If the farmers in Wisconsin thought Trump was going to come to your state and talk about solutions to the problems and issues you are facing right now, you were sorely mistaken. Because Trump doesn’t give a fuck about you. Never has never will. He wants your vote and money.

Ohio gave Meta, Google, and Amazon a sales tax break for data centers. It was supposed to cost $136 million in 2025. It cost $1.6 billion. Gov. DeWine vetoed the legislature's attempt to end it, insisting the tax exemption is needed to lure data center developers. signalohio.org/ohio-data-ce...

History repeats
Two-panel political comparison graphic. The top panel shows Adolf Hitler and Nazi officials gathered together in a black-and-white historical photo. Overlaid text reads: “1933 — Hitler creates the ‘Fund of German Trade and Industry’ slush fund to funnel millions to his allies within the Nazi Party, including SS members and SA stormtroopers.”

The bottom panel shows Donald Trump speaking at a podium with Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Overlaid text reads: “2026 — Trump creates ‘anti-weaponization’ slush fund to funnel $1.8B to his allies, including J6 rioters and Proud Boys, who claim they were ‘targeted.’” The image is designed to draw a political comparison between the two administrations.
