He’s literally stealing OUR money to pay HIS fucking goons for attacking OUR capitol FOR him.

NEW: The top lawyer at the Treasury Department just resigned. Even though he clerked for Clarence Thomas, perhaps the $1.7B heist was probably too much. Also note the Times (right) and the WSJ (left) refer to it as a settlement. The judge found IT IS NOT A SETTLEMENT. 1/

JUST FILED: Senators launch probes into Todd Blanche and Trump's $1.7 billion taxpayer-funded payout to convicted criminals Lots of enterprise reporting in my daily "DAY AHEAD" editorial note (these are the notes I used to share with bosses at CBS) open.substack.com/pub/macfarla...

Here’s the uncomfortable truth: Air power alone doesn’t win wars. Symbolic strikes don’t create strategy. And if you engage in war, you either commit to an achievable outcome or you shouldn’t start it in the first place. open.substack.com/pub/adamkinz...

NEW: Donald just STOLE $1.7B from us to pay insurrectionists. I have some important info about this. Please share widely.

“.. large tech companies have collectively laid off more than 150,000 workers, unraveling what many tech workers once perceived as a guarantee of affluence and employability.” @nytimes.com www.nytimes.com/2026/05/19/b...

There is no way the republicans would be anything less that outraged if Obama had taken almost $2 billion of taxpayer dollars and given it to people he pardoned for trying to steal an election. Every republican in congress who doesn’t speak up and prevent this is complicit

I simply could not imagine being in congress and staying silent as Trump builds a slush fund of $1.776 (cute right… 1776) billion dollar slush fund for insurrrectionists. What are these people even there for? History will be brutal to them. And their kids will be embarrassed

I'll be joining this 24-hour Epstein Files Filibuster at 3 pm ET! www.youtube.com/live/5JPrgN2...

They're stealing billions of your money to pay off violent right-wing psychos while doing everything in their power to spike gas up to $5 a gallon, make groceries into a luxury and hand the country over to the oligarchs who want to permanently replace you.

This is the raving of a delusional man who is unfit and unable to discharge the duties of his office. Every member of his cabinet and Congress who choose to look the other way or deny the danger are complicit.

I say without hyperbole that this is the most brazenly corrupt action in US Presidential history. That it does not immediately lead to impeachment is a dangerous sign of how far the rule of law has declined.

Any President that sues his own government, while in office, should immediately be impeached

The president is stealing tax dollars from the public treasury to pay off his criminal cronies.

m gonna post this video everyday so we NEVER FORGET what the INSURRECTIONIST Donald J. Trump did on Jan 6th

BREAKING: It's official. The Trump DOJ just confirmed the creation of a $1.776 billion slush fund that can be used to pay Trump allies who claim they've been wrongfully targeted by the Biden admin's ‘weaponization' — including, reportedly, Jan. 6 insurrectionists.

Nearly 800,000 Louisianians voted yesterday and won, rejecting all five state constitutional amendments put forward by Gov. Jeff Landry...

Congress works 140 days a year and earns $174K annually, plus full benefits. How can anyone survive on that without a few stock trades and a little insider trading? They get 225 days off a year and think it’s okay to hold the federal minimum wage at $7.25 an hour for 17 years.

The fact that trump is going after Thomas Massie because of… the Epstein files (that trump himself promised to release in the campaign) and that the GOP is likely to go along with him, is astounding

Trump’s special envoy has arrived in Greenland - the dipshit Governor of Louisiana. The clown show buffoonery continues all over the world.

i think this should properly be read to understood that they have no idea what to do

"With Trump advertising his willingness to make 'deals' w/ China that pose grave risks to the US, the question once again arises whether he is a fool, traitor, or both. But at end of the day the answer may not really matter, since either way, Trump is a menace to the country he was elected to lead."

I miss having a President of the United States.

In his neverending quest for self-enrichment, Trump is involved in the largest insider trading heist in history. The corrupt motherfucker is making millions off his war of choice against Iran.

Buttigieg on Duffy: "I love roadtrips. I love America. I actually took a taxpayer-funded roadtrip lasted about 7 months. It was in Afghanistan. This is something very different. To make roadtrips unaffordable & then go around celebrating your own roadtrip is actually why people are frustrated about"

Buttigieg: "In my experience, Sen. Cassidy is a normal, honest, & very conservative Republican. It turns out people like that have less & less of a home in Donald Trump's Republican Party. We are seeing more extreme candidates. It's organized more & more around one man, who remains deeply unpopular"

Kash Patel's "VIP Snorkel" with 9 guests, accompanied by Navy Seals, over the tomb of 900 sailors at Pearl Harbor: "[A]s disrespectful as playing kickball on top of the graves at Arlington." www.nytimes.com/2026/05/15/u...

Let me insert a brief pause in our abject disgust towards Kash Patel to add some abject disgust towards those Navy Seals. They know what that site means, and they still agreed to voluntarily participate. Recreating on another sailor’s gravesite is not one of the Navy Values I was taught.

It’s as though he views his FBI directorship as his own personal make-a-wish foundation. When is enough enough?

You're entitled to your own opinion. You're NOT entitled to your own facts. #BelieveTheScience What he said 💯 👇 👇 👇

Trump has spent the day angrily posting about Thomas Massie and Lauren Boebert due to their role in pushing for the release of the Epstein files. That says a whole lot. His latest post: "Is anyone interested in running against Weak Minded Lauren Boebert in Colorado’s Fourth Congressional District?"

👇👇👇👇

Trump has doubled down on his remark about not considering the financial plight of everyday Americans when considering foreign policy, saying that what he had said was a “perfect statement.” “I’d make it again,” Trump replied, when asked about the comments by Fox News’ Bret Baier.

Polis is a clown www.cnn.com/2026/05/15/p...

While everyone's watching Hormuz, the Epstein files are being buried. The law says release them. Trump is fighting it. Massie may lose his seat Tuesday for pushing it. And now a $1.7B slush fund for Jan 6 defendants? Don't go quiet. open.substack.com/pub/adamkinz...

With the news that Gov Jared Polis of Colorado just granted clemency to Tina Peters, justice has been once again perverted, and this time by a DEMOCRAT desperate for Donald Trumps adoration. Congrats Jared Polis. I bet you get invited to the WH now

I used to think the constant contradictions in MAGA politics were weakness or embarrassment. I don’t anymore. The contradiction itself has become the badge of loyalty. The more obvious the hypocrisy, the more it proves you’ll defend the tribe no matter what. open.substack.com/pub/adamkinz...

Cassidy played this in the worst possible way. He took a stand on impeachment thinking Trump was finished. Then Trump comes back and he sells out on everything thinking he could appease him somehow. He sold his soul & lost anyway. He loses with his integrity gone. What a legacy.

🚨 BREAKING: The Senate parliamentarian struck the GOP provision that would have spent $1 billion in taxpayer money on Trump’s proposed White House ballroom, according to Senate Budget Committee Democrats. The parliamentarian ruled that the provision violated the Byrd Rule.

Thomas Massie pushed for the release of the Epstein files, and the response has been tens of millions in outside spending, smear campaigns, and coordinated attacks. If this is what they do to a sitting member of Congress, imagine what Epstein survivors face when considering whether to come forward.

Donald Trump appeared so physically diminished departing China that Russian TV coverage labeled him "Trump the Hunchback."

C-SPAN caller regrets drinking Donald Trump's Kool-Aid: "He put us in a war. All he wants right now is for a clean face — he wants the Strait of Hormuz open. Guess what? Before he went there, it was open, and the gas prices were beautiful. Everything this man touches..when are people gonna wake up?"

Body posture tells all.

Chinese citizens are calling Trump an "attention-seeking" influencer. Xi sat him in a shorter chair. Experts are calling it one of the worst summits in modern history. Ben has the full breakdown.

Charlie Angus on impact of Canadian boycott of US travel: "Many tourist locations are talking about drops of 50% ... There's areas where the losses have been as high as 80%. We're not bragging as Canadians. We're doing something to defend our sovereignty and put the pressure on MAGA."
