More than half of the companies that donated to Trump's White House ballroom project have collected more than $50 billion in government contracts since writing their checks.
And 16 of the 27 known donors were also facing federal investigations that this administration has since dropped, paused, or scaled back.
This is what pay-to-play looks like at the highest levels of government.
Welcome to Episode 17 of the Corruption Chronicles.
@SecKennedy@DNIGabbard Yes, the American people absolutely do deserve to hear the truth. It’s just unfortunate that @DNIGabbard and @SecKennedy are choosing to spread Russian propaganda.
Yeah! Thanks to President Trump and Republicans in Congress DHS & CBP have the funding to play games with American lives, liberties, and rule of law, while tormenting innocent people who are simply looking for a better life for themselves and their families.
Thanks to President Trump and congressional Republicans' bold action to pass the Secure America Act, Democrats can no longer play games with the livelihoods of America's law enforcement agencies.
@WhiteHouse@DHSgov Yeah! Thanks to President Trump and Republicans in Congress DHS & CBP have the funding to play games with American lives, liberties, and rule of law, while tormenting innocent people who are simply looking for a better life for themselves and their families.
And yet, Elon Musk has used his immense wealth to purchase political influence and manipulate our government infrastructure to further enrich himself with taxpayer dollars. We, the people of the United States, have been exploited to create his enormous wealth.
This Administration has removed the achievements of the Air Force’s first female Thunderbird pilot Retired Colonel Nicole Malachowski. The removal of these articles have sparked criticism because her place in Air Force history is not a Political slogan it’s well documented.
When a majority of members in political party is beset by cowardice, fearing the barbed tongue and lies of a single man, they turn to trickery to avoid telling the truth to their constituents.
Rep. Rob Wittman (R-VA) faked a phone call for roughly 90 seconds after being asked about Speaker Mike Johnson’s comments regarding potential Social Security cuts.
The phone's screen remained visible, with his cheek inadvertently tapping different parts of the display.

@RandPaul A classic straw man fallacy, used to grab the public’s sympathy by putting forth a false narrative. Democrats are refusing to fund ICE and CBP because they have both shown a willingness to circumvent the law and avoid accountability for blatantly illegal acts.
@SenRandPaul This is absolutely ridiculous. Electronic signatures are valid in every state in the U.S., and unless you can prove some nefarious motive in the case of these pardons, you’re just making unsubstantiated allegations with no merit.
@BasedMikeLee Well then, Senator Lee. If citizenship isn’t hard for the federal or state government to confirm, why must the burden of proof be placed on the individual instead of the government. The truth is, there is no need for the SAVE American Act. It’s only aim is voter suppression.
@StephenM As Trump’s propaganda czar, Stephen Miller is known as a man who will lie about anything to maintain his grip on power. He knows no shame. Watch Stephen’s accounts from more manufactured falsehoods.
The Republican Party quietly deleted their own ad attacking Ken Paxton's record on crime... because Paxton is now the Republican Party's nominee to represent Texas in the U.S. Senate.
Figured if the ad is important enough to delete, it's important enough to see...
@jamiejonesmfc Haven’t you heard? A.I. fantasy is the new reality. I hate it too. I yearn to make real connections with real people. That’s how we met. 😘🥰🩷
