Called the Tanka Fund, they coordinate donors and partners to help ranchers secure grazing land access

By Andy Corble

A tribal-led nonprofit is creating a network of native bison ranchers that are restoring ecosystems on the Great Plains, restoring native ranchers’ connections with their ancestral land, and restoring the native diet that their ancestors relied on.

Called the Tanka Fund, they coordinate donors and partners to help ranchers secure grazing land access, funds needed to install and repair fencing, increase their herd sizes, and access markets for bison meat across the country…

Elon Musk’s Pentagon Conflicts

Musk's DOGE team is soon to arrive at the Pentagon as his companies, like SpaceX, rake in billions of dollars in defense contracts.

By David Moore

Elon Musk’s DOGE team is headed into the Pentagon soon. Their work could bolster defense contracts for Musk’s companies that are worth billions of dollars.

DOGE has been rushing into federal agencies, with President Trump’s blessing, in what ethics experts, dozens of Democratic members of Congress, and some government officials are saying is an illegal push for control of government under the mantle of slashing federal spending. Even the Republican Douglas Holtz-Eakin, a former director of the Congressional Budget Office, says that DOGE is being driven by conservative ideology rather than sound cost-cutting practices…

Is there any point in taking electrolytes?

Exercise fans swear by them, but we investigate whether we should we really be replenishing our bodies with these essential minerals

by Emily Craig, telegraph.co.uk

A cold, refreshing, glass of water just doesn’t cut it these days. If you’ve been dehydrated after a tummy bug or working out regularly, your water can come super-charged with a sachet of electrolytes promising to help you run faster (or even ease the dreaded hangover after a night out). In fact, they’ve enjoyed such popularity that in 2022, the global demand was valued at £37.6 billion, a number that is expected to increase to £84 billion by 2030…

Elon Musk’s Companies Were Under Investigation by Five Inspectors General When the Trump Administration Fired Them and Made Musk the Investigator

Yesterday, the newly formed House Subcommittee on Delivering on Government Efficiency

By Pam Martens and Russ Martens, wallstreetonparade.com

Yesterday, the newly formed House Subcommittee on Delivering on Government Efficiency (DOGE) held its first hearing titled: “The War on Waste: Stamping Out the Scourge of Improper Payments and Fraud.” The Subcommittee appears to be part of an echo chamber attempting to bring legitimacy to President Donald Trump tapping his largest campaign donor, billionaire Elon Musk, to lead an effort to gut federal law enforcement and regulatory agencies and create enough savings to give tax breaks and other perks to the ultra-rich…

Elon Musk’s DOGE Team Uncovers Over 25 Million People Ages 100+ in Social Security Database, Some Older Than the Constitution: “There are a Lot of Vampires Collecting Social Security”

Elon Musk’s DOGE team has unearthed jaw-dropping irregularity from the U.S. Social Security database.

by Jim Hᴏft

Elon Musk’s DOGE team has unearthed jaw-dropping irregularity from the U.S. Social Security database.

The numbers are truly mind-boggling: over 25 million Americans registered aged 100 and older, with some purportedly older than the U.S. Constitution itself.

Late Sunday night, Musk tweeted a staggering claim accompanied by a table of ages, suggesting that the Social Security Administration might be paying out benefits to “vampires.”…

CPS profits from family separation, turning child welfare into a billion-dollar industry where courts, agencies, and service providers cash in on every removal. It’s a racket that must end.

Child Protective Services (CPS) and its various counterparts—such as the Department of Children, Youth, and Families (DCYF), the Department of Family Services (DFS), the Department of Children and Families (DCF), and other similarly named agencies—operate under the guise of protecting children. In reality, these agencies have become an industry unto themselves, profiting off the removal of children and the destruction of families.
