Rep. Josh Williams@JoshWilliamsOH·
I grew up in poverty, overcame homelessness, and spent half a decade not being able to leave my bed. Tomorrow, I will be on the ballot for Congress. My story is an American story— and I'm running to give everyone in America a chance to write their own story. To every Republican in Ohio's 9th District, I humbly ask for your vote.

NEW INVESTIGATION: Mamdani campaign coordination questions exposed in public filings. This isn't speculation. It's all in the records. I've already reported to the IRS how almost $80 million in charitable funds flowed to organizations that endorsed Mamdani and provided ground operations for his campaign — while concealing their coordination on federal tax forms. Now I'm examining potential election law violations — the shared treasurers, the same-day penny-perfect transactions, the "independence" certifications filed under penalty of perjury. Same network. New questions. Let me show you what I found. 🔗 Full investigation with all sources and documents: whitecollarfraud.com/2026/05/04/did… $950,000 moved from Working Families Party PAC to WFP National PAC – NYS IE Committee. Thirteen days before Election Day. Same treasurer on both sides: Mike Boland. Same address: 77 Sands Street, Brooklyn. Same management company. The IE committee spent $1.8 million on "independent" expenditures for Mamdani. ⚖️ Under NY Election Law § 14-107-a, PACs cannot contribute to IE committees under "common operational control." Same treasurer. Same address. Same company. It gets better. A second shared treasurer: Amin Mitha. He's treasurer of Emgage Federal PAC. He's also treasurer of Defend and Advance – NY I.E. The PAC gave $60,000 to IE committees. $35,000 went to the committee where Mitha is also treasurer. Two networks. Two shared treasurers. Same pattern. Now the penny-perfect red flag. June 11, 2025: Make the Road Action → WFP National PAC: $45,697.14 WFP National PAC → Make the Road Action: $45,697.14 Same day. Same amount. To the penny. Explain that without seeing the books. The "partners" problem. Movement Voter Project's own report called Make the Road Action and Working Families Party "MVP partners" working "in partnership." WFP's 2022 memo bragged they "coordinated a significant grassroots IE table." Coordinated. Their word. Then they certified under penalty of perjury that their IE spending was independent. Follow the money. Almost $80 million moved from 501(c)(3) charities to 501(c)(4) advocacy groups. Tax-deductible donations → political expenditures. Tides Foundation alone sent $57M to Tides Advocacy. Tides Advocacy distributed $2.2M to Mamdani-endorsing organizations. Upstream? George Soros. Foundation to Promote Open Society and Open Society Institute — his 501(c)(3) vehicles — sent $11.77 million to the Tides network. Open Society Policy Center gave $4.1 million directly to Tides Advocacy. One grant for $3 million explicitly referenced the "Electoral Justice Project." On the Schedule I. In writing. 147,500 doors knocked. Jewish Voice for Peace Action: 80,000 Make the Road Action: 60,000 NY Communities for Change: 7,500 + 30,000 calls Working Families Party: 1,000+ volunteers All funded through the same network. All endorsed Mamdani. All documented as "partners." The personnel connection. Renita Francois — Chief Program Officer at Tides Advocacy, $155,036 compensation. She "oversaw millions of dollars in grants and managed relationships with political leaders." On March 19, 2026, Mayor Mamdani appointed her Deputy Mayor. The person who managed the grants is now in the administration of the candidate who benefited. Six questions regulators should answer: 1. Does same treasurer + same address + same management company = "common operational control"? 2. What did "partnership" actually mean? 3. Were 147,500 doors knocked independently or as a coordinated operation? 4. What do the books show for the $45,697.14 same-day transactions? 5. Were charitable funds converted into political expenditures? 6. Does the Francois appointment warrant examination? I'm a forensic accountant. I follow money, not politics. The public filings create a clear investigative trail. NYC Campaign Finance Board, NY State Board of Elections, NY Attorney General, IRS, and FEC should all be looking at this. The facts are strong enough that regulators should examine whether Mamdani campaign coordination occurred. 🔗 Full investigation with all sources and documents: whitecollarfraud.com/2026/05/04/did…

Of course this DNC account punts what this debate is actually about, here’s an easy to follow overview for you. The controversy focuses on an NGO called the American Prairie Foundation with a bison herd on public land (BLM) in Northeast Montana (note this is different from the famous Yellowstone herd that you may have visited on a family trip). To obtain a grazing permit on BLM, this isn’t auctioned off at market. Instead, it’s a preference system linked to ownership of a nearby property (called a “base property”). American Prairie is a relative newcomer who acquired BLM preference for grazing allotments by purchasing deeded ranches adjacent to BLM land. Then, they asked the BLM to modify their grazing permits to include bison. The BLM did an environmental impact assessment and approved bison in 2022, which was just revoked at the request of Montana lawmakers and ranching families in the state. The reason ranching families, stockgrowers, and Montana lawmakers do not want American Prairie to run their conservation focused bison herd on BLM land begins with the fact that to purchase deeded ranches and obtain eligibility for BLM grazing, American Prairie got piles of cash from foreign and out of state donors. As a donor funded foundation, most of its cash comes from a Swiss born billionaire, a German billionaire, and high net worth individuals from NYC and SF. How would a regular rancher from Montana compete with that to purchase the ranches that would lead to preference for BLM? How would a 21 year old seventh generation rancher compete? When this NGO buys these deeded ranches, the associated grazing rights on BLM are automatically transferred. Montana ranchers and politicians also oppose buffalo on BLM parcels because of the risk of disease transmission to livestock, and an overarching belief that Montana has been ranching for food production for centuries, newer conservation interests backed by non-local cash undermine the long, rich heritage of the state. On the other side of the debate is American Prairie with a noble mission to restore the mighty bison to American grasslands to promote biodiversity, focusing on native grasslands and fauna. This is a group focused on what’s called “rewilding” or returning the land to its pre human state, with the buffalo as a powerful symbol of the American frontier. Proponents argue that as a keystone species, buffalo have many ecological benefits that make our great prairies healthier and more productive. They argue disease transmission risk is overstated, and that market-based conservation is the future. In America, if you have resources to buy ranches, get the BLM permits, you should be able to do so without government putting its finger on the scale and reversing policy for the ranching interests. They argue public land shouldn’t exclusively be for ranching, and the true purpose of “multiple use public land” should include conservation. When I present issues like this in my class, I’m very careful to not tell my students what to think but rather *how* to think about conservation disputes. Where you land on the issue is uniquely yours, a function of your values, heritage, economic preferences, beliefs on the purpose of public land and the role of wildlife in the 21st century.

🚨 IT'S OFFICIAL: Because the Senate GOP has NOT passed the SAVE America Act, Scott Presler is going full throttle for Ken Paxton over Sen. John Cornyn — a Thune ally — in Texas "I’m asking every Republican in Texas to vote for Ken Paxton in the Senate runoff on Tuesday, May 26th." WAR MODE! @ScottPresler Election integrity shouldn't take this much pushing.
ThePersistence@ScottPresler

So far, I’ve kept my promise. I’m asking every Republican in Texas to vote for Ken Paxton in the Senate runoff on Tuesday, May 26th.

@60Minutes @60minutes this is garbage reporting. The mainstream media is already trusted less than gas-station sushi, but shows why it shouldn't be trusted at all. I'm gonna repost @mattvanswol very apt reply. x.com/mattvanswol/st…
Matt Van Swol@mattvanswol

Out of every disgusting, dishonest piece of filth the mainstream media has produced about Hurricane Helene... This is the worst. 60 Minutes has NEVER done a story on the families FEMA denied. They NEVER mentioned the Amish, who are STILL in the mountains rebuilding homes 550 days later. They NEVER mentioned Jake Jarvis, who has worked 550 days STRAIGHT FOR FREE for Hurricane Helene victims. Instead, they dug up some fringe conspiracy angle to smear the people who actually showed up as White Nationalists. I'm so angry. Let me tell you what 60 Minutes will NEVER report on I was there. I lived it. I am still here. I shared every story I could find. Me, my wife, hundreds of volunteers delivered RVs to mothers holding babies who were sleeping in TOOL SHEDS AND TENTS in the freezing cold, in the mountains. Because their homes had been ripped off the side of a mountain and washed down the French Broad. So tell me 60 Minutes... WHERE WAS THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT? Tell me, WHY did all these volunteers NEED to show up? Any thoughts on that?!!!!! Any investigation AT ALL into the federal or state government's response to Hurricane Helene? Please tell me... if the federal government was doing such a GREAT JOB, why did we need to put victims in RVs... ...A MONTH AFTER THE HURRICANE?!!!!!!! Literally every single victim you talk to in Western North Carolina has a horror story about dealing with FEMA... ...and guess who they will all say actually cam through for them? Neighbors. Church groups. The Amish. The Cajun Navy. Shawn Hendricks. Samaritan's Purse. MercuryOne. The Mission Mules hauling insulin up washed-out roads, ONLY ACCESSIBLE by mules. Greg Biffle burning his own fuel in helicopters. Veterans like Adam Smith who organized helicopter rescues with other veterans BY HIMSELF and then was demonized by the media for it. Volunteers like Jake Jarvis working TO THIS DAY, 550 days later without ANY PAY AT ALL. THOSE ARE THE STORIES FROM HURRICANE HELENE WORTH TELLING. But 60 Minutes won't tell ANY OF THEM. Because the truth makes the federal government the villain and the "deplorables" are actually the heroes in this story and they can NEVER admit that. So instead they smeared the rescuers as white nationalists. This is unforgivable. I was there. I saw it with my own eyes. And I will BE DAMNED if I let CBS rewrite the history of what happened to my mountains.

Rep. Anna Paulina Luna
Hearing from trusted sources in the Senate that there’s an active push to reinsert pesticide liability protections into the Farm Bill, even after the House stripped them out. To the Senate: don’t. If this comes back with those protections included, we have the votes to kill it. A number of Republicans are already regretting their vote against the amendment and are feeling the pressure from MAHA moms back home for their reelections.

Peter Girnus 🦅@gothburz·
I am the Director of Strategic Planning at the California High-Speed Rail Authority. I have held this position for seventeen years. In that time I have written four business plans, overseen six revisions, and authored eleven methodology updates. The train has not moved. There is a hard hat on the shelf behind my desk. It was given to me at the Fresno groundbreaking ceremony in 2015. It is still in the cellophane. I use it as a bookend for the business plan binders. There are four binders. They are substantial. The hat holds them upright. In 2008, California voters approved Proposition 1A. San Francisco to Los Angeles. Two hours and forty minutes. Fifty-five dollars per ticket. Ninety-five million annual riders by 2030. Total cost: $33.5 billion. Fifty-three percent said yes. The current cost estimate is $231 billion. I am sometimes asked to provide context for that figure. The state housing shortage is 2.5 million units. At the California median home price, $231 billion would produce 577,000 of them. The average public school teacher in California earns $95,000. $231 billion is every one of their salaries for eight years. The state has a documented wildfire suppression staffing gap. $231 billion would fund 6,400 additional fire crews for a century. I include these comparisons for context. They are not relevant to my work. We have built 119 miles of infrastructure. Columns. Viaducts. Grade separations. You can see them from Highway 99 between Madera and Bakersfield. They stand in rows across land that used to grow things. No track runs on them. No train has touched them. Some of them have graffiti now. I have seen the photographs in the quarterly progress reports. I have not visited. There was an almond grower outside Hanford. She is in our files as Parcel 417, Hanford East. The Authority acquired twelve acres of her property through eminent domain in 2016 for right-of-way clearance. The trees were removed. The soil was graded flat. The right-of-way has been clear for nine years. Nothing has been built on Parcel 417. Her file notes that she attended three public comment hearings between 2014 and 2016. I do not know what she said at those hearings. I know what we said. We called the acquisition "a critical milestone in the project's advancement." I wrote those words for the 2016 Annual Report. They were well-received. Her contact information has been flagged in the Phase 2 preliminary assessment, in case additional right-of-way is required. Phase 2 does not yet exist. Her contact information does. The original completion date was 2020. The current target is 2032. The route has been revised from San Francisco-to-Los Angeles to Merced-to-Bakersfield. One hundred seventy-one miles. I refer to this as Phase 1. The French national rail company, SNCF, joined the project as a consulting partner in 2010. They left in 2011. They used the phrase "political dysfunction," which is diplomatic language for a country that built the Eiffel Tower in two years telling you it cannot build your train. SNCF then went to Morocco and built a high-speed rail line from Tangier to Casablanca. Two hundred miles. Operational by 2018. Seven years. We are in year eighteen. I included the SNCF departure in the 2022 business plan as a "comparative international case study." The lesson I drew was that Morocco has simpler permitting requirements. This is accurate. I did not draw other lessons. The $9.95 billion bond that voters approved costs the state $647 million per year for thirty years. Roughly $20 billion in total repayment. The bond is being serviced on schedule. $647 million leaves the state treasury every year and arrives in accounts associated with a train that does not carry passengers. It has done this since 2010. The bond repayment is the most functional transit system we have built. It moves $647 million a year. On time. Every time. In 2019, Governor Newsom said the project "would cost too much and, respectfully, take too long." He then continued funding it. I appreciated the word "respectfully." It acknowledged the problem without producing an obligation to solve it. My team delivered the 2020 business plan revision the following quarter. It was well-received. The Governor also supported legislation to shield certain cost details from public disclosure. That same year, thousands of pages were removed from the Authority's website. I was not involved in that decision. I was involved in the pages. Last Friday, a television host told the Governor on camera that the project now costs $231 billion. The Governor said, "No, it's not. It's not." The $231 billion figure is from the 2026 draft business plan. Page 47. I wrote page 47. The Governor then said we had gotten the project "back on track." I noted the phrasing. A rail project that has not yet laid operational track is not, in a strict sense, on one. I did not raise this. The ridership projection has been revised from 95 million annual riders by 2030 to 36 million by 2060. I updated that figure personally during the 2024 planning cycle. The ticket price has been revised from $55 to $105. Both figures describe a service that does not yet exist. The State Auditor published a report. The title is: "Flawed Decision Making and Poor Contract Management Have Contributed to Billions in Cost Overruns and Delays in the System's Construction." That is twenty words. We have 119 miles of columns that carry nothing. I read the report carefully. It was thorough. We incorporated its findings into the next business plan revision. The board was scheduled to vote on the latest business plan on April 29th. The vote was delayed. Additional review was requested. I support additional review. My pension vests in 2034. The project's current completion target is 2032. If the train is finished on schedule, my position becomes unnecessary two years before my pension matures. The completion date is determined by the business plan. I write the business plan. The plan says the project should continue. It has always said this. I have never written one that recommended otherwise.

Secretary Brooke Rollins
Today, just four companies — JBS, Cargill, Tyson Foods, and National Beef — control roughly 85% of the cattle processing market. That level of concentration has surged from just 25% in 1977 to 71% by 1992, and now to an astonishing 85%. Together, these companies operate through dozens of subsidiary businesses, creating a landscape that leaves many of our cattle producers with limited marketing options. For some ranchers this means less marketing opportunities, complicating an already challenging marketplace. We must work to address this to protect our ranchers and consumers. @POTUS and this administration are focused on promoting fairness and competition — ensuring our producers have options and a level playing field. 🇺🇸🥩

@CharlieReu89745 @SecRollins Warren prevented merger btwn 2 airlines that combined were <10% of market. Rollins is speaking out vs power of meat processing equivalent of AA, Delta, United, & SW. Warren equivalent would be preventing few small ranchers NOT JBS, Cargill, Tyson Foods, & Natl Beef from merging.
