Clock’s Ticking. Your Money Is Their Slush Fund.
Weeks left until the midterms. And look what your tax dollars just bought.
$150 million. No competition. A no-bid deal to a small Texas law firm tied to the Trump team, to represent unaccompanied migrant kids in court, after the administration let a longtime provider’s contract lapse. That’s not careful stewardship. That’s favoritism with your money.
This isn’t about left or right. It’s about a government that chooses friends over fairness. The Trump administration didn’t open this huge contract to bids. It steered it. To people with connections. While you’re told to tighten your belt.
That’s your money.
And it fits a pattern. Senate Democrats are probing a $2 million payment a South Korean firm made to Trump’s company while that firm was fighting a trade case before his administration. They say it raises serious pay-to-play and bribery concerns. Read that again: money flows in while decisions hang in the balance.
When leaders hand out no-bid contracts to allies and rake in payments from players with business before them, regular families pay twice—once in taxes, again in lost trust. Schools wait. Roads crack. Doctors go unfunded. But the insiders? They get wired in.
You don’t have to accept this as “just politics.” You can demand basic honesty: open bids, clean lines, no friends-and-family deals with public cash.
You do not have to become a Democrat. You do have to stop Republicans from finishing this.
- Share this with someone who thinks corruption is ‘just politics.’
- Ask your local candidates if they’ll ban no-bid giveaways to political allies.
- Vote to end pay-to-play this November.
