Wow, Bongo attacks NY Post reporter Miranda Divine for her story about Kash. Kash and Bongo are being thrown under the bus by people close to Trump. Maybe they are just too dense to read the writing on the wall. People in Trump World are done with them. Days are numbered.

Corruption is the force that’s defining Trump’s collapse—the golden plane, the crypto billions, the corrupt pardons

Trump just gave a commutation to David Gentile, a private equity executive who defrauded investors of $1.6B.

Meanwhile, Trump's regime has also scrapped enforcement actions against over 160 corporations accused of misconduct.

A new Golden Age for corporate criminals.

Every year since 1988, the United States has recognized World AIDS Day — until now.

Why not? Maybe because the Trump administration doesn’t want to acknowledge that its foreign aid cuts led to nearly 150,000 deaths from AIDS, according to Boston University researchers.

Shameful.

This is ridiculous. It was the first TRUMP admin which developed the cases against President Hernandez. His brother Tony Hernandez was indicted in 2018 and convicted in 2019, and key ally Geovanny Fuentes Ramirez was indicted in 2020.

Both were later sentenced to life in prison!
Leavitt: "The people of Honduras have highlighted to him how the former President Hernandez was set up. This was a clear Biden over prosecution."

Gallup shows Trump sinking from –1 in January to –24 now—one of the worst second-term numbers ever. Only Nixon was lower at this point. And historically, no second-term president has gained more than five points before midterms. The trend is all downside for him.
