Please stop writing that the Trump ballroom is being funded “entirely” by private donors and with “no” public money.
Not true.
Funds are being routed through a nonprofit to make the donations tax-deductible. So the public is losing the taxes that won’t be paid on $400 million.

What the KENNEDY Center used to be…
Remember that time Aretha Franklin performed at the 2015 Kennedy Center Honors, paying tribute to Carole King, who co-wrote “You Make Me Feel Like A Natural Woman,” and it brought a tear to Obama’s eye and everyone to their feet? And Carole King’s reaction. Wow.

So “a million more documents” is now “roughly 5.2 million pages of Epstein files documents”
And they’re “seeking to enlist about 400 lawyers” to do doc review, which means they don’t even have the people yet to get it done
Trump & Pamela Jo are just slow-walking the shit out of violating the law.

Miller, the grandson of immigrants, says such vile things and implements cruel policies. He has no business in “public service”.
Imagine watching Sinatra, son of Dolly & Antonini born in Genoa & Sicily, respectively, and Martin, son of Gaetano & Angela, born in Montesilvano, Italy & Ohio respectively, (Angela to parents born in Monasterolo, Italy), and crusading against the value of children of immigrants to the U.S.

Help me, I’m looking for the right word:
You start a company named „The Free Press“, and the first thing you do after selling it and moving on to a major network is take a documentary on the government’s cruel deportations off the air.
How do call that kind of behavior?

America has 925 billionaires as of this year. Collectively they have a record $6.9 trillion in wealth.
The bottom 50% of Americans control $4.2 trillion in wealth.
When 925 people control more wealth than half a country’s population, we have a very serious problem.

Almost.

Trump’s attacks on Vineyard Wind are attacks on union jobs and American wallets. This will make our nation weaker, our energy costs higher, and our families less certain about how they’re going to make ends meet.
