Amazon is helping fund a $300 million build of a ballroom for the White House.

Independent bookstores are donating to food banks and organizations that help with food insecurity.

They are not the same.

While gaggling with press on AF1 at 2am ET, Trump claimed an anonymous “great US citizen” paid $130M toward the US military salaries amid shutdown.

US DoD annual budget: $170B for active-duty, reserve, and related pay costs

$14B/month or $3.3B/week
~$466M/day
$130M covers 6.7 hrs for 1.3M+ troops

The post from the Reagan Foundation is just complete gibberish.

The ad did not, in fact, misrepresent Reagan's views. But the idea that anyone needs the Reagan Foundation's goddamn permission to use the publicly broadcast official remarks of a former president and/or edit them for brevity is crazy

Imagine being the largest newspaper in Washington, DC with the motto "Democracy Dies in Darkness" and thinking to publish this today.

You might think WaPo editors would look out the window and realize something more important is happening. But perhaps democracy already died over there.

BREAKING: No King's Day numbers are approaching the critical key 3.5%... Political scientists' "3.5% rule" states that no government has EVER held power after 3.5% of voters took to the streets. Let's go!!!

The President of the United States, who is very obviously in poor physical and mental health, just posted a video that makes the infantile nickname "Diarrhea Don" an accurate representation of his political career

The community of #ForestGrove came together to reject a monarchy! I’m so proud of these patriots who gathered to exercise their First Amendment rights. Well done @indivisible.org’s Forest Grove chapter. 💙
