The administration is hiding who is paying for Trump’s gilded ballroom.
 
And many of the big donors giving Trump money have a reason to … they want the administration’s signoff on their deals.
 
This is corruption, plain and simple.
NEW: The WH did not disclose several donors to the ballroom who have business before Trump:
▶️Jeff Yass, investor in TikTok parent company: $2.5m+ to ballroom
▶️BlackRock, trying to buy Panama Canal ports: $2.5m+
▶️Extremity Care, Medicare reimbursement issues: $2.5m
▶️Vantive, Medicare reimbursement

I don't know if this is being reported, but in Ventura County, peaceful protesters met by masked men firing tear gas and rubber bullets. I don't even have words for the horror. In other cities across the area, military vehicles are parked to intimidate and cause fear. www.latimes.com/california/s...

Protesters blocked the roads in and out of one of the farms and at one point federal agents drove their vehicles through the fields.
