Trump media group plans to raise $3bn to spend on cryptocurrencies US president’s administration and family have become staunch advocates for digital assets

While I'm grateful to may in media for documenting the sleazy corruption coursing through the veins of the Trump Inc., I'd appreciate more reporting on what we as a nation can legally do punish this behavior.

Where are the checks? Anyone?

Psychiatrists at #APAAM25 understand the crucial need for #SinglePayer #MedicareForAll.

A publicly-funded universal health system would guarantee comprehensive mental health coverage for everybody—in sharp contrast to the profit-focused status quo.

They are pro-pregnancy.
Once the existential journey actually begins, we're apparently on our own and grown ripe merely for the subsequent picking.

Seeing chatter about the Musky Towed One in pursuit of you and wonder how much of the overture is about your intertwining with CREW, who's initiated many a legal effort to hold this administration accountable.
Casting blame for lost ad revenue might be just icing?
Stay on 'em plz.

I'd say what funds get drawn from where gonna raise some eyebrows should designated purpose be...avoided? I track . I track covid $ for the moment and Prosper Portland is listed as a 'vendor'. portlandoregon.quickbase.com/nav/app/bjsw...

Between CARES under Trump at $2.2 trillion &
ARPA under Biden at $1.9 trillion

My math says that brings a sum of $5 trillion, whereas USASpending.gov has that total at $4.6 trillion.
Lots yet to learn.

COVID Stimulus Watch COVID Stimulus Watch, produced by Good Jobs First, combines data on CARES Act loans and grants awarded to corporations with information on each company's accountability track record.

A lot to have at there!? Tracking who got what might exceed my reach, but that doesn't stop me from pouring thru lots of data to work up some more insightful answers than I've caught thus far.

Revealed: Oregon spent funds meant for addiction services on prosecutors and police gadgets As the state abandons decriminalization, treatment grants are going to sheriffs and district attorneys: ‘that might be two or three case managers’

$30 million non profit? Great work if you can get it, I guess. A viable commons won't ever come given all the pilfering of public coffers. Please be advised, trolling will draw subsidy details. projects.propublica.org/nonprofits/o...

It is WILD to watch a supposedly public agency spread disinformation to get a whole community worked up and protect their own bottom line.

Prosper Portland is sitting on a $50m slush fund that they did not earn and want Portland to cut parks maintenance and permitting staff.

Wild.

I don't buy anything online.

There are reasons I refer to the folks in this space universally as the gardeners. Plant a lot of seeds while on the public dime to later harvest as a member of the private sector.

It Is Freakish And Insane How Our Society Averts Its Gaze From Gaza Listen to a reading of this article (reading by Tim Foley):

It can make you feel like you’re going mad. How phony and superficial it all is. How we’re a year and a half into history’s first live-streamed genocide and our whole society is acting like everything’s peachy.

We must add another count
into our consciousness:
it’s been 62 days

with all we have to
