The U.S. government just made a land deal with the world's first trillionaire. Not a sale. A trade. Because apparently that's how we do things now. 715 acres of the Lower Rio Grande Valley National Wildlife Refuge - built by Congress in 1979 to protect one of the most biodiverse wildlife corridors left in North America - handed to SpaceX. Endangered ocelots. Aplomado falcons. Piping plovers. Land the Carrizo/Comecrudo Nation of Texas has called sacred since long before there was a United States. SpaceX built a rocket launch site next door. Then came the explosions. Concrete and metal hurled six miles across refuge land. A 2024 study found that after one launch, every single monitored shorebird nest near the site suffered egg damage or loss. The Fish and Wildlife Service's response was not enforcement. It was a land swap. FOIA documents show internal planning for this transfer started as early as April 2025 - while Musk was running DOGE and threatening to fire federal workers who didn't justify their jobs to him. The agency developed what they called "the most expedited schedule possible" to get it done. Part of what's being handed over includes the Palmito Ranch Battlefield - the site of the last battle of the Civil War. A National Historic Landmark. Once transferred, SpaceX can restrict public access whenever they want. 25,000 people submitted public comments. Most opposed the deal. The government moved forward anyway. A coalition of tribal and conservation groups filed a federal lawsuit this week to stop it. Because someone has to. Why are we cutting real estate deals with a trillionaire when we could have just made him pay for it? #DemsUnited

Why is the U.S. giving Iran $25 billion for “humanitarian purposes” when the Navajo Nation Reservation is declaring a state of emergency due to having no access to fresh drinking water?

President Trump's investment accounts traded between $212 million and $695 million in stocks and other securities over the first three months of the year, an unprecedented sum for a sitting president. Microsoft, Amazon, Meta, Netflix, Oracle and AMD were among the companies that appeared most frequently in the portfolio.

This is what it looks like in front of the Lincoln Memorial now after Trump’s Birthday Party. Who’s paying to clean this mess up because we know it’s not the UFC!

#SocialSecurity is NOT an entitlement Congress gets to monkey with. It was earned through years of #required paycheck withholdings. Misappropriation should result in jailtime. Or they can #refund ALL withholdings!

An #insurrection cannot be peaceful and the damage to our #Constitution cannot be undone and the lies told about it remain a blight on our Republic.

47 cornered & likely to turn into TACO!

Like administrations.

Its about time!

Happy 99th birthday to S2 Harold Bray, the last remaining survivor of USS Indianapolis, sunk by a Japanese torpedo in 1945. CNO extends his birthday wishes to our shipmate Harold, and his immense gratitude to the rapidly disappearing members of America’s “Greatest Generation.”

Pete Hegseth fired her. Now she's running for Congress. Nancy Lacore, a retired three-star Navy vice admiral, has advanced to a June 23 Democratic primary runoff in South Carolina's 1st District - the House seat Rep. Nancy Mace is vacating to run for governor. Lacore was abruptly dismissed by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth last August, part of a wave of senior military removals on Aug. 22, 2025. She has called her firing "without cause." To be clear about where this stands: Lacore hasn't won anything yet. She's headed to a runoff against attorney Mac Deford on June 23 to decide who becomes the Democratic nominee. The winner of that contest moves on to November for a long-shot run at the seat - which the Cook Political Report rates as solidly Republican. But the storyline writing itself is hard to miss. A career officer pushed out by the sitting Defense Secretary is now asking voters to send her to Washington, where she'd have a say over the very Pentagon that showed her the door. Her campaign leans directly into that history - framing the dismissal as exactly the kind of accountability gap she wants to challenge from inside Congress. Mace, meanwhile, is stepping up to a statewide race, leaving one of the most Republican-leaning seats in the state suddenly without an incumbent. It's an uphill climb in a district drawn to stay red. But a fired admiral on the ballot is the kind of race that makes people pay attention.

#SlavaUkraïni This invasion must be stopped, or other dominoes can fall. Could this become Putin's Afganistan?

Should public office be a short-term service of civic obligation (uncompensated) or a well-paid tenured position to create bureaucratic empires? You decide.

Adam Kinzinger is 💯 correct! Trump started this war which cost taxpayers $1-2 billion per day. The U.S. got nothing out of this deal other than escalating prices, making Iran stronger & now charging a maintenance fee for ships. The Strait of Hormuz was already open. 😡
