Here's How Much The Trump Family Is Worth President Trump just had the most lucrative year of his life. But percentage-wise, his three sons—Don Jr., Eric and Barron—did even better.

No first family has used the office to make as much money as Donald Trump’s. We're talking hundreds of millions, if not BILLIONS, of dollars.

NEW: @propublica.org investigated the Chicago apartment raid where kids were zip-tied and citizens detained for hours. They find:

- NONE of the arrested were criminally charged
- NO evidence the building was "filled with TdA terrorists."
- ZERO legitimate reason for DHS to rappel from a Blackhawk.

The America First guy has brought in 566 foreign workers during his 5 years in office to work at his companies instead of hiring Americans. And counting.

Girl, 13, expelled for hitting classmate who made a deepfake porn image of her, lawyers say A 13-year-old student was expelled from a Louisiana middle school after hitting a male classmate who she said created and shared a deepfake pornographic image of her, according to her family’s lawyers...

A middle school boy created deepfake AI CSAM of his fellow classmate, a 13 year old girl. The girl pleaded with the school but they did nothing and instead put her on a bus with the perpetrator. She ended up hitting him and was expelled but nothing happened to the boy.

Donald Trump spent more money bailing out Argentina than it would have cost to extend the ACA premium tax credits for 1 year.

So does MAGA actually stand for Make Argentina Great Again? Because if not, then why did Trump just double or triple millions of Americans’ health care premiums?

Hey so “underage girls” are…children. The word you’re looking for is children. They’re not like, women-in-waiting or women-lite or whatever. They’re children. I think some of you are very uncomfortable with what that means for you but it is still true.

Table showing the five richest men in the U.S from Bloombergs billionaire list ., all in technology. Elon Musk tops the list with a net worth of $461B and a year-to-date gain of $28.2B. Larry Ellison is second at $300B with a $107B YTD gain. Jeff Bezos has $268B (+$29.5B YTD), Larry Page $250B (+$81.9B YTD), and Sergey Brin $234B (+$75.5B YTD). Each row also lists last-day change, country (all United States), and industry (all Technology).

Kind of wild that while food assistance was withheld from millions of families, one Trump-supporting billionaire (Ellison) saw his net worth grow more this year than the entire SNAP budget. And the YTD gains of the other four richest men would’ve fully covered salaries for all 2M federal employees.

I had the opportunity to review the work experience and skills of numerous people who were laid off or fired from public health jobs by Donald Trump.

I want every taxpayer to know that the US has lost an immeasurable number of the smartest, most experienced, and hardworking people on the planet.

Trump Administration Plans to Send Border Patrol to Charlotte and New Orleans.

Plans for the operations were still being finalized.

Crime rates have declined significantly in New Orleans and Charlotte over the past several years.

Kash Patel’s ‘Effin Wild’ Ride as FBI Director In just one week in October, he ticked off his bosses with premature comments about a terror investigation and squeezed in a trip to the ‘Boondoggle Ranch’ on the bureau jet.

Lots of fun stuff in this scoop by Sadie Gurman, Josh Dawsey, Arunda Viswanatha, and Jack Gillum, beyond the ranch with the apropos name:

1) Dir. Patel almost wrecked an apparently genuine investigation into a terror group by premature interjection

It’s time for new leadership. On Monday we joined many others across the nation calling for Chuck Schumer to resign. We the People are PISSED. #WTFChuck

Furious Liberals Call for Schumer to Step Aside, Senate Dems Mostly Quiet After their shutdown surrender, liberal lawmakers are begging their base to unite behind them anyway – as Trumpland celebrates that their opposition is a bunch of 'p*ssies.'

MoveOn, Indivisible, Our Revolution, and 6 Democrats have called on Chuck Schumer to step aside as leader.

So we asked all 40 Democratic senators who didn’t cave to Republicans if they still think Schumer is the right leader.

Here's what they said.

@andrewperez.bsky.social @swin24.bsky.social

The Dem establishment wants every candidate to be a military veteran archetype who hits 70% on some bloodless Excel sheet of where the public stands on the issues, who will bow to the establishment when in office and not seriously rock the boat.

McGovern: Republicans are literally subsidizing an entirely different country instead of keeping families in North Carolina or Minnesota or Texas or Indiana from going bankrupt if they face emergency hospital bills.

Amendment which strikes section which “allows senators who were legally subpoenaed during the January 6 criminal conspiracy investigation to get millions of dollars deposited into their bank accounts at taxpayer expense” voted down by Republicans

Opinion | Cancer Patients Like Me Are Casualties of MAHA’s Hypocrisy

Just as I learned that my own cancer wasn’t responding to treatment, Trump’s Food and Drug Administration surprised many when it declined to approve a promising new therapy for treatment-resistant melanoma, one that I had hoped to take.

A 1-year-old girl was pepper-sprayed through the window of a moving vehicle by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents in Chicago. She was briefly hospitalized. TikTok video by NowThis Impact

A 1 yr. old & her father, had pepper spray thrown through their window while driving, for absolutely no reason other than pure racism, by Miller’s masked marauding thugs! No consequences, no justice, no punishment, unremitting violence! Is this the America you voted for?

Absolutely correct

Trump‘s brilliant plan of 50 year mortgages means that after your first 20 years making huge interest payments to a bank you will have paid down almost none of the principal and they will still own the house you are living in with 30 years to go. A scam from a career con man.

Dems backed Trump into a corner where he’s advocating for starving Americans and hemorrhaging support. If they vote to let him off the hook in exchange for nothing it’s a cataclysmic failure. I know people are in pain but insulating Republicans from political consequences is not the answer.

Unacceptable. There are 189,000 people in my district who will be paying 50–300% more for the same, and in many cases worse, healthcare.

I won’t do that to the people I represent. I’m a NO on this “deal.”

Sen Dems: OK, we'll vote to open the government if all promise to give us a vote on health-care in the future.
Sen Repubs: (to each other "omg this is like taking candy from a baby") Yes deal!!!
Sen Dems: You guys promise? We are trusting you
Sen Repubs: Would we ever lie to you 😉

Senate Democrats asked for a year of ACA subsidies and were told to fuck off.

So they came back and asked for a pinky promise to hold a vote on ACA subsidies that they will assuredly lose?

Seriously?

Who benefits from 50 year mortgages: banks, developers, realtors, estate lawyers.

Who gets screwed: everyone else.

I want you to understand what it is like to live in Chicago during this time. Every day my phone buzzes. It is a neighborhood group: four people were kidnapped at the corner drugstore. A friend a mile away sends a Slack message: she was at the scene when masked men assaulted and abducted two people on the street. A plumber working on my pipes is distraught, and I find out that two of his employees were kidnapped that morning. A week later it happens again. An email arrives. Agents with guns have chased a teacher into the school where she works. They did not have a warrant. They dragged her away, ignoring her and her colleagues’ pleas to show proof of her documentation. That evening I stand a few feet from the parents of Rayito de Sol and listen to them describe, with anguish, how good Ms. Diana was to their children. What it is like to have strangers with guns traumatize your kids. For a teacher to hide a three-year-old child for fear they might be killed. How their relatives will no longer leave the house. I hear the pain and fury in their voices, and I wonder who will be next. Understand what it is to pray in Chicago.

“I want you to understand what it is like to live in Chicago during this time.”

A 50 year mortgage would be just great for the banks. We'd all pay more for the same amount of house, and banks would reap the profits.

This is not the way to make buying a house affordable. Building more housing and paying a livable wage will benefit everyone except banks and their shareholders.

The current GOP lie is that they’re going to replace Obamacare with something better.

Bullshit. In all of the majorities they’ve had since Obamacare passed, they’ve never once tried to replace it.

They’ve tried to repeal it a whole bunch, but never actually make it better.

Not ICE. Border Patrol. They’re wearing Border Patrol uniforms with clear Border Patrol patches on them.

There are many videos of ICE officers doing outrageous stuff but a lot of the absolute worst videos are of Border Patrol, who are basically Bovino and Miller’s most aggressive tool right now.

Someone should go there and show them the clips of Trump's Great Gatsby party. I bet they'd be so happy to know he's having fun.

There are about 1,500 Americans who have more than $500M. If capped wealth there & collected the surplus, we’d have $4.26T. That would be enough to end child hunger & end homelessness for 170 years. Offer free college & trade school for 56 years. 1,500 very rich people are still very rich.-Threads
