Parade cost up to 45M. Turnout about 10K. Checks math…$4500 per person. Where’s that wonderful DOGE when you need them?
The turnout in Idaho for #NoKings dwarfed Trump’s parade.

Newsmax estimated the DC turnout at 10k, a far cry from the 200k expected.

While Trump raises prices on Americans, he's grifting hundreds of millions in crypto projects—selling access to the presidency, rewarding investors, and pushing policies that enrich his family.

This corruption is unprecedented in US presidential history.

Since the beginning I’ve said that Elon and his DOGE tech bros know the real value in pillaging these federal agencies is in the data, but not to raid your bank accounts.

It’s to influence the outcome of our elections.
“…members of the DOGE team asked that their activities not be logged on the system and then appeared to try to cover their tracks behind them, turning off monitoring tools and manually deleting records of their access…”

What kind of shady s**t is going on here??

Another Trump tariff lie and a telling one: no tariffs on Russia and Belarus because the US has “no significant trade with them”.

In fact America’s trade balance with Russia is $3.5bn, more than other countries. Tariffs on Belarus should actually be 42% and 24% on Russia, according to Le Monde.

The day Signalgate broke, Trump said he didn’t know anything about it. The day AFTER 4 US soldiers goes missing, he also doesn’t know anything about it. Is ANYONE in this administration doing their job?
