This is so insanely corrupt, I can’t even believe it.
More than half the donors to Trump’s $400 million White House ballroom just won over $50 billion in new federal contracts in six months.
And here’s the part that should make your blood boil.
Sixteen of these 27 donors were facing federal enforcement actions, antitrust reviews, labor cases, securities charges. Many of those cases have been quietly dropped or scaled back since Trump took office. You write a check, your legal problems disappear. That’s not a coincidence.
The White House won’t even release the full donor list. They’re hiding it on purpose, because daylight is the one thing pay-to-play can’t survive. A federal judge already ruled ballroom construction has to stop until Congress authorizes it.
Government is supposed to serve the people, not auction itself off to the highest bidder. When access goes to whoever pays the most, working families always end up paying the price.
We either end the corruption, or the corruption will end us.

California just held an election with paper ballots, signature verification, audits, bipartisan oversight, and public vote counting procedures.
You don’t get to yell “fraud” every time voters make a choice you don’t like.
Take the whiny little b*tch act somewhere else. We’re not buying that bullshit in this state!
Washington Post: Elias Irizarry, a convicted Jan. 6 rioter, has been hired by the Trump administration to work in a Pentagon office that oversees highly classified military operations, according to four people familiar with the matter.
The hire has raised alarm among staff, who question how someone convicted of taking part in the assault on American democracy could be trusted with such a sensitive role in the U.S. government.
By firing Scott Pelley, editor-in-chief of CBS News Bari Weiss has single-handedly destroyed the most brilliant investigative newsmagazine in network history, 60 Minutes. Weiss exemplifies everything MAGA is about: ego, incompetence, and blithering idiocy.
🚨 WOW.
Trump’s financial disclosure forms reportedly show he bought between $1 MILLION and $5 MILLION in Dell stock earlier this year.
Then THIS WEEK…
the Pentagon awarded Dell a contract worth MORE THAN $9 BILLION.
Read that again slowly.
Let me get this *ahem* straight: trump wears makeup, a wig, a girdle, and high heels, and he’s attacking James Talarico’s masculinity? Just wanted to make sure I understood the situation. It would be funny if it wasn’t so fucking pathetic.
In 2024, President Biden released a six-page physical packed with real medical history, medications, labs, conditions, and specialist reviews.
The press, including Ed, still beat the hell out of him and @K_JeanPierre.
Tonight, Trump releases a 3-page propaganda memo pretending he’s Superman while admitting he’s 238 pounds, on cholesterol drugs, taking aspirin, had swelling and bruising, and was told to lose weight.
And the press shrugs.
That cowardly, useless, access-obsessed double standard is exactly how we got here.
Biden gave them a medical report and got dragged for months.
Trump gave them fan fiction on White House letterhead, and they clap like trained seals.
Sick.
Allow me to be the first to congratulate the MAGA morons, who spent years howling about the $1.7B that Obama returned to Iran.
Your 4D chess master is handing Iran $300B, to open the Strait of Hormuz, that Obama kept open for free.
Brilliant!
The US Justice Department is seeking the names, addresses, and banking information of Reddit and X users, ratcheting up efforts to identify social media critics of government deportation efforts. https://t.co/7juwC4RkJo
The #NBA draft & lottery reform is pure idiocy. How teams in certain markets can build or rebuild their teams has been destroyed. Adam Silver & a segment of whiny podcasters & Twitter seem to be purposely trying to ruin the league.
