Taxpayer dollars Congress allocated to strengthen the Secret Service after assassination attempts on Trump are now reportedly being redirected to White House construction, including the East Wing project. Congress and taxpayers deserve the truth.

88 of America's biggest corporations paid NO federal income tax last year.

Those same companies spent $852 MILLION on campaigns and lobbying.

They've laid off 21k workers this year.

We gave them a $26.7 BILLION tax break to warp elections and fire people.

In 2024, xAI built a data center w/o a permit just a few miles from where I live. Already, air pollution is causing health issues for our neighbors.

So, the community sued.

Now, Trump's DOJ has intervened to protect trillionaire Elon Musk's toxic gas turbines & data center.

Former Fox News host Pete Hegseth’s crusade to purge women and people of color from our Armed Forces has never been subtle.

But today, a New York Times exposé revealed exactly how far he’s gone to dismantle the careers and achievements of our finest servicemen and women.

More than a dozen military insiders — both active duty and those already purged — spoke to the Times anonymously to unmask a horrific ongoing attack.

They detailed a process used by Hegseth and his team to halt senior officer advancements for reasons completely unrelated to merit, job performance, or fighting wars.

Hegseth’s efforts are part of a quest to advance his white-and-male centered worldview, facts, history, and actual service be damned.

In the absence of any such evidence, insiders confirmed that he has used his position to withhold promotions from qualified, decorated veterans. The Times cited several enraging examples:

• Last fall, Hegseth ordered Army Secretary Daniel P. Driscoll to remove two Black and two female officers from a 29-person promotion list. Driscoll repeatedly refused, citing their decades of exemplary service. In March, Hegseth bypassed him, removed their names, and sent the modified list to the White House.

• In total, Hegseth has removed 32 officers from Air Force and Navy one- and two-star promotion lists. He also pulled the only Black officer and the only female officer from a Marine Corps list, leaving their promotions in limbo.

• Vice Adm. Sara Joyner, a highly decorated three-star fighter pilot, saw her advancement stalled over a 2021 Navy recruiting ad where she said, "I’m not just a girl with a dream. I’m a sailor with one." Hegseth deemed the line a "big problem." Joyner has since retired.

• Rear Adm. Stephen D. Barnett was recommended for a promotion after successfully managing the aftermath of a massive Navy fuel spill in Hawaii. Hegseth blocked his advancement after Barnett participated in a Navy-sponsored Pride event back in 2018.

It is an outrage to watch a media personality whose greatest battles have been with hangovers intentionally harm the careers of people who risked everything to keep America safe. Hegseth’s actions are insult to all who have served and a risk to national security.

he “Save Our Bacon Act” isn’t about food security, it’s about wiping out hard‑won state laws that ban the sale of pork, eggs, and veal from animals kept in tiny metal cages and crates so small they can’t even turn around. Fifteen states — red, blue, and purple — have passed laws to stop the worst factory farm abuses, like gestation crates for mother pigs, battery cages for hens, and veal crates for calves, and this one rider would nullify hundreds of those protections in one fell swoop. Voters approved measures like California’s Prop 12 and Massachusetts’ Question 3 because they were sick of animals being warehoused in cages and crates, and courts have upheld those laws — but Congress is now trying to do for Big Ag what it couldn’t do itself at the ballot box or in court.
Let’s be clear: this is a blatant power grab for corporate pork giants and the agribusiness lobby, not “help” for family farmers. Small and mid‑size farmers who actually give a damn have already spent time and money to comply with these humane standards, building systems that let animals move, lie down, and turn around. The ones demanding this federal override are the factory farms that chose not to modernize, because it’s cheaper to pack animals shoulder‑to‑shoulder in crates than to treat them like living beings or protect consumers from disease.
What this bill really protects is cruelty and filth. On industrial operations, pregnant sows are locked in “gestation crates” — metal stalls so narrow they can’t turn around or walk, forced to stand or lie in one position, surrounded by their own waste. This extreme confinement causes injuries, chronic stress, and illness, and it creates exactly the kind of dirty, crowded conditions where disease and antibiotic‑resistant bacteria thrive. Research on swine farms has found manure and farm environments loaded with diverse antibiotic resistance genes at levels far higher than in human sewage or soil, which can spread into water, crops, and the broader environment. What happens in those barns does not “stay on the farm” — it comes back to us through the food system, our water, and our communities.

🚨 Under Trump, the CDC has recorded the most child flu deaths ever.

90% of them were unvaccinated.

[Sammi🦋 @StoriesBySammi]

The U.S. Forest Service quietly approved spraying a cancer-linked chemical above Lake Tahoe.

The public didn't find out until two months later.

The chemical is glyphosate, the active ingredient in Roundup. The plan covers 11,700 acres burned in the 2021 Caldor Fire, with up to 3,600 of those acres slated for herbicide treatment.

The agency used an "emergency" authorization to skip the usual public objection process. The only comment window came and went in December 2025, before most locals even knew the project existed.

About 75% of the lake's watershed sits inside that national forest land. Part of the spray zone sits on mountains above the lake, where snowmelt feeds a tributary running straight into Tahoe.

Homeowners around the lake already have to follow strict rules about what they can put on their own lawns, no high-phosphorus fertilizer, no application near runoff paths - all to protect the lake’s clarity.

None of those rules apply to the Forest Service spraying herbicide in the national forest right above it.

Most residents only learned the scale of it from a magazine investigation in late April. A town hall to organize pushback didn't happen until June 11. By then, spraying had already taken place at one local ski resort.

Who's supposed to tell you what's happening in your own backyard, the federal government or a reporter?

ICE spent over $1 billion buying 11 warehouses to cage human beings. Now it’s quietly trying to sell or give away seven of them, more than $700 million gone, with not a single facility open and an inspector general investigation hanging over the whole mess.

This is the waste they swore they were elected to root out.

The fraud, the abuse, the blank check spent without a plan.

They bought industrial buildings at up to $145 million apiece, before renovations, with no environmental review, no community buy-in, and no real strategy for what came next. Even Republican officials told them to stop. Taxpayers are left holding the bill for warehouses that detained no one and accomplished nothing but fear.

It’s total hypocrisy.

An administration that lectured the country about efficiency lit $700 million on fire as part of Stephen Miller’s cruel fantasy of mass detention. Imagine what that money could have done for veterans waiting on housing, for families crushed by costs, for the working people they claim to serve.

I’m glad this plan is dying. It was inhumane from the first day, designed to warehouse people far from the rule of law and basic decency. But being glad it failed does not erase how it failed, recklessly and expensively. We must have full accountability for the officials who pushed it.
