This week, I will be forcing a vote on legislation to block the sale of nearly half a billion dollars worth of bombs and bulldozers to the Israeli military. The extremist Netanyahu government that has committed genocide in Gaza does not need more military support from American taxpayers.

Ossoff: "The president apparently promised pardons for the entire WH staff, which I guess is the kind of thing you do when you run the WH like a casino. Now, maybe the West Wing is too busy placing Kashi and Polymarket bets on the war to care, but American are getting hurt ... in Donald Trump’s America, the rich get tax cuts, the well-connected get stock tips, and everybody else makes sacrifices."

Armed masked man starts fight at high school ICE protest—turns out to be off duty police sergeant. His plan was to trick students to "assault me"—then "arrest them all." Then called his buddies with rifles to "back him up." Sgt. Dusten Mullen makes $336,000 a year—making him a top 10 earner in the Phoenix Police Department. He is currently on administrative leave—which means he's reassigned to work from home. Incident occurred outside Hamilton High School in Chandler, Arizona.

MORE VULNERABLE TO INFECTION—The coronavirus that causes Covid-19 may spread through the lungs by turning previously resistant cells into targets for infection, a finding that helps explain the widespread inflammation and organ damage seen in severe cases and points to a potential new treatment. Lung cells release tiny particles that carry the key proteins the virus uses to enter cells, researchers at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai in New York found. When those particles are taken up by other cells, including immune and blood vessel cells, they can make them newly vulnerable to infection.

Does this look like a “Red Cross worker” to you?

Trump is now attacking the Pope for speaking out against war while posting images of himself as a messianic figure. This is not only offensive. It is deranged, egomaniacal behavior. When will Republicans in Congress stop blindly following this dangerous and unhinged man?

🚨🇮🇱 BREAKING: The International Court of Justice has just ruled that Israel has committed genocide. Israel’s actions violated the genocide convention.

Mother "is begging" to self deport so she can see her child again—ICE refuses. Separated 4 months now from her 2 year old son—he was sent back to Colombia. "Why are they detaining people who sign deportation papers?" "Because that's how they make money—that is their business." ICE denied her paperwork to be deported to Colombia. Will only agree to deport her to a third country—where her son is not living. Heidy Johana Rave Salazar's 2 year old son depends on a medical treatment to survive. She is desperately asking to be deported so she can help him—but remains locked up at the Adelanto ICE Processing Center in California.

Paolo Zampolli is traveling with the VP during one of the most consequential diplomatic negotiations of this administration, the US-Iran ceasefire talks. Here are the questions nobody in MSM seems to be asking about him. How does a man go from modeling agency owner in the 1990s to introducing Trump to Melania, to real estate partner at the Trump Organization, to UN Ambassador for Dominica, to ocean conservation events with Ghislaine Maxwell, to Kennedy Center trustee, to Special Envoy for Global Partnerships, to walking red carpets with the Vice President in Hungary? In the DOJ’s Epstein files, Zampolli’s name appears in 11 documents. In one email, he is described as a “killer.” In another, Epstein himself warns an associate to “be careful” of Zampolli, calling him “trouble.” The context of the “killer” reference is not fully clear, but the question is worth asking: why is this man traveling with the Vice President? There are multiple sketchy newspaper clippings where the photo is courtesy of ID Models. One describes a model “about to become the world’s most popular ninth-grader.” It notes she was “attending high school classes in Miami” when she was spotted by “ID Models owner Paolo Zampolli.” She was 15 years old. He should be investigated.

WHOA!!! Epstein Survivor Juliette Bryant just released a message to Melania: “Hello Melania Trump. My name is Juliette Bryant. I’m an Epstein survivor. You want girls to testify under oath, well here I am testifying that everything I said is true. Unfortunately a lot of the girls who testified died. Maybe it’s time that you and your husband testify too.”

Donald Trump tried to deport an innocent Tufts student to fill Stephen Miller’s inhumane quota. Now, he’s fired the judge who rightfully stopped him. This is the stuff of dictators.

🚨🚨🚨 Everyone should be talking about this! Media is NOT reporting on this‼️

I need you to sit with this for a second. A sitting US president, the most powerful man on earth, launched a cryptocurrency project where his family quietly pocketed 75% of all revenue before a single retail buyer could even sell their token. No liquidity. No exit. Just a one-way door with a MAGA flag on it. And almost nobody is talking about how utterly devastating this was for the ordinary people who trusted him. World Liberty Financial (WLFI) wasn't built for you. It was built on you. The structure was never hidden, it was just written in the fine print that hype cycles don't let you read. The Trump family and insiders: 75% of token revenue. The retail investor who saw Donald Trump's face on the website, who believed this was the financial revolution he promised, who scraped together $500 or $5,000 because they finally felt like the system was working FOR them for once? They got a token they couldn't sell at launch and a front-row seat to watching their money become someone else's net worth. Think about who bought WLFI. It wasn't hedge funds. It wasn't institutions with lawyers and risk teams. It was regular people. Trump supporters who finally felt included in something big. Crypto newcomers who saw a president endorsing a project and thought "this must be legitimate." People in Ohio, in Texas, in Florida who don't have Bloomberg terminals or insider access, just a phone, a dream, and a wallet they opened because the man they voted for told them this was different. This was theirs. It wasn't theirs. Donald Trump was the "Chief Crypto Advocate." Barron Trump, a teenager, was placed on the advisory board. Eric Trump promoted it. Don Jr. promoted it. Melania had her own NFT plays running in parallel. The entire family transformed the Trump name, a name millions of Americans treat with genuine reverence, into a multi-pronged monetisation machine aimed squarely at the wallets of their most loyal followers. This is the part that should make your blood boil regardless of your politics. These weren't strangers being scammed. These were believers. And belief was the product being sold. Now layer in the conflict of interest that makes this truly historic in its audacity: Trump was simultaneously campaigning on crypto deregulation. He was promising to fire Gary Gensler. He was pledging to make America the "crypto capital of the world." He was dismantling the SEC's enforcement posture. He was, in plain English, using the power of the presidency to remove the exact regulatory framework that exists to protect retail investors from exactly the kind of token structure WLFI was built on. The cop wasn't just looking the other way. The cop was the one running the scheme and had abolished the law at the same time. This is not speculation. This is the documented, public, on-chain, SEC-filing reality of what happened. And here's what kills me most. The crypto space spent years fighting for legitimacy. Builders sacrificed. Developers worked for free. Communities organised. The entire movement was founded on one idea: that financial systems could exist that didn't prey on the little guy. That code could replace the gatekeepers. That ordinary people could finally access the same tools as the wealthy and powerful. And then the most powerful family in America looked at that movement, looked at that dream, and saw an audience to monetise. They didn't join crypto. They strip-mined it. The people who got rich from WLFI had their names on the term sheet. The people who got poor had their hope on the line. There will be those who say retail knew the risks. That crypto is always speculative. That nobody forced anyone to buy. And technically, legally, in the fine-print sense, maybe. But there is something categorically different about a president of the United States putting his face, his family, his political brand and his policy power behind a token sale aimed at his own voter base. The asymmetry of information, trust, and power is so extreme it breaks every normal framework for "buyer beware." When the most trusted person in your political world tells you this is the future, "do your own research" is not a real defence against that. It was never a fair fight. The Trumps will move on. They always do. There will be another project, another launch, another opportunity to convert political capital into financial capital while the people who funded it are left holding bags they can't unload. This is the pattern. This is the business model. But retail crypto investors deserve to hear it said plainly, loudly and without the usual hedging: You were not investors in their vision. You were the exit liquidity for their wallets. And they did it while calling it freedom.

When a war is started by a megalomaniac who quickly becomes bored with the war he started and just wants to declare victory, this is what you get: “As Mr. Vance was detailing the impasse in negotiations, President Trump and Secretary of State Marco Rubio were at a sports arena in Miami for UFC 327, watching a video montage of past fights. Earlier in the evening, from Washington, Mr. Trump had projected nonchalance, claiming it did not matter to him whether the U.S. delegation reached an agreement with Iran. “We win, regardless,” he said. “We’ve defeated them militarily.”

I blame his voters for this. I blame every Republican elected official. I blame his media sycophants. I blame every media outlet, university president, private company CEO, and world leader who bent the knee to him. They’re all to blame for this. They ALL taught him to believe he can do whatever he wants. They ALL taught him to believe he should be worshipped.

Pope Leo XIV didn’t say Donald Trump’s name today, but it’s hard for anyone to hear these words and not think of Donald Trump: “We are surrounded by a delusion of omnipotence that is becoming increasingly unpredictable and aggressive. “The balance within the human family has been severely destabilized. Even the holy name of God, the God of life, is being dragged into discourses of death.”
