In their first 2 years, the Trump Administration are expected to spend nearly $2 Billion on vanity projects. That could cover #OH09‘s costs for: ⚫ 1 month of Rent ⚫ 1 month of Groceries ⚫ 1 month of ever rising Electric Bills ⚫ 1 year of Medical Care for every veteran . . . with change to spare.

DoorDash spent $1.4M trying to stop Zohran Mamdani from becoming mayor. This week's historic $131.5M enforcement action against DoorDash for underpaying NYC delivery workers shows why. Yet another reminder that the only thing that can beat organized money is organized people.

Just like with the ballroom, another scam by Trump to turn this into a “military complex” to prevent the courts from intervening by using “national security” as his excuse for vanity projects.

Scott Bessent is the living proof of the old joke that the easiest way to become a millionaire is to start with $2M and lose half of it. He turned a $5.7B fund into $537M of value before he transitioned to a job on the government dime.

Target paid its CEO $21.8M last year — 794x the median Target worker's pay of $27,506. Target has also spent $13.9B on stock buybacks since 2019, while remaining among the largest employers of Medicaid and SNAP recipients in America. This is what I mean by a rigged economy.

North Korea is good. Canada is bad. Coal is good. Solar is bad. Measles is good. Vaccination is bad. Child rapists are good. Childcare is bad. Pointless wars are good. Universal healthcare is bad. Anyone supporting the unrelenting chaos of the #GOP deserves zero respect. #RemoveTrump

So just in the last few days russians shot a missile into Moldova, USV-ed Romanian gas platform that supplies EU, planted weapons for assassins in Germany, dug a tunnel under Latvian border, flew a spy plane in Finland airspace and we are still calling it 'hybrid' and keep tossing them visas?

First, the President paid Argentina $20 Billion to send beef here. Now he’s importing another 300,000 metric tons of foreign beef to undercut American cattlemen.

Our servicemembers are trained to do tough things. But they shouldn’t have to ration food because of the incompetence of Pete Hegseth and Donald Trump.

Some seem to think this Natalie Harp thing is just about yet another of Trump’s affairs, but it’s way bigger. The person closest to Trump, with the most control over him, appears to lack even a basic security clearance.

Restarting a charred refining column after a strike does not restore its structural strength. Under extreme pressure, compromised metal poses catastrophic risks. However, verifying structural integrity requires halting production something no russian manager dares to do under Kremlin pressure. 2/
