This week’s podcast episode is about corruption. I spoke with Donald Sherman of @citizensforethics.org about how Trump has made billions over the last 18 months through foreign deals, stock trades, and crypto.

NEW: Trump's firing of the bipartisan Election Assistance Commission last night is the latest disturbing step in his crusade to make it harder to vote and consolidate control of elections.

Don't look away from this creeping authoritarianism.

Cyclosporiasis, the parasite causing the current explosive diarrhea outbreak, is at a level 20x higher than its yearly average.

This comes just 1 year after the Trump admin removed a cyclospora tracking mandate from the 'Foodborne Disease Active Surveillance Network.'

Here are the top corporate contributors to Trump's pet projects:

Meta, Amazon, Coinbase, Google/Youtube, RTX, Lockheed Martin, Mastercard, Exiger, Scotts Miracle-Gro, Altria Group, BlackRock, Nvidia, Palantir, Comcast, and Chevron.

Yes, they all want something from Trump.

BREAKING: We sued the DOJ, Treasury Department and IRS to block the Trump admin from handing out $1.8 billion in taxpayer funds to Trump's allies who claim to be victims of government weaponization.

This settlement is one of the single most corrupt acts in American history.
CREW sues to block Trump’s $1.8 billion slush fund - CREW | Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington
The Trump administration’s $1.776 billion “anti-weaponization” slush fund is unconstitutional and violates multiple federal laws.

There is exactly ONE active criminal investigation into Epstein's ranch.
It's stuck.
Not for lack of evidence...because the DOJ won't hand it over. New piece.

Todd Blanche’s confirmation hearings are this week, but even if he’s voted down, he can probably remain in the job indefinitely. The hearings are still important, however. Andy McCabe and I explain why in the latest episode of UnJustified. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/u...

Buttigieg: We gotta get out there and build that new governing vision, not by preaching to the choir, not by only talking to everyone who already agrees with us, but by finding the people who haven’t always voted our way and changing how they see us by showing that we see them.

The difficulty of making credible nuclear threats hasn’t stopped some current leaders from trying their hand at it - including Trump and Putin in both Iran and Ukraine.

Tonight the Senate is voting to start debate on the annual defense bill. It's essentially an Iran War authorization bill. A totally unprecedented 50% increase in spending to fund the war without any meaningful restraints.

I'm voting NO.

ICE is a menace to democracy and its murderous conduct should be soberly considered. But we should also recognize that these people are weak and sad and ought to be made fun of.
