President Trump bought between $1 million and $5 million in debt issued by SpaceX just days before the White House announced a new space-travel policy, the president’s latest financial disclosure form shows.

Trump gets asked the one obvious question, why push mail voting if it’s fraud, and answers with California and “you are fake news.” Where’s the evidence? Never there. He just dares reporters to quit asking. Don’t let it slide. Use your power. Vote. #CostOfTrumpsCorruption

I’m so f*cking sick of the corruption in this administration. Trump’s ambassador to Greece, Kimberly Guilfoyle, pressured a MAGA donor to pay off $100,000 in credit card debt while offering access to Trump officials. And she wanted it done without a paper trail. #CostOfTrumpsCorruption

Done? It's the administration, billionaires, and MAGA on the ballot, not Trump. Easy to be "done" when he's no longer an option. The real question is if Bos and so many folks in his shoes right now are "done" with the entire anti-democracy regime and their efforts to create a desperate workforce.
