During the first Trump administration, selling Trump Wines on federal property would have been a scandal (as it should be).
But this time around, it’s just yet another piece of a corruption tidal wave. 🧵

Everyone should pay careful attention to the Maine voter ID ballot measure (Prop 1). It is on track to lose -- thereby proving that the GOP claims that voter ID laws are overwhelmingly popular is a lie. Perhaps now the legacy media will stop repeating that nonsense.

Missouri had a fire sale a couple of decades ago when the Republican supermajority came to town. They defunded schools and roads and hospitals and allowed CAFOs to pollute with impunity. Then they gave away billions in tax cuts.
