Trump J6ER Scheme: funding his private insurrection army with taxpayer dollars

Ken Harbaugh breaks down the Trump administration's nearly two-billion-dollar settlement fund for January 6th rioters — including the case of pardoned insurrectionist Andrew Paul Johnson, sentenced to life for molesting two children after telling one victim he expected millions from Trump. Ken is joined by Army combat vet and Veterans Fighting Fascism founder Kris Goldsmith to unpack what the slush fund really signals six months before the midterms.

What Really Happened On January 6th (Find Out podcast)

We sit down with former U.S. Capitol Police officer Harry Dunn about what really happened on January 6th.

Harry takes us inside the Capitol on that day — the chaos, the threats, the fear, and the moments that still haunt him. He explains what most Americans still don’t know about the attack, why the truth continues to matter, and how disinformation has twisted the events he lived through.

We also talk about his new mission: defending democracy, supporting the officers who stood on the front lines, and warning the country about what could happen if we ignore the lessons of January 6th.

Trump’s Despicable Disaster Relief Conditions & Republicans Hard at Work…

The nominations came out today for the 97th Academy Awards, we had some new wildfires pop up last night, Guillermo said he needed to evacuate even though he lives 30 minutes from the fire, Trump is visiting LA to blame us for the fires in person, he is threatening to not help us if he doesn’t get what he wants, he went on Hannity to rant about transgender surgeries for kids, he is planning to declassify the files about JFK, RFK & MLK, the Republican-led Congress is hard at work finding out what happened on January 6th, the Bidens are in California right now, Pete Hegseth will very likely be our next Secretary of Defense, and Fox News has now lost so many people to Trump’s administration that there is a major shortage of on-air talent.
