$1.4 billion in crypto scams. Selling access to early social posts at $100,000 a pop. A $400 million jet from Qatar. It’s a long, long, long list. And it’s getting longer every day. Donald Trump is the most corrupt president in American history.

Food companies wanted deregulation. Now there are dozens of recalls across the country. Mining companies wanted deregulation. Now the black lung rate is at a 45-year high. Financial companies wanted deregulation. Now financial losses to fraud are the highest on record. Noticing a pattern?

Hundreds of billions spent, Americans killed and grievously injured, vital weapon stockpiles nearly gone, no change in Iranian nuclear threat, Iran likely to reap hundreds of billions in fees to use for its terrorist puppets. Great work, Hegseth and Trump!

BREAKING: Bill Cassidy says he’s a YES on Todd Blanche, solidifying his legacy as the man who enabled RFK Jr. to wreak havoc on Americans’ health, and now the man who will let Blanche weaponize the DOJ like never before seen in history and cover up for Jeffrey Epstein’s crimes.

Now that El-Sayed is the nominee, moderates will have to decide if they want a progressive in the Senate for six years or continued GOP control. If they’re truly committed to Democratic success in November, they’ll set aside whatever issues they have with El-Sayed and go all-in on his candidacy.

Let’s not forget that this illegal Reflecting Pool indictment was also overseen by Todd Blanche. He could have stopped this at any time, but he was a corrupt and willing accomplice to this fraud upon the court. How can any decent person possibly vote for this man as AG?

They are dead because of Donald Trump. To this day we never got a coherent explanation for why the President illegally attacked Iran in the first place (vague muttering about "Israel made us" or "nuke-u-lur" doesn't count), and we still have no strategy for getting back to the status quo.

📌Trump brutally attacked our NATO allies today — countries that have stood with us for decades — then tried to clean it up in a completely unhinged press conference hours later. I cannot imagine how badly Biden would have been assaulted if he had done this. The double standards are absurd.

Trump keeps calling his war on Iran an “excursion,” like it’s a sightseeing trip. You can almost hear the briefing where someone said “incursion,” and he just ran with the wrong word. The people paid to advise him are either too afraid to step in or are just fine with him looking like a fool.
