Starting with when we hopefully win back Congress in November, the investigations and commissions to peel back and shine light on the corruption and grift and illegality that was launched by this regime will begin in earnest. #TrumpCrimeFamily

This. The whole thread.

Texas just suspended 1.2 million voter registrations because Talarico is beating Paxton in the polls. And OF COURSE they won’t tell us how many of those voters come from Democratic districts. Texas isn’t a democracy. It’s a racist fascist state.

PSA: Check your registration! We know they’re gonna try to steal your power… Your power is your vote!! Be Ready!!!✊👇👇👇 www.vote.org

I’ll have much more about this via “One First” later this afternoon: www.stevevladeck.com

Iran and Oman have reportedly finalized a deal to control the Strait of Hormuz, charging ships fees for passage and potentially blocking ships from “hostile countries.” Trump is indicating he’s going to accept a deal on Iran’s terms. This would arguably be America’s most blatant loss in war ever.

A picture is worth a thousand words.

Trump will brag that any MOU he signs with Iran will include a line from Iran promising never to builds nukes. Yet that was also in the JCPOA, which said: “Iran reaffirms that under no circumstances will Iran ever seek, develop or acquire any nuclear weapon.” Trump tore up the JCPOA & caused a war.

A Texas Tribune analysis identified at least 248 planned data center projects across the state. Use our lookup tool to see what projects are planned near you.

An infestation of the flesh-eating flies has been confirmed in South Texas, setting off alarm bells for the state’s cattle industry. Here is a breakdown of why the cattle industry and government leaders are concerned about a parasitic fly.

Ken Paxton just gave an Epstein-style deal to a pedophile. Paxton released Adam Hoffman — an admitted child rapist — back on our streets after Paxton’s rich lawyer friend got involved. The Epstein Class has no place in Texas. Ken Paxton has no place in the US Senate.

The Republican Party quietly deleted their own ad attacking Ken Paxton's record on crime... because Paxton is now the Republican Party's nominee to represent Texas in the U.S. Senate. Figured if the ad is important enough to delete, it's important enough to see...

WATCH: @RepLuna calls for a vote to strip the pesticide corporations immunity provision from the farm bill… chair Mike Simpson (RH) claims the “the NO’s have it” when clearly the YAY votes were louder… Luna asks for a recorded vote… Simpson postpones it… Wildly corrupt stuff

The Texas legislature rammed through a gerrymandering bill at the request of Trump. Virginia actually voted in favor of redistricting to counterbalance what Texas and other Republican-controlled states have done. Yet only one is considered a "power grab." Oligarch-owned media in a nutshell.

A new live tracker has been set up called "Trump's Take" and it currently shows the criminal President has used the presidency to rake in more than $2 billion. See the details here: https://www.americanprogress.org/feature/trumps-take/ #TrumpCrimeFamily

The receipts. A complete timeline of the shifting rhetoric. More: www.meidasplus.com/p/today-in-p...

WATCH: The White House took down this video, but we still have it. Trump: We can't take care of daycare. We're a big country. We're fighting wars. It's not possible for us to take care of daycare, Medicaid, Medicare, all these things.

In that same diatribe, he called Medicare, Medicaid and day care “scams” He’s already slashed these programs by over $1 trillion But yes, it can get worse. And likely will

BREAKING: Iran President Pezeshkian releases a lengthy public letter addressed to the American people ahead of Trump's address, defending its actions, denying it poses a threat, and blaming the U.S. for escalating conflict—while warning that continued attacks will deepen instability and resentment.

Pulitzer-worthy

Many of the biggest policy decisions of Donald Trump’s second term follow the same script: move fast, ignore the experts, break things, then spin the disastrous outcome as a victory. From DOGE to tariffs to the ICE surge in Minneapolis, the pattern keeps repeating. The war in Iran is next.

Lindsey’s diplomacy working wonders in UAE.

How is it possible that Kristi Noem still has this job. Imagine if you’re a family member or a shipmate of this guardsman. www.nbcnews.com/politics/imm...

Early voting for the Texas 2026 primaries begins Tuesday. Here’s what to know.

Republicans want to increase the defense budget to $1.5 trillion in 2027. That defense budget alone would add an additional $5.8 trillion to the national debt over the next decade.

2/ Justice Kavanaugh's logic (in Noem v Vasquez Perdomo): "If the person is a U. S. citizen or otherwise lawfully in the United States, that individual will be free to go after the brief encounter." Sworn affidavits show how, on the ground, this is simply not how it plays out with ICE.

The Meidas Network is a precious gem! They’ve saved all of the Epstein files released. We shortened the URL to make it firm to the platform. It’s safe. https://shorturl.at/GAVxd

“This ought to be the final nail in the coffin of congressional Republicans’ breathless efforts to gin up impeachment charges against a judge whose only actual sin, as it turns out, was to decline to roll over when the government defied one of his orders, and then lied about it.” Me @ “One First”:

Dumb ass Ted Cruz falls for another fake deceptive post from a random account. Again.

Instead of fixing the tech, they policed recipients and fed the fraud myth. The real fraud problem is criminals skimming benefits from outdated magnetic-stripe cards that USDA refused to fix. In most states, they have stopped reimbursing stolen funds. www.nextgov.com/digital-gove...

In leaked audio, Ted Cruz described warning Trump against his tariffs and then being told, “fuck you”: "Mr. President, if we get to November of [2026] and people's 401(k)s are down 30% and prices are up 10-20% at the supermarket, we're going to go into Election Day, face a bloodbath.”
