Also, the DoD just put Anduril founder Palmer Luckey on "Project Meridian," its commission to determine the future of warfare, which may just involve buying lots of Anduril products, who knows. Luckey has made over 1,000 contributions to Republicans since 2017, 23 of which were for over $100K each.

Shocking: Trump officials are offering $2,500 or more to detained teens as young as 14 if they agree to leave the US. Kids also get a memo threatening long detention, and prosecution of noncitizen parents, if they press their legal case: “You will be detained for a prolonged period of time.”

4/ Fernando Vasquez, an 18-year-old citizen, was on break from work when agents chased and handcuffed him, then put him in their truck. After realizing their mistake, the agents left the teen alone in the woods, with no way to get home. Then they threw his ID out of the truck.

There is more to drop on this story. What the Times does not mention is that Salus, the company that got an almost $1 billion no bid contract was also telling other contractors it could secure them govt contracts - if they were willing to hand tens of millions to her boyfriend, Corey Lewandowski.
Marketing firms were told they were guaranteed a contract, but they just needed to hire a consulting firm who could serve as a pass-through to paying Lewandowski. The consulting firm would get half or more of the contract. The company that was acting as a middleman here, telling the marketing firms they had to pay Lewandowski, was Salus. This is one of the companies owned by the Noem donor William Walters.

Sounds complicated, right? In simple terms, Noem gave almost $1 billion dollars in no-bid contracts to a company that then became a middleman for others selling services to government. That company told contractors they had to pay Noem’s boyfriend an extraordinary amount of money if they wanted to receive a government contract. It seems reasonable to assume that some of the inflated costs of these contracts returned to Lewandowski.
