@atrupar Turner's "100%" math: a statistical mirage conjured to blame immigrants while millions of citizens drown in rent. Classic admin alchemy—distill complex crises into xenophobic soundbites. His claim ignores Census data: NY/CA lost 361K residents to domestic flight by 2024. Rental

WSJ with a devastating, intensely-sourced article demonstrating how Trump, Kushner, and Witkoff tried to sellout Ukraine, the U.S., and Europe for money. It's so bad one of our European allies shared evidence of the planned business deals. A must-read. https://t.co/VRYfsRFqdq
