Ken Paxton is the most corrupt politician in America.
He embodies the broken system we’re running against.
It’s time to come together: The People vs. Ken Paxton
REP. BACON: We're pulling an armor brigade out of Poland. This is foolish, and it sends a terrible message to Russia and to our allies. Poland was blindsided. This is an embarrassment to our country, the way this is being handled. This is a slap in the face to our NATO allies.
BREAKING🚨 Senate Republicans just slipped $1 BILLION in taxpayer money into an immigration bill to fund Trump's personal White House ballroom — and they're trying to pass it before anyone notices.
Here's what they actually did.
Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley released draft language yesterday for the Republican reconciliation bill — a massive immigration and border security package that can't be blocked by a Democratic filibuster.
Buried inside that bill is $1 billion in taxpayer funding for the Secret Service to make "security adjustments and upgrades" to Trump's White House ballroom.
Not for border security. Not for ICE agents. For a ballroom.
The ballroom Trump has been building on the White House grounds since 2025 — a project that was supposed to be privately funded by Trump's donors — is now getting $1 billion from American taxpayers.
The funding would cover "above-ground and below-ground security features," according to the bill language. Translation: They're billing taxpayers $1 billion to build a private event space for Trump to host fundraisers and state dinners.
And they tucked it into an immigration bill so they could claim it's about "national security."
Here's the excuse Republicans are using.
After a third assassination attempt on Trump at the White House Correspondents' Dinner last month, the Secret Service recommended enhanced security measures for Trump's public appearances. Republicans are arguing the new ballroom reduces security risks because Trump can control and secure it instead of renting hotels.
But the ballroom was already being built before the assassination attempt. Trump announced the project in 2025. The attack didn't create the ballroom — it just gave Republicans an excuse to bill taxpayers for it.
And $1 billion is an obscene amount of money for a ballroom.
The entire Secret Service budget for 2025 was $3.6 billion. Trump is asking for nearly one-third of the Secret Service's annual budget to secure a single building that will be used for private events.
The White House Historical Association renovated the entire East Wing in 2021 for $25 million. The West Wing renovation under Obama cost $86 million. Trump's ballroom is getting $1 billion.
Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer slammed the proposal: "Republicans are using an immigration bill to funnel a billion taxpayer dollars into Trump's personal vanity project while families are struggling to afford groceries."
And here's the part that makes this even more corrupt.
The ballroom isn't just for state functions. Trump has already announced plans to rent it out for private events — weddings, corporate galas, fundraisers — at premium rates.
So taxpayers are funding the construction of a billion-dollar event space that Trump will then charge people to use. That's not security. That's a taxpayer-funded business investment for Trump's personal financial gain.
Republicans are trying to pass it through reconciliation — a budget process that only requires 50 votes in the Senate instead of 60 — so Democrats can't filibuster it. If this bill passes, Trump gets $1 billion for his ballroom without a single Democratic vote.
Bloomberg News broke the story yesterday. CNN confirmed it this morning. Democrats are now scrambling to strip the ballroom funding out before it hits the Senate floor.
But because it's part of a reconciliation package, Republicans control the amendment process. They can block Democratic amendments and force a vote on the bill as-is.
Share this everywhere so people know what's happening.
Senate Republicans just tried to quietly funnel $1 billion in taxpayer money to Trump's personal ballroom by hiding it in an immigration bill.
That's corruption dressed up as national security.
We have to stop making stupid people millionaires when this is how they spend their money. I'm done. Krassensteins have had serious allegations of fraud and an FBI investigation into their practices. They are frauds. There's no doubt now. They rail against Elon and buy the stupidest Tesla ever made. Everytime you like and repost their shit, they make money. Think twice next time you promote their propaganda.
Dude, seriously!!
How is anyone supposed to take you seriously in future posts critiquing and speaking out against the regime and the hierarchy when you just basically 🖕 🖕 to everyone who follows you.
I get it, you have over a million dollars, so you probably don't give a fuck, but you just revealed yourself to be the biggest two faced fraud on this platform @krassenstein
And even worse, you used your family as an excuse to show the entire X-verse that you'll flip sides to save the "atmosphere." Get the fuck outta here.
I've never seen anyone speak out against Elon more than you, and then for you to buy his truck — yeah, you just slapped your one million followers in the fucking face.

Hey MAGA….
Have you gotten your $5000. DOGE check yet?
How about the $2,800 tariff rebate check?
Are you paying less than $2.00 a gallon for gas?
How about the cost of electricity, natural gas, and groceries?
Fucking idiots.
We warned you.
a very confused Trump: "I could with one swipe of the pen say, 'Let's have no employment,' and I'll hire a million people or two million people and we'll have absolutely no employment."
@TheCejrowski Twoje narracje wokół Trumpa były oparte na manipulacji i ignorowaniu rzeczywistości.
Z zapałem powtarzałeś bzdury o pomarańczowym zbawicielu, że ma w kieszeni plan naprawy świata, a ty po prostu wiedziałeś, że na tej bajce da się świetnie zarobić.
Teraz się nie tłumacz‼️
This is insane, the account on the top has 12+ thousand followers, the MAGA account on the bottom has 100 followers👀
This platform is officially a far-right echo chamber amplified by its rigged algorithms.
We are completely silenced on this platform, again. All the Ukraine supporting accounts & critics of MAGA cult are hushed by the X algorithm.
But have no fear my fellow resisters, it’s also a sign that they are scared of us, that’s why they want to silence us.
Keep fighting👊
