Trump is boxed in. Prepare accordingly. I'm afraid to look at this point.

Though their lives were at risk, officers couldn't use their weapons because: a) a round might hit an innocent person, and b) their guns might be taken by the mob. (When Officer Fanone was down, there was a fear that his gun would be lost.) 2/

The testimony of the Capitol Police and MPD officers during the J6 trials is harrowing.

BLANCHE: There's a lot of things that President Trump is the first of. No president had been indicted 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 times either COONS: Correct. No president has been indicted

MacFarlane: A man from Florida was arrested again in recent months, convicted of molestation. According to the police report we reviewed, that defendant tried to silence the victim by promising him future trump reparations money that he was expecting from a fund just like this.

George H.W. Bush kept his assets in a blind trust, as did Bill Clinton. Neither Obama nor Biden traded stocks or bonds while in office. 3,700 trades is probably more than all the trades of all the presidents until now. And he is trading stocks that are affected by his decisions. A walking conflict of interest, at the least, and perhaps insider trading. Just as members of Congress should not be able to trade stocks, so too the president. bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

CNN also reports that this settlement also forces the IRS to end any active audits into Trump, his family, and his businesses Not only does it further protect POTUS from accountability, but he's expanding this shield to Don Jr. and Eric and Ivanka and Jared and their interests

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.

June 1, 1933: The "Fund of German Trade and Industry" is created, a huge slush fund administered by Martin Bormann in the Führer's name. The regime used the funds to compensate SA Stormtroopers who committed street violence, subsize the SS, and enrich Nazi party officials.

Q: Do you believe people who committed violence against Capitol police officer on January 6 should be eligible for compensation from this DOJ fund, and are you or your family members going to be seeking compensation from that fund? TRUMP: Yeah. It will all be dependent on a committee

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.

Incheon's Terminal 2 in Seoul is spooky. There are robots and Gucci stores aplenty, but it's hard to find food or water. It's a giant, liminal space, and I'm stuck here for 8 hours. I got in trouble for trying to talk to the robot dog. I must be tired. I miss Vietnam.

So sad. One officer testified that, on Jan 6th, she was holding on to another officer so he wouldn't get pulled out into the crowd and beaten. She's been receiving death threats and needing protection since then. Trump pardoned her assailants.

Viktor Orbán, who, on paper, owns almost nothing, would be entitled to 38,801,013 HUF in severance pay under the very law he introduced - for plundering our country. He will not receive it.

Mark Burns is hanging out with two Russian women who showed up out of nowhere pretending to be climate scientists. One of them came with a book she wrote about him. It's pretty laughably bad, and they're so obviously spies.

I'm baffled by this tweet. Donald Trump's financial disclosure forms show the people managing his money made 3600+ transactions between January and March. Is Eric Trump really claiming that these were all index-fund transactions? If so, why would you need to make 3600 trades?

Rep. Don Beyer@RepDonBeyer·
Outright lies. Trump's assets aren't in a blind trust, and he bought and sold individual Nvidia stock in 15 separate transactions totaling millions of dollars. That's what Trump's financial disclosure - which has his signature - says. See for yourself: extapps2.oge.gov/201/Presiden.n…
Eric Trump@EricTrump

.@SenWarren All of our assets are invested in a blind trust by the largest financial institutions in broad market indexes. To suggest that individual stocks are being bought or sold, at the discretion of any member of the Trump family, would be a lie and blatantly false. Using a silly example, if you buy the “Schwab 1000,” you will get some exposure to Nvidia - as well as a 1,000 other U.S. companies large- and mid-cap stocks. It’s completely disingenuous to represent anything to the contrary. Please be better than this…
