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.

Nobody ever hid that -This is in every textbook. Every model. Every IPCC report. Orbital forcings, ENSO, and volcanoes are the main drivers of *natural* climate change. Nobody ever said otherwise.
The reason scientists aren't worried about those three right now:
• Orbital cycles operate on 23,000–100,000 year timescales
• Volcanoes cause temporary cooling, not warming
• El Niño redistributes existing heat, doesn't create it
When you model all three WITHOUT greenhouse gases, you get slight cooling since 1950. The natural forcings point *away* from warming. That's why the current warming can't be natural they're in every climate model ever built.
@tarkaniang@RubenGallego If you're truly interested in learning names of people affected, the whole Internet is at your disposal, but this may be a good place to start learning more about relevant facts: https://t.co/bKcHFfi1Hf
@RZarUSA@RubenGallego You have access to the entire knowledge of the world at your fingertips and refuse to use it to learn anything. This was as of October, so numbers have only gone up since then: https://t.co/bKcHFfhtRH
@AuthorEula86066@magdurugo Demeter's kids can do that - Trials of Apollo establishes that with Meg. In general, the powers of kids of other demigods get fleshed out a lot more in Heroes of Olympus and Trials of Apollo when there's time to establish more characters.
@caitlin_circuit The new Mask of Fear book really does a great job showing just how tortured Bail is, being the only person in the Senate who knows the truth about Palpatine and having to face the fact that most of the galaxy wouldn't even care if they found out.
@ConcernedApe Are you aware of a bug on Switch where a player using a bomb while playing co-op causes the game to crash? My wife and I have seen it both in online co-op and in local split-screen co-op.
My wife & I have been watching the Tangled animated series, and I just wanna say - partway through the 1st season, that show makes a wild pivot from "happy-go-lucky princess learns to be a royal" to "Rapunzel and a ragtag team take on ancient forces of evil" - And it's incredible
This is the same as when people go, "Hey, remember that hole in the ozone layer? Why does no one talk about that anymore?"
In both cases, people around the world collaborated and solved the issue. That that seems unfathomable today feels like a real bad sign...
I am begging you all to realize that the reason you can joke about Y2K today is because there was a massive mobilization of people who worked their butts off to ensure the kind of things that are happening today didn’t happen when 1999 became 2000.
@UbisoftSupport I was able to resolve this and download the game last night. I haven't had a chance to play yet after the download time, but am looking forward to launching it tonight!
@UbisoftSupport I was excited to play #AssassinsCreedMirage tonight after pre-ordering it from @AskPlayStation back on July 9. But even though the launch date was tonight, when I go to the game in My Collection, it's showing another week left to download. Is this a known issue?
@DrAppletonVCS @sideswipe_boss They explain this somewhat in Rebels when they follow an unknown route to a planet thought to be a legend (there's some ancient technology and myths involved). Basically, when a ship makes a journey, it saves its route in the navcomputer so the route can be followed again.
