It’s as if we elected Ricky Bobby to be president. The White House has corporations sponsoring stations at the Easter egg roll. As far as disasters go, this is pretty low on the list, but seriously? https://www.npr.org/2025/04/19/g-s1-61377/white-house-easter-egg-roll-corporate-sponsors The White House is for the first time soliciting corporate sponsors for the annual Easter Egg Roll event to be held Monday on the South Lawn. This comes as billionaire tech executives have faced growing criticism for cozying up to the Trump administration. CNN first reported earlier this month that the White House had begun courting sponsors for the typically apolitical family gathering, at between $75,000 to $200,000. Amazon, Google, and Meta Sponsor White House Easter Event First Lady Melania Trump’s Easter Egg Roll, scheduled for Monday, features corporate sponsors for the first time in the event’s history, among them major Silicon Valley corporations. The event — which takes place when egg prices are at record highs and avian flu is spreading through flocks — features a reading nook and photo op sponsored by Amazon; a “Bunny Hop Stage” sponsored by YouTube, which is owned by Google; and an “AI-Powered Experience and Photo Opportunity” sponsored by Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp, and Thread’s parent company, Meta. A “Ringing of the Bell Photo Opportunity” is sponsored by the New York Stock Exchange.
At least we aren't celebrating Transgender Visibility Day tomorrow like a certain other POTUS had us doing.
True. Some pigs are more equal than others, and some are simply to be disappeared. Careful about how much you squeal here.
Sounds like they're going to collect an Easter basket full of money. Who's the recipient of this largesse, I wonder? I also wonder which Easter Mass Trump will attend?
