The Department of Homeland Security has tapped $20 million to pay for the campaign-style ads glorifying President Donald Trump that have drawn widespread criticism from Republicans and Democrats as a blatant misuse of taxpayer dollars that likely runs afoul of anti-propaganda law. (AP News)
House lawmakers spent $6.7 million of taxpayer money on meals and lodging last year — a 21 percent increase over 2024 — under a reimbursement program that doesn’t require them to provide receipts, a Washington Post analysis found. (The Washington Post)
Our money- those of us who pay taxes, those of us who pay our fair share of taxes, those of us who are not politicians, or a part of the Trump Reich. Be it a Ballroom, a Triumphant Arch, a Golf Course in DC, and now propaganda ads and slush fund money for politicians to party, we the people seem to have less and less of a voice in how our tax dollars are being spent, as more and more of our tax dollars are being spent on the whims and wishes of Trump and Congress.
Taxation without Representation- remember when the 13 colonies decided that the British Monarchy had no right to take out money, all the while denying us less and less of a vote to decide how, where, and why our money was being spent? It was called the Revolutionary War.
But here we are 250 years older, not wiser, not wealthier, but once again being played the fool by a government and its officials who consider us CHUMPS, and use our money as CHUMP CHANGE
