Hey media
Not a Platner fan, but why is he a nonstop story and not Ken Paxton's TWENTY indictments by a GOP led-Texas legislature, securities fraud charges and his wife's filing for divorce on "biblical grounds?"
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.

Rep. @AngieCraigMN: Do you know how many farms we lost in the US last year?
Trump's Agriculture Secretary: Uh... I know you were talking about bankruptcies, about 315 farms--
Craig: We lost 15,000 farms. Do you know how much money farmers lost? $28B.
Trump's Agriculture Secretary: Well... It depends on how you calculate that.
I know it’s become pretty cliche and cringey to talk about at this point but if you’re under like 25 I cannot stress enough how one time Obama wore a tan suit and people spent a week arguing over whether or not it was demeaning to the Oval Office and they were serious about it.
So let me get this straight.
Jake Tapper is focused on attacking my Mom.
Jared and Ivanka are building a private island paradise on Albanian protected land.
Don Jr married the daughter of Epstein’s banker, and a startup his fund backs just got a record $620M Pentagon loan.
Eric is taking an Israeli drone company public for $1.5B in the middle of a war with Iran that nobody wanted.
And I know: “But what about your paintings, Hunter?”
Please.
Unlike Obama unfreezing $1.7 billion in Iranian funds held since the 1979 revolution, Trump is offering Iran a $300 billion outright bribe to let him get out of the mess of the war he started so he can claim a victory and move on.
Campos: While I want to thank CBS news for funding this generous gift towards my education, I want to acknowledge how the recent direction of the outlet stains the legacy of Mike Wallace, the namesake of this scholarship.
If at any time you hesitate to utter the word genocide or remain silent in the face of blatant lies, remember to ask yourself: who is this for?
My little brother was molested as a child by a church member and this trauma led him to a substance use disorder that took his life in 2023. Ken Paxton set a man free who did this to another little boy, and republicans will vote for him.
New research: we have studied the wealth of the 200 Californian billionaires and what they effectively pay in tax.
From Mark Zuckerberg (Meta) to Sergei Brin and Larry Page (Alphabet), the results are edifying. 🧵

47 years of living in the south and here’s what I know to be true. If they have a confederate flag on display, they’re doing awful things to kids, pets, and/or spouses. Lots of hate comes with that loser banner.
"There's no way you can write a ten page paper without chatGPT"
WE COULD LITERALLY DO EVERYTHING THAT EVER HAPPENED IN HUMAN HISTORY WITHOUT CHATGPT WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT.
This deep, aggressive slide into anti-intellectualism is so infuriating because we’re not even combatting opposing views with merit anymore, it’s just fully grown adults being defiantly incurious morons.
@WalshFreedom@nytimes As a Jew, I gotta tell you, you should stop talking right now, and you don't know WTF you're talking about. Unless of course you're taking money from Israel... that would make sense in this context.
