Mike Fanone: " Nobody has done more to normalize political violence in this country than Donald J. Trump and his administration."

BREAKING: The Trump admin has seemingly begun construction on a triumphal arch in DC. Watch to learn more!

Tom Joscelyn: "In the lead-up to January 6th, Antifa was used as a boogeyman to activate the far-right even then… how much is this boogeyman that they're creating of Antifa going to enlarge the right-wing terrorist threat that this government doesn't want to deal with?"

BREAKING: Trump calls his gold statue a "landmark."

More Kash Patel Drama: FBI Director Took a "VIP Snorkeling Trip" in Hawaii. #WasteFraudAbuse

Tom Joscelyn on January 6th: "There was a large element of organized right-wing extremists who came there with bad intentions to storm the Capitol and had plans to do so. People don't realize that, I think, still to this day.

The DOJ is set to drop fraud and bribery charges against Indian billionaire Gautam Adani after he hired one of Trump's personal attornies, Robert Giuffra. In a presentation to the DOJ, Giuffra allegedly claimed Adani would invest $10 billion in the U.S. economy if the charges were dropped.

Grocery prices rose faster in April than in any month over the last four years. Trump's war of choice with Iran makes clear that bringing down prices is not his priority.

According to X Community Notes, the $500 Trump Mobile phone is just a rebranded T-Mobile device made in China that retails for under $130.

Inflation just hit 3.8% — the highest it's been since 2023. But Trump shrugged off Americans' financial pain when asked whether soaring gas and grocery prices factored into his negotiations to end his war of choice with Iran.

Tom Joscelyn: "They wanna say that Antifa is an organization that has a real structure, and that it's supported by the broader Democrat left…Therefore they can go after the Democrat left and nonprofits that fund them because they're in cahoots supposedly with Antifa."

This administration isn’t even pretending to care about the price hikes Americans are facing. We're bringing that home for people. Trump is focused on his ballroom. Not your grocery prices. Not your healthcare. Not your gas prices. Not you. newsletter.ofthebrave.org/p/were-putti...

DHS is investigating Kristi Noem's purchase of $1 billion worth of vacant warehouses to potentially become ICE detention centers. She paid above 12% over market value, wasting millions in taxpayer dollars.

Kash Patel assembled a "payback squad" of FBI agents to go after more of Trump's perceived political enemies.

Tom Joscelyn: "MAGA has created this whole conspiracy world where the real heroes of that day who defended the Capitol have been turned into the villains. And the real villains of that day — the extremists and rioters who attacked the Capitol — have been turned into heroes."

Trump is weighing pardons for 250 criminals to celebrate America's 250th anniversary.

The Trump administration was caught lying about the war in Iran, claiming that the U.S. had "decimated" Iran's military capabilities despite NY Times reporting that Iran still retains access to most of its missile sites along the Strait of Hormuz.

Tom Joscelyn on Trump's National Counterterrorism Strategy: "This is the document that the January 6th administration would come up with…No mention of right-wing extremism or terrorism at all…Yet they try and build left-wing terrorism into this boogeyman."

A Metro PD officer who almost died defending the Capitol on January 6th and an investigator who spent years digging for the truth of what happened that day show each other respect. This is what real patriotism looks like. Thank you Mike Fanone and Tom Joscelyn.

Rep. Garcia: "The law is clear. There's not only an act that Congress passed, there's a subpoena that legally binds the DOJ to release all these files. So Todd Blanche right now is breaking the law."

Rep. Garcia on Pam Bondi: "We need a commitment from Chairman Comer that this interview is live, videotaped and released to the American public…We expect her to answer why only 50% of the files have been released…[and] why they did such a horrific job of protecting survivors."

Rep. Garcia: "The acting Attorney General in the Department of Justice [Todd Blanche] basically said that there's nothing else to do with the Epstein case, that we need to move on from it. That is just BS."

Trump's reflecting pool drama gets even worse after he lied about not knowing the contractor hired to do the job.

Rep. Jason Crow: "I never believe that [the United States is] in decline. I mean, [the Trump] administration is doing their best to put us into decline…The things that make America great — our alliances, our innovation, our bipartisanship — this administration is tearing down."

Rep. Crow: "I'm not confident in anything that Director Patel says. He has contorted the truth repeatedly, he has weaponized the FBI against [Trump's] perceived political opponents…There's a problem with his potential drinking, his absences, his intoxication on the job."

America was promised a gold-plated Trump phone. Now it looks like America may never get one.

Rep. James Walkinshaw: "There are a handful of Republicans on our committee and in Congress who have courageously put [the Epstein] survivors ahead of protecting the [Trump] administration. They deserve enormous credit, but they're in the minority in the Republican conference."

Rep. Walkinshaw on Epstein-related prosecutions: "We have a brick wall in the Trump administration and Department of Justice right now…It might be up to a different administration who's really committed to the accountability that the survivors we heard from today are demanding."

Trump is now floating Venezuela as America’s 51st state. Yes, Venezuela.

A 22-foot gold statue of Trump was unveiled at one of his golf courses last week. Guess who else does this?

New CNN polling just came out, and its brutal for Trump. 7 in 10 Americans disapprove of how he’s managing the economy, and the other numbers aren’t any better.

New data reveals how Trump is making your life more expensive.

.@SarahAMatthews1: "To advance in the Republican party nowadays, you have to have complete loyalty to Trump and be willing to say that the 2020 election was stolen from him and push those lies…They don't care about the good of the country. If they did, they would tell the truth."

Sarah Matthews on the 2020 election: "Trump's gone through countless lawsuits and he's never been able to prove anything…The only thing that is insecure is Donald Trump's ego, because he can't accept the fact that he lost fair & square to Joe Biden."

Sarah Matthews: "They know that they can't win on the merits. They can't win on their policies. They're watching these cratering poll numbers. So they have to do tactics like disenfranchise voters and threaten to send ICE to the polls to try to intimidate people."

Sarah Matthews: "People are thinking…How can I afford my groceries? How can I fill up my gas tank? Then they're looking at what the Trump administration is focused on — re-litigating the 2020 election, going after Trump's perceived political enemies, and starting wars."

Sarah Matthews: "I really am thankful to someone like James Comey, who went out on TV and is pushing back…He's showing that he will not stand for that and that he is fighting for our democracy. I'm really grateful to him for his courage and bravery."

Sarah Matthews: "Bill Barr, someone who I wish would be more outspoken — a good, smart man of integrity, who knows that Trump is a danger…There are plenty of other folks from the Trump administration who I would love to be more vocal, calling out these abuses of power."

Trump's Transportation Secretary is wildly out of touch.

FCC Commissioner Anna Gomez: "Any action that the [FCC] takes to try to retaliate against Disney for its free speech is legally suspect, and it will be reversed in court. That's why I'm so very pleased to see them choose courage over capitulation in this case."

FCC Commissioner Gomez: "My letter was meant to call this out and encourage Disney to continue its courageous pushback. What we've learned from [the Trump] administration is capitulation doesn't get you protection — capitulation just has them coming back to demand more and more."

Trump's Reflecting Pool repairs now cost $13.1 million. His handpicked contractor was originally supposed to do it for $1.8 million.

Q: "What is your original sin, in Trump's mind?" Comey: "The investigation of people in the Trump orbit that began in the summer of 2016…My original sin was doing that which any FBI director would have done…Saying, 'we need to investigate' and then support[ing] the investigation."

James Comey: "There doesn't appear to be anybody left who is willing to stand for institutional imperatives, norms, things like the rule of law, in the face of a desire by the president…We're in for a rough ride, which shouldn't shock anyone who knew what Donald Trump was."

James Comey: "I am going to continue to speak up because I have grandchildren, and someday they'll be old enough to understand this time, and I want them to know what pop did during this period of time. I hope everybody feels that way."
