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.

WATCH: “The Supreme Court tore that apart — and the fact that Republicans came for MEMPHIS first feels deeply personal because of that city’s Civil Rights history.”

Thank you Williamson County for having me! TN’s new 9th district now spans nearly 200 miles.
From urban communities to rural ones, the political status quo of billionaire-run politics has failed us all. And that’s what I’m running for Congress to change.
