Trump’s corrupt effort to halt the opening of a new bridge

SCOOP: Less than 1 month before Trump came out against a new bridge connecting Michigan with Canada, the billionaire owner of an existing bridge donated $1M to the Trump-backed super PAC, MAGA Inc. with @matinastevis.bsky.social

Your daily bananas Trump corruption story:It's about a bridge connecting Michigan to Canada that's due to open, until the billionaire owner of the existing clogged bridge called Trump and asked him to keep the new bridge closed.Nuclear grade corruption. All out in the open.

Trump is also trying to block opening of a new bridge between US & Canada if Canadian officials did not address his long & growing list of grievances. Note that the guy who owns a rival bridge has also personally been lobbying Trump to prevent competitionwww.nytimes.com/2026/02/09/u…

If you’re late to the controversy surrounding Trump and the Gordie Howe International Bridge (as I was), it’s a doozy:- billionaire donor wants a lucrative monopoly- he calls Lutnick- Lutnick calls Trump- Trump rejects his own position, does what the billionaire wantswww.ms.now/rachel-maddo…

Trump corruption on Live Nation-Ticketmaster

This is flying under the radar:Donald Trump FIRED the DOJ official in charge of suing Live Nation-Ticketmaster for monopolizing ticketing and hiking prices.Then, their stock jumped.If Trump's DOJ takes it easy on Ticketmaster, it'll be a slap in the face to every American.

DOJ will charge Broidy

Now the spa story is an influence-selling story

With this administration of grifters, I am not surprised.
