Companies who donated as much as $63 MILLION to Trump’s presidential library fund either have no clue or won’t tell us where their money went. Is that money in Trump’s pockets?

By going after the Southern Poverty Law Center, the Trump administration has dramatically escalated its attack on civil rights organizations and its defense of white supremacists. These intimidation tactics won't succeed.

Our nation promised we would welcome our Afghan allies who helped American troops during the war—and put their families in danger in the process. Trump has been callously breaking that promise for no real reason, but now he's trying to make them choose between facing certain death from the Taliban or moving into one of the world's worst refugee crises. Unconscionable.

For the first time in American history, the DOJ has demanded confidential voter information from all 50 states and DC—compiling it into a national database to surveil and purge voters. That's unconstitutional and illegal. So we sued. citizensforethics.org/legal-action/l…

Donald Trump dodged the draft to fight in Vietnam but he's sure he would've done a better job. This kind of arrogance is exactly how America keeps getting stuck in long, bloody wars. We need real leadership and a plan and a goal to end this war in Iran, and he has none of it.

BREAKING: Trump insanely asserts that he would have "won" the Vietnam War "very quickly" and would have done the same with Iraq in a deranged rant for the ages. This is a hell of a claim from President Bone Spurs... "When it's over, and it will end, when it's over— You know, they want it to be over immediately," Trump said to CNBC about his illegal Iran War. "And I just looked at a little chart, World War I, four years and three months, World War II, six years, Korean War, three years, Vietnam, 19 years, Iraq, eight years. I'm five months, okay? Five months." "I would have won Vietnam very quickly," he rambled on. "I would have— If I were president, I would have won Iraq in the same amount of time that we won, because essentially, we've won here, okay? I mean, people can play games." Obviously, Trump has not won his war against Iran. The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps has not surrendered and still holds all of the real leverage through their control of the Strait of Iran. Trump keeps insisting that he has defeated them. That does not make it so. As for his Vietnam boast, this man was too much of a coward to actually serve in that conflict. The suggestion that his military brilliance would have turned that disastrous quagmire — which claimed some 3.5 million lives between both combatant parties — is so absurd as to test the very limits of that word. Tellingly, Trump didn't spare even a moment to reflect on the morality of the issue. He doesn't care that the Vietnam War was a deeply evil, imperialist conflict aimed at stripping the Vietnamese people of their right to self-determination. Right and wrong never factors into his thinking. "The Democrats can say, well, we should have done better, no matter what, If I did it in one week, they should have said, they'd say, we should have done better," Trump continued. "Look at Venezuela," he went on. "I took it over in 45 minutes. It was basically a 45 minute— By the way, a very strong military country. And we took it over in a day, but let's be nice. But we basically took it over in 45 minutes. We took it over during the attack in 45 minutes. And they would say, I'm surprised they haven't said it, that you should have done it in 30 minutes. It took too long, you know?" Again, Trump did not "take over" Venezuela. He sent special forces into the country in the dead of night and kidnapped the Venezuelan president, behaving far more like cartel boss than the leader of a modern nation-state. All of this posturing boils down to a profound, deeply rooted insecurity on Trump's part. He wants to be perceived as a genius strategist and historic conqueror. In reality, he started a wildly unpopular war without Congressional approval and it has promptly devolved into disaster. This Iran War will go down as the most embarrassing, pointless, and wasteful war in American history. That is Trump's military legacy. Please ❤️ and share if you think that Trump should be prosecuted for his war crimes!

They put their life on the line to help American troops. We promised them safety and a home here. Donald Trump has betrayed that promise. It's immoral and will make others think twice about risking their lives to aid our troops far into the future.

JUST IN: A federal judge threw out a defamation lawsuit FBI Director Kash Patel filed against former FBI official Frank Figliuzzi, who said Patel has “been seen at nightclubs more than on the seventh floor of” the bureau’s headquarters in Washington, D.C.

BREAKING: Congressman Ted Lieu demands that Trump's "raging alcoholic" FBI Director be ousted next as his entire Cabinet starts to crumble: "Kash Patel is next." This president only hires the very best people, right folks? "In February 25th of this year, Transportation Secretary Duffy posted a picture of Trump's Cabinet and arrogantly boasted 'best Cabinet since 1776.' In less than two months, three of those Cabinet Secretaries are gone," Lieu said at a press conference. "Pam Bondi, Kristi Noem, and now Lori Chavez-DeRemer. I note that Lori Chavez-DeRemer can now join Kristi Noem at a fake position at the Shield of the Americas." "The reality is that this Cabinet's out of control incompetence and corruption have made it the worst Cabinet since 1776 and Kash Patel is next," said Lieu. That is not an overstatement on Lieu's part. Trump is overseeing the most corrupt administration in American history with a Cabinet full of hacks, criminals, and pedophile protectors. Every single one of them is either pathologically incapable of performing their duties or completely uninterested in them. "Kash Patel flew on taxpayers' dime to the Olympics and on taxpayers' dime partied and drank at the Olympics," continued Lieu. "He's also installed a culture of fear at the FBI and he lied about the Epstein investigation when he said that there was no credible evidence that Epstein trafficked any victim to third parties. There's mountains of such evidence!" "And then this past week, The Atlantic put out an article that shows that Kash Patel appears to be a raging alcoholic," said Lieu. "He should not be FBI Director. He should go seek help and treatment." Patel himself threw a massive fit over The Atlantic's reporting and filed a $250 million lawsuit against the publication. The article in question cited over two dozen anonymous sources and alleged excessive drinking and unexplained absences on Patel's part. His drinking is said to be a "recurring source of concern" amongst government officials and he is said to often "drink to the point of obvious intoxication." Clearly, this man is deeply unfit for office and should immediately resign. Please ❤️ and share to demand that Patel's behavior be immediately investigated!
