No including Trump’s flights to his golf clubs, we’re probably looking at several BILLION dollars in waste. It’s disgusting.

Marjorie Taylor Greene's resigning in time to get a pension is a lesson to everyone.
Most Americans don't get *any* pension anymore, but Congress gave itself a pension after only five years of work.
Our "representatives" aren't working for us, they are [barely] working for themselves.

Before the midterms of 1866, President Andrew Johnson called his congressional opponents traitors and said they should be hanged.
Voters were so profoundly moved by his words... that they gave his opponents a supermajority in Congress, and the nation got the Fourteenth Amendment.

The President of the United States is publicly calling for the political prosecution of his political opponents, urging the death penalty because they urged soldiers to uphold the rule of law.
This should be front page news everywhere. It is not, which tells much about how we got to this point.

I mean, look, I'm not a reporter, so who am I to talk?
But on a day where the president both just called a woman reporter "Piggy" and is celebrating someone who had people bone saw apart one of my colleagues, I might just be a little ready to defend my colleagues and profession.
But that's just me

Donald Trump spent months trying to tell Americans his tariffs weren't raising costs and that rising prices aren’t a problem.
Now, his plan to bring down costs is to roll back just a few of the tariffs that he imposed in the first place.
It’s time to repeal ALL of Trump’s reckless tariffs.

Meiselas this past Monday: Halligan says the grand jury rejected the 3-count indictment, so she brought back a 2-count version they supposedly approved, but that part is missing from the transcript. Judge Currie warned the grand jury may never have seen it. If true, that’s criminal.
