Whoa.

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.

Texas Conservatives Are Up In Arms After Receiving Pamphlets For Trans Teens—Except Republicans Are Behind It All

Although the pamphlets distributed at the start of Texas’s early voting period claim to come from the Transgender Education Network of Texas (TENT), a legitimate organization, the materials are fraudulent, the group has confirmed.

George Santos Just Threw His Hat In The Ring For White House Press Secretary—And The Reactions Are Priceless

Disgraced former New York Republican Representative George Santos was widely mocked after he threw his name in the mix to replace former White House Press Secretary Katie Zacharia, who was fired after just five days on the job.

Santos, whose political career was derailed by allegations of fabricating his background, misusing campaign funds for luxury items and Botox, and leaving a trail of victims behind him as a known fraud and identity thief, has been soapboxing significantly since President Donald Trump commuted his prison sentence in October 2025.
