We're seeing a revolving door between ICE and the private prison industry. The new head of ICE is a former VP at GeoGroup, the company that runs over a dozen detention centers, including Delaney Hall. This is corruption using taxpayer dollars, and we need to stop it.
The federal government just banned bison from public land in Montana.
Not cattle.
Bison.
Interior Secretary Burgum revoked grazing permits for 950 bison
on 63,000 acres of federal land in northeastern Montana.
The reason?
Bison raised for conservation don't count as livestock
under a 1934 law.
Bison raised for meat and milk? Fine.
Bison raised to restore a native species to its native land? Get out.
Meanwhile, cattle ranchers across the West keep grazing on your land.
For $1.69 a month.
One cow. One calf. Thirty days. $1.69.
On land that belongs to every American.
The Cheyenne River Sioux. The Coalition of Large Tribes —
50+ Native nations. Defenders of Wildlife.
They all filed formal protests.
They called it exactly what it is.
"DEI for cows."
The bison have until September 30 to be gone.
Who decided cattle belong on public land more than bison do?

A highschool senior, a pregnant woman, and a man with Stage Three cancer. These are the people I met in Delaney Hall. When DHS tells you they are only arresting the worst of the worst, they're lying. These are everyday people kept in inhumane conditions with our tax dollars.
I am not making this up: Secretary Rubio actually sat before Congress today and said “the war is over.”
It’s a bizarre lie to tell when Americans know there’s obviously a war underway - not just from seeing it on screens, but from paying its costs every day at home.
Leaders with this little respect for the American people have no business in office.
BLANCHE: Who the president chooses to pardon is not a problem, period
IVEY: What's the legal basis for that statement?
BLANCHE: The Constitution
IVEY: The Constitution does not give him the authority to pardon in exchange for payments. It does not permit bribery
The people of the Twin Cities are being awarded the John F. Kennedy Profile in Courage Award tonight.
This winter, Minnesotans showed the world what courage looks like. Our state was the center of America's heartbreak, but we were also the center of America's hope.
Follow the money on this one. It is rotten to the core.
The Pentagon just lent $620,000,000 to a tiny North Carolina startup called Vulcan Elements. The company is two years old.
It had fewer than 50 employees.
And three months before the deal was announced, Donald Trump Jr.’s venture firm quietly took a stake in it.
Here is the part the administration tried to bury.
Of the dozens of companies the Pentagon was weighing, Vulcan was the only deal initiated by a top White House aide. That aide was Peter Navarro, a close friend of Trump Jr. The order came down to move fast.
One official put it plainly: The call came from the White House. We have to get this done.
Staff worked late nights to push it through in weeks. Deals like this normally take many months of vetting. And when it closed, Vulcan’s valuation jumped from about 200 million dollars to roughly 2 billion.
A windfall for the investors, including the president’s son.
This is public money. Your money.
Routed through the Pentagon to enrich the president’s family and their friends. The Bush administration’s own chief ethics lawyer called it corruption we pay for.
And there is more coming.
A drone parts company Trump Jr. holds a stake in is also under Pentagon review.
This is not a one-off. It is a pattern. The president’s family is treating the federal Treasury like a private bank, and the bill lands on every taxpayer.

Here is how justice works in Trump’s Washington.
The Biden Justice Department indicted Gautam Adani, one of the world’s wealthiest men, for a $265 million scheme to bribe Indian government officials and defraud American investors.
The Trump Justice Department just let him walk.
Last month, Adani’s lawyer, Robert Giuffra, who also happens to be one of Donald Trump's personal attorneys, walked into the Justice Department with an offer: drop the charges, and Adani will invest $10 billion in the U.S. economy.
When this Administration talks about fighting fraud, what they mean is fighting fraud that doesn’t come with a check attached. This is the most corrupt administration in American history, and they are not even trying to hide it anymore.

Nebraska. Ole Miss. Arizona State. And @GoJacksBaseball.
Here's a complete breakdown of all four teams at the Lincoln regional in the NCAA baseball tournament: https://t.co/ZHeMPc8BXT
"It doesn't even feel real that it's happened. And it probably won't feel real until we get to practice in Lincoln on Thursday and play in the game on Friday."
On @GoJacksBaseball finally getting back to the NCAA tournament after a 13-year absence:

I got some wise words from Rep. Clyburn today, who reminded me that the true way out of this nightmare is Americans going to the polls in massive numbers so that we regain control of Congress.
This is Ken Paxton's mugshot.
He was indicted on 3 felony counts for investment fraud.
He was reported to the FBI by his own staff for bribery.
He was impeached by his own party for corruption.
Now he’s the Republican nominee for US Senate in Texas.
Together we will stop him.
