#BREAKING: Psaki: The people who spent months saying you were going to bankrupt NYC are the same people now supporting the ridiculous $1.776 billion fund. What say you?
NYC Mayor: “…there is a politics across this country that is completely at peace with the idea of spending billions of dollars to enrich those who already have more money than they know what to do with, and what they are offended by is
the idea of spending that money to help those who have been left behind by our politics. It just shows that it’s all a question of priorities, it’s not a question of what’s possible.”🤔
@atrupar This is exactly how it works with these guys. "Expedited contracting" is just fancy speak for handing out no bid multimillion dollar deals to your friends with fat 20% margins while the rest of us get lectured about government waste
🚨 DAMN.
Ruby Bridges said the moment she finally understood what was happening during school integration was when a little white boy told her:
“My mom said I can’t play with you because you’re a nigger.”
She was SIX.
And she said hearing that felt like “a huge weight lifted,” because suddenly everything made sense.
Why the classrooms were empty.
Why adults were screaming.
Why U.S. Marshals had to escort her to school.
Not because of anything she did.
Just because of the color of her skin.
A six-year-old child realizing an entire country was angry at her for existing.
Totally worth the pain at the pump though considering all the strategic successes: replacing one Ayatollah with his son, sinking a bunch of Iranian ships that were of no threat to us, & murdering 150 girls with a tomahawk missile
🚨 HOLY SHIT.
CNN just cited a New York Times estimate saying Trump has reportedly profited $1.4 BILLION from the presidency.
And the wildest part?
One panelist said Trump made MORE MONEY in the last year than in the rest of his life combined.
Think about that.
In almost 18 months, Trump has implemented 92% of Project 2025’s recommendations for the White House.
This should be alarming to everyone.
A total destruction of our institutions from within — so they work less efficient for YOU.
Follow the money on this one. It is rotten to the core.
The Pentagon just lent $620,000,000 to a tiny North Carolina startup called Vulcan Elements. The company is two years old.
It had fewer than 50 employees.
And three months before the deal was announced, Donald Trump Jr.’s venture firm quietly took a stake in it.
Here is the part the administration tried to bury.
Of the dozens of companies the Pentagon was weighing, Vulcan was the only deal initiated by a top White House aide. That aide was Peter Navarro, a close friend of Trump Jr. The order came down to move fast.
One official put it plainly: The call came from the White House. We have to get this done.
Staff worked late nights to push it through in weeks. Deals like this normally take many months of vetting. And when it closed, Vulcan’s valuation jumped from about 200 million dollars to roughly 2 billion.
A windfall for the investors, including the president’s son.
This is public money. Your money.
Routed through the Pentagon to enrich the president’s family and their friends. The Bush administration’s own chief ethics lawyer called it corruption we pay for.
And there is more coming.
A drone parts company Trump Jr. holds a stake in is also under Pentagon review.
This is not a one-off. It is a pattern. The president’s family is treating the federal Treasury like a private bank, and the bill lands on every taxpayer.

A Democrat running for office must provide detailed plans on how to fix every issue while a Republican running for office just need to come up with a nickname for their opponent.
AI was built on your creativity, your tax dollars, and your electric grid.
The profits shouldn't only flow to billionaires.
It's time to tax AI and invest in people.
I can’t believe I have to say this:
The President should not financially benefit from the very government he controls.
I’ve got a bill to stop Trump’s corruption.
People can’t afford food, housing or healthcare.
Americans are getting kidnapped and shot in the streets by masked ICE agents.
Once-controlled diseases are having outbreaks.
Deregulations are poisoning our food, air and water.
This is the “paradise” Trump’s building.
Trump could have presided over a very strong economy. All he had to do was...nothing: Inflation was trending downward, the AI boom was raising growth.
Instead, he engineered a global trade war and energy shock, while shrinking America's labor force. https://t.co/JvvlsQ83R8
