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.
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.

The Trump administration’s systematic targeting of US knowledge infrastructure spans the entire production chain, from soup to nuts. Without reliable statistics, research funding, or accessible data, information asymmetries will surely increase, writes Amelia Acker.

So here's where we are, Sunday morning:
Trump is trying to starve hungry kids in order to bully Democrats into abandoning our fight against health care premium increases.
So Trump is starving kids in order to deny families health care.

The country is starting to figure it out.
WATCH: “It is as if the administration is on a mission to make sure every American knows he is in fact an elderly, out-of-touch rich guy who just does not care about you,” says Chris Hayes at the end of Trump’s “worst political week.”

Democrats asked for ONE THING today to reopen the govt: Keep health insurance subsidies where they are at now for one year. That is IT. Nothing else.
Republicans said no.
So all the lies they tell every day about things Dems are asking for is BS.

Absolutely atrocious. Musk and Trump are headed to hell for this alone.
One analytical model shows that, as of November 5th, the dismantling of U.S.A.I.D. has already caused the deaths of 600,000 people, two-thirds of them children. https://newyorkermag.visitlink.me/jUzNSc

basically every 2024 truism is dead. Trump did not build a lasting multiracial coalition or turn young men into committed Republicans. You don’t need to cave on trans rights to win. The pundits have nothing left to tell you.
