U.S. military spending is set to hit a record $1 trillion.
Roughly half of defense spending goes to private contractors that routinely price-gouge the government.
Meanwhile, the Pentagon has failed EIGHT straight audits.
This is the military industrial complex on steroids.

It’s unacceptable that the Alaska Department of Corrections hasn't made any changes to reduce preventable deaths in their custody.
We're taking the state to court to challenge the dangerous and inhumane healthcare system in Alaska's jails and prisons.

Alaska Department of Corrections reports record-tying 18 deaths in custody this year
Advocates and lawmakers are calling for the reinstatement of an independent oversight body to investigate and help prevent deaths, as well as changes to medical and geriatric parole.

Get ready for the “Trump was a young playboy” propaganda even though he was 50 and the girls were 14.

When the Department of Justice blatantly violates the law to protect wealthy and politically connected pedophiles, then we have no Justice Department and we have no justice.

HUGE NEWS from the new Epstein files:
Records show that Maria Farmer, who worked for Epstein, filed a "child pornography" report to the FBI in 1996.
The FBI has never before acknowledged that complaint. The case went nowhere, and mass abuse followed.

“The most transparent administration in history” only released 10% of the Epstein files yesterday.
The DOJ must be confusing transparency with cover-up.

Trump taking over the Kennedy Center has the same vibes.
Elon buying twitter is not unlike when a failed comic buys a comedy club to give himself stage time.
The top story on Twitter is all the sycophants praising Elon Musk for Starlink?

I've been saying for a long, long time that Trump holdovers at the FBI WFO hamstrung the DOJ's investigations into Donald Trump. These new Grassley emails prove it. Example: Garland green-lit the search of Mar-a-Lago over multiple attempts to stonewall, and found evidence of multiple crimes.

NEW: We reached a settlement with Chouteau County, Montana that will ensure Native voters can elect a county commissioner of their choice.
This corrects the previous system that diluted Native voters' power.

We are parents of a trans kid and our family takes this very, very personally. If you intentionally make life harder for our beloved daughter, it’s EXTREMELY hard to think of you as an ally, to say the least. @amyklobuchar.com - you still send us requests for money, while hurting our kid. Disgusted.
Here are the 28 Dem Senators who voted to advance the first federal ban on trans athletes & a federal definition of sex that would make trans & intersex people non-existent: Angela Alsobrooks (MD), Tammy Baldwin (WI), Richard Blumenthal (CT), Lisa Blunt Rochester (DE), Chris Coons (DE), ->
By a vote of 76-23, S 1071 passes the motion to proceed to the motion to concur. Won't know who voted for this until the roll call is uploaded, but safe to say it passed with the support of at least 24 members of the Democratic caucus. (Rand Paul probably voted nay and Steve Daines has been absent).
