On top of his crypto grifts, real estate deals, and other corrupt ways he profits from the presidency, Trump now literally wants his own DOJ to pay him $230M.

He does this all while his tariffs raise prices on Americans.

An insane, unprecedented level of blatant corruption.

Bower: But when you’re a sitting United States attorney approaching a reporter you don’t know, and you don’t set the conditions of that conversation at the outset.. of course, it’s expected that whatever you say is on the record, and that they can report it.

Demolishing the White House while also trying to get &250 million from the DOJ.

Why should we bother paying taxes anymore if they’re just going to go to Trump?

There is powerful messaging and imagery and I don’t understand how there is no opposition. From Dems, sure, but media and businesses and

Buttigieg: This is about political revenge. The president has been very clear about that. And the really dangerous thing is the revenge is on you—on ordinary Americans and commuters who depend on these tunnels.

ICE is stockpiling arms, including chemical weapons, guided missile warheads and explosive components. The spending dwarfs anything we've ever seen in the agency - a 700% increase.

The President is building an army to attack his own country.

If the Trump WH could just be honest with us for once & tell the truth about these “peace talks/deals” we could handle it. Tell us it’s going to be difficult with lots of things unresolved & pitfalls to navigate. Instead, because of Trump’s craving for praise, we get propaganda.
