He wants to make sure they do it again if he needs them.

Today Trump "negotiated" with his private criminal defense lawyer—a man he made AG for this corrupt purpose—the theft of $1.8B in taxpayer money so that it could be given to far-right terrorists in open rebellion against America. It's the most corrupt act by a POTUS in history.

Don't tell Pete Hegseth, but the most lethal and effective fighting force in the world today might be Ukraine.

What happened to the $10b Trump allocated for this ridiculous boondoggle?

We don’t talk enough about how the Trump admin has just removed women and people of color from all the front lines of government.

We covered this exact issue ⬇️ in PN today, and if you appreciate coverage of this sort, please subscribe, because the newsletter is entirely supported by readers.

When we took office, NYC had a $12B deficit. Today it’s zero. And we didn’t close that gap on the backs of working people. We closed it while funding parks, libraries, safer streets, & public housing. Call it Pothole Politics or Democratic Socialism: We are government that delivers for the people.

@mindys4Biden "Well congratulations MAGAs. Trump just set a new record. As of today, the cost of living just reached the highest level in the history of this country. Good job." Unbelievable😡

Rep Grijalva: "The problem I see is that this administration makes blanket statements about what's not happening, and we have a portion of our nation that believe them blindly. We have to realize 91% of the people in detention in these concentration camps are in private prisons. So follow the money"

Courtney Wild was 14 when Epstein started abusing her. While she waited for justice, the feds were negotiating a deal with Epstein's lawyers behind closed doors. She found out years later through a legal fight. The emails showed the government wasn't protecting victims. It was protecting Epstein.

Trump and Hegseth continue to lie to the American people and hide the truth. Thank God for journalism or all we would have is regime lies.

Tennessee Republicans just stripped ALL House Democrats of their committee assignments through November because they protested a gerrymandered map designed to dilute Black voting power in Memphis. Unfuckingbelievable racist, fascist BS. www.newschannel5.com/news/tenness...

Out like a light

Rep. Roger Williams on the SAVE America Act: "We want the right people voting"

Believing Trump's lies tends to not end well.

It's wild we're at such an untamed level of corruption that every time an action is taken in this war, whether a false promise of an imminent deal or a fresh wave of attacks, one of my first thoughts is "who made preemptive trades and profited from this?"

Trump and his Republican enablers in Congress cut healthcare, but give unlimited funding to sustain a war in Iran that nobody wants. The cost of gas and groceries have increased significantly while you struggle to afford medicine. Vote them all out in November! #HealthcareNotWarfare

From $100M to $400M all paid by private donors to $1B of taxpayer money at a time when the economy is spiraling down the drain, the national debt is exploding, and Trump is "overseeing" a war nobody wanted that costs $1B a day or more. The Republicans DO NOT CARE about the American people.

4 things you will never hear from Trump or any of his cabinet members: 1. We made a mistake. 2. We take full responsibility for it. 3. We apologize. 4. We will learn from it and do better.

There’s literally always a tweet.

We won the Pulitzer Prize for Local Reporting @chicagotribune.com! Our entire newsroom covered Midway Blitz with everything we had. I’ve never been prouder of the Tribune or its commitment to the truth. It’s an honor to be part of this team.

Krasnov is not in the White House to protect Americans. Krasnov is there to help Putin. Krasnov reduced troops in Germany hours after talking to his Master Putin and the move surprised the Pentagon.

Which is the backwards country now, United States?

Trump admin seizes DC's busiest public golf course with no warning #RawStory

Democrats need to tone down the political rhetoric?

A United States Senator is posting this.

The most shameful thing ever said by a President, and it is a low bar was cheering on the IS NAVY after gleefully saying they acted like pirates. Every American should be shamed. We are so much better than this. Signed, US NAVY retired

Unacceptable. Jonathan Ross should be in custody awaiting trial for the murder of Renée Good.

Has any senator or rep asked Pete Hegseth if he kept his promise to not drink while serving? It seems like an obvious question to me.

Took a video of this cool shell formation on my beach walk. If all of you repost it as many times as you can maybe some journalists will see it and do something about it

Now let’s do the Epstein cases…

We know he doesn't have long and we would really appreciate it if we could watch him squirm under oath to all his crimes and then watch him wither away and never come back. Release the Epstein files. Impeach, convict, and remove.

I never thought I’d see the day where the White House posts on social media that the 1st amendment is optional.

Every warning brushed off. Every signal downplayed. Every prediction people thought was exaggerated. All of it has come true.

By staying on, Powell is showing that the Federal Reserve can withstand immense political pressure. He’s also denying Trump the ability to appoint a new governor, and he could act as a counterweight if Kevin Warsh, the likely next chair, takes actions to please Trump. www.ms.now/opinion/jero...

The DOJ is now 132 days overdue to release the Epstein files.

The first thing a Democratic President better do is expand the SCOTUS

A win! Thank you for always making your voices heard. The House passed a DHS funding bill by voice vote this afternoon, ending a 75-day shutdown the longest agency shutdown in U.S. history. The GOP caved. The bill funds DHS but includes no money for ICE or Customs and Border Protection.

Kind of weird that the president is a rapist, and a court reaffirmed it, and everyone knows it, and we're all just going about our days like normal.

No one in the Epstein files has sued the Epstein Estate for defamation.

Exactly. The DOJ will only charge the people the president perceives as political enemies. Selective prosecution motion GRANTED. So ordered.

Oh look, France has a plan to phase out fossil fuels. Gosh, that seems like a good idea right now. thepoint.com.au/opinions/260...

Janet Mills is OUT of the Maine Senate race. Graham Platner will be the nominee.

BELIEVE all VICTIMS!!!!! #Iran #Epstein #EpsteinFiles

L - North Korea R - Miami

BREAKING: Mills ends her Senate run—Graham Platner the presumptive Dem nominee. Platner’s platform is nearly identical to Mamdani’s platform—and polling has Platner up 10 points against Susan Collins. In MAINE! Dems will win every seat when we prioritize WORKING PEOPLE over corporate interests.

A reminder that both Hillary Clinton and Kamala Harris literally warned everyone that SCOTUS was on the ballot. They were right yet again.

Jeffries says everything is on the table legislatively to deal with the Supreme Court: In the new Congress, we’re going to have to do something about this Supreme Court, and let me be very clear: everything is on the table.
