Let me tell you what just got reported, because you will not believe it until you see it laid out.
The Trump administration cut a billion-dollar tungsten deal with Kazakhstan. Tungsten is the metal we need for missile warheads, fighter jets, and computer chips. Trump himself got on the phone to close it. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick worked it from the inside, sending letters, leaning on the Kazakh president, lining up as much as $1.6 billion in federal financing.
Within weeks of those negotiations, investors tied to a firm partly owned by Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump took a 20% stake in an entity connected to the very same Kazakhstan project their father was negotiating. Around that same time, Cantor Fitzgerald, the firm run by Lutnick’s own sons, raised $210 million for a partner in the deal and pocketed the fees.
The fathers set the policy. The sons cashed in.
Six days after the Trump sons and their partners moved their money, Lutnick signed the final deal.
The reporting found one or both families have financial ties to at least 14 companies working with the government on critical mining deals.
The total federal funding flowing toward those companies tops $8.9 billion.
This is your tax money.
It is supposed to secure our supply chains and protect our troops, not pad the portfolios of the President’s children and the Commerce Secretary’s children.
This is the most corrupt administration in American history. It is not close.
We must keep digging, and keep asking the questions they do not want asked. Republicans in Congress are unwilling to lift a finger. Mike Johnson is running a protection racket.
Either we will end the corruption, or the corruption will be the end of us.

@spencerpratt Dear God, another washed up reality television personality. I think we all need to turn in our TVs. These people are poisoning this country.
Gov. Mike DeWine on the Mullin v. Doe: "It's a mistake for a number of reasons…You cannot fly into Port-au-Prince…It is clearly not safe…It is worse than it has ever been…It's not in the U.S. interest, certainly not in Ohio's interest, to have people who are working every single day, who are supporting a family, who are buying houses, fixing up old houses, starting businesses, and put deep roots in this country and really are contributing — and yank them out…That is a huge, huge mistake."
@libsoftiktok Isn’t interference with delivering the US mail a federal crime? If it shows up in a mailbox, it must be delivered - throw this guy in jail if he doesn’t deliver the mail.
@ScottPresler Have you ever worked the voter polls during an election ever? If you haven’t, then you don’t have a clue how the system works and how well it works so until you spend time working an election polling place STFU.
Bullshit you ass kissing clown, ask the fake freeloaders in red states outside the great beltway if they support 45 states drivers licenses being dropped as legal ID to Vote, this shit bill isn’t voter ID, it’s voter suppression, if this bill was about voter ID, why does it kill 45 drivers licenses

Who the fuck are you even talking to, moron.
I’m a mother of two, my kids are my world.
They’re not “oppressive”, but you know what IS — a regime of a government that wants to tell ME and my daughter that we have to contend with dying from sepsis before they will let us have an abortion.
That’s oppressive you fucking freak.
