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.

Good example of a thing where states need a firm reminder that they have and can enforce their own laws, even if the federal government won't. Every state has its equivalent laws about this stuff. Musk is not cloaked in some federal immunity just because he's off again / on again buddies with Trump.

Pam Bondiās former lobbying firm raked in $25M last quarter as clients tried buying access to Trump. Trump fundraiser Jeff Millerās firm came away with $14M ā nearly 5x what it made last year. Trumpās cronies know everything is for sale in his White House. "Drain the swamp."

The president just gathered the highest ranking officers in the military to tell them that he may order them to kill American citizens -- and that they better follow his orders. All in response to a series of crises that have no basis in reality. I don't know how to yell any louder.

As ICE terrorizes communities, remember that some of Trump's biggest supporters are private prison companies that will make bank off his budget bill. And Stephen Miller recently disclosed over $100K of stock in Palantir, the shady data firm ICE uses to target immigrants. Cashing in on cruelty.
