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 seven straight audits.
This is the military industrial complex on steroids.

As a GOP activist, Harmeet Dhillon frequently insisted that the federal government has “little to say” about how states run their elections. Now, as head of the Civil Rights Division at the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ), she claims the feds have “sweeping” authority to seize state voter rolls.

I captured the Horsehead Nebula tonight and reframed a bit so I would also get a good shot of the Flame Nebula there on the left. These are just a couple of the interesting objects in the Orion constellation.
For reference, the big green star on the center left is the leftmost star in Orion’s Belt.

Indiana Republicans just shut down Trump’s attempt to force new maps, a rare sign his pressure is losing its punch. The U.S. seized a tanker tied to covert oil shipments off the coast of Venezuela. And Kilmar Abrego Garcia is finally home after a judge ordered him released from ICE detention.

Only criminals attack the innocent. ICE agents abusing power should be arrested, and so should the man who gave them their orders.

As both a teacher and a parent, I see every day how challenging it can be for families to figure out how to give their children real freedom in the world. Again and again, the #BikeBus shows me that it is one of the best tools we have for scaffolding independence.
