Political junky & anti-Fascist/tRumplican. Gay Progressive leaning 2 Green/Socialist. Democrat-Inc. is just Repub-lite; Corporatists with a 'D' instead of 'R'.
More than half of the publicly identified donors to President Trump’s White House ballroom project have won new or expanded federal contracts worth more than $50 billion, according to a report from a government watchdog group. https://t.co/wEAqxMA7AG
Staggering levels of corruption.
They’re using every possible lever of power to enrich themselves and their friends and families.
And the “party of fiscal responsibility” simply doesn’t care.
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.

At least 40 minors gave sworn statements to the FBI that Jeffrey Epstein raped and trafficked them. The line prosecutor wrote an 82-page memo recommending charges.
Alex Acosta declined and signed a non-prosecution deal.
He was later confirmed as Labor Secretary.
This cartoon isn't an exaggeration—not even 1% an exaggeration.
Weeks ago it seemed this far-right Supreme Court would still block any map intentionally authored to be racist.
We just learned that that's no longer true.
We have reentered Jim Crow, and it's a national disgrace.
Meet your new intelligence chief: Bill Pulte, the genius who wanted to bring you the 50-year mortgage.
You remember the 50-year mortgage?
Pulte’s plan to keep you paying off your house until you’re dead, with roughly double the interest, that he reportedly pitched to Trump on a giant posterboard at a golf club. It went over so well that his own White House was “furious” and the whole thing was quietly walked back within weeks.
This is the man Trump just put in charge of the CIA, the NSA, and 16 other intelligence agencies.
A guy with zero intelligence experience, currently under investigation by the congressional watchdog for mishandling sensitive information.
What could possibly go wrong?

🚨 Arkansas State Trooper Michael Austin Kennedy resigned after his wife filed 30+ screenshots of his white supremacist text messages in their divorce case including calling areas “N*GGERLAND” bragging about detained Hispanics as “trophies,” and pushing to repeal the 19th Amendment.
The messages to his wife Alana were packed with racial slurs against Black and Hispanic people, rants blaming “illegal immigrants” and Black people for traffic and crime, and extreme views like banning Muslims from America. One message read: “You don’t f*king hate them enough. The s*t that clogged up [their son’s] toilet is worth more to me than any of them.”
Kennedy also sent selfies posing with detained Hispanic individuals while on duty, calling them his “trophy.”
Alana amended her custody filing seeking sole custody. She stated his beliefs would “poison the minds of the children” and that the kids feared him because of his hate and irrational thoughts.
Kennedy resigned from the Arkansas State Police on May 15 shortly after the messages surfaced. In court papers he acknowledged the language but claimed it was “outdated” and didn’t reflect his values today after therapy and church guidance. Arkansas State Police reviewed his traffic stops and citations and said there was no indication his views affected his job performance.
A man sworn to protect and serve all citizens was privately holding this level of hatred.
What screening or accountability should law enforcement agencies have so white supremacist views like these don’t stay hidden until they surface in divorce court?
1. Real Change PAC, a super PAC that purports to be "committed to progressive values," has spent millions of dollars in Democratic primaries.
It is actually a Republican front closely tied to House Republican leadership.
