A spa and waxing company valued at just $3 million walked away with nearly $40 million in federal Ebola contracts. Months earlier, an investment fund tied to Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump had put roughly $30 million into its struggling parent company, XWELL, rescuing it from the edge of bankruptcy. The CDC handed the firm’s XpresTest unit an $18.8 million deal for Ebola screening at American airports. The State Department added $20 million for outbreak response work in the Democratic Republic of Congo, where the largest Ebola outbreak ever recorded in the country has killed more than 5,000 people this year. XpresTest has never worked with Ebola and has never operated overseas. Even its own CEO told ProPublica he is not sure the company can do the job. Experienced organizations like Save the Children and the International Medical Corps were right there, with decades of outbreak response behind them. Instead, the money went to a company whose new contracts quietly boosted the price of its pending sale, a windfall that flows back toward the fund tied to the president’s sons.

If this is real, and I have a feeling it is based on things I’ve been hearing from Blanche recently, he’s going to get away scott free with billions. And laugh about it on his own private golf course. This country is fucked.

Cokey Smurf is all fucked up.
Don Jr., who appears to be very high, thinks that Russel Brand was unfairly sentenced for 10 years. He thinks the rape charges are BS because the allegations date to the 90s. He says they charged him because he's a conservative. Sounds familiar?

Leaked audio from inside ICE detention—woman begs to self deport. Not receiving medication for her severe anemia. Hemoglobin levels so low—doctor said it's life threatening. "I only ask that you deport me," she cries. "I've been waiting 4 months since signing papers—nothing." "I just want to get to Venezuela with my children and my family." "It seems unfair to me that people who want to leave are being held... and people who want to stay are being forced out." Her hemoglobin level of 4.1 g/dL is critically low and life threatening. Carrying a high risk of heart failure, organ damage, and death—without immediate medical intervention such as a transfusion. Every week her deportation officer gives her the runaround making up different excuses for her remaining locked up. And no lawyer will take her case because she's already signed self deportation papers so her case is officially closed. Enderin Briceño is detained at the private GEO Group prison Mochano Valley ICE Facility in Philipsburg, Pennsylvania. Her lawyer Lorena Vargas Hernández doesn’t have an active account on this platform—so posting first full length and credited video here to help raise awareness.

Investigative journalist Scott Carney argues Trump had means to do it (access via allies, known machine flaws), motive (legal troubles).

That white supremacist enjoyed every second👿
Police arrest Black woman—volunteering at free food giveaway for needy. She was in the street just directing traffic. "Why am I being arrested?" she asks. "Pedestrian in the road," cop says. "You're under arrest—I don't need consent." The food drive for people in need led by Community Movement Builders—a community run organization. They operate a Survival Program that distributes food and offers utility assistance to neighborhood residents. Incident occurred in Atlanta's historic Pittsburgh neighborhood. Brittney Ducket Williams was held overnight before being released on bond.

Taxpayers just got stuck with a $93,000 hotel bill so Secret Service agents could stay at two five-star resorts in Marrakech while Ivanka Trump celebrated her 45th birthday in Morocco. And that’s just the rooms. It doesn’t include the agents’ flights, meals, cars or salaries. Federal contracting records dug up by the Daily Mail show a $59,543 contract for the five-star Sofitel Marrakech ahead of a “VVIP” arrival. The next day came a $33,457 contract for a Secret Service team at La Mamounia, a palace hotel where private villas can run more than $8,600 a night. The records don’t name her. But she was the only Secret Service protectee known to be in Morocco at the time, and she was photographed strolling through the old city the day before her birthday. She doesn’t have a government job. She’s the president’s adult daughter on a private birthday getaway, and you’re picking up the tab. Her camp’s defense? A source close to the family said Iran had threatened to kill her, so wouldn’t you want the best protection possible? Nobody’s saying her agents should sleep in a hostel. But nobody made her fly to Marrakech for her birthday either. This family has always treated the Secret Service like a revenue stream. During his first term, Don the Con’s own resorts billed the Secret Service for the rooms its agents stayed in. Now he serves them $30 hotdogs paid for by you. Working families are cutting back at the grocery store, and the Grifter-in-Chief’s daughter is celebrating in a palace on your dime.

What happens when you fire all the intelligence & experience; nothing left but stupid!
The US is asking users on X, on a Friday night, just hours before an alleged major military operation against Iran’s nuclear facilities, to provide information on the locations of those facilities in exchange for $20 million. Are you kidding me, bud?

Dana White slapped his wife twice on video. Trump just offered him the press secretary job.
