Tell Congress: No money for Trump’s ballroom or ICE detention

  THE DEBT AND DEFICIT ARE EXPLODING DUE TO THE BIG BEAUTIFUL  DISASTER!  WE CAN'T AFFORD TRUMP'S VANITY PROJECTS!  LET'S TAKE CARE OF AMERICANS FIRST: PROVIDE HEALTH CARE  AND RESTORE FOOD FUNDING! Congress is moving forward with a budget bill that would meet Trump’s vain and cruel demands: Trump wants to spend  $1 billion of your taxpayer dollars on a gaudy new ballroom  to replace the East Wing of the White House which he illegally demolished And he wants   another $70 billion to pay for more ICE detentions and Border Patrol agents   which will undoubtedly lead to more violence in our communities We’re seeing even some Republican members of Congress express skepticism about parts of this bill. The ballroom funding in particular is such a visible symbol of Trump’s wastefulness and self-interest, so out-of-touch with what people all across the country are experiencing, that some Republicans could even oppose it. This disastrous budget bill i...

Today in Politics, Bulletin 382. 5/18/26 Ron Filipkowski May 18    … Trump and his criminal defense lawyer now AG   Todd Blanche  orchestrated the most corrupt and repulsive scheme in the history of the US government today, forcing hardworking, law-abiding taxpayers to pay $1.7 BILLION to J6 thugs and criminals who beat up cops to storm the Capitol, and Trump’s co-conspirators who attempted to steal the 2020 election. … Meidas reporter  Scott Macfarlane : “Justice Dept confirms it is establishing $1.776 billion fund ‘for victims of lawfare and weaponization to be heard and seek redress’. Fund will have 5 members and ‘issue formal apologies and monetary relief owed to claimants’.” … DOJ: “Fund will consist of a Commission of 5 members appointed by the Attorney General. One Member will be chosen in consultation with congressional leadership. The President can remove any member." … We have certainly seen many egregious instances of public corruption among govt off...

Rxan Smith Uncomfortable

  I send this post to as many people as I can so they can fully understand exactly the question you asked.. here are your reps… amongst the 38% of elected officials in this country that do not run unopposed…. And the ones that do have opponents, gerrymander the district so bad that real change isn't possible. They operate with a 15% approval rate, and an 85% reincumbent reelection rate. The post will be informative and if we start talking about this.. all of us. Americans will Unite over the unfairness and hypocrisy of this system https://uncomfortable.rxansmithmedia.com/p/the-house-always-wins-you-do-not

  Hi there, It’s Monday. While the Supreme Court protected the access to mifepristone by mail, dissents written by Alito and Thomas reveal the next phase of the abortion rights fight — arguing the Comstock Act, passed in 1873, prohibits the mailing of abortion medication. A look into how Trump’s Iran War is depleting the American military, and on board Air Force One, Donald Trump accused a  New York Times  reporter of “treason” for covering the cost of the Iran War. Donald Trump’s escalating attacks on journalists and news organizations are not just political rhetoric—they are direct assaults on freedom of the press. When a president uses the language of punishment and betrayal against the press, it threatens one of the core protections of democracy. Yet too much media coverage treats these attacks as spectacle, personality conflict, or another chapter in Trump’s feud with reporters rather than confronting the broader danger. 🖊️ Add your name to call on major news organ...
