@TrystanFalcone @katewelchhhh @TychoBrahe @Hobbitzez @VladimirGluten @krisstraub My daughter was bored after we read Fellowship of the Ring, so we changed some characters to girls. My sketch, her ink and color. We just finished Two Towers changing the names pronouns as I read.

FirstEnergy spent $3.5 million to elect Jon Husted while carrying out the biggest public corruption scheme in Ohio history.

Husted led the push for a billion-dollar taxpayer-funded bailout of the company and now Ohioans are paying thousands more on their utility bills.

The real welfare queen in America is the Walton family, who inherited Walmart, got $93.5 billion richer since Trump’s election, got a $2.9 billion tariff refund that should have gone to their customers & is the #1 employer of workers on food stamps & Medicaid that you subsidize.

[Melanie D'Arrigo @DarrigoMelanie]

Not only did Walmart receive a $2.9B tariff refund after passing that cost onto customers…

But taxpayers pay billions each year subsidizing the wages of their workers — an estimated 468k on Medicaid and 11k on SNAP — because Walmart pays so little.

There’s your “welfare queen”

20-year-old Barron Trump saw his net worth balloon to $150 MILLION thanks to his stake in World Liberty Financial.

Shoutout to daddy's money (and you know, his Presidency and the major conflicts of interest surrounding his crypto schemes!)

[Public Citizen @Public_Citizen]

Trump, the man who has been pushing the Supreme Court to let him overhaul elections and severely limit vote by mail, just voted by mail.

Trump, the man who said "Mail-in ballots are inherently corrupt."

Hypocrite doesn't even begin to describe this authoritarian wanna-be dictator.

[Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley]

Trump has abused his office to boost crypto schemes that have made his family BILLIONS OF DOLLARS. That’s exactly why I wrote the End Crypto Corruption Act—to tackle this kind of blatant corruption.

[Elizabeth Warren @SenWarren]

Would you rather give money to billionaires to help them buy another private jet or lower health care costs for millions of Americans?

Trump picked the billionaires.

@MorePerfectUS I can witness in this trial, without a doubt my children were manipulated to addiction by this and other online media platforms, and there was no help available from anyone.

[More Perfect Union @MorePerfectUS]

Meta begins a California trial this week in a $1.4 trillion lawsuit claiming its platforms are designed to be addictive to children — a case that could constitute a real reckoning for the company.

Meta was also just ordered to pay nearly a billion dollars in New Mexico after being found liable for social media addiction in teens in two separate cases this year.

The Trump admin is planning to spend at least $900 MILLION on White House construction.

That money is coming straight out of your pocket.

While working people struggle to afford rent, Trump is using their money to make his own house even more lavish.

The wanna-be king’s priorities are warped.

[More Perfect Union @MorePerfectUS]

Medicare for All would save Americans as much as $40 trillion over ten years if it was implemented well.

HATCH ACT VIOLATION: We filed a complaint alleging that Todd Blanche violated the Hatch Act by speaking at a NY campaign rally to boost a Republican candidate.

As Attorney General, it's illegal for Blanche to engage in partisan political campaigns.

This must be investigated.

[Robert Reich @RBReich]

Google co-founder Sergey Brin has now pumped over $100M into stopping California's billionaire tax ballot initiative.

So he and his fellow oligarchs can't afford a wealth tax, but they'll spend a fortune buying elections?

[PoliticsGirl @IAmPoliticsGirl]

It’s time we stopped saying, “well, that’s how it’s always been done…”
I don’t think it’s working for us.

BREAKING: SHOCKING CORRUPTION! Trump just turned his crypto company into a BANK, allowing corporations to funnel bribes to him without the public EVER knowing…and putting US on the hook if it fails!
HOW is this legal???

CNBC reports that a federal financial regulator “has conditionally approved an application for a bank charter by an entity connected to World Liberty Financial, a crypto firm partially owned by President Donald Trump’s family.”

This will allow World Liberty to issue stablecoins, a type of cryptocurrency that is backed by safe reserve assets such as U.S. Treasuries and is convertible one-to-one into U.S. dollars – meaning it’s now a factory to take untraceable crypto bribes and launder them through the bank before converting them to cold, hard, cash.

This will, as you can imagine, enable absolutely mind-boggling levels of corruption.

“President Trump is now the first President in history to approve, operate, and supervise his own bank,” said Sen. Elizabeth Warren in a statement after Trump's goons on the OCC rubber-stamped their approval.

“This is the most brazen act of self-dealing our financial system has ever seen — and Congress cannot allow it to stand.”

Congress MUST act immediately and nip this in the bud before it gets off the ground. Trump has already amassed billions in illegal bribes and extortion money, and we cannot allow him to hide his crimes behind a bank’s balance sheet.

[Isaiah Martin @isaiahrmartin]

It’s propaganda

[Robert Reich @RBReich]

Trump has…

-Deleted a key anti-money laundering database
-Pardoned dozens of white collar criminals and fraudsters
-Dropped 150+ investigations into corporate wrongdoing

It’s a “New Golden Age” alright — for corporate and white collar crime.

[Paul Blest @pblest]

This is outrageous. The Trump administration launched an NPSM-7 dragnet against the AFL-CIO and some of the biggest unions in the country under the guise of "domestic terrorism" because some members had the gall to exercise freedom of assembly. Gift link https://t.co/54hPZzIlI9

[Public Citizen @Public_Citizen]

ICE has almost $100 BILLION in unused funds to terrorize our communities.

Meanwhile, the Trump admin couldn't find enough money to fund SNAP or health care.

What a disgrace.
