🚨 BREAKING: Trump’s golf habit is bleeding taxpayers dry. His weekend golf trips have now cost $18.2 MILLION—all while he plays at his own resorts.

In just 7 weeks, he’s golfed 6 weekends straight. Americans struggle, but Trump’s living large—on your dime.

Here’s the deal: You don’t get to claim victory one day and dodge responsibility the next.

You’re the president—at least in name—and your party controls every branch of government.

This is all yours, Donald. Own it.

Only the body of water in red below is technically named Gulf of America since the other countries of Mexico and Cuba do not agree. The US only owns 200 miles (13 miles from shore) of the 600,000 nautical sq miles,… so the below map in red (not to scale) is giving more than the US deserves.

NEW DNC CHAIR @kenmartin.bsky.social Thank you from Iowa and the whole United States. Let's do this. Let's put on our boots and let's fight. Can I ask a favor? Can you push that no elected Democratic officials trade in stocks white elected. Can you imagine what a statement that would make?

A few things have been stopped by the judiciary so far. But don't be surprised when they get smart enough to figure out that they can write legislation giving Trump the power he needs to make these things happen. Keep your eyes open. This Republican legislature will give him whatever he wants.

1/ RFK Jr. wants to observe unvaccinated kids in Samoa as a “natural experiment.”

This is disturbingly similar to the Tuskegee Syphilis Experiment, where researchers let people suffer and die instead of treating them.

Let’s compare. ⬇️
