  What a relief! Trump Jr.’s wife said that “russians paid only for the after-parties, but not the actual wedding.” That changes everything. No connection to russia. I am shocked by the reaction from MAGA. If a russian oligarch had covered the bills for Biden or Obama, there would

  Trump tried to strong-arm Ukraine into effectively surrendering to Russia in 2025. He pushed for Ukraine to cede its fortress belt, accept de facto recognition of occupied territory, lift sanctions on Russia, without any security guarantees that would prevent Russia from starting another war a few years later. He also pushed a ridiculous ultimatum…

  When a team of ProPublica reporters first heard that a Putin-linked oligarch named Umar Kremlev attended Donald Trump Jr.’s wedding, they couldn’t believe it. Then they found the proof in an Instagram group photo. Listen to this excerpt from our “Paper Trail” podcast:

  Bettina Trump explains that Putin's oligarch financing her and Donald Trump Junior's wedding is not a problem, because 50 guests were flown to the Bahamas to see the wedding ceremony on a Friday, and all the fun which Moscow paid was on Saturday and Sunday, so that had NOTHING to do with the wedding. Plus it was just a wedding gift — no Kremlin…

  I don’t totally agree. Our country isn’t hopeless. Some Republicans, despite having vastly different views than me, did the right thing during Jan 6 insurrection attempt. Not enough of them voted to remove him from office, but Pence did do the right thing. Many of them had their opportunity to take power then and they chose not to for the good of…

  Saying that you have zero faith in anything changing no matter the results of the November elections which include a slew of progressive candidates is an entirely different discussion than that of recognizing establishment/corporate democrats complicity in the current status quo. That is an entirely different discussion than saying “there wont be…

  There is more to the story of a Russian financing of Don Jr.'s wedding than meets the eye. The Trump family may actually be involved in helping Russia avoid sanctions. It involves World Liberty Financial, a handler of cryptocurrency that the Trump family controls and, which conveniently, just got approved to operate as a bank. In the video Paul of…

  Is this proof that the Trump family could be bought and paid for by Putin? Some would say yes.
