DHS reportedly fast-tracked a contract worth almost $1 billion to a company led by a donor to a pro-Trump nonprofit group where one of the officials overseeing the deal previously worked.

That raises serious ethics concerns.

If you got $1 million, you can pretty much commit any crime you want and Trump will pardon you. I would recommend Pam Bondi’s brother for representation. He seems to get the best results, for some reason.

Jack Smith: “President Trump was by a large measure the most culpable and most responsible person in this conspiracy. These crimes were committed for his benefit. The attack that happened at the Capitol does not happen without him”

Republicans wouldn't let Jack Smith testify in public. Instead they did it behind closed doors and released a transcript and video on New Year's Eve, hoping few people would notice.
They think it’s smart politics, but I think it’s one more attempt to cover up treason. History will agree with me.

Trump just vetoed legislation for a pipeline project that would've brought clean water to southeastern Colorado.

The bill's sponsor, Lauren Boebert, voted to release the Epstein files.

Her scathing statement, in part, says, "I sincerely hope this veto has nothing to do with political retribution."

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis diverted more than $35 MILLION in taxpayer dollars to defeat two ballot initiatives last year.

I’ve got the @miamiherald.com‘s blockbuster reporting on how DeSantis cheated needy Floridians and children from their already-earmarked funds.

make sure to vote early and drop your ballot in an official ballot collection box, especially if you are in a red rural area! Your post office employees might try to invalidate your ballot with a late postmark

Again, I remain mostly vexed as to why, rather than viewing this as a geopolitical crisis worthy of a new Cold War, we don't also take advantage of this 🇨🇳 overproduction by exchanging other goods/services with them to raise our own standard of living & fight climate change.

Still mind-blowing that a top admin official was revealed to have taken $50,000 in cash in a paper bag from people looking for government favors, the reaction of the administration was "Whatever losers, this is how it works now" and bigshot news media said "If you say so, we'll forget about it"
Border czar Tom Homan didn't receive a normal background check for his role while his bribery probe was still ongoing:

Justice officials felt sure Homan would not be able to obtain a security clearance based on the evidence gathered. It remains unclear how Homan was eventually granted clearance.

President-elect Trump initially balked at submitting names of likely nominees to the FBI for background checks, a basic step intended to flag possible financial conflicts or ethical problems.

The largest healthcare fraud in US history, according to DOJ, was perpetrated by Rick Scott of Florida. He was fined $1.7 billion, but escaped prison thanks to his powerful GOP connections within DOJ. Scott went on to become a leader in the Florida GOP and the state's senior senator.

This administration lied about the people it sent to an overseas torture prison. It lies about the people it’s deporting. It lies every day to gain political advantage. Not a chance in hell they won’t lie about huge swaths of people they suspect might vote for the other party.

271,000 people have lost their jobs and federal spending has ctually increased. So people get less services, while we added debt paying for private jets for Kristi Noem, bulletproof cars for Kash Patel. This is what the rust belt voters demanded.

Trump’s comments and accompanying lawsuits aren’t simply about proving non-existent fraud in 2020; they’re part of an actual sprawling plan to sow doubt in future elections — specifically, any important elections that Republicans lose.
