Trump has been “using clemency and pardons to get corporate healthcare fraudsters off the hook.” "An analysis by the California governor’s office found that Trump’s pardons had wiped nearly $2B in victim repayment and taxpayer recovery for Medicare and tax fraud, as well as other types of fraud.”

The OIG report “highlights the obvious: Corporations — not small immigrant-oriented healthcare providers, or undocumented immigrants illegally taking benefits — are responsible for the vast majority of alleged fraud in the American health care system.”

This is an extremely damaged man, both mentally and physically. The Republicans all know this, yet still they still bend a knee, despite his horrible polling numbers. So what is going on here?

Crop yields down, our countryside scorched and over 2800 people are dead due to this summer's heatwaves. Meanwhile fossil fuel giants are raking in record profits. We must end this rampant profiteering, and cut fossil fuels from our energy mix as soon as possible.

Yep. Earlier this year I was interviewed by Sharyn Alfonsi of 60 Minutes about my Epstein investigation. Subsequently, CBS pulled the segment and fired the reporter. The MAGA buyout of media is aiding the Trump administration’s Epstein cover up.

Banks permitted millions in suspicious transactions tied to Epstein—and former 60 Minutes correspondent Sharyn Alfonsi had the story months ago. But the report would never air. trib.al/ZShZlIS

Bombshell new report out from my investigators this morning spanning our four year investigation into Jeffrey Epstein’s financial records. This report shows exactly how Wall Street protected Epstein and enabled his sex trafficking for decades. Mega thread following with some key points:

Mr Trump, congratulations on achieving one of the few accomplishments that can truthfully attributed to you. The U.S. national debt now exceeds the nation's annual GDP for the first time since the World War II. It's a significant fiscal milestone with implications that will last for years.

“To unmask anonymous online critics, DHS has sent hundreds of subpoenas to social-media companies, according to people familiar with the matter. Its agents have tracked down Americans at work and on the road, asking them to sign letters acknowledging their online speech about ICE ‘may’ be a crime.”

Breaking: Another victim, Edwin Jovanny Lopez Cornejo, has died in ICE custody at Delaney Hall prison after being denied vital medication and family visits. Depriving sick detainees of care until they die is murder by neglect. We demand complete transparency and justice for Edwin! 🎥 Statuscoup

NOTE: The lawyer/law firm that represented Trump in his Capital One money laundering lawsuit is the same lawyer Judge Williams referred to the bar for disciplinary action in the bogus Trump IRS lawsuit that resulted in the slush fund and tax immunity.

What this means is that Trump has stolen an estimated $100mm from US taxpayers by avoiding the pending audit of his filed returns. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Spokane, Washington. In 2024 governments gave $725,000,000,000 of taxpayer money directly to the fossil fuel industry. We’ve PAID to inflict these horrors on our world. Our children are going to pay a great deal more. We are nowhere near angry enough.🤬🤬🤬 Climate Dad

Dutch doctors and activists displayed 1,400 pairs of white shoes in a square in the Netherlands in memory of fallen healthcare workers in Gaza. This is heartbreaking.

Nah ... it wasn't #DrFauci who was the problem. Graduated 1st in his class from Cornell Med School. He has 30 honorary doctorate degrees. He has 40 years experience in the field. He’s recognized the world over for his expertise. Awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 2008 from #GeorgeWBush

We kept the kids home to keep the healthcare system from collapsing. Of course it cost them something. It is really aggravating to see people pretend there was some other unexplored option that cost no one anything. Reality doesn't owe you only good options. Stop this. It's unseemly.

Appalling cruelty — and all to fund more tax cuts for the rich.

This is just fracking above the ground.

Dr. Fauci is a hero. He really is. He helped guide America thru a mass death event. Millions more could have died but they did not, thanks to him. Everyone over 70 owes him a debt. It is disgusting that we live in a country that not only dishonors him but actively smears his good name.

"A concentration camp, in its most basic definition, is a place where a targeted civilian population, not necessarily accused of a crime, is detained and at least some of their basic rights are suspended," writes @jwashing.bsky.social. "That’s precisely what’s happening in the United States today."

Don’t call them ICE detention centers. Call them camps | John Washington

I’ve spent a decade reporting on immigration enforcement. The word ‘camp’ best captures the political function of these facilities
