Wow. the sticker price new of the plane Trump is getting as a bribe is over $400 million. Big even compared to Trump's other bribes.

🚨BREAKING NEWS: Congressman John Garamendi tells Call to Activism that Republicans are pushing a $150 BILLION slush fund for Trump and Pete Hegseth to use at their discretion to "update” American missiles – with little oversight into how the money is spent and who profits.

In a hearing, Rep. Garamendi SLAPPED back: "Have we lost our minds? $150 billion out of the mouths of children who are not going to get a school lunch."Where is this money really going? This isn't defense — it's corruption in camouflage. The media needs to follow the money.

I really hope he primaries Fetterman:

Every senator and member of Congress should immediately and voluntarily disclose any stock, bond, or similar trades they have made in the last ten days.

The fact that neither party has passed legislation to stop insider trading for public officials is another example of how we have been creeping towards fascism for a very very long time and both parties didn't do enough to stop a single mad man from taking advantage of the road they paved.
