The face you make when your private equity friend becomes governor and decides to give you $1.4 billion after you donate $10,000 to his campaign. @TedLeonsis @ZacharyLeonsis @GlennYoungkin
There is no one more worthy of $600 million in state funding than Jimmy Haslam. From birth, Jimmy worked hard to earn momey from his dad’s oil company and scrapped together funds for an NFL team. He approved a legendary QB trade and is known for his managerial skills
They are consenting adults. We should respect the privacy of whatever happens between @MayorBowser and our local billionaire’s lobbyists. Wined? Dined? 69’ed? Who knows, but we should respect their privacy and accept whatever deal emerges bc this is what democracy looks like!

The Make A Stadium Foundation is a non-profit that seeks to end stadium poverty by matching needy billionaires with local and state governments willing to adopt them!
This is the truth! John Fisher just wants the public to pay their fair share for his new stadium. Billionaires who work hard to inherit their money shouldn’t be forced to sell stock to pay inheritance taxes or sports stadiums. This is America after all.
Across America governors and mayors from all both parties agree that ending stadium poverty for America’s billionaires is the moral calling of our time! We will make sure our local billionaires who live in other states have luxury suites in publicly financed stadium!
Today, we officially broke ground on the new @Athletics ballpark right off of the iconic Las Vegas Strip!
We’re so excited to embark on this exciting new chapter with the @MLB and A’s.
Nevada is ready to get to work and play ball!
Other people need to step up and give money to this project. John Fisher should not be forced to touch the billions in capital he worked hard to inherit from his parents! Let’s see more money from taxpayers for this project please @JoeLombardoNV #EndStandiumPoverty
A’s owner John Fisher said the investor process is ongoing, saying they have a number of people already committed, noting that they continue to raise capital. He wasn’t yet ready to provide specifics. #vegas #athletics #mlb
Thr only way to save jobs for the common man is for the government to build stadiums for billionaires! End stadium poverty and wealth will trickle down into the community
Just another example of generous billionaires are! By ending stadium poverty, taxpayers help billionaires give money to needy state legislators! Stadium wealth flows into a community like gasoline from a leaky Pilot station!
DEEP DIVE: The owners of the Cleveland Browns, the Haslam family, had given $120,000 to the two top legislative leaders at the Ohio Statehouse in the months before they requested $600 million for their new football stadium.

Thank you @JosephMLombardo for speaking the thuth! The only time government should give out money is for sports stadiums. Local California bllionaires like John Fisher who worked hard to inherit their wealth deserve stadiums funded by Nevada taxpayers!
Nevada Republican Governor Joe Lombardo during a recent private dinner said that Nevadans who participated in the “Hands Off” rallies were just folks looking for “handouts” and that their central message was that they don't want to go back to work. He said he is troubled by the "Hands Off" message and that the theme of the Democratic Party is "hands out."
This is what is possible when you end stadium poverty for billionaires! Thank you @MayorDeegan for agreeing to pay Shad Khan’s new stadium the same week he took possession of his new yacht! You are the bright future of the Democratic party! Lets go Jacksonville Jaguars!
🚨THIS IS INSANE🚨
#JAGUARS OWNER SHAD KHAN’S $360 MILLION MEGA YACHT IS PARKED AT THE SUPER BOWL IN NOLA.
It has:
• 3 pools
• Spa, sauna
• Cryo chamber
• Gym, yoga studio
• Basketball, pickleball courts
• Helipad
• Sleeps 12 guests & crew of 37
On behalf of billionaires who worked hard to inherit their teams, the Make A Stadium Foundation will fight back against @DOGE, @realDonaldTrump @PressSec @elonmusk to defend the rights of billionaires to get to tax exempt municipal bonds for their stadiums! End Stadium Poverty!
.@PressSec lays out the tax priorities of the Trump administration:
✅ No tax on tips
✅ No tax on seniors’ Social Security
✅ No tax on overtime pay
✅ Renewing the Trump Tax Cuts
✅ Adjusting the SALT cap
✅ Eliminating special tax breaks for billionaire sports team owners
✅ Closing the carried interest loophole
✅ Tax cuts for Made in America projects
“This will be the largest tax cut in history for middle class working Americans.”
This is what ending stadium poverty looks like. Taxpayers paying for a stadium so billionaire Clark Hunt ans his wife @TaviaHunt1 can have adequate public housing. Missouri taxpayers built this!
Ending billionaire stadium poverty causes economic development to flow into the local community like beer running down the stands of @BofAstadium! As a black woman, @CLTMayor should be proud of her work to help a white male billionaire sit in a brand new luxury owners suite!
The Panthers stadium deal was the "Worst Economic Development Deal" in the country, watchdog group says.

It is time to end stadium poverty for @RaysBaseball owner and former Goldman Sachs partner Stu Sternberg. A politician never forgets the first time they bail out a Wall Street banker!
The Pinellas County Commission meeting is underway. On the docket: Taking out bonds to pay for a new Tampa Bay Rays stadium
Updates can be found at the link, incl how far along the Rays are (they don't yet have cash on hand to pay their $700 mil share)

How romantic! He ran for office so he could take his wife on a free date aboard a billionaire’s yacht!
The ethics law's $100 food/drink limit ignores the 400-foot elephant in the room, which is the yacht itself. One councilmember said he agreed the "optics weren't the greatest" but "if I turned it down, my wife would have been very disappointed." fieldofschemes.com/2024/12/0…
Hell yeah! Congratulations to @MayorDeegan and the rest of the @CityofJax council members! Helping a billionaire buy his new yacht by paying for his stadium and then partying on said yacht? This is what democracy looks like!
How do we get stadium subsidies?
-The Jaguars didn't threaten to move, and have nowhere better to go.
-The Jaguars didn't out-lobby an opposition coalition.
-The owner threw crumbs of opulence to selfish elected representatives.
It's a supply-side problem.

In honor of Ken Hagan reintroducing the idea of Hillsborough tax dollars for the Rays:
Replying to @noahpransky
This is the video of what happened when I tried to ask Ken Hagan questions about the #Rays financials he is negotiating on behalf of Hillsborough County: physical restraint and politician in full sprint.
So glad to see @MayorKenWelch fight for social justice. Billionaire lives matter! Stu Sternberg deserves to have taxpayers pay for the stadium of his dreams with a beautiful luxurious owners suite!
.@MayorKenWelch this morning on city vote on Rays stadium bonds later today: If city&county fulfill obligations on bonds, "Then this impactful 30yr plan can move forward." If not, "then the plan will not come to fruition"
Welch sees path forward despite Rays saying deal is dead
The man is a billionaire’s best friend!
Not everyone is cut out to fight to end billionaire stadium poverty. No matter climate change, homelessness, or failing schools, the Make A Stadium Foundation works to make sure billionaires get public funding so they never have to choice between a new yacht or stadium!
📭 From the mailbox: "Before the storms I was in agreement with building a new stadium for @RaysBaseball even though I winced at the cost. 🌀Hurricanes Helen and Milton have changed my thinking. While the Rays may be draw, an even bigger draw has always been our beaches..."
