All of the banks that did business with Trump & his kids knew he was laundering money for decades. It was one of the worst kept secrets in NYC. Right behind his sexual predation & Melania’s former occupation. Trump exists because of greed & criminality and not only his own.

After Trump gets the stock market bump and oil futures dip to kick off the day, he then does his usual Lucy pulling the football act.
this is what’s acceptable to cornyn and tillis. to no one’s surprise, their performative mewling was never serious.
Kyle Griffin@kylegriffin1.bsky.social · 2d agoFLAG: Trump gets to keep tax immunity for himself, his sons, and the Trump Organization under the new 'deal' struck by Todd Blanche. The new order also reaffirms that Trump won't have to pay any taxes he might have owed the IRS.

"A bottled water company, a winery, a golf course, a construction payroll firm, and a real estate brokerage, and hundreds of other businesses" were debanked. Trump claims it was for political reasons.

Uber Eats and DoorDash hid tip buttons and set default tips below 10%. As a result, tips for delivery workers fell 79%. In January, we made these corporations change their apps — and in the past six months, we've put $104 million back in delivery workers' pockets. This is only the beginning.

The guy that they want you to be terrified of (Mamdani) is making sure kids in NYC are fed all summer and people have access to cheaper groceries, all while they take food away from kids getting SNAP. Just sayin, feeding kids should make you the good guy.
