Blue Tsunami 2026 🌊 🌊 🌊

Daily reminder that some of the deepest Medicaid cuts in Trump and Republicans' Big Ugly Bill start hitting families at the beginning of 2027, just weeks from now. They timed the worst of it to land after the midterms. When Democrats take the gavels in January, one of our very first votes will be to reverse those cuts and restore the ACA tax credits that kept premiums affordable for millions of families.

Months after a fund tied to Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump put about $30 million into a nearly bankrupt spa company, the Trump administration awarded that company nearly $40 million in federal contracts to screen for Ebola. The company made most of its money from airport spas and waxing salons. It had never worked with Ebola. It had never worked overseas. Yet part of the money is for work in the Democratic Republic of Congo, where Ebola has killed more than 5,000 people this year. The company's CEO said, "I'm not sure we can do it." This keeps happening. The same Trump-linked fund invested in a drone company, and five months later that company got an Air Force contract worth up to $90 million. A startup linked to Trump Jr. got a $620 million Pentagon loan after a top White House aide stepped in. Their fund buys in, and federal money follows. Taxpayers foot the bill, and with Ebola, our safety is on the line too. This is all totally corrupt. Americans deserve answers under oath, and our conflict of interest and procurement laws must be enforced. propublica.org/article/trump…

Jensen Huang just resigned and the trail leads straight to the White House. Secretary Rubio reportedly warned Trump about Huang’s affair with a Chinese spy on Air Force One in May, before Huang boarded for the China trip. Trump brought him along anyway, and now says he was never told. Somebody isn’t telling the truth, and Congress shouldn’t stop until we know exactly what happened. Keeping American technology out of Beijing’s hands should be something every one of us can get behind.

Donald Trump told you the ballroom would not cost taxpayers a dime. He told you donors were covering it. He even claimed the builders offered to do it for free. None of that was true. New reporting shows the White House secretly handed out a no-bid contract worth up to $500 million. They routed the deal through the Executive Residence office, the one that normally buys White House furniture and art, because it is exempt from the competitive bidding rules every other federal agency has to follow. They even claimed disclosing the project would compromise national security. The cost estimate has already tripled, from $200 million to $600 million, with half of it landing on taxpayers. The contractor stands to clear tens of millions in profit. A federal judge already ruled the president has no authority to demolish the East Wing and build this thing. He is doing it anyway. This is your money, spent in secret, on a vanity project, with the rules deliberately dodged. More corruption, plain and simple. wapo.st/4vWKurH
