Re: the ballroom

Image
  In case you've been wondering: Yes, Donald Trump is still tearing up the White House to build himself a gold-encrusted ballroom. Despite the fact that a federal judge has already found that Trump likely doesn't have the legal authority to do this. His construction crew continues digging, demolishing, and pouring concrete while the courts sort it out. And don’t forget, Republicans tried to slip $1 billion in taxpayer money into an ICE funding bill to cover costs tied to this ballroom for Trump to wine and dine his donors.

You gave me the time to read a lot of files and primary documents this week instead of somebody’s summary of them. Thank you for that. The worst of them was a federal contract record. Other outlets covered that contract and stopped at the dollar figure. Sitting in it: the word “urgency,” the regime’s own written reason for skipping competitive bidding on a $244 million contract to represent children in immigration court. An emergency it manufactured. If you want to push further—a gift subscription puts the next edition in somebody’s inbox tomorrow morning, and founding members cover the weeks when the investigations run deep. What The Trump Regime Filed At 9:04 On Friday Night Plus: A judge just saved 116,000 votes. Every major doctors’ group told Trump no. And he left Turkey in a catering truck.
