NEW: We’ve uncovered the first known example of taxpayer money flowing from DHS to businesses controlled by Kristi Noem’s allies and friends.
It’s part of a money trail that’s been shrouded in secrecy—and involves $220 million, a mysterious Delaware LLC & a horse named Gill.

This is the sort of thing that procurement rules are meant to prevent. Those rules can make things slow and unwieldy in government, but reflect how politicized our system is. Other rich countries have figured out that a less politicized system lowers the risks of corruption.
First, let's back up.
Noem has starred in a sprawling ad campaign she’s said is a crucial tool to stem illegal immigration—so crucial that DHS bypassed the normal competitive bidding process, designed to prevent waste & corruption in federal contracts www.propublica.org/article/kris...

We followed a court order and worked quickly to make sure that nearly 700,000 Wisconsinites who rely on FoodShare, including about 270,000 kids, had food to eat.
Now, President Trump wants to yank that money away from hungry kids, families, and seniors in Wisconsin? Hell no.

One benchmark of a democracy is whether it is willing to hold those who have served at the very highest levels to account.

As I noted after other recent protests, Resistance 2.0 has been predominantly female, White and educated and turnout in DC on Saturday continued this trend. : 57% were female, 88% reported holding a BA or more and here's the race/ethnicity of the crowd.

The most upsetting part of this story to me is the line where the Times says it is “unclear” where the money came from.
Under our constitution,
it is either extremely clear where money comes from - a congressional appropriation - or an illegal channel. So so, @nytimes.com

Now Colombia, part of BRICS-led New Development Bank, whose president is pro Russia to begin with. It gives Putin a leverage to be the “mediator” who ends up on top.
