Forbes says President Donald J. Trump has DOUBLED his wealth in a year. No one in history has so flagrantly monetized the presidency. His family's crypto firm is an easy, opaque way for anyone--or any country --interested in buying influence to do so. It's breathtaking. nytimes.com/2025/10/17/opi…

Our federal tax dollars are being used to fund a network of government social media accounts that pump out disinformation 24/7. Even during a government shutdown. It’s definitely not essential work.

And what are you doing to do about it Senator Chuck Grassley? Besides have a staffer tweet about it in your name? The IG system has been destroyed by President Trump. The system you've defended for years. While ... you ... watched.

This is a profoundly absurd show of force that could put Californians directly in harm’s way. Flying live rounds over a busy highway without coordination between state, federal, and local partners isn't just wrong — it's dangerous.

6/ But when CRCL was gutted in March, that DHS oversight disappeared. What’s left of the office was led, at least for a while, by a 29-year-old White House appointee who helped craft Project 2025.

The 105 House Republicans who condemned George Santos and voted to expel him from Congress are strangely silent about Trump springing him from prison after a very short stint. They are all terrified of King Donald.

The Trump organization unveiled a $1.5 billion luxury golf resort project in Vietnam. Needless to say, that is a huge conflict of interest for the president. And it's only one of 22 Trump-branded international properties under development now. forbes.com/sites/giacomot…

A crime so bad you need not prove it in a court of law! Your punishment? An extrajudicial execution or a very stern warning before going home if you live. It boggles the legal mind. nytimes.com/2025/10/18/us/…
