Friends, I’ve been around politics for over 50 years. I’ve never seen anything as brazenly crooked and corrupt as what Trump and his cronies did this week.

Boycott CBS.

We'd love to see you on June 1 for Unfinished Business: a candid conversation about our country and its future that you won't want to miss. Join me, Nancy Pelosi, and Octavia Spencer: bit.ly/ubjune1

Stephen Colbert aired his final show last night after Paramount fired him to appease Trump. The Ellisons are now eyeing Warner Bros — and Trump's eager to give it to them. His media takeover is happening in broad daylight. Here's what we can do about it.

Republicans canceled a vote to end Trump’s Iran war. They were about to lose, so they refused to let us vote. Americans deserve to know where their leaders stand. They can’t hide forever. Accountability is coming.

Reminder that Henry Winkler is not only a great actor, author of children’s books and a fisherman. He is also a great compassionate human being. Be like Henry.

🚨BOOM: Jasmine Crockett just TORCHED Trump and Republicans for trying to hand January 6 extremists taxpayer money. “Proud Boys are freaking white supremacists. Neo-Nazis are, too… this president, who loves to coddle white supremacists, has decided that they should be given checks.” She’s absolutely right. Americans can barely afford groceries while Trump wants a slush fund for extremists who attacked our Capitol.

Communities have been terrorized. The men who killed Alex Pretti and Renee Good have seen no accountability. Yet Republicans in Congress want even more billions for ICE at the cost of SNAP and Medicaid. Tell them no. act.indivisible.org/sign/tell-your…

The Montana Plan is bipartisan, common-sense, and one of the best opportunities in a long time to put Citizens United where it belongs: in the ashbin of history. Thank you to everyone who came out to our town hall in Butte and showed the rest of the country what it takes to make progress on an issue this important.

This is what Jeff Bezos doesn't want you to know: the super-rich have a secret playbook to get away with paying almost nothing in taxes.

McGovern: It took us forever to compensate the victims of 9/11, and here you have this $1.8 billion slush fund that doesn’t go through any committees or hearings. All of a sudden, they have the money to compensate convicted felons—people who attacked our democracy and tried to overthrow a free and fair election. This is the most corrupt administration in our history.

🚨BREAKING: Republicans just voted AGAINST my amendment to stop Trump's $1.8 billion slush fund from bailing out the convicted felons who assaulted cops on January 6th. You read that right. They blocked us from even debating the issue on the House floor. Beyond shameful.

#BREAKING: Legendary #Maddow: “Joe Biden didn’t trade stocks while he was in office, Barack Obama didn’t trade stocks while he was in office, but Trump is apparently trading stocks while he is in office, and since we got his financial disclosure about those stock trades late last week, detailing this bizarre and incredibly energetic stock trading that the president has been doing while he has been president, now with each passing hour we are getting more and more reporting coming out about how his stock buying as president, tracks with things he’s doing as president to BOOST the value of those stocks.”🤦‍♀️

Trump didn’t just pardon his followers who stormed the U.S. Capitol. He’s now set them up for payments through a slush fund he created to reward his allies—out of your tax dollars. You could not make this up.

This is the MOST corrupt Administration in American history: —Insider trading —Selling pardons —Crypto and real estate deals —Arms deals —BILLIONS in tax breaks for billionaires on the backs of the American people And NOW the IRS giving Trump and convicted rioters BILLIONS in taxpayer dollars. This is outrageous!

For Trump and his friends: - A $1.8 billion slush fund, paid for by you. - A $1 billion ballroom, paid for by you. For you and other American taxpayers: - Millions kicked off health care. - Highest gas prices in 5 years. - Soaring costs for groceries. nbcnews.com/politics/donal…

Trump gets: - $100M arch - $1B ballroom fund - A gold coin with his face on it - A $1.8B slush fund for his MAGA buddies Meanwhile, he's left Americans with higher grocery bills, higher health care costs, and higher gas prices.

Maddow: So in January, Trump buys hundreds of thousands of dollars of stock in Nvidia. Then a week later, his commerce department approves the sale of Nvidia chips to China.  Also in January, Trump buys between 50,000 and $100,000 worth of stock in AMD. One week after he buys it, his commerce department approves AMD doing business in China as well.  The following month, in February, Trump buys millions of dollars worth of stock in Dell. Nine days after he buys millions of dollars worth of stock in Dell, Trump veers off script in a speech in Georgia to tell the crowd literally, quote, go out and buy a Dell computer.  Then in March, Judd Legum at Popular Information reports that Trump repeatedly buys up Thermo Fisher stock, and then he goes and visits Thermo Fisher on a presidential visit and praises the company. That same day, Trump bought hundreds of thousands of dollars of stock in Apple. And then that same day he bought the stock, he did another event where he singled out Apple and Apple CEO Tim cook for praise. Apple a great company. Then after that, Trump buys Micron stock. The very next day, he calls into the Fox News channel and tells them Micron is one of the hottest companies. CNBC reporting Trump makes seven separate purchases of Palantir stock. Hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of Palantir stock. Then he gets on truth social and praises Palantir.

#BREAKING: Velshi: “There’s never been in the history of America, a president who used the office to enrich his himself, his family and his pals as much as or as BLATANTLY as Donald Trump has, whether it’s holding the G-20 at his own golf club in Florida, or hawking Elon Musk’s cars on the White House lawn, or SELLING Trump-branded Bibles made in China which were EXEMPT from Trump tariffs…it has never been clear where the line is between the national interests of the United States and the interests of the person currently occupying the Oval Office.” 😂🤦‍♀️
