BREAKING: Trump Org CFO Allen Weisselberg committed tax fraud with Donald Trump — according to today’s trial testimony from his second in command, Trump Org Controller Jeff McConney.
McConney admitted Weisselberg helped Trump with the fraud — and asked McConney to help.
5% of the US defense budget
50% of the Russian military destroyed
Ukraine is the best national security investment America has ever made — we would be CRAZY not to continue it.
Anyone who says otherwise is probably working with the Kremlin, whether they know it or not.
There should be a 2nd indictment filed against Trump for the Espionage Act case.
In New Jersey.
Today.
DOJ needs to make this happen. America's national security -- and the lives of our military service members -- are at stake.
BREAKING: Judge Cannon strikes again, gives Trump huge, indefinite delay in Mar-a-Lago documents case.
Again, ANY other defendant, with such grave national security implications, would already have been detained and tried.
Will DOJ do 2nd indictment in different district now?
The only reason Trump came to his NY AG trial this week was so he could delay his deposition in his case against Michael Cohen.
The deposition got moved to next Monday.
He couldn't get it moved again -- and he was afraid to testify.
So Trump has now withdrawn the case.
BREAKING: Trump SURRENDERS to Michael Cohen, withdraws his $500 million lawsuit against Cohen — right before Trump was supposed to testify in a deposition under oath.
He conceded defeat rather than tell the truth and lose.
If Trump revealed nuclear secrets to a random guy at Mar-a-Lago just to impress him, imagine what he shared with foreign agents who were actively trying to obtain secret US intelligence from him
In the last 2 weeks:
One party won more affordable medications -- and more student loan relief.
The other party
- tried to impeach the president, had no case, and withdrew it
- tried to shut down the government, didn't have the votes, and failed
- voted out their own leader
The Republican front-runner for president is on trial for fraud — and just got a gag order. And still faces 4 criminal indictments.
The Republican Speaker of the House just got ousted by radicals in his own party — and the House is now leaderless.
GOP in total disarray.
Dear Donald Trump:
The statute of limitations does NOT help you when you keep on defrauding.
As long as the misconduct continues, the clock never even starts. Oops.

Fmr. NY AAG who prosecuted Trump University
Pro tip: when you get sued, and you refuse to produce documents, and the judge FINES you for it, you maaaaaybe want to request a jury trial rather than having the judge try the case, and then you DEFINITELY don't want to keep saying how much you hate the judge and his clerk.
Trump is wrong on the statute of limitations in the NY AG fraud case against him.
Trump ALREADY LOST -- the judge has ruled that he committed fraud, and all his NY companies are being stripped from him and dissolved.
The case is now just about math -- the size of Trump's FINE.
NY AG has ALREADY WON the fraud case against Trump.
Repeat: THE NY AG ALREADY WON! Judge already ruled Trump committed fraud — and took away his NY buildings and properties (!!!).
The trial is mostly to determine how much Trump will have to pay in FINES - up to $600 MILLION.
The 5 longest government shutdowns in US history all happened in the last 30 years.
ALL of them hurt America -- and ALL of them were caused by Republicans in Congress.
1) 2018-19 - 35 days
2) 1995-96 - 21 days
3) 2013 - 16 days
4) 1995 - 5 days
5) 2018 - 3 days
New York is having terrible flooding.
FEMA won't help - because of the federal government shutdown caused by House Republicans.
So, thanks to...
- George Santos
- Mike Lawler
- Andrew Garbarino
- Nick LaLota
- Anthony D'Esposito
- Nicole Malliotakis
... for screwing us over.
Top reasons why Republicans are shutting down the government:
1) To stop Donald Trump from being prosecuted
2) To help Vladimir Putin by stopping the US from helping Ukraine
3) Because they're entirely dysfunctional and they can't agree on anything, even when in the majority.
Virginia may flip RED — letting Glenn Youngkin end reproductive rights, voting rights, and ban books statewide.

Scott Hill flipped.
Hill will now throw Sidney Powell under the bus.
Powell will now likely flip.
Powell took her orders directly from Donald Trump.
The endgame is near.
Trump held a “union” rally at an auto part plant.
The plant was NOT a union plant — it’s not repped by the United Auto Workers.
And hundreds of the “workers” were actually Trump ringers — many who were PAID by Trump to be there.
Phony, fake, fraudulent — all of it.
Make no mistake, today’s NY AG victory is one of the very biggest things EVER to happen in the battles to bring Trump to justice and accountability.
This is a day we’ve been waiting for — for YEARS.
A truly great day for justice.
Imagine having a house worth $300k but telling a bank it was worth over 2800% more — over $8.5 million — to trick the bank into giving you cash.
That’s what Donald Trump did in fraudulently overvaluing Mar-a-Lago.
Last night, Donald Trump said he’s leading “Obama” in the polls — and claimed if elected he will stop “World War Two.”
But sure, tell me again how Joe Biden is the candidate who’s too old and slow.
BREAKING: Trump Scottish resort FAILS health inspection — with kitchen workers not washing their hands before preparing food, dirty cutting boards and equipment, and sausage that had been expired for 3 months.
They must literally clean up their act or risk being shut down.
BREAKING: Senate investigating Elon Musk over cutting off Starlink satellite internet services to Ukraine during Ukrainian offensive strikes against Russia.
Senator Jack Reed, chair of Senate Armed Services Committee, announced the probe.
Is Elon Musk helping Putin?
BREAKING: Trump had 3500 PAGES of classified documents, as revealed in new order from Judge Cannon in the Mar-a-Lago case.
The number of pages Trump was legally authorized to have once he left office was … *checks notes* … ZERO.
Mitch McConnell KNEW about January 6 — he KNEW that the Department of Defense had major concerns about the Capitol being attacked.
And Mitch McConnell — and the rest of the Republican leaders in Congress — did NOTHING.
It is not the "war in Ukraine."
It is not the "Russo-Ukraine War."
It is not the "Russia-Ukraine War."
It is the RUSSIAN INVASION of Ukraine.
This is not a war of two equal rivals. This is a vicious act of aggression by a larger predator against its smaller, peaceful neighbor.
