Trump’s wealth increased by about $2.5 bn since his reelection, to $6.9 bn. Eric’s increased 10×, to $400 mn. Don Jr.’s 6×, to $300 mn. Barron, a college sophomore, is worth $150 mn. Trump's policies are picking winners and losers—and blurring the lines between business and government. n.pr/48P2QSb

Awfully convenient that Nicki Minaj found her conservative voice right as she’s losing a $20M mansion and her husband needs a pardon. Just like Russell Brand becoming an anti-woke crusader right after being accused of sexual assault. It’s a grift as old as time.

Anyone who voted for this has the death of children at their hands. No excuses: they literally wrote their plans down.
It is utterly catastrophic that RFK Jr. plans to end CDC recommendations for most childhood vaccines.
It’s a betrayal of science, ethics, compassion, and the people of the United States.
And it was also a specific goal of Project 2025 (page 254).
