How much money is Donald Trump really making off the Presidency? David D. Kirkpatrick spent months tallying up how much the Trump family has pocketed off Trump’s time in the White House—golf course by golf course, crypto deal by crypto deal.
How Much Is Trump Profiting Off the Presidency?
A comprehensive estimate of how much Trump and his family are making, from hotel mega-deals to crypto schemes, has been elusive—until now.

While folks were wrapping up their weekends, House Republicans were sneaking through Trump’s tax scam—one that slashes Medicaid, cuts food assistance, and makes the rich richer.

If this bill passes all the way through, 13.7 million people will lose their healthcare coverage.

Pete Hegseth is a f*cking liar. This is so clearly classified info he recklessly leaked that could’ve gotten our pilots killed.

He needs to resign in disgrace immediately.

Much of the media's attention is focused on what harm Pete Hegseth's reckless irresponsibility might do to him, when it should be focused on what harm it could have done to our troops--and *will* do to our relationships with allies, especially in Europe.

I was ripped to shreds on #CNN for standing up for the safety of the American military before Hegseth was hired. Told I was a “disgrace” who should be “ashamed of myself”, berated through the commercial break and threatened with defamation. Look where we are now.

Pete is rightfully enraged, as we all are! I’m so thankful for his clear and strong take on this.
Damn, I miss the Biden administration and competence so f’king much! 😫

Remember: Almost all of us are the descendants of immigrants who fled persecution, or were brought to America under duress, or sought better lives for themselves and their descendants.

Politicians who stoke fear and hatred over immigration want you to forget this.

Do not.

AOC: One thing I love about Arizonans is that you all have shown that if a US Senator isn’t fighting hard enough for you, you’re not afraid to replace her with one who will.

We've had a lot of recessions, but this is the first one that is completely unforced and entirely owed to just one person. What part of Trump promising "lower prices on day one" meant a market crash, economic recession, and surging prices?
