Trump, the biggest fraudster in America, who pardons fraudsters, and oversees the most corrupt administration in history, clearly isn’t at all serious about addressing waste, fraud, and abuse. But, you’re smart and already knew that.
Q: If the administration has declared on waste and fraud, could you explain the $420 million overpayment for a prison in Appleton, MN, when they company offered it to the state for $75m? BESSENT: I don't know anything about that. That's a waste of our time.

This is fraud at the federal level. Steering taxpayer $ to private prison industry via vastly inflated price.
MINNESOTA: “A vacant private prison offered to sell to the state for $75 million… One year later Trump used taxpayer funds to buy it from (BRENTWOOD, TN-BASED) @CoreCivic for $495.6 million…” Actual fraud in Minnesota. Corruption in plain sight as Trump steers billions to his friends/Republican donors. @MarshaBlackburn kare11.com/article/news/inve…

Eight months, $47.1 BILLION, and he's still explaining what kind of war it is.
Trump on Iran: It's a war but it's... not a typical war. We've been there for 7 months. We're spending very little money, relatively speaking

It's. All. A. Grift.
An ABC News analysis just found that Trump's sons have received $6 billion in federal contracts since 2024. Remember how angry MAGA was about Hunter Biden? Now Trump is paying his own sons billions of our tax money. This is the real swamp we need to drain!

It is truly mind blowing.
Trump now has GOP candidates talking about their own asses and wondering out loud at rallies what the President thinks of their asses.

DL Hughley: “77M of those people who voted for Trump, for them racism isn’t a disqualifier. Pedophilia isn’t a disqualifier. Rape isn’t a disqualifier. Fraud isn’t a disqualifier. Even if they’re not all racists, all of them have this belief that things are better run if white people are in charge. If your moral code is that off, I have a certain disdain for you”

New in PN: We’ve blown past mere “transphobia” "Hitler used hatred of Jewish people to try to build power, and then he used that power to eliminate Jewish people. The Republican Party has a similar relationship to trans hate. They hope it will help them win elections. But they also hope that winning elections, and funding anti-trans propaganda, will allow them to eliminate trans people." publicnotice.co/p/trump-repu…

So pointing out fraud to a fraud task force is a waste of time. Got it.

So who’s committing fraud? A private prison in Minnesota was offered for sale for $75 million last year. The Trump administration paid $495.6 million for the same facility. That’s a difference of more than $420 million in taxpayer money. And these are the people lecturing Minnesotans about fraud? The hypocrisy is staggering. Every accusation from Trump folks is starting to sound like a confession.

The same facility offered to Minnesota for $75 million, Trump shells out $495 million for? This mess in Appleton isn't getting by me. I'm demanding that Congress investigate this corrupt misuse of your tax dollars. Enough is enough.

Because Kushner is making big money with Putin. Oh, and Kushner’s father in law is a Russian asset. So Kushner, like his father in law, is on Russia’s side.
Why doesn’t Kushner ask Russia to stop bombing cities? Shopping malls, hospitals, passenger trains, gas stations are all being targeted.

This.
Republicans say that it's a waste of time to ask why Trump used OUR money to pay over 6x a buildings value, & to funnel the money to one of his rich buddies. They only care about the fraud they don't get a cut of.

Clay ain't too bright.
While I don't casually bet $1 million on things, turns out @ClayTravis was cocky and wrong once again, this time on oil prices. Today Crude Oil Futures are at $102.95, well above $84. Maybe a donation to a group that is struggling to make ends meet in this economy is in order.

Correct.
Future generations won’t believe us when we tell them how stupid this all was

TRUMP: Nobody knows DUMB has a B. I can’t believe it took me 9 years to figure it out. It’s official! He’s a fucking moron.

Kellyanne on Trump: His energy is unbelievable, and no one should question his energy. Donald Trump exhausts staffers one-third his age. No one can keep up.
