Now there are TWO lists the White House won't release.

First it was the Epstein Files. Now it's who's paying for Trump's Golden Ballroom.

Apparently, the only promises the President keeps are those that benefit himself and his billionaire friends.

If I were ever elected president, the first thing I’d do is take a sledgehammer to that ballroom.

We’ve got a taxation without representation problem for Arizona as Trump-lackey Mike Johnson refuses to swear in @adelitaforcongress.bsky.social.

She & the state of AZ have sued to force Johnson’s hand & to foil Trump’s efforts to stop the release of the Epstein Files.

Trump rewarded Changpeng Zhao, a business partner who boosted his crypto venture, with a pardon for crimes that Zhao pleaded guilty to.

Trading presidential favors for self-interest.

You can’t get more classically corrupt than this.
Q: On the pardon of Changpeng Zhao, Binance has significant business interests with World Liberty Financial, the president family's crypto company. How do you respond to criticisms that this is a corrupt act?

LEAVITT: I would respond and say the president is exercising his constitutional authority

Trump wants to end judicial oversight. As cases from California, Oregon & Illinois move toward SCOTUS, you would expect the Supreme Court to object to the effort to render it irrelevant, but the question is whether this Court will.

As Trump marches toward militarizing San Francisco:

- Memorize contact info in case of arrest
- Plan ahead if you have children or medication
- Speak out PEACEFULLY and at a distance

Stay smart, safe, and don’t give them the excuse they're wanting to escalate their crackdown.
