Trump has installed his own personal lawyers at the top of the Department of Justice to steal $230 million of taxpayer money.

This would set a new, global benchmark for corruption in office.

Military coups have been triggered by less.

NYT article which reads:

President Trump is demanding that the Justice Department pay him about $230 million in compensation for the federal investigations into him, according to people familiar with the matter, who added that any settlement might ultimately be approved by senior department officials who defended him or those in his orbit.
The situation has no parallel in American history, as Mr. Trump, a presidential candidate, was pursued by federal law enforcement and eventually won the election, taking over the very government that must now review his claims. It is also the starkest example yet of potential ethical conflicts created by installing the president's former lawyers atop the Justice Department.
Mr. Trump submitted complaints through an administrative claim process that often is the precursor to lawsuits. The first claim, lodged in late 2023, seeks damages for a number of purported violations of his rights, including the F.B.I. and special counsel investigation into Russian election tampering and possible connections to the 2016 Trump campaign, according to people familiar with the matter. They spoke on the condition of anonymity because the claim has not been made public.

If you are a "leader" being quiet on this now, know it will not be getting better anytime soon. The $171 billion for the secret police force is only just now starting to flow. They are on a hiring spree for proud boys.

Politicians, businesses, media - get on the right side of this ASAP.

🧵
Federal agents raided Family Night at La Catedral Arena in Wilder, Idaho. A community racetrack packed with families, food, and music. They came under the guise of “illegal betting.” What they unleashed was terror: children zip-tied, parents separated, and chaos erupting across a crowd of 1,000.

It’s a new work day in D.C. for everyone but Republicans, who are still refusing to come to the negotiating table to protect your healthcare.

America, you deserve better. I’m fighting to make sure Republicans hear your concerns loud and clear, so that you can keep your care.

While 750,000 federal workers go unpaid and moms lose WIC, Trump’s out cheating at golf—on our dime. Families are rationing formula while he’s working on his handicap.

The only thing he’s leading in is hypocrisy. ⛳️

Senate Republicans just blocked Democrats' bill that would have reopened the government and saved health care for millions of Americans.

This is the fifth time they've done this.

Republicans are responsible for this shutdown.
