READ THIS🚨 From a ballroom, to a birthday parade: New reports say Trump has devoted $1.6 BILLION in taxpayer money to fund his self-serving vanity projects.
That’s 620 times what the average American earns in a lifetime.
Americans are struggling to make ends meet, and Trump is treating them as his personal ATM.
NEW ANALYSIS: Since the start of his second term, President Donald Trump’s administration has spent or plans to spend at least $1.6 billion in public funding on vanity projects. ampr.gs/4kdyUoM

🧵 Across the political spectrum, Americans are concerned about the health and safety of their families. (1/3)
ALT An infographic on a dark purple background patterned with microscopic cell-like or chemical bubble structures. Large white text reads: "84% of adults are concerned about daily exposure to harmful chemicals and agree that the government 'needs to do more.'" The bottom corner features the "Center for American Progress" logo and cites a 2026 report titled "You Are What You Eat: An Alternative to MAHA for Healthy Food and Fewer Chemicals".
Simply put, corporate industry wields too much power over the regulatory system—and political leaders for decades have ignored these problems. It is time to remove political and industry interference from scientific health recommendations once and for all. (2/3)

✅ Prevented or minimized layoffs from automation or outsourcing
✅ Secured employment protection and retraining benefits

NEW REPORT: CAP’s science-based plan would remove corporate and political influence from regulatory agencies, guarantee food safety, protect Americans from harmful chemicals in everyday products, and empower families to make healthy choices. ampr.gs/4z1z72X
Auto-individual retirement account plans are a good first step toward ensuring all workers have retirement savings, but most states do not offer such programs. Congress can build on state auto-IRA programs to make meaningful steps toward greater retirement security. ampr.gs/4itGhaj
