Thanks to stockholdings in Big Oil, Trump has raked in up to $15.5M from his fossil fuel investments since January. Meanwhile, the American people have spent $71.5B more on gas since Trump's Iran War began. When Trump said, "I don’t think about Americans’ financial situation," he wasn't lying.

And while the Trump regime punishes Canada, our ally on 9/11, it lavishes favors (military, financial, and diplomatic) on Saudi Arabia, the country that gave us most of the 9/11 terrorists. What a messed up administration.

21 days before the 25th anniversary of September 11th, the United States imposes 50% tariffs on the country that gave its citizens refuge during the worst terrorist attack in US history.

Bill Cassidy, who lost his reelection bid to a Trump-backed primary challenger, says he will vote to confirm Todd Blanche for Attorney General. I can't think of a more disgraceful way to close out your Congressional tenure than by rubber-stamping this dangerous Trump crony.

Since Trump's inauguration, defense tech companies linked to his sons have generated over $3.2B in direct government business and $3.1B in future contract options. Call this what it is: corruption.
