The White House reportedly wants to recruit corporate sponsors for its annual Easter Egg Roll.
The financial backers could spend as much as $200,000 on a "sponsorship" and gain exclusive access to the Oval Office.

Elon Musk's PACs have spent over $13M backing Trump loyalist Brad Schimel in Wisconsin's Supreme Court race.
If Schimel wins, the court could uphold a total abortion ban, attacks on unions, and gerrymandered maps — and change state law to benefit Tesla.
Follow the money.

They fired key cybersecurity staff protecting VA.gov —leaving millions of Veterans’ medical & personal records exposed.
This isn’t efficiency. It’s reckless and dangerous.
