Senate Dems tried to redirect the $1B ballroom money to: - Healthcare - Fighting child exploitation - Counterterrorism Republicans voted no. Nine separate times. Because for MAGA, ballroom > YOU.

So let’s get this straight: Trump sued the IRS. Then used his DOJ to settle with the IRS. Then had the DOJ – which is led by his personal lawyer – sign a deal making his tax returns permanently untouchable. There’s a word for this: CORRUPTION.

This is insane! The U.S already spends more on its military than the next NINE biggest defense-spending countries COMBINED. And now Trump wants to balloon its budget to $1.5 TRILLION. Americans can't afford housing, groceries, or health care, FFS!

57% of Americans said Trump’s policies are making them financially WORSE OFF. It’s not just Trump’s grift and prioritizing of corporate interests above the American people, it’s his illegal & unnecessary war that’s causing gas & grocery prices to skyrocket. We deserve better.

Over half a million people paid $100 for Trump's gold phone. It's been over a year and not a single person has received one. $59 million in deposits to this Trump business, but where did it go? Another scam by the grifter-in-chief?

Trump’s DOJ priced their slush fund at $1.776 billion…1776. How patriotic. 😒 You know what’s not patriotic? Using taxpayer money to pay off your allies and Jan. 6ers that stormed the Capitol. Your tax dollars. Their reward. All grifted in broad daylight.

Ignore the Constitution. Ignore Congress. Ignore courts. Ignore ethics. Ignore struggling Americans. This isn’t America first. It’s Trump first, corruption always, and accountability never.

Trump didn’t fix the economy. He broke it and handed the bill to the working people. Nearly FOUR-YEAR low in economic confidence. 70% of Americans disapprove. Best part? The authoritarian grifter said he doesn’t care…

If only he'd "work very hard" on confronting corporate crime or ending the stupid & unnecessary war he started. 😒

Trump’s EEOC (the commission whose JOB is to prevent discrimination) wants to stop the decades-old practice of collecting data on race and sex in the workplace.. Because discrimination goes POOF when you stop looking for it. Totally.

The Senate Parliamentarian is not supposed to have a political agenda. She simply did her job and followed the rules. That was enough for Trump to demand her head. The alarm bells have been ringing for so long, it’s just background noise at this point!

Trump fired the head of the Office of Government Ethics.. Well over a year later, he has yet to nominate a replacement. The White House isn’t answering questions. This administration doesn’t give a damn about ethics or accountability to the American people.

Gas prices have now topped $4 a gallon. In EVERY. SINGLE. STATE. Why, you ask? Three words: TRUMP’S ILLEGAL WAR. It’s costing you millions a day. It’s crushing small businesses. It’s driving up inflation. And guess what? HE DOESN’T CARE.

The Trump Administration’s new student loan caps could lead to fewer nurses and physicians’ assistants. Healthcare worker shortages in rural and underserved areas are already bad enough, so more Americans will suffer more under this cruel policy. But I hear the ballroom is coming along nicely. 😒

Not only does Trump still insist the assault on democracy on Jan. 6 was "right," he also wants to reward the violent insurrectionists with YOUR tax dollars. Disgusting and unacceptable!

He sold the American people a lie about prioritizing their economic wellbeing. Now, even his own base is starting to see through this corporate-lackey grifter-in-chief.

The Trump admin set up a slush fund with YOUR tax dollars to reward the violent Jan. 6 insurrectionists who attacked the Capitol. This is disgusting and unacceptable!

Trump’s big, bad “solar” policy: Farmers: screwed over. Clean energy initiatives: stalled. Taxpayers: footing the bill. If only those bright red MAGA hats could power something besides the demise of our politics…

So…. It only took two major shutdowns in 6 months for senators to realize how bad it looked for them to keep getting paid while TSA workers suffer… About time.

Gas is over $4.50 a gallon. Inflation is up to 3.8%. Grocery prices are soaring. Americans are pissed off. You’d think the president would try to do something. The problem? He doesn’t care. “Not even a little bit.” 🙃

So…. It only took two major shutdowns in 6 months for senators to realize how bad it looked for them to keep getting paid while TSA workers suffer… About time.

Trump is using an unrelated White House contract to fast-track construction for his vanity Arch project. Which is over a mile away…on National Park Service land…across the Potomac. A former Pentagon official is calling the use of the contract “a real stretch.” You don’t say.

Coal plants would be free to dump toxic heavy metals into rivers and streams so AI data centers can have cheap power. AI tech billionaires and Trump donors are rejoicing. Americans living downstream are suffering, and this would only make things worse. It’s sick and twisted.

Kash Patel is once again ignoring official duties in lieu of personal excursions. New emails show that he went on a "VIP Snorkel" at the Pearl Harbor memorial during an official FBI trip. Seems like Patel only cares about having a good time while he plays FBI Director.

Nothing says “America First” like stomping on the Constitution on the 4th of July by flaunting a gift from a foreign government that our president has illegally accepted. To all the Americans who can’t afford gas or groceries in Trump’s economy, happy 4th of July!

Trump has now announced FIVE major construction projects on public land in DC. How many got proper congressional approval? Zero. How many are tacky, taxpayer-funded vanity projects? All five. Someone call HGTV because this renovation show has totally lost the plot.

Trump dropped his IRS lawsuit, days after reports of a settlement giving Trump $1.7 BILLION to dole out to allies accused of breaking the law during the Biden admin. Those are YOUR taxpayer dollars. We submitted FOIA requests to get to the bottom of this agreement.

Big Tech isn’t just building AI; it’s trying to buy congress. AI companies have already poured over $185 MILLION to boost candidates who are friendly to the industry. Corporate interest shouldn't come before public safety. It's time to end Citizens United.

Oh look! Another one of the Trump Administration’s so-called “anti-fraud” moves that just so happens to cut healthcare funding for vulnerable people. $91 million in Medicaid funding ripped away from Minnesotans. The cruelty of this administration is beyond contempt.

Trump said painting the Lincoln Memorial blue would cost $1.8 million. Now, taxpayers are on the hook for a bizarre, $13.1 million paint job handed out through murky no-bid contracts. We filed FOIAs to drain this pool of corruption & get to the bottom of this reckless project.

An ICE detention contractor made $254 million in profit last year. The detainees doing the labor to keep these facilities running? They make $1 a day. Getting filthy rich off mass detention and forced labor IS the business model.

The Founders of this country, who believed in Separation of Church and State, are rolling in their graves.

Trump's DOJ is reportedly considering settling Trump's $10B IRS lawsuit with a payout & termination of his tax return audits. Trump cannot lawfully demand termination of his audit, & IRS staff must report such an illegal request. It's another attempt to escape accountability.

Unbelievable! Detention centers are exploiting immigrant workers with $1 per day pay. It could take a detainee more than 2 days of work to buy a bar of soap, and more than 3 days to get a can of tuna. Meanwhile, detention center contractors are profiting from this exploitation.

Trump sold the Golden Dome as a $175 missile project. Now, it’s reportedly going to cost taxpayers $1.2 TRILLION. And get this – it may not even work. Our government’s own assessment is that Russia or China could overwhelm it. But we can’t afford universal healthcare. 🙄

Louisiana legislators stayed up all night just to gut Black voters’ political power. Around 4AM, they greenlit a map that advanced racist gerrymandering, weakening the Voting Rights Act. It’s already happening in five states. The clock is ticking -- we need action NOW.

The Not Above the Law Coalition started when Jim Comey was fired, but its work is more relevant now than ever. Our conversation with @publiccitizen.bsky.social's Lisa Gilbert on coming together to protect the rule of law: www.youtube.com/watch?v=2b5l...

There's a backlog of $300m in deferred repairs needed for Olympic National Park ALONE. But the Trump admin is ignoring those projects in order to paint the reflecting pool. This isn't a maintenance issue. It's just another one of Trump's vanity projects.

The Interior Department offered a no bid $13 MILLION contract to Trump's "guy who's unbelievable at doing swimming pools." These contracts are supposed to be used in situations where delay would cause serious harm. Somehow, Burgum thinks painting a pond hits that criteria.

Elon Musk's DOGE crew slashed critical government programs…using ChatGPT keyword searches. Then, unsurprisingly, struggled under oath to explain their own criteria. Buffoonery defines this administration.

Straight from the horse's mouth: Trump doesn't give a damn about working peoples' financial strain or the affordability crisis he caused. He also tore up the Obama deal that prevented Iran from getting nukes.

@microsoft.com is in discussions to scrap its most ambitious clean energy targets. We are rallying tens of thousands of people and dozens of organizations to push back. Will you be one of them? Sign the open letter at MicrosoftLies.com. #GreenSky

In Trump's first admin, he cracked down on flavored vapes. But now, Trump is pressuring the FDA to authorize fruit-flavored vapes for adults. So why the change? Perhaps it's the millions of dollars the vaping industry donated to Trump's inauguration & ballroom project?

In less than two weeks the cost of the Iran war has gone up by $4 BILLION. This illegal war has already cost taxpayers $29 BILLION, and it's not looking like this war will end any time soon. The Pentagon is wasting our hard earned cash on another forever war.

Senate Republicans are trying to waste $1 BILLION of your taxpayer dollars on Donald Trump’s White House ballroom project. In the midst of an affordability crisis, his vanity ballroom will become our financial problem. Using taxpayer dollars to pander to a wannabe-dictator is pathetic.

Or maybe it's that people can't afford to have children in this hellscape of a country.

The FBI is conducting a criminal investigation into a journalist who reported on Kash Patel's alcohol abuse & erratic behavior. Investigating a reporter just because their story isn’t flattering is an outrageous violation of the First Amendment. Our basic constitutional rights are under attack.

Elon Musk's DOGE "blatantly used" race, gender, and other protected characteristics to terminate federal grants, a federal judge found. The judge said those terminations are unlawful and blocked the Trump admin from going through with them. Trump’s regime doesn’t always escape accountability.
