Billions in foreign real estate deals. $320M in crypto trading fees — and a private dinner with top buyers of his meme coin. $28M from Amazon for a Melania documentary. The list goes on... We're so numb to Trump profiting off the presidency that hardly anyone notices. Hello?

Remember when Trump claimed the Biden administration wasn’t doing enough to help North Carolina recover from Hurricane Helene? Well, his administration just denied the state’s request for continued FEMA relief assistance. This hypocrisy isn’t just staggering. It’s cruel.

In January, Trump fired 19 inspectors general who root out fraud and corruption. One of his picks to replace them is a GOP ex-congressman who allegedly violated House ethics rules. Another resigned from a state job after allegedly mishandling taxpayer money. "Drain the swamp."

being this fucking high in public has always been my nightmare

60% of American households can’t afford a minimal quality of life. Meanwhile, the 19 richest households saw their wealth increase by $1 trillion in 2024 — the biggest one-year increase ever. Our problem isn't a lack of resources. Our problem is ever-expanding inequality.

This has always been the GOP's strategy: 1) Cut taxes for the wealthy & corporations by claiming they'll pay for themselves. 2) Explode the deficit. 3) Demand cuts to vital programs that help millions. 4) Repeat. They're trying to get away with it again.

A new analysis estimates the Trump/GOP budget's rollback of clean energy tax credits will eliminate nearly 830,000 jobs by 2030 and raise energy prices by 50% by 2035.  Just another way the "big beautiful bill" will make the economy worse and your life more expensive.

44% of all American children benefit from Medicaid or SNAP. Republicans' budget guts both programs. Yes: the so-called "party of family values" is putting 34 MILLION kids' health care access and food security at risk.

The combined wealth of the 10 richest US billionaires increased by over $360 billion in the last year according to a new Oxfam report. Meanwhile, 60% of Americans don't earn enough to afford basic costs of living. Our nation's raging inequality is on full display.

Trump will host a private dinner tomorrow for the top buyers of his memecoin, which has made him the world's newest crypto billionaire. The top 25 coin buyers will get a "VIP White House tour." Call it what it is: corruption.

The Trump tariffs are "stackable," and so average tariff rates are higher than you're seeing in most media reports. Lemme 'splain.
