Rep Mark Alford R-MO is lying. As a member of Congress, we the taxpayers pay for his travel expenses, as well as living expenses including daily meals. There is absolutely no sacrifice by Republicans. They are just adding to tbe financial burdens of everyday Americans

DHS terminates Camp East Montana operations contract, hires new provider The Department of Homeland Security terminated the contract for Camp East Montana in El Paso, Texas, hiring a new provider to improve conditions.

ICE confirms that the infamous Camp East Montana will NOT be shut down. Instead, they're giving the contract wholly to Amentum, previously the subcontractor for Acquisition Logistics, the tiny VA military contractor which inexplicably got a $1.2 billion contract.

Facebook post by Nekima Levy Armstrong:

"Friends, A Breaking News headline just appeared in the Star Tribune, claiming that the national Target boycott ended today. This is false. The writer of the story, Carson Hartzog, is fully aware that the Target boycott was launched in Minneapolis on February 1, 2025. I have spoken to her several times since then, yet she failed to reach out to me, Jaylani Hussein, or Monique Cullars Doty, the three founders of the national Target boycott for the story. Carson even used the photo from our press conference that includes my daughter, Assata Joy and Ms. Rosemary Nevils, an elder in our community, to try to add legitimacy to a bogus story. 
I am once again disgusted by the Star Tribune and their attempts to minimize and erase the voices of our community. 
The nationwide Target Boycott is not over, unless and until Target reverses its decision to rollback Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion, as we said from the beginning. “Pastor” Jamal Bryant does not speak for us or our community and has zero authority to end the nationwide boycott of Target, a company that is headquartered in Minneapolis. 
Please don’t believe the hype and these attempts to rescue Target from the effects of capitulating to the Trump Administration. Target rolled back DEI because of Donald Trump. They donated $1 million to the Trump/Vance inauguration committee. Target also allowed ICE to stage in its parking lots during Operation Metro Surge.
The nationwide boycott of Target is successful and it will continue. Please continue to shop elsewhere."

Nekima on the Target boycott.

Why do Americans hate each other while Canadians love each other? Could it have something to do with our politics? With the sociopath in the Oval?

A Pew survey found that 53% of American adults describe the morality and ethics of our fellow citizens as “bad.” Meanwhile, in Canada, 92% say their fellow Canadians are good while just 7% say they’re bad.

Why are we Americans so down on our fellow citizens?

Keep in mind that Pete Hegseth's reported Pentagon spending spree happened just months after Trump and Republicans made devastating cuts to the social safety net in exchange for huge tax cuts for the rich.

And defense spending may soon hit a record $1.5 trillion.

Priorities.

20 White House cabinet members have directed at least $30 million to benefit Trump - CREW | Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington The $30 million comes in the form of political contributions, property visits, stock holdings and donations to White Hou

Trump has raked in at least $30 million…from his own cabinet.

20 members have funneled millions right into Trump’s pockets through political donations, visits to his properties, stock holdings in his companies, and other donations.

The grift never ends.

“A key federal vaccine advisory panel has abandoned an attack on the covid-19 mRNA vaccines — a shift that comes as some Republicans warn that any more changes to vaccine policy could damage the party in the midterms”.

US military spent $9 million on crab legs and lobster in the months before Iran war Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth also authorized the $100,000 purchase of a Steinway & Sons grand piano for the Air Force chief of staff’s home, according to a watchdog report

I used to work for the government. In order to justify budgets, bad actors overspend at the end of the fiscal year. So the administration spent $93B on bullshit to justify massive Pentagon budget proposals, all while gutting health care and food assistance. www.the-independent.com/news/world/a...

Speaking in Kentucky, President Trump said that “we hit 28 mine ships as of this moment.” The president sometimes exaggerates or is imprecise when giving figures. U.S. officials previously said that the U.S. military had struck 16 mine-laying ships near the Strait of Hormuz.
