Yeah I have just seen that here.

"Trump's corruption has reached an entirely new level. The $1.7B slush fund is just outright theft. And no Republican owes such bind allegiance to the president to defend this."

Tulsi "Russia-1" Gabbard resigns "to spend time with her family"

Throughout her insane career, she has peddled disinformation from Putin and done Trump's bidding. Her reign - but mostly her boss's - has been so notoriously incompetent and untrustworthy that other nations are scared to share their Intelligence with us.

The "Justice" department deletes press release detailing charges against Jan 6th insurrectionists
The move to wipe hundreds of press releases from the official government site is the latest attempt by the Trump administration to reframe the Jan. 6 siege and to paint the rioters who participated in it as victims.

On his first day back in office, President Donald Trump mass pardoned the rioters. Soon after, Justice Department officials and FBI agents who were a part of the Jan. 6 investigation and prosecutions were fired.

And this week, the Justice Department announced a $1.8 billion “anti-weaponization” fund aimed to compensate those who “suffered weaponization and lawfare.”
They make it sounds like the insurrectionists were just doing nothing and inexplicably charged when in reality, they were spraying bear spray at people, chasing cops, smearing feces on the walls, and jumping over seats with a fistful of zipties to "stop the steal" (i.e. override American voters by attempting to stop - with violence - the certification of a lawful election because they didn't like the results). In most countries, that's a very serious crime and a deeply troubling politically-motivated attempt to undermine democracy. Over here, it's not a crime because the President openly backs the thugs and his hostility towards democracy is no longer a secret.
