Rumors aren't facts. But last fall the Finance/DC corridor was awash in chatter that bribes and cash payments were flying fast and furious. Given the nature of this crew, essentially zero chance Homan was alone in this.
“The target repeatedly brought up Homan, saying he was collecting bribes in exchange for future government contracts, the two sources told Reuters.”
Trump aide Homan accepted $50,000 in bribery sting operation, sources say
In the alleged scheme, Homan promised immigration-related government contracts when he joined the Trump administration in exchange for the money.

This is a real photograph of Washington, DC this week, where the United States president has ordered military occupation in peacetime, and ordered the display of colossal portraits of himself.

Nobody likes waste. But what a lot of people don’t realize is that, in many ways, government is *designed* to be inefficient. It’s structured with redundancy and complexity both for audit and control purposes and because it tries to satisfy multiple competing societal goals. 1/2
btw i dont think anybody is arguing that we should cut waste what is being argued by sane ppl is that what elon trump and the gop are doing isnt that they are cutting things they dont like arbitrarily without any oversight or ya know legally
