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.

Remember when Musk challenged the World Food Program to explain how he could solve world hunger with just $6 billion, they did, and he just completely ignored them?

if you want to be celebrated for once in your life, ask your wife for her boyfriend's ketamine. Take a heroic dose. Then jump in a pool. Love from New Hampshire 💖 go bills
@JDVance Sorry but you were the only baby ever worth choosing crack over. Every time your mom neglected you was justified. Sorry. Amy Adams sucked in that movie too, sorry. Nothing you touch ever goes right. You should try some of Elon’s medicine sometime. Sorry.
This sociopath is literally saying, "Yeah, I'm making billions building up a bubble, but that's okay, because when it bursts, the American taxpayers will bail me out, so I can keep making more billions." Hard to even find words for the depravity of these MFers.
Those of you who don't know what authoritarianism looks like...this is it. All the gaslighting about previous presidents "what about...!!! Is bullshit. I've been talking about the slide towards NOW for 30+ years. Those earlier concerns were nothing. Now we are HERE.
Remember when Michelle Obama wanted to make school lunches healthier & conservatives went insane & poured hot lard down their throats because eating garbage was an American right?
Now they’re suddenly *super* worried about what soda is doing to SNAP recipients.
Politics, man.
While all the Districts pay extra for groceries and everyday goods, the White House is excited to announce that the Capitol is creating a grand ballroom for opulent parties!
May the odds be ever in your favor!!!
