The donors that contributed to Trump's golden ballroom have $279 BILLION in federal contracts.

Their attempt to bribe the president with millions in donations could earn them corrupt favors from Trump or easier access to the American people's tax dollars.

Trump's destroyed the East Wing of the White House to create a $300 million golden ballroom funded by bribes that he'll use to keep fishing for more bribes from corporations and billionaires.

🚨BALLROOM CORRUPTION ALERT🚨

Being the secretary of commerce didn't stop Howard Lutnick from donating to Trump's golden ballroom in hopes of getting more corrupt favors from the president in the form of pro-crypto policies.

Well, if the golden ballroom fits… Guess Trump’s fine hosting America’s collapse from his gilded bunker while families lose food, healthcare, and paychecks.

Now there are TWO lists the White House won't release.

First it was the Epstein Files. Now it's who's paying for Trump's Golden Ballroom.

Apparently, the only promises the President keeps are those that benefit himself and his billionaire friends.

Trump’s Corruption Gives Democrats A Shot At A Unifying Message Progressives and moderates alike are signing on to a new pledge to β€œunrig” Washington.

Today, we launched our Unrig Washington campaign, a bold new standard for Democrats to show voters that as a party we're serious about cleaning up Washington.

So far, 83 Democratic candidates and Members of Congress have joined this campaign.

Trump pardoned his associates who tried to help him overturn the 2020 election.

He pardoned 1500 people who tried to violently overthrow our government on January 6th.

Trump is proving that he’ll pardon anyone for any crimes they help him commit.

Complete lawlessness.

Over a month ago, nearly 70% of the voters in #AZ07 voted for Congresswoman-elect Adelita Grijalva. Sign our petition to tell Mike Johnson to swear her in now.

Because of Trump, Extremity Care can keep charging Medicare for its products until January 1, 2026.

With the deadline approaching, the company corruptly donated $2.5 million towards Trump's golden ballroom in hopes of being rewarded more favors.

The Child-Rapist Trump is Appealing the Judges Decision to fund Fully SNAP.
Understand what that means. He is fighting an order to FEED AMERICANS.
Meanwhile he had a $7 Million dollar Halloween party on Taxpayers. He's building a damn ballroom. His Big Bullshit Bill will take Healthcare away too.

Let this sink in: Trump actually went to court to force 42 million people to go hungry, while still finding money to deport legal immigrants and build a ballroom.

🚨 Trump claimed that β€œTRILLIONS of DOLLARS are being taken in on tariffs” & "MASSIVE amounts of CASH is pouring into our Treasury’s coffers”

$40 billion for Argentina
$300 million for Epstein Ballroom

Begs the question:

⁉️ WHY isn't Trump using that CASH to pay SNAP benefits?

Trump administration asks Supreme Court to stop order requiring SNAP benefits be paid.

How do you feel about him intentionally starving American children during Thanksgiving, while building a gold plated ballroom and remodeling a 747 for himself?

Trump said he’d be β€œthe jobs president.” Turns out he meant job cuts. Nearly a million Americans out of work, and he’s bragging about marble bathrooms and his gilded ballroom.

β€œAn intermediary for the White House has told the Commanders’ ownership group that Trump wants the club’s new stadiumβ€”part of a nearly $4 billion project in the nation's capital at the site of what was known as RFK Stadiumβ€”to bear his name.”

If it doesn't involve lining his pockets with crypto money, building a $350 million ballroom, or pardoning his MAGA friends, Trump isn't interested in doing it.

Kristi Noem has been widely criticized for slowing down FEMA’s response after natural disasters.

Texts and emails obtained by ProPublica point to an effective way to get help faster: have one of Noem’s big donors make the ask.

Foreign Food Safety Inspections Hit Historic Low After Trump Cuts The dramatic shift in oversight comes at a time when the U.S. has never been more reliant on foreign food, which accounts for the vast majority of the nation’s seafood and more than half its fresh fruit.

NEW: Foreign food safety inspections have hit a historic low after Trump staffing cuts. The dramatic shift in oversight comes as the U.S. has never been more reliant on foreign food.

β€œIt’s only a matter of time before people die,” one expert said.

β€œSlow Pay, Low Pay or No Pay”: Trial Reveals How Insurers Try to Wield Power Over Doctors Blue Cross authorized mastectomies and breast reconstructions for women with cancer but refused to pay the full doctors’ bills. A jury called it fraud and awarded the practice $421 million.

Insurance companies aren’t just players in the fight with doctors over money; they’re also the referees.

They produce their own guidelines on when to pay claims. If a doctor appeals a denial, insurers make all the initial decisions.
