I'm calling for an investigation into whether President Trump manipulated the market to benefit his Wall Street donors—all while working people and small businesses paid the price.
Did Trump help insiders cash in on his tariff flip-flopping? It sure looks like corruption.

"I'm writing to the White House to demand who knew in advance that the President was going to, once again, flip flop on tariffs. And are people cashing in? There is just all too much opportunity for people in the White House and the administration to be insider trading"

It was always about personal profit
SpaceX just landed a $5.92B contract with the Pentagon for Space Force rocket launches — the largest contract among the three firms who secured deals to send satellites into orbit.

“Shitshow is an understatement for what just happened at the CDC,” a former CDC staffer tells Rolling Stone.
Rolling Stone spoke with several current and former staffers about the layoffs and the impact they will have on Americans for years to come.

More accurate, fewer words;
"There are plenty of contractors going under".
A friend furloughed 75% of staff (furlough w/paying for health insurance for three months), 50% exec pay cut, 25% rest of staff to keep as many people w/salary.
PS: Wasn't 18F a government office, not a contractor.

It is going to take real depths of expertise to address specific initiatives--like the potential court martial of military leaders for their role in the Afghan withdrawal or the proposed round up of millions of undocumented immigrants or gutting specific agencies or targeting opposition leaders.
