A dairy farmer in Wisconsin tells me why she called the 988 Lifeline: She can’t find labor. Seed, fertilizer and diesel fuel prices are high. Energy costs are going up.

Sinema’s post-Senate life as quasi-lobbyist at Hogan Lovells is repping crypto & AI. She’s rolling in massive amounts of cash.
She seemingly could’ve settled this case for $75,000. Instead, it’s all public.

BREAKING: Bulldozers have arrived, and contractors are setting up a new construction outpost along East River Road in Big Bend National Park, where they plan to plow straight through Hot Springs Canyon in another act of purposeless destruction.

This part of the park contains the highest concentration of cultural sites, yet DHS has waived every law protecting cultural and archaeological resources.

These billionaire contractors are bulldozing through the wildest part of Texas. Their machines will crush thousands of years of human history if we don't stop them.

Just so people are really aware of what this means: A Trump appointee has approved Trump’s personal crypto firm to operate as a bank

Corporations can conduct transactions in which the Trump family gets a cut

The public will not have to be informed

There’s no precedent for this

[Sam Stein @samstein]

Treasury announced this week that it would destroy the government’s registry of shell-company ownership. This is an anti-corruption database that Treasury is by law required to maintain.

Even worse, the Trump administration will also destroy all the data it has already collected, so that no future presidential administration or local police department can use it, either.

“It’s like Trump ordering the deletion of the FBI’s entire fingerprint database"

They’re effectively salting the earth, so that sex traffickers, scam artists, drug lords, money-launderers, and tax cheats can roam free not only through the end of Trump’s time in office but long after he’s out, too.

If you care about 1) property rights, 2) public lands, or 3) government waste, what’s happening in Big Bend right now should have your attention. POTUS and DHS have awarded billions in border wall contracts to Trump campaign donors. They’re in a national park, where all environmental laws have been waived, constructing useless roads next to existing roads and preparing to dynamite the mountain range that gives “Big Bend” National Park its name… for a patrol road and vehicle barriers.

Their reasoning is “border security” despite the fact Big Bend is the most secure border sector in America — 25% of the border area CBP covers and 1% of all crossings or arrests. In a park where it’s literally impossible for vehicles to pass, and where a couple hundred migrants are apprehended in any given year. The park is bigger than Rhode Island.

Outside the park, the feds are sending private landowners letters offering a few thousand dollars to take their properties and their river access, threatening eminent domain if they refuse. This in counties where agriculture and river tourism are two of the biggest and only industries. And where the Rio Grande is the sole water source.

All of this sets an unbelievable new precedent where a president can simply declare an emergency, regardless of circumstance, waive all manner of law, and green light federal contractors to build in public lands and take private property. It’s a genuinely remarkable moment. That it’s happening in a “don’t tread on me” state like Texas, in the most pristine and untouched land in the lower 48, is even crazier.

"The Trump administration admitted that it terminated nearly 300 federal research grants 'solely because' the projects were connected to states that voted against Donald Trump in 2024 and had two Democratic senators in office, according to court filings." https://t.co/8fI5M4yWVB

Last year, a Guatemalan man living in Overland, Missouri was arrested by ICE and deported. A few weeks ago his wife, who had sought asylum, self-deported to rejoin him.

Their bodies were just found in a field, bound and gagged, with their 14-month-old daughter abandoned nearby.

A three week vacation ended when ICE pulled his car over in Florida. He was two days away from getting on a plane back to his family.

Juan Jairo Coronilla Duran is the third ICE-related death in a single week. #AbolishICE

[LongTime🤓FirstTime👨‍💻 @LongTimeHistory]

ICE brutally detain man driving to work—beat him & then choked him out.

Agents never even asked for his ID.

"I can barely breathe," man says in Spanish from his hospital bed.

"My arms and neck hurt, but from waist down I feel OK."

Video shows armed ICE agent guarding his bed inside hospital room—despite the man being immobilized with a neck brace.

The incident occurred in the Chamblee suburb of Atlanta, Georgia.

Veronica doesn't have an account on this platform—so posting first full length and credited video here to help raise awareness.

[Zachary Cohen @ZcohenCNN]

The documents Trump is referring to right now, and CNN has reviewed all of them, largely discuss vulnerabilities that have been known for years and/or are reflected in the 2021 US intel community assessment.

None of the declassified information supports the claim that any previous election results — including the 2020 presidential contest that Trump lost — were manipulated by foreign interference or fraud in a way that would’ve changed the outcome.
