    Today, we're diving into a story that's raising eyebrows and sparking fierce debate: "From DOJ to ATM: The President’s Cash Grab."Former President Donald Trump is seeking an extraordinary $230 million in taxpayer money from the Department of Justice. This substantial claim is for what he asserts are damages incurred from two major federal investigations: the probe into alleged Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election, and the investigation into his handling of classified documents after leaving the White House, which included the FBI search of Mar-a-Lago.Trump's rationale is that these investigations were "politically motivated 'Witch Hunts'" and constituted "malicious prosecution" and an "invasion of privacy" by the federal government. He argues he's entitled to compensation for legal expenses and alleged harm to his reputation.

  • Breach Of Trust

    Breach Of Trust
    Dec 7 2025
    We're diving into a contentious issue that consistently sparks public outrage: the approval of certain payouts funded directly by taxpayers, which critics are labeling as clear instances of self-dealing.
    At its core, self-dealing refers to a profound breach of trust. It's when individuals in positions of authority leverage their official capacity to illegitimately benefit themselves, or those closely connected to them, often at the direct expense of public funds. Imagine your tax dollars, intended for essential services like education, healthcare, or infrastructure, being diverted into private pockets through questionable means. That’s the heart of the problem.

In an October 23rd, 2025 letter, Raskin, the Ranking Member of the House Judiciary Committee, and Garcia, Ranking Member of the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, urged Trump to abandon this plan, labeling it an "outrageous shake down" and "theft" from the American people.
