How Trump's Antitrust Enforcer Andrew Ferguson May Be Pushing Up Oil Prices The FTC said former Pioneer CEO Scott Sheffield helped work with the OPEC oil cartel. The Trump FTC let him off the hook. And now he's back.

DHS nominee Markwayne Mullin is one of the most active stock-traders in the Senate β€” and violated the STOCK Act against insider trading as recently as last August.

He currently holds stock in L3Harris, which has millions in contracts with ICE and FEMA.

The grift continues.

😁 Former Russian Deputy Defense Minister Tsalikov, Shoigu's right-hand man, was found to have hundreds of millions in real estate.

He is accused of creating a criminal organization, embezzling budget funds, and accepting bribes.

Even more surprising is that all of this came to light after 2024.

So far the war in Iran has cost an estimated $5.5 billion.

That's roughly $1 billion per day.

$41,666,667 per hour.

$11,574 per second.

People do not want this.

They want a living wage. They want healthcare. They want to be able to afford a home. They want their basic needs met.

Despite Promises, Veterans Affairs Department Cut Thousands of Roles for Doctors and Nurses

Got it. There's plenty of funding to send troops into harm’s way, but not to take care of their health afterwards. This is shameful.

It’s looking increasingly likely that Kristi Noem and Lewandowski funneled almost 200 million in government money to a company that is run by her friend and that nobody can give an address for.

Oh, and it was 8 days old when it was awarded the contract.

I respect this person even more. Not just a semi-standard statement. The timing also demonstrates the way our imperfect system did, can, and will operate.
Now is the time for all good women to come to the aid of their country. Everyone has something to give.

We're demanding transparency from GoFundMe about the creation of over 1.4 million fundraising pages in charities’ names without their consent.

GoFundMe must remove the unauthorized pages, change its practices, and take steps to protect charities and donors from being misled.

The vote on Rep. Massie and my WPR comes down to this. Are you with Lindsey Graham who was for the regime change war in Iraq, Libya and now Iran, or are you with those Americans who are tired of being dragged into wars in the Middle East and want us to focus on jobs and healthcare at home?

Just a random reminder that over 50 members of Congress collectively own millions of dollars in defense contractor stocks.

They stand to personally profit from wars that enrich these contractors.

Make no mistake, this is legalized corruption.

Watch how they vote this week.

Over a month has passed since we demanded information about the Minnesota children held in federal detention facilities. We have not received a response.

We will not stay silent while Donald Trump and Kristi Noem imprison children.
