Kristi Noem-Tied Firm Secretly Got Piece of $220 Million DHS Campaign The company is run by the husband of Noem’s chief DHS spokesperson and has personal and business ties to Noem and her aides. DHS invoked the “emergency” at the border to skirt competitive bidding rules for the taxpayer-funded campaign.

NEW: DHS invoked the “national emergency” at the border to skirt competitive bidding rules for a $220 million taxpayer-funded ad campaign.

We found that a firm with deep ties to Kristi Noem secretly benefited from the deal.

An Amazon box on the doorstep of a home. The text reads, "Life Hack: Replace your cat's litter box with an Amazon box. When it's full, just tape it up and put it on your doorstep so someone steals it."

This works especially well during the holiday season.

Trump's Pentagon name change could cost up to $2 billion Officially changing the Department of Defense to the Department of War can only be done by Congress and would require updating thousands of signs, rewriting digital code and creating new letterheads,...

NEW: Trump's Department of Defense vanity project could cost taxpayers up to $2 BILLION.

The Administration is once again prioritizing political theater over driving down costs and delivering real results for the American people. www.nbcnews.com/politics/nat...

"Everything's going to come out to the public. The public has a right to know." That was Pam Bondi in March on the Epstein files. Wanna guess why she now thinks the public doesn't have a right to know?

It’s so funny how the ONE thing that was actually pretty cool about the Roman Empire - their public works projects like the aqueducts and cloaca maxima- is also something the marble statue crowd has zero interest in, and consistently, vitriolically oppose in the present.

How to Call Your Congressman/woman And Ask For the Release of the Epstein Files A cheat sheet on the Epstein Files Transparency Act

If you want to do something about the Epstein files but calling a congressperson's office sounds intimidating, I turned my personal prep into a cheat-sheet on H.R. 4405 (aka the Epstein Files Transparency Act) so you can feel more prepared.

About half of what it was going to cost to fully fund SNAP in November during the shutdown.

This is why the antivaxx movement is not about "personal freedom."

The discharge petition to force a vote on the Epstein Files only received a handful of GOP votes.

But when we get the actual vote to release them, I'm presuming we'll see a whole lot more, right?

"Congressman _____ voted against releasing the Epstein Files" isn't an ad you want before the midterms

Priorities. 🤡

Oh.

Oh.

In his futile attempt to justify Musk's $1 trillion pay package, this Musk fluffer overlooks:

-Musk's tax rate on his $450BN is only 2.5% so far.
-Tesla & SpaceX received $3.7BN of US subsidies & loans.
-SpaceX has $22BN in US govt contracts.
-Tesla has received $22BN in US ZEV/GHG/IRA credits.

Notably, Canada's 1970s immigration policy allowed Nat Thakkar to set up a factory in Ontario, which is now run by his son Amit. The factory has created countless jobs for Canadians. Unfortunately, Trump's tariffs have hurt their business, which also harms US farmers since Roopa uses US cotton.

The panicked arm-twisting begins to avoid that discharge petition. 🤡

aaaaand we are back to private sector job losses in ADP, 4-wk avg loss of 11k in the week ending Oct 25 implying a sharp deterioration at the end of the month given the 42k monthly gain for October. This new data series is basically averaging zero net private sector job creation since August

Glad this story is finally public but also incredible that it is taking media so long to dig up what is essentially open knowledge in these communities rn.

They’ve laid off so many people that the government is now getting its economic data from DoorDash.

Disgusting. You engaged in political gamesmanship using them as pawns knowing they would get harmed and now you question *their* patriotism because some of them aren't wealthy like you and didn't want to work a high stress job for no pay?

Trump's retaliatory firing of the Fannie Mae IG is merely the latest in a series of actions to undermine any meaningful oversight of his Administration. We wrote about the whole picture last week:

The UK Has Stopped Sharing Some Intelligence Over Fears of U.S. Illegal Killings Something extraordinary was just reported, and it should send shockwaves through the United States.

My latest on the UK cutting back intelligence sharing over fears of the illegal killings Trump and Hegseth are carrying out. This is predictable but surreal at the same time

Since 1968, CEO pay has exploded while worker pay has remained stagnant. If worker pay grew at the same pace as CEO pay, today’s typical worker would make $431.80 per HOUR.

Instead, today’s typical worker makes $36.49 per hour — while CEOs make 280 times that on average.

The system is rigged.

In the most predictable development ever, Mike Johnson is not committing to hold a House vote on ACA subsidies

still wild how many companies/media organizations/thought leaders etc. seem to be operating under the assumption this guy and his movement have the mandate of the American people when it's clear that most of us hate him

if you're mad, start calling.
you might as well channel your anger into something useful.

after I call, im going to the gym to take out all my frustration on my body.

whatever you do, do something productive because making yourself angrier on social media helps no one.

So we are finally protesting the right people.

This is outside of the Heritage Foundation.

This is exactly what they’re proposing and the absence of a risk pool will cause the catastrophic collapse of the healthcare system and a large number of unnecessary deaths and untreated illness

F.B.I. Director Is Said to Have Made a Pledge to Head of MI5, Then Broken It The episode has contributed to concerns among intelligence allies that Kash Patel, brash and partisan, is also unpredictable and even unreliable.

The head of MI5 asked Kash Patel to protect the job of a London FBI agent, who dealt with surveillance tech that British security would need to monitor a new embassy China wants to build in London, U.S. officials said. After Patel agreed to fund the agent's role, the job is now slated to disappear.

Trump and Hegseth booed mercilessly for 2 minutes straight tonight by Washington Commanders fans.
