Trump’s Ballroom ‘Donors’ Have Already Netted Billions

NewsHound Ellen — Sun, 07 Jun 2026 19:28:36 +0000

A new report from public watchdog Public Citizen describes the “donations” to Donald Trump’s Marie Antoinette Ballroom as, essentially bribes.

Public Citizen found that 14 out of the 27 donors it knows of (an incomplete list because the secret funding agreement allows them to remain anonymous) “received new or increased government contracts over the last 6 months totaling over $50 billion.”

That taxpayer-funded “windfall” is more than the GDP of some countries, according to The New Republic.

But wait, there’s more! The “donors” have reaped even more benefits.

16 of the 27 just happen to be involved in litigation with the federal government or have had “federal enforcement actions suspended by the Trump administration,” Public Citizen reported. “These include major antitrust actions or merger reviews involving Amazon, Apple, Meta, Microsoft, NextEra Energy, Nvidia, T-Mobile, and Union Pacific; labor rights cases involving Amazon, Apple, Caterpillar, Google, Lockheed and Meta; and SEC matters involving Coinbase and Ripple.”

The Bully Folds: Trump Stalks Off 'Meet The Press' After Fact Check

John Amato — Sun, 07 Jun 2026 17:14:09 +0000

Pres. Donald Trump couldn't handle simple questions from Meet the Press host Kristen Welker asking him for proof to confirm his lies about stolen elections, dirty cops, and January 6th insurrectionists so he attacked Kristen Welker and then stormed off the set.

Trump got so bronzed up before making his Meet the Press appearance, the reflection from the lights and cameras made him look like a red-tinged Ghostface from the Scream movies.

Trump's meltdown occurred when host Kristen Welker began asking about his proposed 1.776 billion dollar so-called "anti-weaponization" fund that has since been put "on hold" by his sycophantic Acting Attorney General. Trump whined about a few insurrectionists committing suicide while ignoring the four law enforcement officers who committed suicide after the attack on the US Capitol.

"Do you think anyone who attacked police officers on January 6th should get taxpayer money?" Welker asked. "I wouldn't be inclined to say so, but I have to see it," he said. "I can tell you this: 97% of those people, you look at them, the FBI or whoever it was, cause you had a lot of crooked cops, you had dirty cops. Comey was a dirty cop."

"But there is no evidence that," she said. The MTP host badgered Trump to give the public evidence of his claims, but he could not.

Lying Trump On No New Wars Promise: 'I Didn't Promise Anything'

Heather — Sun, 07 Jun 2026 16:28:45 +0000

Grandpa sundowner with more revisionist history on this Sunday's Meet the Press.

During a hostile ridiculous interview that never should have been aired in the first place because of all of the lies Trump was allowed to spew, host Kristen Welker asked Trump about his promise not to start any new wars, and was treated to this nonsense by Trump:

WELKER: So you're saying you didn't break your promise and yet, Mr. President, in your first term, you held to that promise and it was so fundamental to who you were as a candidate, to a first-term president. What changed, because you insisted "no new wars?”

TRUMP: Well, first of all, I didn’t guarantee no war. Why would I have built the strongest military in the world? I built our military. I inherited a terrible military. We had no equipment. We had nothing. I built a tremendous military. Biden gave a lot of it away, but it’s still a relatively small portion compared to what I built.

WELKER: But you said it over and over again.

TRUMP: Wait a minute. Why would I build a military? Now, I didn't want to use this, but I'm doing you and everybody else a big favor in the midst of the greatest stock market in history, in the midst of the most successful country, because as you know, in the last time we were a dead country, Kristen, I know you, you're a big liberal, a big progressive.

WELKER: No, I'm just a journalist.

NY Post Flack Conflates Trump's Ballroom Monstrosity To Obama's Basketball Court

Heather — Sun, 07 Jun 2026 14:56:48 +0000

This is the same New York Post columnist that CNN feels compelled to constantly inflict on their viewers during their idiot panel discussion shows that usually ends up getting her ass handed to her when she spews nonsense on NewsNight or Table for Five.

But this was Fox, so you're not going to see any fact-checking during segments like this one. Instead, the audience was treated to Fox News Live host Aishah Hasnie spewing as much propaganda for Trump as the guest on her show this Saturday.

Hasnie started things off by pretending that Trump turning the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool into something that resembles a swimming pool while lining his friend's pockets with no-bid contracts for the work and his ballroom that he didn't get Congressional approval for are somehow beautifying Washington and wonderful for the city, before allowing her guese Lydia Moynihan to pretend what Trump is doing in any way, shape or form is comparable to Obama's basketball court.

HASNIE: Take a look at this — a live look at the Lincoln Memorial reflecting pool. Maybe you've been there, maybe one day you'll see it in person. Renovations are complete and water is flowing again at this historic site.

It comes as President Trump has announced plans for a new promenade connecting the Lincoln Memorial to the Potomac River. The president is giving D.C. a big makeover ahead of the Freedom 250 celebrations this summer.

Texas Declares State Of Disaster After Flesh-Eating Screwworm Outbreak

Ed Scarce — Sun, 07 Jun 2026 14:00:58 +0000

After Elon's DOGE eliminated a program designed to contain the parasite last year, it's now returned and threatens the entire U.S. livestock industry. Heck of a job, Trump.

Source: NBC News

A flesh-eating parasite that had been kept out of U.S. livestock for decades has been detected in Texas, threatening the nation’s cattle industry and food supply at a time when prices are already high.

The case of New World screwworm was confirmed in a 3-week-old calf in La Pryor, near the U.S.-Mexico border, Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins said late Wednesday.

The parasitic fly’s larvae feed exclusively on the living tissue of warm-blooded animals.

While the fly is capable of infecting humans and pets, such cases are rare and pose little risk to the broader public, according to experts.

The parasite does not pose a food safety threat, but a wider outbreak could still cost the livestock industry billions of dollars and put additional pressure on beef prices that are already at record highs.

The case is the first confirmed detection of New World screwworm in Texas since 1966 and is the only confirmed case identified in the country so far, Rollins said.

Since this report, a second case has been detected prompting Texas Governor Abbott to declare a state of disaster for all 254 counties in Texas.

Kellyanne Conway Says The Quiet Part Out Loud On Their Opposition To Platner

Heather — Sun, 07 Jun 2026 12:52:22 +0000

We all know they could care less about any of Platner's flaws that might make left leaning voters move away from him.

I have no idea how the voters in Maine are going to decide who their candidate for US Senate should be, and whether recent reporting by the New York Times is going to be a deal breaker or not, but I do know why the yakkers on Fox and the likes of Trumper Kellyanne Conway hate Platner, and Conway said the quiet part out loud on this Friday's Hannity on Fox.

Here's Conway admitting after an extremely long diatribe attacking Platner, and promising to somehow make him the "face of the Democratic Party," that the reason they really hate him is he supports a whole bunch of positions that are popular with most of the American public and that Republicans hate.

JONES: Kellyanne Conway, the allegation now is that it's Republicans who are putting out this research. I mean, November is far away. Just my instincts — and you've been doing this way longer than me, Kellyanne — this is Democrats putting this information out. As Guy even says, it was the New York Times that sought her out for the story. Yet this has been turned into, at least from the progressive wing, a claim that Republicans planted this information.

Nearly 100 Pardoned MAGA Insurrectionists Have Found New Ways To Stay Busy

Brad Reed — Sun, 07 Jun 2026 12:52:22 +0000

On the first day of his second term last year, President Donald Trump delivered a mass pardon to more than 1,500 people who were charged with crimes related to the violent riot at the US Capitol on January 6, 2021.

An analysis published Thursday by Lawfare associate editor Katherine Pompilio finds that at least 97 of these pardoned Trump supporters have been charged with other crimes, including serious alleged offenses such as grand larceny, fraud, and plots to assassinate law enforcement officials and politicians.

The analysis also documents 14 instances of pardoned Capitol rioters being “charged with sex crimes or crimes related to child sexual abuse material (CSAM),” while “at least six” have been charged with domestic violence.

Some of the pardoned rioters have been charged with more minor offenses, including public intoxication, possession of drug paraphernalia, and property damage.

The most notable finding is that at least five of the repeat offenders committed crimes after being freed from prison as a result of Trump’s actions, suggesting that his pardon “may have actively facilitated criminal conduct.”

Trump’s Fragile Ego Demanded CBS As A Blood Sacrifice

Oliver Willis — Sun, 07 Jun 2026 01:30:01 +0000

For almost 100 years, CBS has been one of the most well-known and respected news media brands in the United States.

But since the start of President Donald Trump’s second term, the brand and its parent network have lost respect, influence, and esteem as they’ve bent to Trump’s will.

While the right has often lashed out at media that doesn’t parrot the company line, the targeting of CBS has been sustained and politically successful. During the 2024 presidential campaign, Trump declined to be interviewed on “60 Minutes” simply because the network pressed him on his botched COVID-19 response during his failed 2020 reelection campaign.

After he won in 2024, Trump sued the network, falsely alleging that CBS manipulated former Vice President Kamala Harris’ responses during an interview. The suit was specious, and media law experts said that CBS had a strong case against Trump. But instead, CBS gave in and paid Trump off, effectively bribing him.

It's A Slush Fund! And Permanent Immunity! Two Crimes In One!

Tengrain — Sun, 07 Jun 2026 00:00:02 +0000

Wednesday's edition of Electoral-Vote contains this deeper explanation of what I thought was IRS immunity; it’s actually much, Much, MUCH bigger:

Incidentally, it’s unclear to us why the media is reporting that this deal is only about Trump’s taxes. The language is framed as a release of ALL claims any government agency may have against Trump and the other plaintiffs related to “the Case or the Pending Agency Claims,” “Lawfare and/or Weaponization,” or “any matters currently pending or that could be pending (including tax returns filed before the Effective Date) before Defendants or other agencies or departments.” Did Blanche leave anyone or any part of the government out? We don’t think so. In addition, if one looks carefully at the purported agreement, those capitalized terms also have special significance and purport to confer even broader immunity on Trump. For example, the term “Pending Agency Claims” refers to a claim Trump made under the Federal Tort Claims Act related to the search for classified documents at Mar-a-Lago. The release language could be read as prohibiting a future DoJ from refiling the criminal classified documents case against Trump.

Talk about a get out of jail free card, he could steal the Resolute Desk, pack it up on his stolen “gift” Qatar airplane to Merde-a-Lardo and not be charged.

‘The Country Is Not Trump’s To Liquidate’: His Grift Is Costing Us All

Brad Reed — Sat, 06 Jun 2026 22:30:02 +0000

The American Economic Liberties Project and Groundwork Collaborative on Wednesday released a joint report detailing how President Donald Trump’s unprecedented corruption is padding his own pockets at the expense of US taxpayers.

The report—titled “The Price of Corruption: How Trump’s Pay-to-Play Administration is Driving Up Costs for Working Families”—explains how Trump isn’t just using the presidency to enrich himself, but leaving ordinary Americans to foot the bill for his corrupt dealings.

The report notes that the TrumpRx website, which purports to offer Americans deep discounts on drugs, is actually a scheme for funneling even more money to large pharmaceutical companies.

“When Trump rolled out TrumpRX earlier this year, the administration claimed it was a way for Americans to access more affordable prescription drugs,” the report states. “Instead, the platform fails to disclose information about less expensive generic alternatives and, in some instances, charges consumers more for products that are available for less elsewhere.”

The Media Stopped Being Shocked By Trump — Now It's Just Impressed

Steve M. — Sat, 06 Jun 2026 15:05:00 +0000

Stephen Robinson asks, yet again, why the bizarre words and deeds of the aging Donald Trump aren't covered the same way Joe Biden's "senior moments" were:

This past weekend, Trump’s social media feed was a wellspring of lunacy. He posted more than 50 times on Saturday alone, hurling personal attacks at Barack Obama, Joe Biden, and Rosie O’Donnell — one of whom was never actually president. He shared an absurd AI-generated image of himself as a New York Knicks player dunking on Gov. Kathy Hochul. He boasted about defeating “disloyal” Republicans in their primaries. He continued picking fights with the Pope. He attacked the judge who ruled that he couldn’t illegally deface the Kennedy Center with his name....

Yet Trump’s unhinged posts last weekend weren’t the stuff of front-page coverage at the New York Times or Washington Post....

George Santos Threatened A Reporter? Maybe.

Red Painter — Sat, 06 Jun 2026 15:04:37 +0000

The George Santos Kalshi story keeps getting weirder and weirder.

Right after the story broke about Santos possibly being under investigation by the DOJ for insider trading on Kalshi, it appears that he may have threatened the reporter who reported the story first.

Bobby Allyn is the reporter involved in the very story he was reporting. Shortly after he dug into the Kalshi fiasco, Santos allegedly called Allyn from a blocked number. On the other end - a furious George Santos. The story broke the day before and Santos had been given notice about the pending story.

Santos, with his typical bluster and lies, told the journalist that his "lawyers have been calling the Department of Justice all day, and they can't find any investigation." Allyn wanted to record the call, but Santos refused. So, Allyn did what any good journalist does - he transcribed the conversation. Old school writing (or typing, as the case may be here). And what Santos said to him was shocking.

First, Allyn asked who Santos' lawyers were. He refused to disclose. But, he did say, rudely, "I'm George f*cking Santos, of course I have a legal team."

Then, like any good MAGA, he attacked NPR.

Trump Tells WI Farmers: ‘Your Life Is Much Better Than My Life’

Heather — Sat, 06 Jun 2026 12:42:54 +0000

Trump told the farmers that he's been bankrupting how great they have it during a roundtable event in Chippewa Falls, WI this Friday.

Trump appears with Van Orden, Tiffany at Chippewa Falls farm roundtable:

Trump’s visit is his first to Wisconsin during this year’s election season. First to take the stage on Friday were U.S. Reps. Derrick Van Orden and Tom Tiffany, signaling the importance of the 3rd Congressional District and the Wisconsin gubernatorial contest for Republicans this year.

Despite Trump’s waning approval ratings, Van Orden and Tiffany tied themselves to the president, effusively praising him.

Trump appeared on stage for the roundtable with both congressmen as well as U.S. Sen. Ron Johnson, Secretary of Agriculture Brooke Rollins, farm owner Ken Custer, Jake Leinenkugel, Olympic speed skater Jordan Stolz and Joe Thomas, a Hall of Fame former NFL player who played for UW-Madison and now owns a western Wisconsin beef farm.

NJ Cop Charged With Stealing Photog's Camera Gear At Delaney Hall

Susie Madrak — Sat, 06 Jun 2026 12:42:37 +0000

A New Jersey police sergeant has been charged with stealing $10,000 worth of cameras and other equipment from a photojournalist who had been injured covering tense protests outside a Newark immigration jail. He has been suspended without pay, according to the AP.

Darryl Brown, a sergeant in the Essex County Prosecutor’s Office, was caught with the missing items after the photojournalist used an Air Tag to trace her missing gear to his home, the state’s attorney general said Thursday.

The journalist, Angelina Katsanis, was on assignment for The Associated Press at Delaney Hall on Saturday night when she was struck in the knee by a wood beam during a clash between police and demonstrators.

As she hobbled to a medical tent to seek attention, Katsanis left behind her gear bag, which was marked with her name and contact information. When she was eventually allowed to return to the area — now in a wheelchair — the bag was gone.

“I checked my Airtag and the bag was already on a highway pretty far away at that point,” Katsanis recalled. “Right away, I had a feeling it was the police because they were the only ones with access to that area.”
As Katsanis sought treatment in a nearby hospital, the Airtag pinged to a home in Sparta, New Jersey, which was listed as belonging to Brown, according to the attorney general’s office. The device was later recovered on the side of a road, miles away from the home where it was initially taken.

Kennedy Center Speedruns Erasing Trump Like A Bad One-Night Stand

Conover Kennard — Sat, 06 Jun 2026 12:42:19 +0000

Donald J. Trump has spent his career slapping his name on everything that holds still long enough — buildings, golf courses, steaks, the occasional government program — but a federal judge has apparently decided the Kennedy Center has suffered enough. And this is happening before his birthday on the 14th.

Following a May 29 ruling, staff at the venue received a memo this week directing them to scrub Trump's name from, well, every fucking thing: email signatures, letterhead, signage, brochures, the website — the works. The deadline for full de-Trumpification is June 12. The center will revert to its original name, honoring an actual president who was, notably, a champion of the arts rather than a litigant against them.

Via Town&Country:

In February of this year, Trump announced plans to shut down the Kennedy Center for two years; Judge Cooper’s ruling also reversed that decision. In a post on Truth Social after the ruling, Trump criticized the judge, and said “we are going to be working with Congress to transfer this failing Institution back to them so they can make a determination as to what to do with it… Unless I am free to do what I do better than anyone else, bring this Institution back, physically, financially, and artistically, I have no interest in continuing what could only be a hopeless journey.”

Todd Blanche Promises To Protect Trump From Future Prosecutions

John Amato — Sat, 06 Jun 2026 12:42:04 +0000

Acting Atty. Gen. Todd Blanche made clear that he is putting up roadblocks to protect Trump from any future prosecution after he leaves office.

This is not the role for an Atty. General, but it is the role of a sycophantic groupie that wields the power of the DOJ.

Former Fox News host Katie Pavlich now has a show on News Nation, and she brought up a new conspiracy to wet their whistles on.

PAVLICH: You said this week that you believe President Trump absolutely faced prison if he hadn't won the election in 2024.

Democrats have been talking a lot about what they call Project 2029, their plans to prosecute the president, administration officials, ICE agents after the term is up, if they regain power either on Capitol Hill or in the White House.

Do you believe that's a possibility? And what can be done to prevent this kind of political retribution from Democrats?

BLANCHE: Well, do I believe it's a possibility that the Democrats will go after President Trump, his family, anybody that knows him, anybody that worked for him?

I think they've proven that to be true. And what can we do about it is we can just keep on exposing.

When we learn about the weaponization that happened for many years, we can keep on exposing it and putting roadblocks in place so it never happens again.

Trump was prosecuted and convicted by New York State.

A Zoo Buffalo, An Alien Probe, And Taco Tuesday

Cliff Schecter — Sat, 06 Jun 2026 12:00:01 +0000

David Shuster's Top AI Political Clips Of The Week is once again upon us. Let's just say this: one of them involves an albino buffalo; one of them is narrated like you’re watching prestige wildlife television; and one of them turns a very ordinary day of the week into the most damning two minutes you’ll see all month. Also, there’s a chorus. You will sing it. You will be a little ashamed of how fast you learn it.

It only escalates from there, which is a nice parallel to the cruelty, corruption, and incompetence of this President. The #2 clip drags a certain administration into a fashion-world showdown with a magazine whose name you won’t forget. At #1, from Canada, we imagine what happens when those demanding release of certain files meet someone with technology to get answers the hard way.

Watch the full countdown, read more about it at BAM, and see what a bucket of fried chicken has to do with it.

Trump’s Cabinet Fluffs And Flatters Him Every Six Sentences

NewsHound Ellen — Fri, 05 Jun 2026 22:58:23 +0000

The New York Times did a deep dive into Donald Trump’s cabinet meetings. The results are disturbing but not surprising.

After reviewing every televised Trump cabinet meeting from February 2025 to March 2026, The Times found, "On average, at least one of every six sentences either flattered Mr. Trump, gave him credit or criticized his political opponents.."

The Times also reviewed the 22 televised cabinet meetings in Trump’s first term. It concluded that he has been complimented far more in his second term cabinet meetings than in his first. That's even though he has since been convicted of 34 felonies and impeached for his role in the Jan. 6 insurrection and attack on the Capitol after he couldn't handle losing the 2020 election.

Interestingly, at least to me, The Times noted that while Secretary of State and (2028 presidential hopeful) Marco Rubio and CIA Director John Ratcliffe “packed their speaking time with praise,” others, such as Vice President JD Vance (who likened Trump to Hitler before deciding he was just fine being "Hitler's" VP) focused on attacking Democrats.

Alabama Sen. Tuberville In Trouble For Voting In Florida

NewsHound Ellen — Fri, 05 Jun 2026 22:22:03 +0000

Once again, the accusation looks a lot like an admission.

As Raw Story reported, Sen. Tommy Tuberville has championed Trump’s voter suppression legislation, known as the SAVE Act. He claimed that Donald Trump lost the 2020 election because of “rampant voter fraud.”

It turns out Tuberville has some serious ‘splaining to do on that very subject.

AL.com’s Kyle Whitmire has been digging into rumors that Sen. Tommy Tuberville is actually a Floridian and so ineligible to run for governor in Alabama. “Alabama law requires candidates for governor to have lived in the state for the last seven years,” Whitmire noted.

Now, Whitmire and AL.com have some very damning receipts.

Tuberville owns a 4,000-square-foot home in Florida, worth at least $4 million, Whitmire reports. He has owned it for nearly 20 years. In 2017, his wife and son bought a much smaller, much less valuable house in Auburn, Alabama, which Tuberville had claimed as his residence. He sold that home in 2023, according to Whitmire.

NY Times Omits Minor Detail In Platner Hit Piece

Ed Scarce — Fri, 05 Jun 2026 21:04:45 +0000

There are dirty tricks, and then there are coordinated attacks meant to move the needle in political races. The latest New York Times opus against Maine's Graham Platner is sort of more of the same from them, printing allegations and then "letting the people decide" their merit. Except in this case, these stalwarts of journalistic integrity [sic] omitted some rather salient details.

Nonetheless, that was not enough for Fifield, who was aghast this morning that her story featured in the paper of record didn't receive as much attention in the more skeptical mainstream press as she had hoped, saying to the New York Post, their "watering down bombshell story as ‘gift’ to the Democrat’s campaign.

In 2020, Heather Higgins, chair of the Independent Women’s Forum, where Fifield is a fellow, bragged, “We wrote a memo. It was used by a lot of members of the Senate and the House, Fox News, and elsewhere. Most important, Susan Collins told me that without that memo, she would not see how to support him,” Higgins said. “And if you look at the speech she gave on the Senate floor, it’s entirely the playing out and architecture of how we said to structure the argument — what to say and how to say it, which is just so gratifying. We’re watching TV, and we’re like, ‘That’s ours! That’s ours!”

Kevin Hassett Now Claims Wall Street Doesn't Understand Trump's Golden Age

John Amato — Fri, 05 Jun 2026 20:15:03 +0000

Trump economic cut out Kevin Hassett attacked Wall Street for not understanding Trump's supposed golden age economy, which is in line with his criticisms of everyone who complains about the affordability crisis, skyrocketing inflation, and fuel costs.

Today's job numbers were much better-than-expected, but that didn't have the desired effect on the stock markets Trump longs for since rate reductions are now in jeopardy while treasury yields spiked.

HASSETT: Yeah, it's absolutely a blowout number.

And the thing that's most astonishing about it is, is we look at the forecast of everybody that surveyed at Bloomberg, and not a single person got this number right. That happens quite a bit. But the error from the top person to this number was about 50,000 jobs.

And so, you know, right now, Wall Street just doesn't understand that the Trump economy is really creating an economic golden age.

And another thing that is probably not going to make the headlines, certainly not in the fake news, is that the numbers keep getting revised up. So you remember under Biden, they kept revising the numbers down.

The only people who believe we are in a Trump economic Golden age are Trump, his officials, and spokespeople. Kevin Hassett constantly tells the viewers that anything negative about Trump and his economy is just temporary. It's been temporary for over a year now, with no hope of recovery any time soon.
