We finally have the previously undisclosed donor list for Trump’s ballroom, and guess whose name is missing? Trump’s $333 mill in donations & pledges, including: 📌 Nvidia: $25 mill 📌 Apple: $25 mill 📌 The Adelson’s: $25 mill 📌 Charles Ergen (Dish Network): $25 mill 📌 Palantir, Meta, Comcast

Interest rates do NOT drive housing prices up, however, they do markedly drive mortgage payments up when purchasing during the hikes and financing 80% or more of the purchase price. Net effect: poorer people are driven out of the market or into the least costly homes/NBHDs. #AffordabilityShrinkage

Mortgage rates have increased now for *7 weeks in a row* They're at the highest levels in almost *3 years* This is EXACTLY what Donald Trump said he wants to do Can't afford to buy a home or even rent an apartment? Now you know why It's the #CostOfTrumpsCorruption And we're ALL paying for it

Thailand’s Queen Suthida made history today, becoming the first reigning queen to fly a fighter jet solo. And she already had more than 1,100 flight hours under her belt! ✈️ #SheShed #VivaHerAlliance

ICE BEHIND THE MASKS HAVE NAMES 2 masked agents threatened to arrest Robert Peck for legally observing them. He sued. “And now, because of a lawsuit, the (ICE) agents have names.” A Hylton 📌Nicholas Lapointe 📌Christopher Semler I hope more people take ICE to court when their rights are violated.

The amount of Amazon workers relying on SNAP and Medicaid has nearly tripled since 2020 — while Amazon’s annual profits soared by over 550%. It’s the same story everywhere: corporate profits are at record highs, while workers’ share of the economy is at a record low. We must unrig the system.

Wow -- RNC video: "On June 14th, 1946, God looked down on his planned paradise and said, 'I need a caretaker,' so God gave us Trump." It only gets more unhinged and culty from there.

Facts: -The pwrs the govt took to protect ppl are now being abused greatly to attack ppl -The spirit that had ppl looking out for each other is still around today "The passengers who stormed the cockpit on Flight 93 didn’t die to invert democracy. They died to save it, & their mission is now ours"

open.substack.comWe built a machine to protect Americans after 9/11. The president has turned it against us.On the 25th anniversary of the attacks, Donald Trump is systematically weaponizing America’s counterterrorism agencies and systems for domestic repression.

That's a big kick in the guts. Payrolls is much weaker, and the U.S. lost -23k jobs in March, well below expectations of +80k. Huge downward revisions, too: May now +63k (instead of +129k), June now +20k (down from +53k). Very bad news. Revise down your views substantially.

Regulations AND inspections. Government guidance has historically been an excellent means of improving both product and workplace safety, but the Republican way is really just a lot of gaming and lip service. Tax breaks for corporations and de minimus public service/profits over people.

In the last 15 years, Taylor Farms has had at least four major foodborne illness outbreaks. That sounds dangerous to me. Sounds like they might need…oh, what’s that word Republicans hate?… Regulations.

Remember: The real freeloaders in this country are the rich — not the poor or immigrants or any other group of people vilified as scapegoats. The richest 1% evade over $160 billion in taxes every year. The United States literally has yacht and private jet tax deductions. Hello?

Newsom: I’m really proud of the data that just came out. The lowest homicides in recorded history in California. Time for updated talking points for all those with California derangement syndrome. Eight out of the top 10 murder-rate states in America are red states.

"... those standards are not meant to change..." Almost every thinking person in the world who is paying attention sees this, and knows this. Thankfully, we have some career professionals still doing their best to hold the line.

Ossoff: "Handing an out-of-control executive even more unfettered power just makes it even more vital that we restore checks and balances and constrain this president using our power as citizens as voters in these midterm elections."

LOL. They probably got stumped on that whole "without repeating arguments" part. The #freespeech concept and practice is kind of at risk, even so. Gaslighting seems to be the only strong suit of The Administration.

Joyce White Vance@joycewhitevance.bsky.social

DOJ appears to have missed its filing deadline in @katiephang.bsky.social’s lawsuit against Todd Blanche.

Essentially, this is not in service to their alleged core mission of deconstructing the administrative state. This, as we saw with extra-Congressional, illegal DOGE activities, is a centralized power grab, cutting Congressional authority off at the knees.

Please speak up. Record your objection. This is crucially important.

I wouldn’t be where I am today without the love and support that Michelle has poured into me over the years. Her story — from her South Side roots to the White House and beyond — is a central part of the Obama Presidential Center.

Fourteen dollars for eggs and milk is the new, painful normal. Trump's indifference toward your bank account is written all over your grocery receipt. We are paying the price for his negligence. #WeCantAffordTrump

No one in this administration, from Trump down, has the dedication or ability to want to do their actual jobs—instead, they just have the narcissism and neediness to want to be celebrities.

All the car parks to the supermarkets and hyper markets in this area are done. Plus quite a few much smaller parking areas. All new agricultural buildings have solar panel roofs as well.

Mark Zuckerberg built a massive data center in Georgia just hundreds of yards from people’s homes. Now the water pressure is gone. Sinks don’t run. Toilets won’t refill. Homes shake nonstop. Power outages are routine.

So, the real cost is $1.4 billion. And counting, since they "discovered" in the temporary dump site... wait for it: toxic waste in need of cleanup! That's what dictators do. Conspicuous consumption that is tone deaf, and a violation of the public trust.

Equal pay/equal opportunity for women would increase their access to healthcare and overall autonomy. (Aside: Another option: single payor/universal - not for profit care.) The federal court that chose protecting teleheath providers over women's access to healthcare just does not get it. SCOTUS...?

A Baltimore bakery truck was struck by a United Airlines plane coming in for a landing at Newark Airport. If this were under Mayor Pete’s watch, Fox would be running it until Christmas.

BREAKING: Congressman Johnny Olszewski (D-MD) is introducing a constitutional amendment to establish term limits for Supreme Court Justices. The ROBE Act would establish 18-year term limits for justices.

Not only is The Administration xenophobic and genocidal, they just can't help but go down the slippery slope of human rights abuse. It's tragic that a nation "founded" by invader immigrants... Just. Doesn't. Get. It.
