Immigration judges work for the Department of Justice, meaning the executive branch (Trump regime) can fire the ones who keep siding with detained immigrants. Which is exactly what happened here. Swap the judge, get the outcome you wanted. No hearing needed. #CostOfCorruption

Every president gets audited. Trump’s first-term audit started over two years late. Then Trump’s DOJ barred the IRS from auditing his past returns, family, and companies. Regular people can’t make the IRS go away. Neither should the guy running the country. #CostOfCorruption

Ruth Ben-Ghiat says a mafia state doesn’t arrive with one announcement. Trump attacks the press. He guts DOJ accountability. He pardons rich criminals in his orbit. Then corruption isn’t a bug in the system. It’s the system. And you pay for it. #CostOfCorruption

The rule of law doesn’t reboot after Trump. We must demand investigations and prosecutions for corrupt officials who got rich while Americans paid the price. Letting Trump’s crew walk tells the next crew they can loot, lie, and hurt people without consequences. #CostOfCorruption

Trump wants USPS to screen voters before it delivers absentee ballots. Because apparently corrupt Republicans can’t win without turning your mailbox into a federal permission slip. A judge blocked the plan. For now. Keep your eye on it. Your vote is the prize. #CostOfCorruption

Trump tried to make the Postal Service decide who gets an absentee ballot. A federal judge blocked it again after USPS finalized the rule. Good. Trump doesn’t get to use your mailbox as a checkpoint before you vote. Your ballot isn’t his to approve. #CostOfCorruption

No-bid contract for the Reflecting Pool. A Qatar jet for Trump’s library. Billions in Texas wall contracts to two firms. Trump treats public money, public land, and public office like party favors. You fund the government. His cronies cash the checks. #CostOfCorruption

Trump reported $1.4 billion from crypto ventures in 2025. One president. One year. Families count grocery money while corrupt Republicans call this leadership. The White House isn’t public service when Trump uses it like an ATM. We’re paying for the withdrawal. #CostOfCorruption
