NEW: A stunning new project from @lawfare's Katherine Pompilio finds that 97 Jan. 6ers who received clemency for their role in the Capitol riot then got arrested, charged, and/or convicted with subsequent crimes—a number much higher than previously reported.
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.

@MarineLayerPod Geeze... get a grip, people. The Mariners are in second place in the AL West, and 2½ games out of first. It's a long-ass season. What team doesn't have issues at this stage of the game? The only thing that counts is showing up when it matters.
Elon Musk's ex-partner, Ashley St. Clair, says he bragged to her about "10,000 lasers in space" and a plan to win the 2024 election with them. Before you share it or dismiss it, read what the voting machines, the security experts, and the evidence actually say.
