This is so insanely corrupt, I can’t even believe it. More than half the donors to Trump’s $400 million White House ballroom just won over $50 billion in new federal contracts in six months. And here’s the part that should make your blood boil. Sixteen of these 27 donors were facing federal enforcement actions, antitrust reviews, labor cases, securities charges. Many of those cases have been quietly dropped or scaled back since Trump took office. You write a check, your legal problems disappear. That’s not a coincidence. The White House won’t even release the full donor list. They’re hiding it on purpose, because daylight is the one thing pay-to-play can’t survive. A federal judge already ruled ballroom construction has to stop until Congress authorizes it. Government is supposed to serve the people, not auction itself off to the highest bidder. When access goes to whoever pays the most, working families always end up paying the price. We either end the corruption, or the corruption will end us. wapo.st/3QmJjSz

Honoured to be speaking at @TEDxWasedaU — exploring what #Tokyo's dense, mixed-use neighbourhoods and their #machikoba micro-factories can teach us about balancing work and life, and building cities as incubators of tolerance and cooperation.

Bizarre. There are no more rules and we’re truly broken. The Vice President of the U.S. openly campaigning in Hungary for the most corrupt hand puppet of Putin. Extraordinary.

Pam Bondi, "There is no evidence that Donald Trump has committed a crime" Ted Lieu, "You just lied under oath. There is ample evidence in the Epstein files" Pam Bondi, "Don't you ever accuse me of a crime" Ted Lieu, "You just lied under oath, and this is on video tape" Ted Lieu then reads an extract from the Epstein files about a girl who says she was raped by Trump and Epstein and had her head blown off, with officer saying it couldn't have been a suicide Ted Lieu, "You have not held a single man accountable" "Shame on you" "if you had any decency, you would resign after this hearing concludes"

BREAKING: Multiple Epstein victims tell NBC News that Pam Bondi intentionally un-redacted their names and other victims' names as a way to threaten them into silence! “I think we all realize now that [the DOJ] really wanted to silence us, and [they] thought that [they] could scare us by putting our names out there.” “It had a list of victims, and one was redacted. That makes no sense. This is a list of victims. That is INTENTIONAL!” This is an impeachable offense. Pam Bondi needs to be impeached immediately!

Today, the Trump administration repealed the endangerment finding: the ruling that served as the basis for limits on tailpipe emissions and power plant rules. Without it, we’ll be less safe, less healthy and less able to fight climate change — all so the fossil fuel industry can make even more money.

BREAKING: US Olympian Chloe Kim, who has immigrant parents, speaks out: “In moments like these it’s really important for us to unite. We are allowed to voice our opinions on what’s going on. I think we need to lead with love and compassion.” I’m so happy that so many Olympians are not hesitant to speak out for what they believe in even when they know the president could try to bully them.

Crockett: "I don't really know where we are in this country. Why are we even having this conversation? The United States is falling apart right now, partially because he's allowing for the killings of people in the middle of the street, but the other part of it is we have a 34 count convicted felon and there are people that are still shielding him from any type of accountability as it relates to a child sex trafficking ring. I don't understand why we are pretending like any of this is normal."

🚨 Rep. Stansbury doesn’t mince words: “The United States government is engaged in an active cover-up of the largest sex-trafficking and influence-peddling scandal in our history — and Donald Trump is right at the center of it.” That’s a sitting member of Congress saying it out loud.

The U.S. has given my family so much opportunity, but I also think we are allowed to voice our opinions on what’s going on.” 🇺🇸🇺🇸
