Here we go America
Now trump says his Epstein Ballroom will cost over $300 plus million
Of course after he lied to everyone that the East Wing would remain

ALL HE DOES IS LIE

And who believes the $300 million will only keep going up and up ...the GRIFT

Who’s paying for Trump’s $300 million ballroom?

The president has maintained that the multi-million-dollar project will be paid by private donations — and not by taxpayers.

ICE murdered a family’s dog & lied about it.
Agents raided a home on a bad tip, shot a dog named Chop, & let him bleed out while they hid. DHS covered it up. Congress stayed silent.
This is what happens when no one’s watching the watchers. I’m done with the silence.

The obvious $130M bribe paid directly to Donald aside, he's conspicuously hiding both of his hands now.

Trump: "By the way, a friend of mine called us the other day and he said 'I'd like to contribute any shortfall you have because of the Democrat shutdown. I'd like to contribute any shortfall you have with the military.' Today, he sent us a check for $130 million. It's gonna go the military."

🧵NC State Reps have passed a blatantly racist GOP gerrymander aimed at diluting the power of Black voters in NC's 1st Congressional District, currently represented by Rep Don Davis, a Black man and former Air Force Captain. #ncpol #NCGA

Republicans are making one of the most gerrymandered states in the nation even more rigged

North Carolina Republicans just passed a new Trump-inspired congressional map to oust a Black Democrat.

It’s really sick how this piece of garbage gets away with calling every black person he doesn’t like “low IQ” with just no scrutiny.

Every. Single. One.

NBC News finds that:
-- ICE has shortened its training from 13 weeks to six.
-- Nearly half of recruits couldn’t pass an open-book written exam.
-- Recruits "are supposed to attest" they can pass the physical-fitness test, which requires them to run ... 6 mph.

Some new ICE recruits have shown up to training without full vetting

The recruits have had criminal backgrounds or failed drug tests or were unable to meet physical or academic standards, raising concerns about the agency’s rush to hire immigration officers, sources to...

Merkley: "What we've seen is that democracies no longer die bc men w/guns go in and take it over. Instead, it's electeds who erode the separation of power. If you have a rubber-stamp Congress & courts that deliver more power to the executive, suddenly you have an authoritarian state. It's here now."

I have to stress how highly unusual it is for the most powerful military on the planet to be blowing up random boats in international waters.

I can’t help but feel that several criminal charges will ultimately come from these strikes.

It makes far more sense to interdict them.

Wasn't expecting this, but watching the felon king tear down the White House East Wing gave me the same vibes as when I watched the MAGAts storming the capital on January 6th.
