"Navatek’s CEO, Martin Kao, sent an initial $150,000 to the Collins super PAC using the shell company. Two months later, he told Navatek executives that Collins committed to getting the company $32 million in naval contracts, according to an internal company email reviewed by ProPublica."

Trump has now refunded $128 billion dollars from his tariffs to corporations. Tariffs he created, made Americans pay for, and then returned right back to his donors. We paid, and his friends cashed in.

We disgrace ourselves as a nation each and every day Donald Trump remains in office. The drafters of the United States Constitution provided a remedy for a criminally insane president like the one we have—impeachment and removal ...

This is a blatantly unconstitutional threat. The executive branch has zero constitutional power to tell states how to run their elections - zero. Nor does DHS have the constitutional power to threaten state and local officials with jail time if they fail to abide by the executive branch’s demands.

By now it should be obvious that Trump intends to repeat his playbook from 2020, and attempt to deny any result he does not like. And tonight was just another attempt by him to avoid accountability and defeat in November.

“Overturn this.” That is what Belgium’s team posted on social media after crushing the U.S. 4-1 in the World Cup on Monday — a snarky reference to the reinstatement of a banned American player following a phone call from President Trump to Gianni Infantino, the head of FIFA.

Belgium’s World Cup Win Over U.S. Fuels Triumph and Snark in Europe
President Trump had pushed to allow an American player to take the field despite a red card suspension, and the trouncing of the U.S. team was painted as a sign of justice.

The US Treasury's budget deficit rose +2% YoY in Mar, to $164 bn, above the $153 bn expected. Adjusted for the timing of certain benefit payments that shifted between months, the March deficit would have been $250 bn, significantly worse than a year ago. The US deficit is now at $1.17 trillion.
