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.

@jimichang32@JaelCorbleu@AlecLace@funsizedspud The $300m Biden made up part of this is still baffling, just made up. The best part of this is that supporters still brag about it’s 1 week completion…..3 weeks in and it’s not even half done. No one asked for it, or demanded a timeline, but it’s clearly not meeting that.
@trickydickpol@douglandry It’s been that large for decades. The organization wants it that big and guests want to attend. Your opinion on its size is irrelevant. It isn’t hosted by the president, on purpose. If it was at the White House, the president would determine the guest list, changing the event.
I almost appreciate how Trump has exposed how vacant every single high profile conservative belief was: free speech, states’ rights, letting the market decide, NATO, right to bear arms, democracy, all of it. It’s been an empty, malicious political project for decades and decades
This killing of Alex Pretti reveals a dark truth about the administration's view of gun rights: they are not universal. They are reserved for the "right" kind of people. If you are a MAGA supporter, your gun is a symbol of freedom. If you are a protester in Minneapolis, your gun is proof of terrorism.
The "right to bear arms" has been replaced by the "privilege to bear arms," contingent on political alignment. This is the hallmark of a militia state, not a constitutional republic.
@TaraBull Or it’s the first photo found that was of her that was verified? And it spread. Also, it doesn’t matter. Your profile picture likely looks absolutely nothing like you when you typed that.
@dalepartridge And he has a national park just across the river that anyone can visit. He doesn’t need a statue in the US Capitol - Arlington House: https://t.co/1ECcx6yzNE
