As I pointed out this week, experts at the Dept of Commerce warned Trump's deal with a UAE company compromises our national security, but Trump did it anyway as he rakes in money from the Emirati royal family. The whole thing stinks of corruption.

I'll be at BlackHat & DEFCON in Las Vegas this year. Always happy to catch up with old friends, meet new ones, and talk OSINT, cyber, AI, investigations—or anything security. If you're around, let's connect. See you in Vegas! 🍻 #BlackHat #DEFCON #OSINT

Trump is using an unprecedented web of nonprofits, cultural organizations, and other groups to stash away over half a billion dollars for his corrupt policies and pet projects, donated by corporations & the ultra-rich.   This is corruption on a scale we've never seen before.

The Mystery Money Powering Trump’s Second Term

The president and his allies have built a network of groups financed by wealthy donors and businesses that is advancing his priorities with little public disclosure.

Private prison corporations donate to Trump's campaign & inauguration. In return they receive huge government contracts to run detention centers. Their bottom lines get a major boost while Trump's brokers simultaneously buy their stock. It's a cruel and vicious cycle.

Trump has made 29 private prison stock trades since taking office - CREW | Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington

Trump’s brokers have made 29 trades of private prison stocks since he returned to office, with the first purchases early in his second term.

While the nation has plenty of real problems to deal with, Trump is ignoring them to manufacture fake emergencies. Why? He wants more power — and he wants to distract from his unpopular agenda. It should be clear that America’s actual national emergency is Donald J. Trump.

The constitution provides that states run elections. The federal govt does not. There is no legal authority for Mullin to take over elections, issue mandates & rules, or threaten elections officials with prison for failure to comply with unlawful orders. bsky.app/profile/atru...

More good news: 12 State AGs just filed suit to block the Paramount–WBD merger. We have a real chance to stop what had been considered a done deal, blessed by the compromised Trump Department of Justice. #Blockthemerger

On Thursday, the Trump regime forced out the three remaining members of the Election Assistance Commission — effectively ending it. You need to see this as part of Trump’s overall strategy to take over the midterm elections some 90 days from now. Here's what we can do about it.

Trump WILL Try to Steal the Midterms. Here's How

And How We Prevent Him from Doing So

4 years ago today, Trump's SCOTUS overturned Roe v. Wade, which marked the start of an all-out assault on reproductive rights in America. We cannot stop fighting back in the courts, in Congress, & our communities until we codify a woman's right to reproductive freedom in law.

Across the country, people are stepping up to hold this Administration accountable for failing American families. And these five are turning up the heat by challenging Republican House members who have supported these failures every step of the way. I’m proud to support them.

On this Juneteenth, it is important to acknowledge — both in sadness and in outrage — that the person occupying the position of president of the United States is a white supremacist. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/a-reality-that-must-be-acknowledged

“Across much of the country, Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act was the only legal limitation on partisan gerrymandering….Between now and the next presidential election, more states will enact more gerrymanders — and those gerrymanders could go much further than ever before.”

What Peak Gerrymandering Could Look Like Now

Tim Cook donated $1M to Trump’s inauguration. He fawned over Trump and gifted him a 24-karat gold plaque (as Apple lobbied for tariff exemptions). Apple donated to Trump’s White House ballroom. And it removed ICE tracking apps from its stores following a demand from the DOJ. Remember this.

Trump is threatening to commit massive war crimes against the Iranian people starting at 8 pm tonight. He is completely unhinged, and it is long past time for Republicans to speak up. Congress should reconvene immediately and vote to end this war, NOW.

Google is now screwing with the 10 blue links in traditional search and rewriting headlines - including ours - to be the worst kind of slop. This sucks so bad www.theverge.com/tech/896490/...

Republicans blocked our bill to fully fund TSA & their agents. This is the 8th time they've blocked our attempts to reopen TSA, FEMA, & other agencies outside of ICE & CBP at DHS. But they would rather hold these agencies hostage to give Trump's ICE & CBP another blank check.

This week, Senate Republicans are trying to ram through the so-called SAVE America Act, a bill designed to make it harder for certain citizens to vote in order to rig elections in their favor. This is a fraud masquerading as an election integrity effort. We can't let this pass.

Donald Trump says the affordability crisis is over. Is that how you feel? He might not be focused on helping working families, but we are here in Illinois.

Last year Trump slashed funds for healthcare & food programs. Now he's spending $1 BILLION PER DAY on his war of choice in Iran. While millions here at home can't afford their basic needs, Trump is spending billions on a regime change war that's making us less safe.
