I hope everyone had a great 4th of July. I know @realDonaldTrump and family did. 250 years ago we declared independence from a king who ran the colonies as a family business. In just 18 months the Trumps have made King George look like an amateur. A $620 million Pentagon loan, the largest in the program’s history, to a company Don Jr.’s firm bought into three months before. An Air Force drone contract to a startup the princelings took public through a golf course company they own a piece of. The Army’s largest drone motor order ever, to a company where Don Jr. sits on the board and holds millions in stock. A $24 million Pentagon robotics contract to the company that employs Eric as Chief Strategy Advisor. A stake in the largest undeveloped tungsten deposit on earth, in Kazakhstan, backed by $1.6 billion in US government support. Jared’s fund seeded with $2 billion from the Saudi crown prince, now $6.2 billion, 99% of it foreign money from Gulf governments. Over $110 million in fees collected from the Saudis alone. He negotiates American foreign policy with the governments that pay him. $2.3 billion from crypto ventures their father regulates. More than a million people bought in and lost $2.3 billion. The money didn’t grow. It simply moved from the subjects pockets to the crown’s coffers. And the next one is already drafted. A proposed ATF rule that will allow guns to be shipped straight to your front door. The government’s own estimate is 3.3 million home gun deliveries a year. Don Jr. sits on the board of the online gun megastore built to cash in. He holds 300,000 shares. And that’s only the fraction they’ve allowed us to see. Not one subpoena served. Not one search executed. Why hide anything when you own the investigators? Me? They searched a laptop for six years. Federal prosecutors. Grand juries. Subpoena power. Congressional hearings. They found nothing. I made about $200k a year selling paintings when my Dad was President, and they made my paintings part of an impeachment inquiry. For six years they’ve asked Where’s Hunter? What about the laptop? Wrong questions. The right one is 250 years old. Does America belong to a family? They’ve given their answer. Long live the King.

@berniemoreno This is embarrassing. Please take it down.

An historic day for the world. Let’s get the Nobel Peace Prize ready!

@donwinslow How does that stop him? Serious question.

The only way forward, the only way to really stop Trump now is to come together for a full nationwide shutdown. Shut this broken country down.

@WhiteHouse @darreldrowland Nope. A king and a clueless bafoon.

TWO KINGS. 👑

No greater metaphor for this entire week than Pete Hegseth quoting a fake Bible verse from the movie Pulp Fiction to Pentagon staff.

Hegseth is never more gleeful than when he is announcing death after death of humans. War is hell -- a serious thing -- and this sick bastard using it to get his jollys. Buy a blow up doll or some jell my brother. So dangerous.

@cmclymer 100% this.

Last week, I was at a friend's birthday gathering at a crowded bar in D.C. and I somehow wound up in conversation with a small group of people about the war in Iran. One of them fully supported the war and fully supported Trump. I politely sipped my drink and waited for the convo to move on. I didn't really want to talk about this during what was meant to be a laidback evening. But then he said this: "The death toll has been surprisingly low for our military." I asked him: "How do you mean?" "Well, we've had a small number of troops killed, less than ten." "Thirteen," I said. "Thirteen troops have been killed in combat." "Right," he said. "That's a surprisingly low number. We've had a low fatality rate." And, you know, I just couldn't let that go. I couldn't. "Surprisingly low?" He said: "Yeah, it could be much worse. We could have lost a lot more soldiers at this point." I asked him: "Can you name any of the service members who were killed?" "What?" "Thirteen service members have been killed. Do you know any of their names?" There was this long, awkward pause. And then he said: "I know some of their names have been published." I said: "All of their names have been published. The last KIA was a few weeks ago. Do you know any of their names?" Another long pause and then finally: "No, I don't." Let me offer some friendly advice for anyone like this gentleman who is tempted to say this was a "surprisingly low" number of service members killed. Don't make this observation if it's just a number to you. Every one of these service members had loved ones, friends, a life back home. Some of them had kids. Some of them had mortgages and front lawns to mow. Some of them had grills in their backyard they would have been using for parties with people they loved this summer. Now they're gone, and their families and friends are always going to feel that loss. You shouldn't be saying something like "surprisingly low" in the first place but especially when you don't know any of their names. If U.S. military fatalities are "surprisingly low," it shouldn't take you any time at all to learn their names. Friendly advice.

@SecRubio people don't get fired because they are incredible.

I look forward to working with Kristi Noem as Special Envoy for The Shield of the Americas — our new security initiative comprised of 13 countries. Kristi has achieved incredible results as Secretary of Homeland Security and will be a tremendous asset in our effort to promote security and prosperity in the Western Hemisphere.

@MeidasTouch What's the proper hat to wear when you are Envoy for The Shield of the Americas Security Initiative in the Western Hemisphere? Asking for a friend.

BREAKING: Trump has FIRED DHS Secretary Kristi Noem and has tapped Senator Markwayne Mullin to fill the role effective March 31.

@RonFilipkowski Envoy for The Shield of the Americas Security Initiative in the Western Hemisphere - is there a hat for that??

Kristi Noem has been fired and replaced by the dumbest US Senator.

@krassenstein Envoy for The Shield of the Americas Security Initiative in the Western Hemisphere - is there a hat for that??

MAJOR BREAKING: Department of Homeland Security secretary, Kristi Noem has just been fired. Thank God!!!!

@NancyMace Mean girl turned mean woman. Do you have anything else that might also qualify as a talent?

Honey, it’s “please refrain” not “please restrain.” This is what happens when your staff is from the Third World and can’t speak proper English.

Talking to independent physicians, it's obvious that the big insurance carriers are doing to them, what their PBMs are doing to independent pharmacies. They deny, underpay, slow pay, clawback, and create administrative mazes, knowing their victims don't have the time or resources to fight. Why ? By putting financial pressures on physicians and pharmacies, it makes them more likely to sell their businesses to them , close their doors, or refer the business to their captive pharmacy or provider. All benefitting the biggest insurance companies We need to ditch the concept of "claims" and make every delivery of medications or care as a billable event that must, by law, be paid on a timely basis , with interest charges for any delays. If the physician or pharmacy doesn't deliver , the carrier has plenty of legal options already. As does the patient. This is not an efficient market. This is the big guy abusing the little guy. It needs to change to better the care we get in this country

@POTUS Complete and utter bullshit right here.

AMERICA IS BACK. 🇺🇸 Every single day I will be fighting for you with every breath in my body. I will not rest until we have delivered the strong, safe and prosperous America that our children deserve and that you deserve. This will truly be the golden age of America.

@DAGToddBlanche Cooperation you say? Minn Police Chief said he has no cooperation from the fed gov't r/t Sat’s shooting. “...when our officers initially responded to the scene, our watch commander was not given the most basic info typical in a law enforcement-involved shooting"

@DAGToddBlanche just here to let you know filming with a cell phone IS peaceful protest, being an observer IS peaceful protest, blowing a whistle IS peaceful protest. Ten shots into a man down IS MURDER. It's that simple you ignorant dolt.

@JakeLang Tell the truth. No ambush - you put yourself in the middle to stir a crowd. No stabbing. No limb from limb. You got wet, cold, and hate right back at you. Props to the Black man who shielded you over your exit.

I was almost ripped LIMB FROM LIMB!!! My pants leg literally being ripped off… 😡 DEATH BEFORE DISHONOR & REPLACEMENT ✝️ “The LORD is my Rock & my Strength, and HE hath delivered me from the mouth of the lions”

@TriciaOhio @DHSgov Another self sacrifice for Trump. Hope it is worth it. He won't be grateful in the end - narcissists never are.

So we, at @DHSgov, are under gag order by an activist judge and Kilmar Abrego Garcia is making TikToks. American justice ceases to function when its arbiters silence law enforcement and give megaphones to those who oppose our legal system.

This broke me.
