After years of intense scrutiny regarding its financial practices, the Trump Foundation will be dissolved by court order.

In a scathing statement, New York Attorney General Barbara Underwood operated as a piggy bank for President Donald Trump.

Underwood said:

“Our petition detailed a shocking pattern of illegality involving the Trump Foundation – including unlawful coordination with the Trump presidential campaign, repeated and willful self-dealing, and much more. This amounted to the Trump Foundation functioning as little more than a checkbook to serve Mr. Trump’s business and political interests."

The foundation will dissolve under judicial supervision and must disperse its remaining assets to legitimate organizations approved by the office of the New York Attorney General.

The Trump Foundation was notorious for its misuse of funds years before the court order, when revelations that $258,000 of donations went toward legal settlements and $20,000 was used to commission a portrait of Donald Trump.

The statement was lauded by many.

Americans everywhere were relieved to see that the corruption wouldn't go unchecked.

But that was just the beginning.

Others noted that Trump and his cronies often brayed about the corruption within the Clinton Foundation, which—despite numerous politically motivated investigations—continues to fully operate.

Though the dissolution of the foundation means that crimes won't be allowed to continue, many still wanted people to answer for the crimes.

But as former U.S. Attorney Joyce Alene points out, the saga is likely far from over.

And the dominoes begin to fall.

Gavin Newsom Furiously Calls BS On Trump Admin's Reason For Freezing Over $1 Billion In Medicaid Funds For California And Minnesota

California Governor Gavin Newsom criticized the Trump administration following its announcement that it's withholding more $867 million in Medicaid funds earmarked for California and $199 million for Minnesota due to fraud allegations.

The Trump administration said the money will remain frozen until the states submit documentation proving the payments are legitimate and free of fraud. Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said the funds would only be released once both states provide the requested records.

Olympic Snowboarder Chloe Kim Sparks Debate After Calling Out Fans Who Only 'Facetune' Themselves In Photos With Her

Olympic snowboarder Chloe Kim is used to making headlines for what she does on the slopes. This week, though, she's going viral for something entirely different: a TikTok calling out fans who "Facetune" themselves in photos with her while leaving her completely unedited.

For anyone who's blissfully unfamiliar, Facetune is a photo-editing app that's become a social media staple, offering everything from skin smoothing and teeth whitening to facial reshaping and AI-powered filters. Some people use it with a light touch, while others opt for a much more dramatic transformation—but either way, it's a common part of posting selfies online.

Erin Brockovich Perfectly Lays Out Why AI Data Centers Are 'Pushing People Too Far' In Viral Clip

Self-described "people advocate"—a term she prefers over environmental activist or consumer advocate—Erin Brockovich recently sat down with comedian Theo Von on his podcast This Past Weekend. They spoke about her now adult children, the court case and resulting film that made Brockovich a household name, and what she's done since.

About a third of the way into the hour and a half long sit down, Von noted that what made him want to connect with Brockovich was an article she wrote for her Substack, The Brockovich Report, titled, "If Data Centers Are So Great, Why Are They Being Built in Secret?" which launched her mapping initiative posted on the website Brockovich AI Data Center Reporting.
