The President is now exempt from our tax laws while everyone else has to obey them. Got it. It's just mind blowing that is what's happening in America.

Asked Cassidy about Trump’s endorsement in the Texas Senate race “I thought Ken Paxton was a felon,” he said

Oh, that's a real shame. A shame they don't have more drones for today's attack, that is.

At his confirmation hearing, Todd Blanche told me that if an ethics lawyer instructed him to recuse himself from cases involving his former client, Donald Trump, he would. A new report shows that's exactly what ethics lawyers advised. I'm launching an inquiry into whether Blanche followed that guidance.

PATTY MURRAY: You are encouraging Americans to go road tripping. How much did you rack up on gas on yours? SEAN DUFFY: I don't know, but I know it was not as much as it was under Biden, which was $5 a gallon. It's only $4.50 now MURRAY: Holy cow. Americans don't have corporate sponsors to pay for their gas

Reporter: "How personally disappointed or frustrated are you with the president's decision to endorse Ken Paxton today?" Senate Majority Leader Thune: “None of us controls what the president does.” (You may not control Trump, but you have plenty of power to stand up to him.)

Another hurdle for Trump’s taxpayer-supported fund for convicted criminals Vice Chair of Senate Appropriations Cmte, Sen Patty Murray (D-WA), says she’ll use appropriations process to block fund Murray would hold the gavel if Dems win Senate appropriations.senate.gov/news/minority/…

More than 400,000 people were affected by the leak but only Donald Trump gets a $1.8 billion dollar slush fund

Absolutely insane levels of corruption happening right before your eyes.

“We are only a year and a half into Trump’s second term and he has ordered bombing in seven countries while starting major military ‘excursions’ in two without the consent of Congress, or the blessing of the American people. POTUS is building a war machine to benefit his own business interests - and innocent people are suffering and dying. Which, given the Trump I knew in my years on television production, will only please him further. He is a very unwell and demented man, and the same family that failed to protect the world from such a bad seed is now profiting from his reckless military misadventures - most prominently his two eldest sons. They know that the more wars their old man starts while in office, the longer they will profit from all the businesses they are starting that are now receiving U.S. Defense Department contracts. If you don’t think Cuba is next on this list, you’re not paying attention: they are already laying the groundwork. Look for a preemptive attack on the communist Caribbean island in the near future -under the guise of preventing them from seeking weapons that could harm the United States, most probably drones. Trump has also dispatched the odious Louisiana Governor, Jeff Landry, to Greenland this week to insert himself in the Future Greenland Conference in order to sow discord and use the power of the United States to bully an ally, all to assuage Trump’s imperialist interests. It will also provide further distraction from the Epstein files and give Putin a little cover from the successful assaults by Ukraine on Moscow. All of these things are related; POTUS is essentially a marionette dancing on strings that are being pulled by much more powerful men interested in creating a multipolar world. The good news is we do not have to accept this insanity.” open.substack.com/pub/noelcasler…

It’s important to understand that it isn’t only Trump who is deeply corrupt here. It’s every Republican elected official who doesn’t say or do anything about this staggering corruption. Every one of them sees it and knows it’s wrong.

GARAMENDI: Did CENTCOM fire on Iranian attackers earlier this month? ADM COOPER: Yes GARAMENDI: Is it your assessment that hostilities have ceased since April? COOPER: We remain in ceasefire, yes GARAMENDI: You just cannot answer a question directly

NEW: Epstein survivor Annie Farmer about Todd Blanche testimony about wanting to hear from Epstein survivors: "Blanche’s suggestion that survivors reach out to the Dept of Justice to re-report the crimes committed against them is beyond insulting. Many of us have already done that, repeatedly"

Senator John Cornyn slams Ken Paxton: “Do you think you can trust this guy on anything he says? Lies to his family, lies to senior staff he handpicked, lies to taxpayers. Fool me once shame on you; fool me twice shame on me.”

HUGE NEWS: A Trump-appointed lawyer resigned rather than approve Trump's $1.7B "Anti-Weaponization Fund" set up to pay J6ers. When will Republicans stand up and speak out against this blatant corruption? Watch this full story and more breaking news at AdamKinzinger.com

The fact that Thomas Massie is fighting for his political life in a Republican primary because he wants pedophiles to face justice is not a good look for the Republican party.

NEW: Epstein survivors blast Todd Blanche for suggesting he met with them or their lawyers. “Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche has not met with any of us.”

Blanche: That’s not what I said. Van Hollen: I’m reading from your transcript.

This is false from Todd Blanche—he has not met with Epstein survivors, and the DOJ has not had an open door policy to lawyers for the survivors.
