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.

@tedlieu@StevePPhill who needs oil…Good news! trump is bring back coal!
in the 1930’s and 40’s there were a few vehicles that ran on coal.. we could just start manufacturing those again!
OMG, trump National Economic Council Director Kevin Hassett is an idiot.
Do you know how long it would take to build an oil pipeline to the Red Sea? YEARS. And that’s with no one shooting at you or launching drones at you.
That’s his solution to the current oil crisis?
Have the clueless, weak and arrogant DOGE bros apologized yet?
They had no idea what they were doing. They harmed Americans. They cut vital programs that protected America.
They also were lazy and made no effort to learn about important programs and functions of government.
This Ebola outbreak has been a slow motion disaster - 900 cases and and now threatening the U.S..
We know how to stop outbreaks like this. But Trump chose not to stop it. He destroyed our global health team, deliberately exposing us.
1/ Here's the story of how this happened.
This is wildly false, and it breeds a dangerous level of ignorance and wishful thinking in the American public. We'd have to make some hard choices (including making some very tough trade-offs) to come close to balancing the budget. Saying anything else is irresponsible.
The opposition tries to build enough popular legitimacy to dislodge the autocrat through political means; the autocrat tries to leverage enough institutional power to retain control even in the face of a disgruntled majority.
Don't look now...

@EricTrump@JDVance America, how long will you endure the spray of such torrents of bullshit?
3700+ trades in Q1 alone. There are two explanations.
1. He's a fool.
2. He has insider information.
Correction: he doesn't have insider information. He is the insider.
It is worth noting that almost 15 months after the military genius Trump told the Ukrainians that they had no “cards”, the Ukrainians hit so many targets around Moscow in one night, the most heavily defended city in Russia, that only a map does it justice.
Russian air defense in yellow and Ukrainian hits in red and Ukrainian drones detected in blue.

Scoop: The top lawyer at the Treasury Department suddenly stepped down on Monday.
Comes in the wake of the Trump admin's $1.776 billion "anti-weaponization fund."
Scott Jennings defends Sean Duffy filming a reality show for 7 months.
Abby Phillip plays a video of Jennings attacking Buttigieg for taking paternity leave.
Phillip: It’s okay to acknowledge when you’re wrong.
Jennings: What was I wrong about?
