The Trump FBI conducted a massive raid targeting a voter registration group in NE Ohio. The FBI used hundreds of agents, in an election year, even going to people’s homes.
Voting is a constitutional right – so we need answers. I’m demanding details from the FBI.
My friend Jamie Raskin is one of the most careful and principled people in Congress. So when he says the director of the FBI may be running a taxpayer funded slush fund, I pay attention.
Here is what he found.
Kash Patel directed more than $1 million in bonus payments to a small circle of agents in his inner circle and on his security detail.
Some were getting nearly $8,000 every two weeks on top of salaries that were already maxed out at the federal ceiling. A number of them collected close to $40,000 over consecutive pay periods.
The payments came so fast that the FBI’s bonus reserve accounts ran dry and some checks bounced.
So who got the money?
Agents on Patel’s so-called "director’s advisory team."
That is the unit created in 2025 and described internally as a payback squad, built to dig up dirt on the law enforcement officials who investigated Trump and his allies.
Raskin has given Patel until June 29 to account for every payment, every recipient, and any internal review of whether this was even legal.
Patel should answer for all of it.

The Trump administration is pulling a working $368 million ocean monitoring system out of the water.
Equipment taxpayers already bought and paid for, removed right as record temperatures and a possible collapse of Atlantic currents have scientists alarmed. There is no savings analysis. The gear is already paid for. And the same people killing the monitors want to mine the deep sea, destroying the only tools that could measure the damage.
They are smashing the gauges while the engine is on fire. You cannot see the damage if you break the instruments first.
The net result of a war that cost $60 billion, killed 13 Americans and thousands Iranian civilians, set off a new war between Israel and Lebanon, and caused massive U.S. inflation:
America agrees to give Iran billions in exchange for nothing.
A disastrous humiliation.
$12 million. That's how much taxpayer money the Trump Administration spent to rehire the same federal workers they'd previously fired.
Talk about waste, fraud, and abuse – this Administration commits all three on a daily basis.
Donald Trump converted the White House into a money-making operation for himself, his family, and his closest advisors and biggest campaign donors. It's endless corrupt self-enrichment from a president who says he doesn't "think about Americans' financial situation.” No kidding.
🚨 BREAKING: Gavin Newsom says the Trump Justice Department is investigating both him and his wife.
Newsom isn’t treating it as a routine legal matter.
He’s treating it as a political warning shot.
“Donald Trump isn’t just coming after me because of my mean Tweets. He’s coming after me because I am considering running for President.”
Think about what that accusation means.
Newsom is claiming the investigation isn’t about what he did.
It’s about what he might do next.
And if he’s right, the story isn’t just California.
It’s the opening chapter of the 2028 presidential race.
🤳 CDC Director, Surgeon General, Assistant Secretary for Pandemic Preparedness, FDA Commissioner...is anybody there?
Ebola and hantavirus are on the rise—who’s in charge here? Well, thanks to Trump…nobody!
#BREAKING: Hayes: “According to the NYTimes, the USPS has proposed a new rule that would allow it to REFUSE to deliver mail ballots in states that don’t turn over voter rolls to the federal government. That vaguely written rule released last week calls on states to compile lists of mail voters that postal service employees would use to screen ballots for eligibility. And if states refuse to comply, the post office could refuse to send their mail ballots. Can you imagine postal workers deputized by the Trump administration just refusing to deliver mail ballots to Californians? What about states that comply? Imagine postal workers at some place reviewing a state’s voter roll to determine who can vote and who can’t? Its unconstitutional, its chaotic, It’s maybe the wildest attempt yet to interfere in free and fair elections, short of course, of using federal agents to criminally investigate voting rights activists, to raid their office, maybe even perp walk them in for charges. That of course has been a classic old school tactic of election-rigging autocrats for generations around the world.” 😳
These men are such money grubbers and they can’t take it with them when they’re gone,but then there’s amazing women like Mackenzie Scott who just donated $70 million for Meals on Wheels!
Jamie Raskin responds to Trump calling for his expulsion: We don’t quite know exactly what triggered him, but it was a rough week for the president in the Judiciary Committee. Maybe he’s got Raskin Derangement Syndrome or something.
Bottom line: We’re doing our job. We’re on the front lines of this struggle against corruption and authoritarianism, and we’re not going to be deterred.
This is not middle school, where he thinks he can expel someone for questioning his authority.
🚨 BREAKING BUTLER NEWS: Donald Trump himself shut down the investigation into his alleged assassin.
They’ll spin this 100 different ways, but there is no good reason for it. It was a false flag all along.
BREAKING: CNN Just Highlighted A Pretty Devastating Number.
84% of Americans say the Epstein files reinforce their belief that powerful people are rarely held accountable.
Think about that.
Not 84% of Democrats.
Not 84% of Republicans.
84% of Americans.
The breakdown was even more striking:
- 82% of Republicans
- 80% of Independents
- 90% of Democrats
Prediction markets have reportedly lowered the odds that Todd Blanche becomes Trump's next Attorney General.
The Epstein controversy isn't creating distrust.
It's validating distrust that was already there.
And now it's starting to affect people connected to the administration.
JUST IN: This Is A Pretty Stunning Observation.
Trump is celebrating a new Iran agreement centered on a commitment that Iran will never obtain a nuclear weapon.
According to ABC's Jonathan Karl, that same commitment appeared in the very first paragraph of President Obama's nuclear deal more than a decade ago.
Think about that.
First came Obama's agreement.
Then Trump tore it up.
Now Trump is celebrating an agreement built around the same core promise.
