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?

Oh dear you’re going to want to read this. Looks like DOGErs were caught exfiltrating NLRB data, likely on unions, for private (seemingly Elony) use. This is must read. What we’ve all suspected. But now details. www.npr.org/2025/04/15/n...
A whistleblower's disclosure details how DOGE may have taken sensitive labor data

America, you f**ked up!
She warned us. She had a plan that would have benefited everyday Americans. But too many ignored her—because it was never really about the economy.
Now folks are scared, struggling—and we’re cooked.
