Boom. Ted Lieu with facts: “Trump ordered the release of 2 billion gallons of water that almost flooded farmland…this water was saved for the farmers for summer when they need it. Trump wasted all this water that isn’t even reaching LA for a PR stunt.”

If $8 MILLION ($44k from USAID) to Politico makes Elon furious, then he should be completely unhinged about this corruption, right? 1) Fisher Sand & Gravel (Border Wall Construction): Trump’s administration awarded them $2 BILLION in contracts after Trump personally pressured officials to choose Fisher—whose CEO is a Republican megadonor. 2) Lockheed Martin (Military Weapons): Paid $45 BILLION by the government in 2019 alone—then funneled $450,000 to elect 91 Republicans, many of whom denied the 2020 election results. 3) Boeing (Military Equipment): Pocketed $100 BILLION in federal contracts and spent $455,000 helping elect 68 Republicans who objected to Biden’s win—while dropping $13.4 MILLION lobbying for right-leaning policies. 4) Palantir (Defense & Intelligence Data): Landed a $1 BILLION government contract in 2022, then turned around and donated $1 MILLION to Trump’s “Make America Great Again, Inc.” Super PAC and sent another $340,000 to the RNC. 5) CoreCivic Inc. (Private Prisons): Received $450 MILLION in federal contracts—while directing 97.9% of its political contributions to Republicans, including direct donations to Trump’s fundraising committees. 6) The GEO Group (Private Prisons): ICE handed them $1 BILLION, and in return, GEO maxed out corporate PAC donations to Trump in 2024. They also spend $1.25 MILLION+ annually lobbying for strict immigration enforcement and private detention policies—Republican-backed priorities.
