Dear @SenTedCruz and @JohnCornyn

Why is a Montana contractor whose leadership donated more than $1 million to Trump's campaign and was awarded a $7 billion NO BID contract, currently bulldozing their way through the protected jewel of Texas, Big Bend National Park?

I'm sure your constituents, who take their families there and who cherish our great National Parks that Teddy Roosevelt preserved for future generations, would like to know. https://t.co/RDi05tm4Jl

It’s almost like Israel wants to keep the war going as long as possible by manipulating Trump.

One year ago, President Trump deployed the National Guard to the streets of Washington, D.C. Twelve months later, and they’re still here. An investigation from Janessa Goldbeck, CEO of the Vet Voice Foundation, found that the Pentagon has already spent more than $700 million, with another $1.43 billion projected through 2028, to keep 2,500 soldiers standing post in the capital.

They swore an oath to defend the country, not to police it. One year in, and it's time to bring them home.

Corvids are widely considered some of the smartest animals on Earth, with cognitive abilities that rival those of great apes and young human children. Their problem-solving skills, use of tools, make them standout subjects in animal intelligence research.

OMG he’s right think about the way Trump acted in response to an alleged Iranian threat to fire a missile at his plane in Turkey after the NATO summit & even hiding in a catering truck compared to the way he acted in Butler when he was allegedly shot & started pumping his fist.

#BREAKING: Lawrence O’Donnell raises a question the media should confront: imagine a Democratic president declaring during wartime that the Strait of Hormuz was “open” while commercial traffic remained severely disrupted. Would the press treat that as just another presidential exaggeration—or make the contradiction a relentless, front-page scandal?

MacFarlane: Some national park service workers are so alarmed, they leaked internal spreadsheets that show where the money is going. 

We added the numbers together and found for the white house grounds for the vanity projects, the beautification and the needed upgrades: They've set aside $323 million for this year…

$323 million compared to $7 million for the white house in 2024. That's a 5,000% increase. 

National mall has a ten fold increase from 2024 for projects that are the president's priority. 

Doesn't mean the money is directly being starved out of Yosemite, Yellowstone, Mount Zion, Grand Canyon. But we checked those parks all have significantly less funding allotted for them this year than they did two years ago, and there's a $30 billion backlog of deferred maintenance

They are going to have to shortchange important projects throughout America to marshal donated money or taxpayer money on things like a reflecting pool, a helipad, a ballroom, and other vanity projects.

#BREAKING: Rachel #Maddow highlights a truly wild standoff: a Trump-aligned Texas oil company, reportedly backed in part by a major Trump donor, is telling shareholders its Greenland drilling project is racing ahead—even as Greenlandic officials say it DOES NOT have permission to drill. The company has already shipped equipment there and now reportedly plans to send 300 more containers and a massive drilling rig.🤦‍♀️
