Trump wants to talk about waste, fraud, and abuse? Let’s follow HIS money. 🚩 $3.2 BIL: Gov business to companies tied to his sons’ investments 🚩 $2.3 BIL: Estimated Trump family crypto profits 🚩 $620 MIL: Pentagon loan to a company backed by Don Jr’s investment firm #TrumpsCrimesOnYourDime 🧵

For Putin's approval, or a Trump Tower in Moscow, or not revealing the Epstein files - there's no end to how much Trump would give up.

It's common to hear from the right "even one fraudulent ballot is too many." But impurities in drinking water - lead, arsenic, microplastics, - far exceed voter fraud in parts per million.

Exactly this! Americans holding signs demanding “FASCISTS OUT!” This Saturday, October 17, NO KINGS is back. But this time, it’s about more than protesting. It’s about ORGANIZING, protecting voting rights, and turning that energy into action at the ballot box. #VoteEarlyForNoKings

This is completely outrageous and disgusting. This must immediately be blocked by Congress and Trump should be impeached for this. The US is now funding Putin’s war machine as he murders civilians including children. We are lost as a country.

The first trump admin did something similarly grotesque: separating children from parents at the border and trafficking them to points unknown. And our American brethren looked at that and said That's fine let's put those people in charge again.
