Sen Ashley Moody took $10 Million from children in need to illegally give to Gov DeSantis for an ad campaign. This is a fact. As a senator, she's taking healthcare & food from children in need to fund Trump's wars & ICE. This is a fact. Democrats must win the Senate majority.

Trump endorsed both Ashley Moody and James Uthmeier in advance of the August 18 primary yesterday. Both are implicated in the suspected theft of $10M in Medicaid payments to use for political purposes--basically what Trump is trying to frame Tim Walz for. www.cbsnews.com/miami/news/f...

Endorsements for both Ashley Moody and James Uthmeier posted to Truth Social. I've put, "Suspected of corruption associated with Hope Florida scandal" and "Also suspected of corruption associated with Hope Florida scandal" on them, in blue.

Important to see Sen. Whitehouse list shocking reasons Todd Blanche should never be near the DOJ. Immunity/Slush Fund deal he "modified" that Sens. Tillus & former judge Cornyn thanked him for is unsigned by Trump, doesn't prevent a new settlement, not filed in court. It's 100% BS.

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · yesterday

Whitehouse on Blanche and Ghislaine Maxwell: "It was to get exculpatory information about Donald Trump and then reward her ... How often does a prisoner allegedly facing threats or danger get moved to a less secure facility? Think about it. It doesn't pass the test of common sense."

after a stormy clash w CNN's Dana Bash, RFK jr *just realized* that most people know he is an anti-vaxxer. after that contentious interview, he tried to act like he's always favored vaccines. meanwhile measles and Cyclosporiasis cases surged after RFK Jr. said that outbreak was contained

"I will say it right now, that people — parents should get their children vaccinated for measles," Kennedy told CNN's Dana Bash, adding, "A measles vaccine is effective. It stops measles in about 97 percent of the cases. So people should get vaccinated." ⁠

Bild

Measles was eradicated because scientists, doctors & leaders required & supported vaccination. JFKj insists his decades of interviews calling vaccines dangerous is not why the most infectious disease in history is roaring back. What an Irresponsible, dangerous liar. Perfect for Trump.

It turns out that they know that vaccines work. RFK Jr tells US families to vaccinate children against measles amid outbreak | Robert F Kennedy Jr | The Guardian share.google/yapWlEqfiyyf...

Dear Women & Girls & People Who Like Women & Girls & Don’t Want Them to Die in Agony With Medical Care Refused & Anyone Who Likes the Freedom & Right to Choose When & If You’ll Have Children… …if you vote for anyone other than a Democrat in Midterms, we’ll have no chance of stopping this & more.

In other words, going from a constitutional right (Roe) to a constitutional state by state decision (Dobbs) to a constitutional rule of no abortions. What is the DOJ/legal underpinning for that? There isn't one. Ladies & Gentlemen, your lawless soon-to-be AG. www.politico.com/news/2026/08...

From Sen. Kaine to Trump, “…a careful review of the available evidence suggests that the US has killed individuals who are not involved in narcotrafficking. THEY ARE MURDER VICTIMS. …recently confirmed by the DEA, Operation Southern Spear has had no effect on the flow of illegal drugs into the US”

Alt National Park Service@altnps.bsky.social · 2d ago

We’ve been saying this for a while now many of the people being targeted are just fishermen. Evidence now supports that the United States has killed individuals who were not involved in drug trafficking during its “counternarcotics interdiction operations” in the Caribbean and Pacific.

Like Trump’s E. Jean Carroll rape case, it would be so simple to prove he’s telling the truth: she has her skirt from rape day. He can provide a DNA swab if he’s innocent. Refused. If he has video of Hearn & others cutting & ripping the pool liner, just show the video. Refused. LiarLiar.

JonZoidberg@jonzoidberg.xyz · 2d ago

Trump can't understand why Jeanine Pirro wouldn't commit perjury for him. Going to jail for your master should be an honor. www.reuters.com/legal/govern...

Popok: CONTRACTOR admits it was his fault. He’s redoing the liner under his own warranty that says he’ll redo it if it isn’t done right. If it was vandals, insurance would cover it. Truth? Trump had him do a 3 mo. job in 1 mo. & drove SUVs across the empty pool liner. That IS on video!

The Tennessee Holler @thetnholler.bsky.social · 2d ago

UPDATE: Liar-In-Chief Trump now reportedly considering removing Jeanine Pirro because she dropped the baseless charges against an Olympian and admitted Trump screwed up the reflecting pool, not “vandals”

He has proof 2020 was stolen & he’ll show it one day; never met E. Jean except he’s in a photo with her & refuses a DNA test; he won the war in Iran & they’ll never get a nuclear weapon but he’s going to bomb the F’ing S out of them; he needs a ballroom for security but he’s at every sports event.

The Bulwark@thebulwark.com · 2d ago

Trump on the Reflecting Pool: "Jeanine Pirro made a mistake. There was vandalism…We have photographs or tapes — like moving cameras — where people are on the side cutting it with a box knife…The judge was extremely unfriendly to Jeanine, and frankly I think she choked."

50% to 25% because Reagan cut the tax rate in 1/2 & became a Republican icon, destroying the Middle Class, reversing US economic policy from progressive to regressive, meaning poorer taxpayers are supporting the rich. Income inequality grew into Trump’s corrupt billionaire oligarchy.

Robert Reich@rbreich.bsky.social · 2d ago

The effective federal corporate income tax rate: 1950: 50% 1990: 25% 2020: 13% Stop asking "but how we will pay for it?" Restore the corporate tax rate. That is how we will pay for it.

Hegseth tells Congress that Trump knew the Strait of Hormuz could be closed & it was part of every discussion. He says Trump should be praised…for starting a war without permission, saying it woulfd take a couple of weeks, when he knew Iran could close Hormuz, blocking the world’s oil supply?

Under Netanyahu, the pace of outmigration from Israel accelerates, and it's the best and the brightest who are going. Emigration from Israel continues at a rapid pace, with about 90,000 Israelis leaving the country in 2025, according to Tel Aviv U researchers who analyzed data from the Central

Emigration from Israel remained at a record high in 2025, study finds

About 90,000 Israelis left the country for at least three months in 2025, compared with an annual average of roughly 60,000 before 2023. Researchers warn that rising emigration could eventually threat...

Just another con. Immunity's what Trump wanted all along. This doesn't clarify that it's for the past; it's illegal; could cost taxpayers & save Trump a billion $ since he's stolen billions; & it means investigators can't access his taxes to prove those crimes. But Tillus & Cornyn may vote yes.

Allison Gill@muellershewrote.com · 3d ago

BREAKING: Todd Blanche has released what he calls a rescission of the slush fund (left). The last lawsuit he mentions is mine (Gill v DOJ). This doesn't change the fact that the "settlement" setting up the fund is still in effect. On the right, Blanche is LEAVING IN PLACE Trump's tax immunity.
