How much money has Trump pocketed from the presidency since his second election?

NYTimes Editorial Board did the math and it’s insane….

Today, California signed an MOU with Ukraine.

Even amid the chaos and anxiety in Washington, California continues to lead as a steady transatlantic partner.

We will always be a global partner for good.

🚨ICE just got access to one of its biggest private detention center operators last night, thanks to a Navy contract.

The move lets ICE bypass normal contracting processes to tap GEO Group to operate its detention centers as they race to buy detention sites to house 92,000 detainees nationwide.

I think it is never good for a sitting Member of Congress in a one-seat majority to even half-seriously raise concerns about possible death threats directed against them.

He is also trying to establish the sitting President of the United States' relationship to a pedophile; there are real stakes.

this is comically evil. brazenly anti-social. just absolute black-pilled nihilism. we will not have a republic, we will not be free, until we regulate these companies to the point where — at a bare minimum — they're too afraid to put stuff like this down on paper.

"This is the most shamelessly, brazenly, openly corrupt and compromised government in modern American history and, astonishingly, the person who sits at the center of much of that corruption and compromise isn’t even a member of the government: It’s Jared Cory Kushner, First Son-in-Law." - me
👀 Jared Kushner... Redacted?
The president's son-in-law is at the center of a huge new scandal. Plus: the Trump administration's war on the climate and the Pakistani government's war on Imran Khan's health.

Ever wonder what happens before a Watch Duty alert reaches you?

From the first dispatch signal, to critical tracking sources like 'Fire Notification' radio feeds and wildfire cameras, to the ping on your phone, it’s a human-powered process designed to deliver clear, reliable safety information.

Google gave ICE the sensitive personal data of a student journalist, including his bank account and credit card info, without even letting him know.

The company is also helping bankroll Trump’s vanity ballroom project.
