Hassett saying they “understand people are hurting” after weeks of brushing off prices is a little late. Calling it temporary doesn’t fill anyone’s tank. People have heard this routine before: pain now, trust us later, no real plan explained. Why should anyone believe them this time?
@atrupar Can’t decide if I should spend more money (I don’t have) at the grocery store to earn points that lowers my gas prices or just deal with gas prices?🤷🏼♀️😬
Hassett: "The gas price story is a serious one. We understand that people are hurting on that. We've taken a number of measures to reduce the disruption, and we expect it to be temporary."
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.
