WE FOUND THE WASTE, FRAUD, AND ABUSE:

FBI Director Kash Patel used a $60 million government jet for a booty call during the shutdown.

Not the first time. In April, he made multiple trips to Nashville to see his 26-year-old country-singer girlfriend and even flew her around to hockey games.

Remember: The richest 1% evade over $160 billion in taxes every year.

That amount would fund SNAP for a year with money to spare.

Ask yourself who the real freeloaders are.

🔴 Drei extrem rechte Parteien werden künftig in Tschechien die Regierung bilden. Sozialdemokratie und KP hatten die Themen der extremen Rechten übernommen, vor allem den Rassismus. Nun sind sie sogar aus dem Parlament geflogen - und die Rechten sind an der Macht. Das muss eine Lehre sein.

One week after Trump pardoned Binance’s owner (for a stunning array of crimes related to terrorist and sex predator financing), Binance starts promoting Trump crypto.
