Pay to Play in 3 acts:

Act I: Trump illegally demolishes WH East Wing

Act II: Corporations "donate" $400M to build ballroom

Act III: Trump admin gifts donors with $50B in new government funding

In any other country, the State Department would sanction a government for this.

President Donald Trump has repeatedly touted the gifts as a boon to taxpayers, but critics of the project say the administration’s refusal to release a full list of donors creates the potential for corruption.

Nothing says “Make America Healthy Again” like cutting foreign aid programs that would prevent flesh-eating insects like these from infesting our livestock and making us sick.

A case of flesh-eating New World screwworm has been detected in South Texas, the US Department of Agriculture said Wednesday. It is the first time this parasitic fly – whose larvae feed exclusively on the tissue of warm-blooded animals – has been detected in US livestock in decades.

This is dangerous for our national security.

Instead of starting costly new wars, Trump should focus on doing the basics.

More than 100 ambassador posts are unfilled, including key postings in the Middle East, South Asia, and Europe.

Roughly 2,000 U.S. diplomats have been laid off or forced to retire, taking with them decades of institutional knowledge, crisis response experience and highly specialized language skills.

Each day Trump’s war of choice drags on is another day American troops are in harm’s way, everyday Americans pay more at the gas pump, and billions more tax dollars are diverted from healthcare to bombs.

Trump: “I couldn’t care less.”

Disgraceful.

President Trump spoke with CNBC's Eamon Javers about the latest with the Iran war in an interview Monday.

Our government has a responsibility to help Americans abroad.

The US already has domestic facilities specifically designed to safely care for Ebola patients.

The Trump admin should bring Americans home and help them, not outsource that responsibility to a foreign government.

RM Gregory Meeks: Wishing Colombia a peaceful, democratic election process as voters head to the polls and exercise their fundamental rights this weekend. I look forward to working with whomever is ultimately elected by the Colombian people to advance the US-Colombia partnership.

Colombians are set to vote on ‌Sunday in what is likely the first round of a presidential election, amid deep polarization between those seeking continuity with the leftist government and those pushing for a shift to restore security and economic growth.

Trump and Rubio destroyed USAID, defunded US global health programs, and withdrew the US from the WHO—while MAGA loyalists continue to mismanage the CDC.

The inevitable outcomes are a global community more susceptible to disease outbreaks and a surge in preventable deaths.

If the illegal dismantling of USAID wasn't enough—the admin is now mismanaging the closure of the agency, wasting millions of taxpayer dollars and jilting US companies in the process.

This is from an admin that promised transparency and accountability.

House Democrats are demanding answers.

In a letter to the Trump administration official in charge of shutting down USAID, two Democratic lawmakers demanded answers about delays and mismanagement.
