The White House gave Don Jr a $620M contract. I’m old enough to remember when repubs in Congress bribed a Russian asset who was later convicted of lying about a $5M payout to Hunter Biden. What ever happened to Smirnov? Oh that’s right. Trump sprung him from jail.
The White House intervened to get a $620 million deal for a company tied to Don Jr. The request was made by top aide Peter Navarro. Of the dozens of companies the Pentagon was considering funding at the time, the Don Jr.-linked company was the only deal initiated by a top aide to Trump.

We will no longer have access to evidence of peer review if this happens. This means when grants are pulled by political minders, we will not have evidence of political influence in the granting process with which to go to Congress who funds the work from the taxpayers.
I heard from several sources yesterday that NIH is planning to release a Request for Information (RFI) that apparently will include this: Scores and percentiles for NIH grant applications will not be shared with applicants although they will be provided to NIH program officers and staff. 1/3

The Pentagon received direct orders from President Trump to prepare for a military escalation in Cuba, according to multiple reports. Trump’s existing oil and aid blockade of Cuba has caused rampant human suffering, as the island experiences blackouts, food shortages, and inflation. trib.al/4PrBxi8

NEW: For more than a century, a smelter and other factories spewed 400 million pounds of lead dust across Omaha’s east side. Faced with similar concerns, 13 states passed laws requiring all kids to get a blood test before kindergarten. But not Nebraska.

You were right! I wanted to see that sweet, sweet focus pull and to look up the cinemtographer. John S. Bartley. The man did over 70 episodes of X-Files and went on to shoot 1/3rd of Lost 🫡 m.imdb.com/name/nm00589...

“It’s difficult to cover him in a way that conveys how unhinged he is. Journalists are trained to be like, ‘OK, what did he say that was newsworthy?’ So you convey that to your audience. But in reality, when you actually watch, you see he's full of hatred, lying constantly, and very incoherent.”
FCC says we can't use new foreign made routers because of security concerns. They're literally banking on the large numbers of tech inept in the US. Check out this expert analysis from Steve at Gamers Nexus. youtu.be/KYafaTYjZwA?...

Nate Cavanaugh has gone viral recently for his taped deposition about DOGE eliminating "DEI" grants. He's also a key figure in our story from last year. We found that he helped expose a sensitive Afghanistan program, leading to a brutal Taliban crackdown.

Remember when Rep. Greg Gianforte, now the GOP governor of the state, body slammed a reporter into a table? We probably need to shut down the Montana Republican Party entirely until we can figure out where all this violent rage is coming from.

Here’s the 60 Minutes report on “white genocide” in South Africa. It demonstrates it’s a lie, shows what’s really happening, debunks the specific claims made by Trump and ends with an Afrikaner saying it’s racist for the US to welcome his people rather than genuine refugees from around the world.

Today, the Trump administration repealed the endangerment finding: the ruling that served as the basis for limits on tailpipe emissions and power plant rules. Without it, we’ll be less safe, less healthy and less able to fight climate change—all so the fossil fuel industry can make even more money.
@propublica.org is amazing.
