BREAKING: Trump announces mysterious foreign beef “deal” to slash prices – then REFUSES to say who he made the deal with!
Donald Trump says he has struck a deal to bring hundreds of thousands of tons of cheaper foreign beef into the United States.
There’s just one rather important detail he won’t tell Americans: Who exactly did he make this deal with?
A reporter caught Trump on the tarmac yesterday and asked the obvious question: “On that beef deal, which countries did you make that deal with?”
Trump seemed to need a reminder. “What deal?”
“The beef deal,” the exasperated reporter repeated.
“I don’t want to say which countries, but there are a few countries,” Trump replied, before assuring Americans that whoever these mystery suppliers are, “they’re going to be sending in the highest quality beef.”
What kind of bull is that?
The “deal” comes after Trump announced that the United States will allow up to 300,000 metric tons of foreign ground beef product into the country over the next 90 days without the higher tariffs that would normally apply.
Trump says he has a “commitment” from foreign exporters that the beef will be sold 25 percent below current market prices. The White House has not named any suppliers nor explained how that 25 percent discount will be enforced once the beef reaches American consumers.
American ranchers, meanwhile, are furious.
The National Cattlemen’s Beef Association warned that flooding the market with below-market foreign beef will hurt American producers and make it harder to rebuild the nation’s depleted cattle herd. Republican senators from cattle-producing states are complaining, too.
So Trump has managed to turn his signature America First principle completely on its head. With beef prices hammering American families, his solution is to remove a tariff and bring in cheaper foreign beef to compete with American ranchers – the very people his trade policies are supposedly designed to “protect”!
And there’s a good reason he’s suddenly scrambling. Ground beef averaged $6.89 a pound in July, with grocery prices a dangerous political problem heading into the midterms.
The “America First” president is trying to bring down grocery prices by removing tariffs and bringing in cheaper foreign goods to compete with American producers.
Trump says this mysterious deal will help consumers. American cattlemen say it will hurt them. And the president won’t even tell Americans which countries are supplying the beef.
And that may be the real lesson in Trump’s latest “deal.”
“America First” only applies until putting Americans first becomes politically inconvenient. The moment that sky-high beef prices became a problem for Trump, the American ranchers he promised to protect became expendable, and cheaper foreign beef suddenly became an answer.
If you’re going to bring 660 million pounds of foreign beef into the United States and call it a great deal for America, “I don’t want to say” where it’s coming from is one hell of an ingredient on the label.
Support Democratic candidates in the midterms. We will no longer be cowed.
BREAKING: A federal judge DEMANDS to know why the MAGA-controlled Kennedy Center Board has kept the building's facade covered by an ugly tarp for over two months now.
We all know the real reason...
“It has become clear that Defendants are maintaining scaffolding and a tarp to cover the Kennedy Center’s facade to frustrate the intent of the Court’s order that the Center be returned to a memorial exclusively honoring President Kennedy,” stated Congresswoman Joyce Beatty.
Meanwhile, the explanation provided to U.S. District Judge Christopher Cooper by Trump's lackeys was exactly as unconvincing as you'd expect—
“Water testing and structural repairs to the roof overhang of the Center’s front portico require the use of a scaffolding system, including a protective covering—a tarp—around that scaffolding,” Department of Justice attorneys insisted to the court when asked.
But Beatty, who sued over the attempts to remake the center in Trump's image, is calling BS. She says that the real purpose of the tarp is to “hide their embarrassment" after they were court-ordered to remove Trump's name.
President John F. Kennedy's name has been restored and once that tarp comes down, social media will be flooded with triumphant photographs rubbing the defeat in Trump's face. He can't stand the thought of such widespread mockery.
Beatty's attorneys pointed out that other parts of the building are not covered up. Only the facade, which is where the building's name is mounted, remains covered. The administration isn't even bothering to gin up plausible deniability here.
“Defendants tellingly have not done so for months, leaving only the Center’s iconic name obscured—a strong indication that this structure has nothing to do with the roof and is, instead, meant to defy a return to the status quo,” the lawyers wrote.
Last week, the Kennedy Center Board attempted to bypass the order to remove Trump's name by voting to add an inscription to the facade that would read beneath its official name “Restored and Renovated by President Donald J. Trump." They also voted to rename the center’s grounds to the “President Donald J. Trump Plaza.”
Beatty called the move an act of "naked defiance" to the court's ruling.
“This latest development is a transparent effort to circumvent the Court’s ruling, and flies in the face of the statutes that Congress passed,” she said. “I will continue to fight for this treasured national monument.”

BREAKING: MONSTER! Ron DeSantis’ handpicked court official arrested after alleged MOLESTATION of child under 5.
Michael Caruso — Governor Ron DeSantis's handpicked choice to oversee Palm Beach County's court system and $80 million budget — was arrested Tuesday on charges including child molestation, kidnapping, luring a minor, and lewd exhibition. The victim, according to sources, was a boy under 5 years old.
The allegations are horrifying. According to the arrest affidavit, Caruso exposed himself to the child while playing soccer, later touched the boy inappropriately during a game he called "tickle monster," exposed himself again and assaulted the child on a cruise ship, and molested him a third time during a fishing trip. The abuse only came to light after the boy began acting out sexually at home, prompting his parents to alert law enforcement.
This is not the first time Caruso has faced allegations like this. His first wife, Beverly Caruso, accused him of sexually assaulting a child during their 2013 divorce proceedings — an allegation Caruso dismissed as fabricated.
Records show Delray Beach police investigated a related child abuse complaint against him in 2012, though the case was ultimately deemed unfounded. Their divorce records also reveal a documented pattern of volatility, including a 2009 incident where Caruso allegedly drove drunk and screamed at Beverly, "I want to make you suffer," and a 2012 incident where he sought a restraining order against her that a judge rejected after a witness disputed his account.
Despite this troubling history, DeSantis called Caruso a "legend" for backing him on immigration legislation and appointed him Palm Beach County Clerk of Courts just last August — a powerful $219,000-a-year position overseeing 670 employees. DeSantis has now suspended Caruso following his arrest, but the deeper question is why someone with this documented pattern was ever handed that much public trust and authority in the first place.
Making matters more uncomfortable, Caruso's current wife holds not one but TWO DeSantis-appointed positions, with a third pending state Senate approval — raising serious questions about how deeply this family had embedded itself into Florida's political power structure.
Attorney General James Uthmeier said, "Being in a position of public trust provides no shield from accountability." That's true. But accountability shouldn't only arrive after a child has already been harmed. It should start with actually vetting who gets handed that trust in the first place.
Given that Caruso supported the death penalty for pedophiles when he was a Florida legislator, it will be interesting to see how his lawyers handle this case.

BREAKING: ON FIRE! The chef exposing dirty Republican secrets alleges that MAGA Senator Bernie Moreno is a "homosexual" who's into "leather" and pays for sex workers — and that's how he's been blackmailed.
He's not just spilling the beans, he's unleashing an avalanche...
"Ok, I’ll expose it @berniemoreno so your ex son in law, who is a monster, can shut his abusive narcissistic face up, and there is no blackmail: You are a homosexual," wrote Chef Joe Gera.
He was responding to a clip in which Republican Congressman Max Miller went on CNN and threatened Moreno with "exposing a deeply and personal embarrassing matter" after Moreno called for him to resign.
Moreno is the father of Miller's ex-wife, who has accused Miller of physically abusing her, pouring scalding water on her, and breaking their 2-year-old daughter's collarbone. For a long time, Moreno was silent about the allegations but recently he mustered up the spine to speak out. His failure to defend his child sooner led many to speculate that Miller had blackmail material on him, especially since there are long-simmering rumors that Moreno is gay.
"You realized this when you were late in life, and thats ok," Chef Gera continued. "Your son in law is a violent abusive narcissist, who will continue to hurt your granddaughter and your daughter. You also like leather according to my friend “jen” who runs a ‘service’ (“Jen” is a pseudonym for a sex worker friend of mine that handles these things)"
"Dear @berniemoreno do NOT bow down to this abusive, violent, cowardly piece of human shit," Gera added. "We know, it’s fine, defend your daughter and your granddaughter, fuck this guy. Yes, you’ve got some weird sexual shift, everyone in the DC sex worker community knows, it’s FINE. Be an honorable man, don’t be afraid of this piece of shit."
We commend Chef Gera for speaking out. He has already claimed that Rand Paul received the COVID-19 vaccine to attend fancy events despite his attacks on Dr. Fauci and has also alleged that his busboy witnessed Senator Josh Hawley kissing a male escort.
This man is deeply embedded in Washington D.C. circles and has been collecting secrets for years. We're thrilled that he's finally pulling back the curtain on these MAGA hypocrites and liars!

BREAKING: HOLY SH*T! Trump has used up "virtually all" of America's crucial long-range missiles in his pointless war against Iran — leaving us profoundly weakened as a superpower.
The "Israel First" President just handed China and Russia a historic gift...
According to a bombshell report from Reuters, the U.S. Army has "used up much of its stockpile of highly accurate long-range missiles during its five-month war with Iran," a stunning fact that was exposed by "three people familiar with the data."
The loss of these weapons means that the United States is now far less ready to engage in future conflicts against near-peer rivals or ascendant multipolar juggernauts like China.
The expended missiles were primarily Army Tactical Missile Systems (ATACMS) and Precision Strike Missiles (PrSM) — which cost close to $1 million of your tax dollars apiece — and "virtually all" of them are now gone.
And what has the United States gained by burning through these precious weapons? Innocent children are dead, Iran now exerts direct control over the Strait of Hormuz, and Americans are paying more for gas and groceries. Trump has delivered an astounding military defeat and deeply weakened the United States in the process.
Future historians will look back on this war as an act of profound national self-destruction. The U.S. never stood to gain anything. None of our national interests were at stake and Iran was not pursuing nuclear weapons. Trump started this war because Israel wanted to destroy a regional adversary to make their territorial expansion dreams into Lebanon and beyond a reality.
As if that weren't bad enough, Reuters also reports that the loss of these missiles means that Trump "may have to rely more on riskier, piloted bombing missions" against Iran, meaning putting American pilots in danger. We've already lost too many brave service men and women to this pointless war. Unless Trump backs off, we may soon lose even more.

BREAKING: MIC DROP! Democratic socialist candidate Francesca Hong DESTROYS her MAGA critics for smearing her as a "radical" by listing all of the truly "radical" things that Republicans push.
She put on an absolute clinic in political messaging...
“What’s radical is that we still have a $7.25 minimum wage. What’s radical is that Tom Tiffany is an election denier. What is radical is the fact that folks all across Wisconsin, many don’t have access to health care right now,” Hong said, after she was asked on NewsNation about her Republican opponent calling her “a radical trans activist."
Hong is running for the Wisconsin governorship, with her candidacy buoyed by rising support for democratic socialists across the country. Voters are fed up with Republican incompetence and criminality, but they're also tired of status quo, centrist, corporatist Democrats. Hong currently has a double-digit lead in the Democratic primary.
“Being able to make sure folks have what they need, when they need them from the state, is something that I believe many Wisconsinites have actually been telling me, that these are the things that they want to prioritize,” added Hong.
This is exactly the kind of messaging that Democrats should embrace. Republicans are trying to turn these upcoming elections into a referendum on "communism" to distract from Donald Trump's failed presidency and their own deranged radicalism.
The Republican Party is responsible for the most corrupt White House in American history. Its views on abortion rights and LGBTQ rights are profoundly out of step with the average voter. They are a pro-rapist, pro-pedophilia party as proven by their ongoing role in the Epstein coverup. They are the "Israel First" party and are funding this illegal war against Iran for the benefit of a foreign country. They want to make us all poorer and sicker by keeping wages depressed to benefit corporations while slashing Medicare and Medicaid.
Meanwhile, democratic socialists like Hong support free school meals, universal childcare, paid family leave, boosting education spending, raising the minimum wage, creating affordable housing, abolishing ICE, and pursuing moratoriums on AI data centers.
Those ideas only seem "radical" if you've been brainwashed by Fox News and Republican lies!

BREAKING: "F*ck his sons, f*ck his daughter!" Hunter Biden unleashes an anti-Trump family rant for the ages and we loved every single second of it!
This is what we've been dying for Democrats to say...
"As it relates to Donald Trump, fuck him, fuck his sons, fuck his daughter. I mean it, all of them, the whole family, down to the grandchildren," said Hunter. "I hope for the rest of time that I am on this earth that their names will live in ignominy. "
"And so and by the way, here's the thing, like, 'Oh, this is going to get clipped, and this is going to be the thing.' And you know, you go out there, but let me just tell you something.... What would you expect me to say?" he asked.
"What would you expect me to say about a man that treats my father that way, publicly?"
"What would you expect me to say about a man that treats my mother that way, that treats my sister that way? They stole her fucking diary and published it, said my dad is a pedophile!" he continued. "They were involved in that directly."
"What would you expect me to say about a group of people that have the capacity and the capability to do that?" asked Hunter. "They may think, oh, all is fair in love and war and politics, and you know, like, you know, well, this is how you get power."
"Well, you know what? Fuck them, and fuck that! They have done the most awful things to my family, and to me personally. Forget about me, though. I can take it," he concluded.
God, but isn't this refreshing? We are so used to our politicians sanitizing their language when talking about Trump, an adjudicated rapist, actual pedophile, and war criminal. Hunter is no politician though, he's just a righteously enraged American putting all of our thoughts and feelings into words.
And you know what? Sometimes a little profanity is appropriate.
Republicans threw every smear in the book at President Biden and his family, ranting about their "crime family." Now, we have an actual crime family in the White House looting everything that isn't nailed down, and it's crickets from conservatives.
So yes, it's time to drop the civility act and hit these crooks with everything we've got. And then, when we retake power, Democrats need to launch the most sweeping criminal investigation in history into Trump and his crooked family. Track down every last embezzled dollar and hit them with prosecutions until their eyes water.
LOCK. THEM. UP.

BREAKING: A chef EXPOSES Rand Paul for lying about Dr. Fauci and COVID vaccines by revealing that the MAGA senator was himself vaccinated — and guess how he knows?
These Republicans think that their voters are dumb as dirt...
"You were vaccinated. Multiple times. How do I know? Because I cooked an event you attended in early 2022," Chef Joe Gera alleged on X. "The venue’s policy was: if you wanted to attend unmasked, you had to be vaccinated (this didn’t stop until April that year at this venue)."
"You also had to RSVP well in advance and provide a negative COVID test before the event. So if you were there, you met those requirements. But by all means, keep bullshitting," he added.
Gera was responding to a post in which Paul wrote: "Remember: Anthony Fauci was all about 'following the science,' until it came to vaccines. He was all about forcing you into compliance, even though we all knew infection was the best protection."
If we "all knew" that infection was a better hedge against the coronavirus than the vaccines (it wasn't), then why did you get vaccinated, Rand?
It couldn't possibly be that you recognize the value and efficacy of the vaccines but are pandering to ignorant conspiracy theories for political gain, right? That would be deeply immoral, spineless even!
This is the same Rand Paul who said that he wants to prosecute Fauci for his imagined crimes and who exposed the doctor's personal diary to the entire world. This is political theater of the lowest sort, and this so-called senator should be ashamed of himself.
"I waited almost a day to do this because A, I’m busy, B have a stress fracture in my foot. But your continued bullshit about this is beyond insane," Chef Gera added in a follow-up post.

BREAKING: Fox News PANICS and abruptly ends a segment after the guest bluntly called Trump a "pedophile president" in front of millions of MAGA viewers.
You just know that Trump was seething in front of his TV...
"Fox News wrapped this segment REAL quick," wrote progressive star Krystal Ball of "Breaking Points," highlighting the segment.
And the clip itself is absolutely brutal.
"What, what is the number that is fine with you? Is there, is there a benchmark? Is it fine? How many children can be raped and it's fine if you're in relation to the immigration community?" said Fox's Trace Gallagher, pushing that same reheated Republican lie that the people targeted by Trump's immigration crackdowns are all rapists.
In reality, ICE is tearing apart innocent families and prioritizing noncriminals at the expense of pursuing actual predators. Not only that, but ICE itself is riddled with rapists and sexual abuse is exploding inside detention facilities. By any honest metric, this is the most pro-rape administration in modern American history.
"If we're going to talk about children being raped, then we need to hold this pedophile president Donald Trump accountable," said Oliver Larkin, a Democrat running for Congress in Florida. "And all those that have been implicated by the Epstein files that the Department of Justice is still not leaking."
"Right, we see," said Gallagher, trying to interrupt him while shaking his head.
"And they've sent AIPAC after Thomas Massie for having the temerity to hold accountable the pedophiles that are in control of our government," said Larkin, undeterred.
"Got it. Mr. Larkin, thank you. We appreciate your time, very much," said Gallagher, quickly ending the segment.
This is what happens when you hold these cowards' feet to the fire. They squirm and flee. Fox News can't admit that Trump is a pedophile because their viewers would simply switch to a different right-wing channel willing to flatter their delusions.
We don't have to listen to these freaks lecture us about imagined Mexican rapists. We can point to the actual rapist in the White House and shame them into silence every time.
Please ❤️ and share to thank Larkin for popping their bubble!
Of course. Here’s what happened: Bondi wouldn’t indict Comey again. Then, she got fired (for all kinds of reasons). Blanche couldn’t indict right away (too obvious), so he waits a few months and says evidence came in - a year after Comey posted the photo. This will get thrown out.

BREAKING: HOLY SH*T! Gavin Newsom reveals that Trump is sending federal agents after his family and friends and launching a sham investigation into him — and he's responding with bold defiance!
We've just entered truly uncharted territory...
"Today, my wife & I joined Donald Trump’s hit list," the governor wrote on X. "He has directed his Department of Justice to investigate us. They have not found a crime - they are simply trying to find one."
"He isn't coming after me because of mean tweets, but because I am considering running for President," Newsom continued. "He hates that I consistently call him out. He is simply the most corrupt President in American history."
"We have nothing to hide Mr. President, come after me. I am not going anywhere. The country is watching," he added.
In a video shared in the same post, Newsom explained that over the past few days, "federal agents have knocked on the doors of family, friends, and former employees."
"Not because they found a crime, because they're simply trying to find one. They're demanding records," he said. "They're abusing the grand jury process, digging through years and years of random documents."
Newsom slammed Trump for turning the "levers of government" into "his own personal power ministries to reward cronies and to try to jail his opponents." He pointed to the fact that Todd Blanche, a former personal attorney of Trump's, is now heading the Justice Department as clear evidence of the corruption.
And we couldn't agree more. The Justice Department was once a firewalled institution, kept separate and independent from the Oval Office despite technically being a part of the Executive Branch. Under Trump, that independence has been totally stripped away and the DOJ has been transformed into a weapon of political retribution. One need look no further than the manufactured investigations into James Comey, Letitia James, and Adam Schiff for proof of that.
"He sent them after Tim Walz," continued Newsom. "And a woman that a jury found Donald Trump had sexually abused. One by one, anyone who has challenged Donald Trump has ended up on his hit list."
"And today, I proudly join that list," he went on. "After calling for my arrest last year, Donald Trump directed his Department of Justice to investigate me. And just in the last week, I've learned that his campaign has reached my own home."
"To get me, he's coming after my wife, Jen. A public servant. A woman who's dedicated her life to supporting women and girls," said Newsom. "Someone who has done nothing wrong other than having the temerity to advocate for what she believes in. If they can't intimidate me, they'll go after the mother of our children."
"Donald Trump picked the wrong target."
"We have nothing to hide. His political operatives can take every record and read every page. But they'll be looking in the wrong place."
"Because if they really want to find corruption, look no further than 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. Donald Trump is selling the presidency. He's running the largest cash heist in American political history," Newsom said. "Trading foreign tariff relief for approval of his golf courses. Day trading behind the Resolute desk. Reaping hundreds of millions of dollars in personal profit."
"And he's doing it openly. He's doing it on camera. He did it last night on the White House lawn," he continued. "He's doing it through cryptocurrencies. He's doing it through the receipt of a $400 million private jet from a foreign government that he plans to keep when he leaves office. Through his son's ventures in countries where his own administration is simultaneously making policy."
"His personal fortune has skyrocketed by $4 billion since making his return to office. This is the behavior of a regime, not a republic. The White House has become a marketplace. A marketplace for sneakers and coins and watches, cologne, guitars, Bibles and phones. Influence for sale. Access for sale."
"And today, my family and I can personally confirm that justice is for sale. To Donald Trump, who I know is watching because he watches everything. I have a message for you..." said Newsom.
"You can subpoena my records."
"You can investigate me."
"You can harass me."
"Put my name on every and any enemies list you have. Leave my wife and family out of your personal vendetta. I'd like to say something to my wife," he went on. "These times are not normal. They're not ordinary. I love you. And I'm sorry he's doing this. You have not earned a single one of the indignities that he's trying to inflict on you and our children."
"And to Donald Trump, this country does not belong to you. It does not belong to your cronies. And we're going to fight your lawlessness. And we're going to continue to remind the people of this country of your corruption. That same corruption our founders warned us against as we moved to celebrate our 250th anniversary."
"I'm going to keep reminding Americans of what they warned would happen if a man with no character ever held the office of presidency. So let me say it again..."
"Mr. President, come after me. I'm not going anywhere. And the country is watching," Newsom concluded.
This is what fighter sounds like. This is what Democrats need right now. We stand with Gavin Newsom!

BREAKING: RETALIATION! After losing to E. Jean Carroll twice, Donald Trump is now using the DOJ to settle the score
A jury found Donald Trump liable for sexually abusing E. Jean Carroll. Another jury ordered him to pay her $83 million for defaming her when he called her a liar. The Supreme Court has deferred deciding whether to hear his appeal twelve times.
So naturally, his Justice Department has launched a criminal investigation into her.
CNN reports that the DOJ is investigating whether Carroll, now 82 years old, committed perjury in her 2022 deposition when she said she had received no outside funding for her lawsuit — before it was later revealed that billionaire Reid Hoffman had paid some legal fees through a nonprofit. The trial judge reviewed the issue at the time, found no problem with Carroll's credibility, and blocked Trump's lawyers from pursuing it further.
That was apparently not the answer Trump wanted.
So, Todd Blanche — Trump's personal criminal defense attorney, now running the Justice Department — referred the investigation to federal prosecutors in Chicago. The only reason it landed in Chicago rather than New York, where the deposition occurred, is that Hoffman's nonprofit is based there.
Blanche has been recused from this particular case because he personally worked on Trump's Carroll appeals. But the rest of the department he runs is carrying it forward on Trump's behalf anyway.
This is the same Justice Department that dropped charges against a billionaire who allegedly bribed Indian officials after his lawyer offered a $10 billion investment. The same department that created a $1.776 billion slush fund for January 6th insurrectionists. The same department that launched a vindictive prosecution of James Comey that career lawyers refused to touch.
Carroll's lawyers said she never met nor communicated with anyone at Hoffman's nonprofit. The trial judge saw no credibility issue. The case proceeded, and Trump lost twice, by enormous margins, before two separate juries.
None of that matters to this administration. What matters is that E. Jean Carroll beat Donald Trump in court, and Donald Trump does not forget.
This is not law enforcement. This is retaliation with a badge.
The Supreme Court has now deferred Trump's appeal in the Carroll case twelve times. His DOJ is trying to criminalize her for winning.

BREAKING: HELL YES! New York Assemblymember Alex Bores introduces legislation for the state to seize 100% of every dollar from Trump's illegal slush fund that New Yorkers try to claim.
This is how we fight back against this corruption...
"I just introduced the Anti-Insurrectionist Act in NY. It's simple: If you're a New Yorker who takes from Trump's illegal January 6th slush fund, NY will tax 100% of it," Bores wrote on X.
It's a novel approach to a novel problem. Trump is stealing our tax dollars and using them to pay off the MAGA lunatics who stormed our capital and tried to overturn our democracy. Worse yet, bribing them in this fashion incentivizes them to support an insurrection in the future if Trump decides to launch another.
"Trump just created a $1.8 billion slush fund to pay off January 6th insurrectionists using your tax dollars," Bores stated in a video announcing his bill. "No congressional approval, no oversight, just pure corruption. A slush fund created by a lawless President for his insurrectionist followers."
"Today I introduce the New York Anti-Insurrectionist Act. This bill would create a 100% state income tax on any New Yorker who collects from this fund," he continued. "It's simple, if you're a New Yorker and you take from this illegal slush fund, New York State will tax 100% of it."
"If you storm the Capitol and you take from the slush fund, too bad, we're taking it. I'm Alex Bores, New York State Legislator, running for Congress to take on Trump in DC," he concluded.
While it's unclear how this bill would fair in court if passed and signed into law, it is EXACTLY the kind of tactic that Democrats need to be deploying at every level of government. The only way to stop this all-out fascist assault on our country is to fight Trumpism with every tool in our arsenal. We need a strategy of maximum legal warfare. Hit them from so many angles that they don't know which way is up!
Just imagine, if states seize the slush fund money, your tax dollars could be spent on roads, education, and housing instead of wasted on yachts for sex offenders in MAGA hats.
