@atrupar @adamscochran Lol. Does he mean the guy who manages billions in Middle Eastern investment money and the real estate mogul who accepted tens of millions from the UAE days before Trump was inaugurated?

Marco Rubio: "Steve and Jared and working on the diplomatic path very hard" (Would be nice if we had a secretary of state ... )

@prestonstew_ The Russian army has already abducted 10’s of thousands of Ukrainian children, murders civilians, and uses torture and sexual violence against occupied territories. What chivalry?

Russian milblogger Alexander Kots says it's time to take the gloves off, "Maybe it's time to stop waging war according to the chivalrous code and start hitting the ruling elite of Ukraine?"

@Bubblebathgirl I wonder if it’s because the Trump family has accepted hundreds of millions of dollars from foreign nationals while serving in official government capacities?

Media coverage of President Trump has been ridiculously negative ever since he entered politics. But you don’t really get a sense of how ridiculous it’s been until you compare it to their coverage of Biden. Even after Biden had the worst administration in U.S. history and was exposed as completely unfit to serve, the media still covered him more favorably than they have Trump throughout and even between his two terms. MSM is the pusher of TDS and why many Democrats and some RINOs continue to surge uncontrollably farther to the loony left.

@8figureARR @RyanHoliday The Trump and Witkoff families accepted half a billion dollars from a UAE Royal Family member days before the inauguration and now the Trump and Witkoff families are negotiating with those countries on the United States behalf.

@RyanHoliday the most corrupt family in history is a death match between the clinton’s and bidens, so your very first sentence is a non sequitur, the rest is an imagined reality playing inside your head which you imbue upon the world you need psychological help.

Lol. Rolling your eyes at the performative philosophy of a member of the most corrupt family in American history is apparently 'fuming'? Although if there was anything to be mad about these days, I think objecting to people lighting the world on fire so they can make a killing in prediction markets and kickbacks is probably it. yahoo.com/entertainment/…

@AndrewKolvet We added no new jobs to the economy over the last year, every commodity we depend on is more expensive, and we’ve added trillions to our deficit. We can all feel the state of the economy right now as one party controls all branches of government.

President Trump just announced that 100% of all new jobs created during his second term have been in the PRIVATE SECTOR Going by the data, federal employement is at the lowest level in 60 years, dating back to 1966.

@AdMalm15 Fair enough. Is it problematic that he ran on the platform of no new wars? That he lied to us last year saying Iran’s nuclear capabilities were completely obliterated? That there has been no vote on a war he started that the majority of Americans oppose? pewresearch.org/politics/2026/…

@PeterWoekel Bull Politicians have been gunning for Iran for nearly 50 years. Trump's the only one with the balls to do it.

💯 % 🔥

@libsoftiktok Why don’t you use numbers from a trusted government agency or unbiased think tank? FAIR is a heavily biased anti-immigration non profit.

Fun fact of the day! Illegal aliens contribute about $31 billion in tax revenue per year, according to a report by FAIR. But they cost Americans an estimated $182 billion per year. Never let a Democrat claim illegals aren't a drain on the economy.

@1bravecat1 @libsoftiktok Lol why do those sources not count? We are 40 trillion dollars in debt. Every billion counts.

@libsoftiktok What are the components of the taxes? Because sorry not sorry but taxes that must be paid by everyone doing an activity (like buying stuff and paying sales tax) don't count.

@angiekaye999 @JonLemire The Voting Rights Act was created to allow minorities to vote for who they wanted and recieve representation for that vote. What we saw prior to the VRA was minorities voting for who they wanted and receiving no representation for those votes. That is what was just undone.

@JonLemire Why do democrats think they own the black or minority vote ? Don’t people have a mind to think for themselves ? Or do democrats feel they still need to control blacks ?

@MarkH9222812974 @JonLemire @tyillc This paragraph would make a lot more sense if not for the context of the history of the United States.

@JonLemire @tyillc This is hyperbolic partisan rhetoric that frames standard constitutional interpretations—color-blind application of the law and limits on federal overreach—as enabling “white domination.” Ds need mental help.

This is the question worth asking every time a story like this comes out: if there’s no money for your health care, your kids’ schools, or the programs your family depends on, where is it going?      The Trump Administration just paid $17.4 million to fix two decorative fountains outside the White House. Three years ago, the same job was estimated at $3.3 million.       And guess what? The construction company that got the contract is the same one building Trump’s $400 million White House ballroom, and they got it without any competitive bidding whatsoever. The contract wasn’t even posted publicly, as required by federal law.      So how do you get from $3.3 million to $17.4 million? They added 27% for inflation. Then they added another 24% for inflation again. Then they tacked on additional charges that federal contracting experts said they had never seen before in their careers.      And the justification for bypassing the normal bidding process entirely? The fountains needed to be ready for America’s 250th anniversary. It’s worth noting that these fountains haven’t worked for nearly a decade. If the repairs were truly that urgent, why are they only fixing them now, and why are taxpayers footing a surcharge for the rush?      You are paying for this.   nytimes.com/2026/04/25/us/…

@BasedMikeLee Didn’t you just do that in your home state?

Democrats aren’t joking They’ll nuke the filibuster Then pack the Supreme Court Then award statehood to DC and Puerto Rico, making it unlikely that Republicans will ever win another election for decades Let’s nuke it now and just creat an even playing field

@UnderdogNBA @JakeLFischer A team of young all defense players who can’t shoot seems like a real risky all in move for either of these guys who are both old and at injury risk. Who’s going to shoot around them and what assets would the blazers have left to acquire more shooting?

Blazers expected to emerge as a prime trade suitor for Giannis Antetokounmpo. Portland would be considered a potential suitor for Anthony Davis if pursuit of Giannis falls short. (per @JakeLFischer)

@astronomy89 America did. The Greatest Generation underwent the largest wealth gain in modern history while top earners were taxed at a much higher rate than they are now.

There is no economy in the history of the world that has taxed its way to economic growth and prosperity.

@SteveRattner @Morning_Joe @AdMalm15

Foreign contributions to political campaigns are banned. Trump found a loophole—crypto—allowing him to rake in hundreds of millions from foreign regimes buying influence. My @Morning_Joe Chart.

@JasonJournoDC @ScottJenningsKY lol, Scott spouts talking points and then can’t respond when someone brings genuine facts to the table. He repeatedly ignores how unpopular this war is, how little the American people know about what the actual goals are, and refuses to acknowledge the consequences.

💥NEW: Geraldo Rivera says Adam Mockler was "D*CK" to @ScottJenningsKY before he snapped💥 "Chris, the kid was a d*ck ... he was really being a d*ck. Shut up. Go out and get some life experience." "There was a freshness about it."

@whisperingcandl @darkprometheus1 @Ike_Saul @grok Fair enough. Even with transparency, it doesn’t solve the problem of public officials being able to invest financially in the industries they regulate. Seems incredibly dangerous to have essentially no oversight of this in either Congress or the White House.

If you run a backtest of some of the larger volume people, you can do quite well. I wouldn't say "massive". Nontrivial though, in some trades. Others not so much. I don't follow they're trades as a general rule and I still consistently end up in the 30th percentile of their 5 yr returns. Again, there is no abuse with full transparency. That's where I would focus my legislative efforts. More rapid, consistent transparency.

I haven't seen anyone tracking all of the alleged (or open) Trump corruption, self-dealing, and quid pro quos in one place. For the last 15 months, I've been tracking every single tip+story I can find and organizing it. Today, I published a 6,000 word piece with every example.

@whisperingcandl @darkprometheus1 @Ike_Saul @grok Even if you follow the trades, their disclosures are only required within 45 days, giving a massive buffer for increased profitability gained on insider information. Regardless, we’re letting people profit off industries they regulate. The room for abuse is massive.

@PeterWoekel @darkprometheus1 @Ike_Saul @grok IMO, it's only bullshit if 1) you don't follow the trades, 2) if we don't hold members of congress accountable for perpetually delaying disclosure.

@darkprometheus1 @whisperingcandl @Ike_Saul @grok It’s legal for Congress to participate in insider trading and yet we all know it’s bullshit

Ans what the AI told you is not at all illegal or corruption 🤣🤣 Otherwise the entire government would be in prison cause of their family who arent in government got access to something because of their relationship. Thats not how it works. You cannor bar family who are private citizens from doing business. Thats why congres cannot make a stock trading bill that prevents Pelosi from trading cause her husband who is a private citizen as a hedge fund manager is trading, not her. You cannot prevent him as a private citizen from participating in the free market.
