Would 150 jail cells, 300 extra cops, 200 doctors, 200 ER beds, or 300 new classrooms really have been a worse use of $100 million than another cheque to a territory still run by a listed terrorist group? Asking for every taxpayer who just watched the announcement. 🚔🏥🏫🔒💸

The #Ballroom Boondoggle has blown some $300m in our #TaxDollars so far according to an internal cost tally from the #WhiteHouse contractor seen by #WaPo. The project is at $600m and counting and has already run $200 million more in expenses than #Drumpf has claimed publicly, and of course it is nowhere near finished and currently stalled under court challenges.

#NYTimes details million$ of US #TaxDollars spent wastefully in rush to open massive contractor configured 5000 detainee #ICE camp near #ElPaso #Texas.
At least three detainee #deaths have occurred since opening, including one being investigated as a #homicide, not suicide as gov initially said. In February, two dozen members of #Congress wrote a letter to #DHS, asking agency to shut the camp, citing fatalities, sewage problems, poor meals and a lack of detainee legal aid.
In April, ICE itself reported dozens of #violations of national standards at the facility, including instances of illness and improperly documented uses of force.

Today so far: watched a few #PBSEons with Wee Trail, went to a #citypool that cost basically peanuts for us both for as long as we could handle the shrieks of delighted children cherrybombing, and dropped a truckload of hazardous household chemicals at a city drop site for free. Public services make life better. #albuquerque #taxdollars #pbs

Over a dozen #California cities including #SanFrancisco & #SanJose sue #DJT administration over threats to cut civic access to #Federal #TaxDollars to fund govt operations. Most cities involved have local #SanctuaryCity ordinances refusing to assist #ICE & #BorderPatrol with deportations of targeted immigrants. #SJ claims it receives approx 1/3rd of operational funds from #FederalTaxDollars

Don't think this #PoliceState #surveillance will be limited to #TorontoPD. If you don't pay attention & don't fight against more #fascism & #AbuseOfPower #AbuseOfAuthority - funded by your own #TaxDollars - more #police departments across #Canada will try to do the same shit.
Make more noise against resisting this shit.
Don't trust or tolerate any POS bootlickers.

@thehill He’s a confederate and a disgusting human. #KevinMcCarthy is a #laughingstock and has not passed one single important bill for Americans that would ever passed the Senate. He keeps putting these faux bills on the floor and making a big deal about them when they will sit on his self and die. They will never become law! The #useless #118Congress is wasting our time and #millions of out #taxdollars #Shame on #Kevin
Bernie Sanders and Jamaal Bowman are attempting to shift U.S. policy toward defending Palestinian rights rather than backing encroachments on their land.

I seriously think she should be visiting #FirstNations communities across #Canada instead of using our #TaxDollars to fly across the world to talk to other #Indigenous ppl! We have tons of wisdoms available from #Native elders, matriarchs, youths & activists - right here, in Canada. If she can't help domestic #FirstPeoples - zero faith she'll do much to help any others globally either.
