Donald Trump, the developer: Tear down a historic building for a project that the public didn’t want or approve. Triple the initial price tag. Make taxpayers foot the bill after promising they wouldn’t.
The Washington Post

Exclusive: Trump told reporters on March 31 that the ballroom project would be "taxpayer-free." But documents obtained by The Post show the contractor estimated the cost at $600M — weeks before Trump's comments, and with more than half of the cost coming from taxpayers. https://wapo.st/4otu32O

The Trump administration's newest corruption scheme just dropped. Kash Patel may be using the FBI's budget as his personal slush fund to pay agents tens of thousands of dollars in exchange for carrying out illegal orders, or as hush money to keep quiet about what they witnessed.
Kash Patel may have a 'personal slush fund' of taxpayer dollars to pay loyalist agents, says Raskin
Rep. Jamie Raskin is demanding documents from the FBI director, citing claims that $8,000 payments are made to agents who carry out “unlawful partisan and personal orders.”

Wow. Iran gets sanctions relief, the release of frozen funds, the ability to export oil, and a $300 billion reconstruction fund. The U.S. gets a reiteration of the vague promise Iran won’t develop a nuke. Hard to imagine a more thorough capitulation.
Read the 14-Point Draft Memorandum Between the US and Iran
The US and Iran are expected to formally sign a memorandum of understanding on June 19 in Switzerland, paving the way for 60 days of talks aimed at ending their war for good and putting strict new lim...

Binance has repeatedly routed millions to Iran-backed proxy groups while also being a key backer of Trump’s crypto profiteering. I am demanding answers into Binance’s role in violating sanctions laws — and its business entanglements with the Trump family.

Sean Astin, the National President of SAG-AFTRA, and I are committed to keeping film production in California, and protecting the people that bring magic to our screens!

One year after gutting California’s ability to set its own clean air standards, the administration is once again hellbent on killing EV’s and allowing more tailpipe emissions. 🧵

My heart is broken for the families of the servicemembers involved in this devastating crash today at Edwards Air Force Base, and I join all of California in mourning this tragic loss of life. We hold their families in our prayers.

Eight people aboard a B-52 bomber that crashed shortly after takeoff Monday morning at a U.S. Air Force base in Southern California’s Mojave Desert are believed to be dead, according to the Air Force.

After spending about a billion tax dollars a day on his illegal war with Iran, Trump is now agreeing to a $300 BILLION Iran reconstruction fund? The more we learn about this “deal,” the worse it becomes.

CBS: The Iranians are saying they're gonna have access to a $300 billion reconstruction fund. True or false? JD VANCE: That's the sort of things they could have access to so long as they honor their end of the obligation

The President’s abuse of the Justice Department continues, with new targets every day. The Governor won't be silenced. Nor will my Senate colleagues. Nor will I. In the face of vindictive and baseless investigations, we are defiant and unbowed.

BREAKING: California Gov. Gavin Newsom says Donald Trump has directed the Justice Department to investigate him and his wife, alleging federal agents have been knocking on the doors of family, friends, and former employees

There is something terribly wrong about an economy that produces its first trillionaire, but cannot provide health care for its people. Or one in which the richest handful of families have the combined wealth of almost forty percent of the rest of the country.

Elon Musk’s net worth of $1.1 trillion is five million times as large as that of the typical family. The median American household had a net worth of just under $200,000 in 2022, the year with the most recent data available from the Federal Reserve. nyti.ms/4aL8sNH

I’m the first Senator from California to sit on the Agriculture Committee in 30 years, despite California being the biggest agricultural state in the country. So when the Ag Secretary comes to testify, I get ready by reflecting on the farmers and farmworkers I’ve met and the stories they’ve shared.
Sen. Adam Schiff@schiff.senate.govJun 12(source)
Another rubber stamp by this administration, and the stakes couldn’t be higher. At issue: Californian film industry jobs and the regional economy, consumer choices and increased streaming fees, media consolidation and the First Amendment, and the foreign actors funding this deal.
