Two members of the UT System Board of Regents donated about $1.6 million to Gov. Greg Abbott's reelection campaign using personal funds and totaling more than 90% of the board’s total donations, according to Texas Ethics Commission filings. The governor is responsible for appointing the Board of Regents that oversee UT and the 12 other academic and health institutions in the system, and Texas does not limit dollar amounts on individual contributions to gubernatorial candidates.

Investigation will be launched in days

Judge orders another breather
This has been a mess. Judge is still getting the run-around
Politically: The Admin is clearly poised to spend an undetermined amount of money (hundreds of millions of $$'s) to renovate this public golf course in DC to suit the President's wants
Sheryl retweeted
Judge: Someone at Dept of Interior must've thought how much this would cost?
Attorney: That's "deliberative"
Judge: Does Dept of Interior NOT want the American people to know how much this will cost
Sheryl retweeted
Judge Reyes asks Justice Dept for an estimate of entire price of golf course renovation
Trump Admin attorney: There is no estimate. "Why would you assume that?"
Reyes: If we're going to use taxpayer money, I assumed we'd have some idea of what it'd cost

Whoa!
Justice Dept says cost of new seawall at East Potomac Park will cost between $150 million and $400 million
Judge: Who appropriated money for that?
Justice Dept says no one did.

“Kushner told Zelensky that he should pause the strikes because he and U.S. envoy Steve Witkoff were dedicating a lot of time, energy, and jet fuel to mediating with Moscow, one of the U.S. officials said. A 30-day pause on refineries would be a way for Ukraine to show gratitude, that U.S. official said.”
An almost comical thing to tell a nation fighting for its existence. Lay down your weapons because we are exhausted from taking a private jet.

Q: If the administration has declared on waste and fraud, could you explain the $420 million overpayment for a prison in Appleton, MN, when they company offered it to the state for $75m?
BESSENT: I don't know anything about that. That's a waste of our time.

A private prison company offered Minnesota an empty prison for 75 million dollars. The state said no. Then Trump’s administration paid the same company almost 500 million for it.
The prison has sat empty in Appleton, Minnesota since 2010. Last year CoreCivic emailed the state and offered to sell it for 75 million, upgrades included. Minnesota passed. Fifteen months later, Homeland Security bought it for an ICE detention center at 495.6 million.
How could this be? You guessed it. CoreCivic gave half a million dollars to Trump’s inaugural committee. And it still gets paid about 75 million a year to run the place.
Republicans love talking about fraud in Minnesota. JD Vance says his task force is all over it. So where are they on this one? I break it all down in today’s show (link in reply).

“The greatest threat to our Western society right now is the rise in Islam in the state of Texas. I want you to notice something, because the governor agrees on this: I didn’t say ‘radical Islam.’ I said ‘Islam,’ because all Islam is radical.” (Gift link).

In audio we obtained, Nate Schatzline described how he plans to use his new job to fight "demonic forces and "globalists" - and to "crack down" on Islam, including by classifying it as a political ideology so that lawmakers can more overtly discriminate.
