral development.
The Continental Divide Trail Coalition has raised the alarm. The Forest Service still hasn't decided if this even requires a full review.
A 154-year-old law. A foreign company with no revenue. A watershed tended for centuries by people who were here long before any of this was possible.
How is a law written for the
Gold Rush
in 1872 —
still deciding the fate of our
Public Lands
in 2026?

At the start, Europe and the United States had the capabilities to fight but not the will. Ukraine had the will but not the capabilities. Now Ukraine has both and Russia is screwed.
