Trump gets: $5 billion in crypto deals, a $400 million plane, a $300 million ballroom, millions in deals from Facebook, Amazon, CBS.
Everyone else gets: higher prices for health care, electricity, and groceries.

Virginia House Majority went from 51-49 to 64-36 Democratic majority. More than sufficient to follow Cali’s lead and vote to redistrict and help counter what I call the Texas Fucku-Step.

This is urgent, and the fact it's NOT being covered on the news as urgent? Oof.
So, China pulled a pretty big move earlier this month re: Trump: www.bbc.com/news/article...
