Why is Donald Trump in the Gulf again? Because that's where the money is. For himself and his family.

He and his kids are making lucrative private deals and getting lavish gifts from gulf Emirs - and taxpayers are left holding the bag.

Trump is making his first term grifting seem quaint "Whether it’s the memecoin or stablecoin, there are a bunch of levers people can pull to directly enrich the president."

During his first term, Trump owned and profited from Trump-branded hotels, including one located just blocks from the WH, where companies and foreign governments lined his pockets.

It was an unprecedented level of presidential corruption. And it seems quaint compared to what’s happening right now.

Cameron Hamilton, the acting head of FEMA, has been pushed out as DOGE moves to disband the entire agency. It’s looking like RIP FEMA.

This maniac Felon told NBC that if Iran does not immediately agree to a nuclear deal there will be “BOMBING THE LIKES THEY HAVE NEVER SEEN BEFORE!” Remember, he pulled out of a nuclear deal in 2016 negotiated by Obama. They are now days or weeks from having nuclear weapons!
IRAN JUST RESPONDED!

Because DOGE has shut down USAID's payment system (Phoenix), our housing
electricity and the electricity in our USAID building have not been paid for. Mission
leadership has informed us that the only reason our electricity is on is because we've
asked for an extension from the electric company. The Mission asked for a waiver but
because our payment system is down, the Treasury has no way to issue money to USAID
and State Department representatives here are hesitant to make payments on our behalf
for fear of not being reimbursed.
7. Once the electricity goes out in our homes, we lose access to our security cameras and
radios. Again, I live in a high-risk post, so access to security systems is very important to
me.
8. I have been told by Mission leadership that the cell phone and internet bills are due this
week with no way to pay them. This is despite the so-called "waiver" process that has
been allegedly implemented to preserve such access.
9. Our cell phones and radios are also the only way to communicate with the Regional
Security Office about security threats. We have access to no other USAID security
systems.

The agency is also considering spending about $25,000 to install a washer and dryer on the building’s 6th floor, according to a Feb. 25 invoice obtained by POLITICO. There is also a child’s play area decorated with a stuffed animal and toys, according to a photo of the room shared with POLITICO.

“People are definitely … sleeping there,” said one GSA staffer.

DOGE cut off payments for the electricity, cell phone, and internet service of U.S. government employees who work in a high-risk area in Central America.

Meanwhile, DOGE apparently plans to spend $25,000 to install a washer and dryer for their own personal use in a federal office building in DC.

As of today, a new term has entered our language. A “rubio” is a spineless lump of nothing. Example: Don’t be such a rubio.

America's HELL Corporations It is long past time we grapple with the violence imposed on Americans from our exploitative for-profit health exploitation system

As Mangione enters court, a reminder that in just the 30 days after he allegedly killed Brian Thompson, America's for-profit health exploitation corps enabled the preventable death of ~6000 people.

When do the CEOs who knowingly enabled these deaths stand trial? www.qasimrashid.com/p/americas-h...
