#TrumpFamilyCrimeSyndicate “Democracy Defenders Fund, Working with former New Jersey AG Matt Platkin, filed a complaint with the Securities & Exchange Commission urging it investigate ALT5 Sigma (ALTS). This company boasts Trump’s son Eric as a board member and Trump Special Envoy Steve Witkoff’s son Zach as its board chair.

Melania: “I never robbed that bank. I know people say they saw me near the bank, putting on a mask holding a gun, but I was never there. And those pictures they have of me doing it are fake.” “Why did Melania hold a news conference today, denying any relationship with Jeffrey Epstein?

“&quot;A whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again.” — Donald J. Trump, April 7, 2026 Three quick thoughts: (1) Has any president of this country — or for that matter, any leader of a liberal democracy — ever threatened the destruction of a “whole civilization” before? (2) The line between the so-called “madman theory” and an actual madman is quite thin, isn’t it? (3) It really was a bad idea to entrust this man with the nuclear button, wasn’t it?” https://open....

First, the world should not have to live under his ravings. Nor should America. Second, check who made money on the stock market. “Trump has backed off his threats to Iran, and the two sides have agreed to a temporary ceasefire tonight, almost like clockwork. But the language he used, including threats that amounted to genocide, does not simply disappear, and more than 50 lawmakers are now calling for impeachment or removal under the 25th Amendment.” https://open.substack.com/pub/aaronparnas/p...

“The Philadelphia area’s federal workforce was cut down by thousands last year under President Donald Trump — and for the first time, what agencies were hit the hardest by job loss has become clear. Agencies that saw the most employee loss in the region were the Department of the Treasury, the Department of Veterans Affairs and the Social Security Administration. In the 11-county Philadelphia metro area, there was a net loss of 3,906 federal jobs from January 2025 through February 2026 — a 16....

More stupefying things daily. “U.S. officials reportedly threatened and pressured the Vatican, warning that America’s military power gives it the ability to act without restraint and pushing the Church to fall in line. The pope refused, instead escalating his criticism of war and domination, signaling a clear break with U.S. policy. https://open.substack.com/pub/aaronparnas/p/news-ceasefire-on-the-verge-of-collapsing?r=ce00&amp;utm_medium=ios

And I assume there go the Epstein files “it will allow Trump to destroy the records of his administration’s actions, or take records with him at the end of his term,&quot; he wrote. &quot;Combined with alleged violations of PRA in his first term, this could make Trump the most poorly documented president since at least Richard Nixon, and perhaps going back even further. &quot; https://www.rawstory.com/trump-doj-2676683279/

“Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book rewritten, every picture has been repainted, every statue and street building has been renamed, every date has been altered. And the process is continuing day by day and minute by minute. History has stopped. Nothing exists except an endless present in which the Party is always right.” ―George Orwell, 1984 Enacted in 1978, in the wake of Watergate, the Presidential Records Act (PRA) makes all records created or received by the President...

Trump’s “victory”? Worse than before he started this war. Worse than under Obama and Biden. And he still threatened war crimes. “Iran’s media is claiming it has achieved a great victory, forcing the U.S. to agree in principle to its 10-point plan, which includes the end of sanctions against Iran, the removal of all U.S. combat forces from bases in the region, and Iranian control of the Strait of Hormuz. If these terms are correct, they leave the United States significantly worse off than it was...

No money for Americans. Just for Trump’s war. “Trump’s 2027 War Department Budget Plan Could Exceed $1.5 Trillion (Bloomberg) President Donald Trump is preparing to release a fiscal year 2027 budget plan on Friday that will frame his party’s midterm election message around a massive defense buildup, partially paid for by cuts to domestic agencies. https://gcaptain.com/2027-pentagon-war-budget-trump/

This would be one of the worst moves by any president in American history.
