Sean Hannity: "Homicide, rape, sexual assault, sexual assault of minors..."
Justin Jones: "Are you going through Trump's charges?"
Absolutely brutal. Hannity walked right into it.
Tennessee Rep. Justin Jones; one of the Tennessee Three expelled from the legislature in 2023 for protesting gun violence.
This is what fearless looks like.

Wow, no one found this horrific Donald Trump mention in the Epstein files because it was a handwritten letter that wasn't indexed properly by the DOJ. How convenient?
This woman alleges that Donald Trump was involved with Jeffrey Epstein in the sale of young women to the sex trafficking ring of Epstein and the Saudis.
She also claims that Trump forced her to miscarriage after she got pregnant.
See the entire 32 page letter on the DOJ website: efta01682031.pdf

I’m calling for an investigation and articles of impeachment for Governor Jared Polis and his commutation of Tina Peters.
Tina Peters was convicted on seven counts, including four felonies, for allowing unauthorized access to Mesa County’s voting system, lying to investigators, and obstructing the Colorado Secretary of State. She was sentenced to nine years by a jury of her peers. The Republican prosecutor who put her there called it the most aggravated attempt to influence a public servant he had ever seen.
While Governor Polis has the authority to commute that sentence, he expressed no interest in doing so until Donald Trump pressured him to. Like so many of our elected leaders in this moment, the Governor chose appeasement and capitulation over democracy.
A governor who uses a constitutional power to assist an unlawful federal coercion scheme has violated his oath to defend the U.S. Constitution and Colorado’s independence. This is grounds for impeachment.
I am calling for an immediate investigation into any collusion between Jared Polis and the Trump administration. I am also calling on the Colorado State Legislature to convene a special session to consider articles of impeachment against Governor Polis.
The election officials of Colorado fought honorably to protect your vote. Jared Polis undid that work by buckling to Trump’s threat to withhold public funds from hungry Colorado children, clean water, and disaster relief.
My generation has seen the consequences of Democrats not standing up for justice, and we refuse to continue down this path. We are sick of corporate politicians putting their donors, ambition, and privilege ahead of real people. The answer to authoritarianism is not accommodation.
Donald Trump‘s corrupt acts compound one after the other, and if we allow this corruption to go unanswered, it will erode what little is left of our democracy.

I’m calling on the General Assembly of Colorado to vote to reconvene for special session for the purpose of impeaching or censuring the Governor of Colorado. The Governor commuted Tina Peters’ sentence after the legislative session, likely in an effort to avoid accountability for misconduct. The people of Colorado are demanding accountability.

Trump just got exposed for running the biggest insider trading operation in American history.
Nancy Pelosi traded $5 million in stocks and Congress lost its mind.
Trump literally executed $750 MILLION worth of stock trades in ONE quarter while being President.
His ethics filing just dropped and the numbers are genuinely unprecedented in history:
Between January and March 2026, Donald Trump personally executed 3,700 individual stock transactions worth between $220 million and $750 million.
That's roughly 60 trades PER DAY.
While signing executive orders, meeting foreign leaders, and making policy decisions that directly impact the companies he's buying and selling.
Now here's where it gets really insane:
On February 10, Trump bought between $1 million and $5 million worth of Dell stock.
Three months later, on May 8, he stood at a Mother's Day event at the White House, thanked Michael Dell by name, and told Americans to "go out and buy a Dell."
Dell stock surged 14.6% that day to an all-time high of $263.99.
Since Trump's February purchase, Dell is up 96%.
And 5 months BEFORE Trump bought Dell stock, Michael and Susan Dell donated $6.25 billion to Trump Accounts, one of the largest philanthropic commitments to a sitting president's signature program in modern history.
So the timeline goes: Dell donates $6.25 billion to Trump's program -> Trump buys Dell stock ->Trump tells America to buy Dell from the White House podium -> Stock hits all-time high
And that's just ONE stock...
The same filing shows Trump bought Nvidia stock on February 10. One week later, Nvidia announced a massive chip deal with Meta.
He bought more Nvidia stock one week BEFORE his own Commerce Department approved the sale of Nvidia chips to Saudi Arabia.
He bought Intel stock starting in March 2026. The US government already owned a 9.9% stake in Intel worth over $41 billion. On April 30, Trump posted on Truth Social praising Intel, writing that "Intel Stock continues to rise."
Intel jumped 3% in after-hours and is now up 140% year-to-date.
He bought Palantir stock while his administration was actively handing them billion-dollar government contracts for immigration enforcement and defense.
He bought Robinhood stock while his own Trump Accounts program uses Robinhood as the broker.
He's currently sitting on over 100% profit on AMD, Intel, Bloom Energy, Marvell Technology, and at least 10 other positions.
Every single president since Lyndon B. Johnson has used a blind trust to avoid exactly this situation. But Trump didn't.
His assets sit in a trust controlled by his own children, and the filings show a broker acted as agent on several trades.
The White House says the portfolio is "independently managed."
But here's what independently managed looks like:
Buy Dell stock. Three months later, publicly endorse Dell from the White House. Stock hits all-time high.
Buy Nvidia stock. One week later, your own government approves their chip sales. Stock rips.
Buy Intel stock. Post about Intel on Truth Social. Stock jumps. The government you run already owns a 10% stake.
Buy Palantir. Hand them contracts. Buy Robinhood. Route a federal program through their platform.
Nancy Pelosi got absolutely destroyed for her husband's stock trades.
Her husband's total disclosed trades in his most controversial year were worth roughly $5 million.
Trump just disclosed up to $750 MILLION in a single quarter.
While making the actual policy decisions that move these stocks.
This isn't a left or right issue.
We're talking about the President of the United States averaging 60 stock trades per day in companies his own administration regulates, contracts with, and publicly endorses.
What do you think?

Man if only the last guy in office didn’t kill one of the biggest most important oil pipeline deals in the first week of his presidency. If only that same guy didn’t deplete our strategic oil reserves. We could’ve used those in times like these.
Oh well…

“Fifty-four years ago, in 1971, my grandmother Katharine Graham, publisher of The Washington Post, risked everything to stand up to a corrupt president. That president sought to destroy her newspaper’s autonomy. Today, faced with another such president, Jeff Bezos, the paper’s new owner, is tearing down the very newspaper she defended.”

Mike Johnson just had a meltdown on Fox News about "mini-Mamdanis" popping up everywhere. He accidentally told the whole country exactly why Republicans are about to get crushed.
The Speaker of the House went on Fox News and lost it. Not over a policy fight, not over a scandal, but over the fact that progressive Democrats are starting to win and people actually like what they're doing.
His exact words:
"Mini-Mamdanis popping up all around the country, and they're openly avowed to socialist Marxist ideology. This is something we have never seen before in American history. This is about moving away from a constitutional republic to a communist utopian ideology. And that's a dangerous thing for the future of the country."
Translation: People are starting to like Democrats who actually fight for them, and I'm panicking.
And yes, the "mini-Mamdanis" are absolutely real. Graham Platner in Maine. Brian Poindexter in Pennsylvania. Abdul El-Sayed in Michigan. All running on Mamdani-style platforms. All gaining traction. All scaring the absolute hell out of Republicans and the corporate Democrats who told you for decades that progressive policies are unwinnable.
Why is this happening? Because Mamdani just proved every one of them wrong.
He inherited a $12 billion deficit from the corrupt Eric Adams administration. He erased it without slashing public services and without raising taxes on working New Yorkers. He's investing $122 million to hire 1,000 new teachers.
He just turned the blocks in front of 50 NYC public schools into car-free "Soccer Streets" so kids can play in celebration of the World Cup.
That's the nightmare Mike Johnson is screaming about on Fox News. Not communism. Not a "utopian ideology." Teachers. Parks. A balanced budget. Kids playing soccer.
Republicans spent decades convincing Americans that government can't do anything well, that progressives will bankrupt them, that taxing billionaires will end civilization. Mamdani called the bluff. The math worked. The schools opened. The streets filled with kids. And now every red-baiting Republican talking point is collapsing in real time.
Mike Johnson isn't afraid of communism. He's afraid of competence. He's afraid Americans will look at New York, then look at the Republican-run hellscapes across this country, and start asking obvious questions.
Bring on the mini-Mamdanis. Every single one of them.

Tina Peters is guilty as sin and a disgrace to Colorado.
She tried to undermine Colorado’s free and fair election system. When she was caught red-handed, she was prosecuted by a Republican district attorney and rightfully convicted by a jury of her peers.
Reducing her sentence sends the wrong message to those seeking to undermine trust in our elections and it will do nothing to deter Donald Trump’s illegal attacks on Colorado. I strongly disagree with this decision.

@RRunner1111 @_wej01 It is not rare. It happened to me during my first pregnancy. In today’s world I would be dead. If you did your research you would know this is common.

Had a 45-minute conversation with my 15-year-old son tonight about abortion.
He came in hot with “there should be restrictions.”
So I went hard.
Not to bully him — to build him.
We talked about bias. About whose body we’re actually discussing. About what it means to hold an opinion on something that will never, ever affect your body.
I asked him to look up the stats. Read the actual data. Then come back and finish this sentence:
“I’m a man, and I should have the final say over a woman’s body because…”
He couldn’t finish it.
That’s the point.
He’s 15. He’s allowed to be wrong. What matters is that he’s willing to think — really think — not just echo what he’s heard.
Raising boys who become men who understand bodily autonomy isn’t optional.
It’s the whole job and now I’m tired because he gets these opinions from kids in school. Gawd.

I vehemently disagree with Gov. Polis’s decision to commute Tina Peters’ sentence. She broke the law, undermined our elections, and was convicted by a jury of her peers.
With Trump continuing to attack Colorado, we must stand strong for our institutions and the rule of law.
