Trump promised the Reflecting Pool makeover would cost $1.8M. The actual bill? $13.1M…quietly handed, no bid, no review, to a contractor who fixed his golf club pool. Now he’s being sued. Seven times over budget and counting. 📈​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ #USDemocracy #Pinks newrepublic.com/post/210248/...

newrepublic.comTrump Sued Over Reflecting Pool Renovation as Cost Suddenly SkyrocketsLike many of Trump’s other renovation projects, the cost of repairing the Lincoln Memorial pool is far higher than what he initially claimed.

When “senior administration officials” continue to lie to you day after day, week after week, so they can use your media platform to launder lies and manipulate people, how long do you keep doing it because they are “scoops” that get lots of clicks?

In their decision to obliterate the Voting Rights Act, the Supreme Court claimed that the law was so effective it had basically eliminated race based electoral discrimination This was, of course, a massive lie

They won't unless the dems grow a goddamn backbone for once in their miserable lives. I will never understand why they think playing by the rules will still make them win. I'm tired of this and its only making me wanna go full French Revolution on their asses.

Over at “One First,” I wrote about how the redistricting chaos we’re seeing in Alabama, Florida, Louisiana, Tennessee, and Virginia is something #SCOTUS *chose,* and how it belies both the entire purpose of the “Purcell principle” and the Court’s claim that it’s staying out of the political process:

I love how when Democrats propose a relatively boring and novel legal theory, corporate media frames it as a FURIOUS AND DESPERATE FAR-FETCHED BANK SHOT, but when Trump tries some crazy shit like overturning birthright citizenship, it's something to consider seriously.

The U.S. Forest Service isn’t managing forests anymore. It’s running a timber operation and poisoning everything else to do it. A yearlong investigation by Mother Jones found that the Forest Service and private logging companies are systematically spraying thousands of

For those outside the Seattle area, the current area drama is that wealthy residents of a mansion neighborhood are complaining to the city that helicopters that carry children to the Children's Hospital are too noisy. I cannot say my thoughts publicly :)

Today was supposed to be the trial date for my arrest last September at 26 Federal Plaza. My trial was postponed until early June, so I used the time for another court-watching shift. We must continue to fight back together against ICE’s lawless abductions.

I’m still talking about the Epstein files. I’m still speaking with Epstein survivors. The DOJ hasn’t released the complete files. We aren’t done here. 🔥

America is at a disadvantage with the fools Trump has surrounded himself with. Everyone suffers. Do not let them pass go. Vote in Representatives and Senators who will actually represent you. Not Trump and not themselves.

Jee...16 mths later, you'd think ICE would have rounded up all the "most dangerous illegals." OH, right, they were focusing more on non-violent illegals + citizens. MURDERING PROTESTERS in the streets. Strange how that worked out. Money wasted & now want billions more.
