@OccupyDemocrats So…the folks that mow the grass, are licensed & experienced in building gigantic concrete Arch Monuments that won’t fall down. Uh Huh.

@sally_12grands @OccupyDemocrats Really reminds of the border wall, yeah? Parts of it came down faster than they could say *all done*

REAKING: Trump is trying to CHEAT procurement laws to build his vanity arch in time for his own birthday party, ignoring safety and transparency regulations. In a typical fit of megalomania, Donald Trump wants a "triumphal arch" built in Washington D.C. — because apparently the Lincoln Memorial and Washington Monument aren't enough monuments for one city — and his team is now scheming to cut corners on federal contracting law to make it happen. Messages obtained by the Washington Post reveal that National Park Service acting director Jessica Bowron floated the idea of piggybacking the arch project onto an existing engineering contract with AECOM — a deal originally intended for work on White House grounds. The arch site is over a mile away. Bowron knew it. She said so in her own email. She suggested the workaround anyway because it would "align with the administration's timeline." And what is that timeline? Trump wants construction to begin by July 4th — America's 250th birthday — so he can bask in the glory of his own monument on national television. By tacking the arch onto AECOM's existing contract, the administration would potentially bypass the competitive federal bidding process entirely, shutting out other companies and eliminating the pricing transparency that protects taxpayers. Former Pentagon procurement chief Stan Soloway called the contract applicability "a real stretch." Government contracts attorney Alan Chvotkin warned taxpayers would "lose the benefits of competition, pricing, and transparency." But wait — it gets worse. The FAA is now investigating whether the nearly 280-foot structure poses a safety hazard to Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport, which handles 900 flights a day and was the site of a collision that killed 67 people just last January. FAA rules require a safety review for any structure over 200 feet near flight paths. That review typically takes up to nine months. Trump's arch is taller than 200 feet. The FAA review could blow past his July deadline by months. So, his team's solution is apparently to cheat on the contracting process and hope nobody notices the plane crash risk in time. This is your tax dollars at work: secret schemes, rigged contracts, and a potential aviation hazard — all so Trump can have his completely unnecessary triumphal arch by the Fourth of July. Meanwhile, social services have been cut, education is underfunded, and infrastructure continues to deteriorate. Trump’s misplaced priorities are obviously not what America needs right now.

@OccupyDemocrats This is corruption. I was a part-owner of an Architectural firm for 25 years that designed/constructed government projects including 3 Superior Courthouses. The RFQ, RFP, & Design Bid process was extensive and open to public bid. There is no bypassing the procurement procedure.

@atrupar @VelvetMelanson Reminder that Trump is about to settle his own IRS lawsuit with himself for $10 billion.

@atrupar Well, at least JD Vance accidentally got one thing right: Americans are absolutely getting fleeced by Trump and the administration.

JD Vance: "There's a lot of fraud in the federal government. It's unbelievable how much you've been fleeced by your own government."

Can someone please explain why Sebastian Gorka, a Hungarian and Russian asset who worked with Putin's oligarchs, is in charge of counter-terrorism for the Trump administration?

This is the part where Trump has to convince the Fox audience that Xi respects him despite the fact that he treated him with obvious contempt.

KASH WENT SNORKELING ON YOUR TAX DOLLARS When Kash Patel visited Hawaii last year it was supposed to be for business. Now it came out that Patel participated in what is being described as a "VIP snorkel" around the USS Arizona. Your Thoughts?

Trump is planning a mass pardon of 250 criminals as part of his twisted America 250 celebration and his 80th birthday Many suspect Trump will include Sex Offender Ghislaine Maxwell and other dangerous Trump’s aligned convicted sex offenders and fraudsters in his mass pardon Only a convicted felon and adjudicated rapist would think releasing violent sex offenders and other convicted criminals back into society on America’s 250th birthday is a good idea #USDemocracy #DemsUnited #DV1

The body of another child was found under the debris. Russia killed two kids and 14 adults in Kyiv today. It injured 57 more. I can't find words. I am aching and sorry for everyone whose lives were ruined by Russia. RIP.

For as long as I live, I will never understand how January 6th wasn’t the end of Donald Trump. I will never, ever understand it.

Donald Trump will go down and the worst President in history! Raise your hand if you agree✋

21 people, including 3 children, died in the russian attack on Kyiv on the night of May 14. I can't hate them more 🤬🤬🤬

Absolute disaster for American healthcare. Devastating nationwide moratorium on all new hospice & home healthcare facilities. Trump is literally blocking critical end of life care for millions of vulnerable citizens meanwhile Israel has free healthcare from American tax payers.
