As a hedge fund owner, Scott Bessent avoided over $900K in Medicare taxes by exploiting a major loophole.
As Treasury Secretary, he now oversees the IRS — which has backed away from closing the loophole since Trump took office.

Wait, so maybe it’s GOOD to have an EPA that looks out for public health and the environment?

The DOJ's "election monitoring" is really voter suppression
Trump's Big Lie has become government policy.

He’s taking healthcare away from 15 million Americans and making it unaffordable for 22 million more
And using the shutdown as an excuse to deprive up to 42 million citizens-including children-of SNAP benefits
Yet is on the verge of directing the DOJ to pay him $230 million
It’s just so lawless

ICE has increased its spending on weapons by 700% since Trump took office.
You read that right — SEVEN HUNDRED PERCENT.
Trump is building his own personal military to terrorize American cities, trample on civil rights, and intimidate his opponents.

Just when you thought they couldn’t possibly stoop any lower …
Earlier this year, we published an article headlined “10 Ways to Enrich the Trumps and the MAGA Movement.”
We failed, though, to consider that the president might simply force the US government, i.e. us taxpayers, to straight-up pay him hundreds of millions of dollars. Our bad.

Report: Trump demands taxpayers hand him $230 million
Is it still "ridiculous that anyone would even suggest" that he's cashing in?

Wowww.
I knew Fox News was theater. I just didn't realize it was a repertory theater that recycles actors for different roles.
You'd think a company that had to pay $787,000,000 for deceiving its viewers would be a little more careful about blatantly continuing the practice.
