According to a new analysis, Trump has talked about his ballroom vanity project on a third of the days in 2026 — about as much as he has discussed health insurance and “affordability.”
Since he's so determined to bring it up all the time, let's take a look at how corrupt this project really is.

I firmly believe presidents & people with control over medical agencies should understand percentages!
If *you* don’t, no judgment; I will explain in the next couple posts how they work. The short version is that Senator Warren is correct in the clip, and there’s NO interpretation in which RFKJr is
I can’t say how happy I am that the Alaska Division of Elections is getting sued for handing over our voter information. I’m saddened that Alaskans will pay the price for the terrible judgment of Lt Governor Nancy Dahlstrom and Carol Beecher with the help of Acting AG Cox. #akleg
The US Secretary of the Navy, John Phelan, a businessman and art collector who has never served in the military, flew at least twice on Epstein's plane with Jean-Luc Brunel, and got his job by donating millions to Trump's campaign is apparently stepping down. No word on why yet.
If you haven’t done this yet, please do—it only takes a second, and it’s super important!!

Keep your heads up @splcunion.bsky.social. Thank you for your important work.
I just voted for the FIFTH time to end the war in Iran.
Gas prices are still surging, this conflict threatens to plunge us into a global economic crisis, and America is not any safer.
Yet Republicans refuse to put a check on this out-of-control President.

Earth Day reminder that Trump’s EPA rolled back regulations governing clean air, water, wildlife, and toxic chemicals.
He’s pushed to open public lands to drilling and mining.
And he’s gutted clean energy programs while promoting dirty fossil fuels.
He’s a danger to our planet and our health.
Tuesday’s redistricting decision by Virginia has been depicted as an escalation of the redistricting “arms race” between red and blue states. It is not.
This isn’t a race to the bottom. It’s a means of avoiding the bottom. Some thoughts... robertreich.substack.com/p/when-they-go-low-we-go
Lot of people on the right crying about the Virginia redistricting vote.
We told you this would happen while you were celebrating the illegal off-cycle seat grab in Texas.
Stop playing stupid games if you don’t want to win stupid prizes.
WARREN: So those massive discounts--
RFK Jr: Massive. 600 percent
WARREN: 600 percent! They can pay hundreds of dollars on TrumpRx or they can get it for $12 as Costco
The most interesting thing about April 21st is:
Why haven’t all the Epstein Files been released yet???
#EpsteinFiles
RFK Jr: "President Trump has a different way of calculating percentages. If you have a $600 drug and you reduce it to $10, that's a 600% reduction."
Important to watch!
Realistically, the choice is never between science and human spaceflight. They're budgeted separately, and championed by different interests, which is why the NASA science budget specifically is being cut and spaceflight specifically isn't.
This is your periodic reminder that Democrats introduced legislation in 2021 to ban gerrymandering nationwide and every republican voted against it except two who were absent.
The Texas legislature rammed through a gerrymandering bill at the request of Trump.
Virginia actually voted in favor of redistricting to counterbalance what Texas and other Republican-controlled states have done.
Yet only one is considered a "power grab."
Oligarch-owned media in a nutshell.
The acting head of the CDC has canceled publication of a study showing the Covid vaccine sharply cut hospitalizations and emergency visits last winter.
BENNET: Do you agree that 89% of children who died from flu were unvaccinated?
RFK Jr: I don't know the exact number
BENNET: That is the exact number, Secretary Kennedy
RFK Jr: *death growls*
BENNET: You took down the HHS communications promoting the flu vaccine. Do you regret that?
What do Levi’s, Hanes, and Chewy have in common?
California AG Rob Bonta just revealed evidence alleging that Amazon used its power to pressure them, and countless other brands, to inflate prices of listings on rival online marketplaces as part of wide-ranging price-fixing scheme.
I also want to shout @lataco.bsky.social's great feature on the organizing in Monterey Park, aptly titled "How to Stop a Data Center in Your Backyard":
"They went door-to-door to tell their neighbors what the city had not told them: The data center would use twice as much electricity as all of Monterey Park."
The city’s notification in English reached only 40 people living within 500 feet. Activists worked in English, Chinese, Spanish & more!
Are the women back there somewhere? Yes, I think I see them.
LUTNICK: It is outrageous that Canada will not put US spirits on the shelf. It is insulting and disrespectful to America
SHAHEEN: They won't do it because of the insults from this president and comments like yours
Morning friends. There are still those amongst us that need to wake up.
Remember, Democrats have repeatedly advanced measures to ban partisan gerrymandering and Republicans have voted against them time after time.
This is the game Republicans wanted to play. OK, then.
