A source told the Washington Post that millions of dollars allocated for the Secret Service was redirected for ballroom project construction, despite Pres. Trump's claims the ballroom won't include taxpayer money. Jonathan O'Connell of The Washington Post reports.
Stay vigilant! The SAVE Act is still
kicking around—keep the pressure on your Senators to just say “NO” to this ridiculous bill. Trump Pulls Back Intelligence Pick to Pressure Congress on Elections Bill https://t.co/su4SlaHGQY via @NYTimes
Retired Lt. General @MarkHertling: “I’m sorry for getting emotional, but that comment from @PeteHegseth that diversity is not our strength is bullshit.”
Hertling shows pictures of fallen soldiers to refute Hegseth’s nonsense. Powerful.

So far, eight judges have rebuffed Justice Department demands to hand over sensitive voter roll data. CA, OR, MI, AZ, RI, MA, ME, WI. So far! The League of Women Voters will not stand by as the federal government seeks to weaponize voter data against the American people. @lwv
🔥 TRUMP VOTERS MAD ABOUT DATA CENTERS: “My entire community is gonna to break ranks (and vote for @jamestalarico). All of us. We’ve had enough… Trump doesn’t care about us.”
$5 million for golden statues
$1 billion for a vanity ballroom
Over $29 billion for an illegal war with Iran
The list of this regime's abuse of taxpayer dollars goes on and on...
But when American families need health care or SNAP, suddenly Trump cares about “wasteful spending.”
You did it. Now make it all work. Check the status of your voter registration. Register if you haven’t already.

Don’t let a last-minute purge strip your name from the polls.
🚨 HOLY SHIT.
A U.S. citizen just testified before the Senate that ICE agents ignored his passport, detained him, placed him on suicide watch, and released him WITHOUT charges or explanation.
Read that again.
An AMERICAN CITIZEN says he showed agents his passport multiple times…
and still ended up locked in a cell under 24/7 lights, stripped naked, wearing a hospital gown while guards watched him constantly.
His family reportedly had no idea where he was.
Then after all of that?
No charges.
No explanation.
Just released.
BREAKING: we just won our Kennedy Center case!

This is a 1-2 punch against Trump's corruption
These days I’m at a loss for words. The new corruption scandal is just bananas. Trump has been using inside information to trade stocks and make millions. And the scale of the trading is just mind blowing.
Here’s what we know.
VICTORY: Court Declares NH Anti-Voter Law Unconstitutional. “The League is proud to stand with New Hampshire voters [and voters in every state in the union] and we will continue building a democracy where every eligible voter can participate freely, fairly, and with confidence.”
The U.S. government has agreed to drop any tax claims and audits of the president, his sons and the Trump Organization, according to a letter signed by acting Attorney General Todd Blanche.
It comes a day after the government announced a nearly $1.8 billion "anti-weaponization" fund to compensate some of the president's allies.

JUST IN: Republican Congressman Brian Fitzpatrick says he’s working to “kill” Trump’s $1.8 slush fund through legislative and other means.
Thank you, @RepBrianFitz
