🚨 THIS IS INSANE. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick's sons could be making 3 to 5x returns on every dollar they spent buying tariff refund rights. Cantor Fitzgerald, now run by Lutnick's sons Brandon and Kyle, was buying tariff refund claims from companies at 20 to 30 cents on the dollar. The firm told clients it had "capacity to trade up to several hundred million" in these claims. They confirmed at least one $10 million trade was already executed as of July 2025. They said they expected that number to "balloon in the coming weeks." That was 9 months ago. Today those claims are worth 100 cents on the dollar. The refund portal is live, $166 billion in refunds are being processed. If Cantor bought $100 million in refund rights at 25 cents on the dollar, they spent $25 million. They now collect $100 million from the government. That is a $75 million profit. A 300% return. If they scaled to "several hundred million" as they told clients they could, the profits run into the hundreds of millions. Howard Lutnick was the architect of the tariff policy. He pushed Trump to impose them. He fought against officials who wanted to limit them. Then he left Cantor Fitzgerald to his sons and transferred his equity into a trust benefiting them. Tax free under government ethics rules. He received $360 million from the buyout. His sons positioned the firm to profit from the exact policy their father built. Their father publicly championed tariffs he knew could be struck down while his sons were buying refund claims betting they would be.

Dear MAGA folks: Why is the trump Administration giving tariff refunds to American importers? Because trump lied to you when he said foreign countries pay the tariffs. Americans paid his tariff tax. He disrespects you because he thinks you will believe anything he says.

“As of today, I no longer consider myself a Catholic” Fox News’ Sean Hannity makes it pretty clear: Trump comes before everything, even over his religion. It’s a cult.

Ossoff: How much do you guys know about Jared Kushner—Ivanka’s husband? He’s on the Saudi payroll for $2 billion. And now he’s leading American diplomacy in the Middle East, apparently, while at the very same time asking princes and sheikhs to give him billions more. Can you imagine a normal sitting U.S. ambassador just hitting MBS for billions? But he’s a Trump, a royal, a princeling. The rules are for us, not for them. And it’s not just Jared. Never before have we seen so little effort to hide so much corruption. The Mar-a-Lago mafia has taken American corruption to spectacular new heights.

Probably the most accurate nailing of the MAGA base I have ever seen.

The pedophile psychopath, with saber in hand, dancing to the gay anthem YMCA — this was the night America's allies came to the horrifying realization that the American people have lost their fucking minds. 😳👇

As you drive home 5mph under the speed limit to conserve fuel and take a smaller portion at the dinner table tonight so that your kids can have full bellies, just remember that MAGA Mike Johnson and the "totally not a cult" MAGA-GOP have created a new award out of thin air to please Dear Leader. They're calling it the "America First" award, and it's a statue made with 18K gold. He'll put it on a shelf somewhere - maybe the tariff shelf - and look at it fondly as proof of what a great leader he is as you lie in bed wondering if fried bologna sandwiches are a thing you can still do as an adult. What was that the Good Book used to say about golden idols and idol worship? Your pain is a feature, not a bug - and I fucking screamed from the rooftops warning you it was coming for you 2 years ago, but you didn't wanna listen. I was willing to vote against my own interests for the good of the many, but you demanded I prosper while you suffer. Learned your lesson yet?

Trump spent months calling NATO obsolete. Threatening Canada with the 51st state. Slapping tariffs on allies. Demanding Europe pay up or lose protection. Insulting world leaders to their faces. Abandoning Ukraine. Calling Germany weak and France irrelevant. Now he needs them. France: no. Germany: no. Norway: no. Canada: never. Japan: officially no. Switzerland: airspace closed. You don’t spend a year burning every bridge and then call for backup when the building is on fire. $21 billion spent. 14 Americans dead. Oil at $102. The Strait mined. Taiwan surrounded. Baghdad evacuated. NATO threatened with a “very bad future.” The allies didn’t abandon America. America spent a year telling them to leave. They listened. Never stop connecting the dots.

🚨MAJOR BREAKING: Trump is now threatening NATO with a “very bad future” if allies don’t help with the Iran war. The same war that: — Had no congressional authorization — Was launched on “a feeling” — No NATO ally was consulted on — No NATO ally voted for — A classified briefing called “totally incoherent” France officially rejected sending warships. Germany said no. Norway said no. Canada said never. Switzerland closed its airspace. 10 countries. Zero warships. Now Trump is threatening the alliance that has defended Western democracy for 75 years because they won’t join a war he started alone, can’t explain, can’t end, and has cost $21 billion in two weeks. Article 5 of NATO — the collective defense clause — was invoked once in history. After September 11th. Every NATO ally showed up. Trump started a war without asking anyone. Now he’s threatening them for not following. That’s not how alliances work. That’s how they end. Never stop connecting the dots.

BREAKING: Moments ago at the White House this took place. A bunch of old people praying for a convicted felon, adjudicated rapist, who appears to have just blown up 100+ Iranian schoolchildren, while he hides the Epstein files, in which he appears in thousands of times. We are a joke.

🚨 Speaker Johnson just said both things out loud in the same breath: “Iran declared war on us.” “We’re not at war right now.” Four days in. Six soldiers dead. Bases destroyed. A consulate struck. CIA arming militias for regime change. But it’s not a war. It’s “Operation Epic Fury.” The same people who can’t agree on what to call it are the ones who launched it without a vote, without a plan, and without telling the truth. Mullin misspoke. Rubio changed his story. Johnson contradicts himself mid-sentence. They’re not confused. They’re hoping you are.

This lying jackass expects us to believe that Iran, surrounded by an American armada, was going to attack first, during negotiations? Bullshit. Israel is dragging that sap around by his Adderall-filled nose.

Trump: A tariff is a tax on a foreign country. A lot of people like to say it’s a tax on us. No… It’s is a tax that doesn’t affect our country.

JD Vance and the fascist authoritarian Trump regime were BOOED mercilessly at the Winter Olympics Opening Ceremony. The International Olympic Committee begged fans not to boo the US delegation, but the world's revulsion was not to be denied. 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣👇

Host: Growing outrage from Democrats and even some Republicans after Trump shared a racist video on social media depicting former President Obama and former First Lady Michelle Obama as monkeys in a jungle. The White House is trying to downplay it, but that response from Tim Scott is very much castigating Trump, saying that it was the most racist thing that he's ever seen out of this White House.

Trump thought he could grab Canada by the beaver. This beaver has teeth, is industrious and knows how to build dams around US damage. Note to Donald, some beavers bite hard. You grabbed at the wrong beaver.

Former Canadian Prime Minister Jean Chrétien, "It is probably what I would call the beginning of the end of the American empire" "We are in a very good position in in Canada, we have land, the best educated people in the world. And we have tolerance which is a great value" "We have less very very rich people per capita but also less very very poor people per capita" "We have unity" "We have managed quite well to survive" "Trump has created a mood where Canadians have never been so proud to be Canadian"

I do not feel sorry at all for any American who voted for the corrupt Donald Trump. The whole world knew that Donald Trump was a corrupt man. It was never a secret. The whole world knew that Donald Trump would use the White House to enrich himself and to fatten his private pockets. Everybody knew this, except sycophants and those so deranged that they refused to look at what was plainly happening in front of them. Anyone now claiming that this was not obvious is being dishonest. What is unfolding now is not news at all. It is exactly what many of us warned about when Trump ran for office for the second time. This outcome was predicted, discussed, and documented in advance. Donald Trump is not a misunderstood leader or a victim of circumstance. He is simply a corrupt president doing precisely what he was always expected to do.
