So, a quick recap of Trump's new "ballroom." We went from $200 million & privately funded, to $300 million privately funded, to $400 million with taxpayer supplementation, to $1 BILLION, COMPLETELY taxpayer funded. Politely fuck off if you support this. 🖕

🚨BREAKING: Trump’s ballroom will now cost $1 billion dollars and be fully taxpayer funded.

I’m in love with this sentence: “The strongest version of you is buried under the habits you're afraid to break.”

THEY. TORTURED. A. ONE. YEAR. OLD. BABY. THEY. TORTURED. A. ONE. YEAR. OLD. BABY. THEY. TORTURED. A. ONE. YEAR. OLD. BABY. THEY. TORTURED. A. ONE. YEAR. OLD. BABY.

Exactly! 😄

900 hospitals, clinics, and nursing homes are shuttering or slashing essential services due to Republicans' healthcare cuts.

Are we winning yet? 🙄

This is *insane.* Even if you are too tired to follow the news you have to understand this. The Louisiana governor has *suspended an active congressional election with 42k votes already cast* — it's insane.

🇺🇸🇮🇱 Former CIA officer John Kiriakou: "If Israel wants to kill you and you're in an apartment building, when they think they can hit you, they blow up the entire building and kill 2,000 people along with you; that's Israel's policy."

If Trump wants to end fraud in America, then why is he pardoning people who committed fraud in America?

You thought things are bad… it’s gunna get so much worse.

I can’t wrap my head around American lower and middle class people thinking free healthcare, universities, and public services would HURT them financially? Literally allowing the billionaire class to flourish with YOUR tax dollars. It’s delusional.

JetBlue is now formally warning us of a potential bankruptcy as fuel costs continue to skyrocket due to the Trump war. One analysis put their odds of filing for bankruptcy at 75%. Frontier is also on Bankruptcy watch with the same analysis giving them a 59% chance of filing.

The last shipment of oil arrived in the U.S. yesterday. Buckle up & brace for impact, because there is no plan.

IMPORTANT: Trump is openly calling for states to cancel active elections to push through new gerrymandered maps before November. His words: "If they have to vote twice, so be it."

The CEO of Chevron just said it out loud. "We're starting to see risks of supply outages in some of these economies." Europe is already there. Flights canceled. Schedules gutted. Jet fuel "very, very tight" in his words. Now Chevron's CEO is telling Americans directly: the US is next. "It's a global market." Energy independence doesn't mean price independence and it doesn't mean shortage independence either. When US exports hit records to fill gaps abroad, when the same barrels are being bid on by Europe, Asia, and American refiners simultaneously the market clears at one price. That price is going higher📈 The CEO of the company that literally operates in Venezuela, the Gulf of Mexico, and Kazakhstan is telling you the system is starting to crack. The physical shortage everyone modeled as a tail risk is becoming the base case. link for the full article in replies 👇

hegseth started the day bragging about the greatness of 'Project Freedom' only for trump to end the day by closing the program. This is a mess.

@SixPointSports There is no better place to watch a game… it’s in a neighborhood so the vibe is unique. Plus the Cubs have the best fans in MLB. They’re just so passionate about their team. It’s infectious…
