Congressman Jim Baird (IN-04) released the following statement regarding the vote on H.R. 1968, the Full-Year Continuing Appropriations and Extensions Act of 2025:

While this bill is not perfect, I voted for this Continuing Resolution (CR) because it freezes spending levels, prevents a costly shutdown, and ensures critical programs and services such as Medicare, Social Security, and Veterans’ benefits can continue without disruption. This CR provides Congress and President Trump with a path to focus on delivering real results for Hoosier families, including historic tax cuts, securing our borders, and rooting out waste, fraud, and abuse in our federal agencies. House Democrats are playing absurd political games and voted to shut down the government to thwart the President’s successful America First agenda. House Republicans are unlocking the ability to make lasting changes to Washington, D.C. so that the government works for the American people, not the other way around.

We The People Are Being Ignored

It seems that We The People have a better understanding of what’s going on than the politicians do.

In conflict with Congressional intent and the Administrative Procedure Act, the previous administration unilaterally released two separate memorandums, entitled “Policy on Using Bipartisan Infrastructure Law Resources to Build a Better America” and “Policy on Using Bipartisan Infrastructure Law Resources to Build a Better America.” These Biden-era memos displaced the long-standing authorities granted to States by law, and added meritless and costly burdens related to greenhouse gas emissions and equity initiatives.

Secretary Duffy said, “Under President Trump’s leadership, the Department of Transportation is getting back to basics — building critical infrastructure projects that move people and move commerce safely. The previous administration flouted Congress in an attempt to push a radical social and environmental agenda on the American people. This was an act of federal overreach. It stops now.”

The Department’s rescission memo affirms that these Biden-era policies have no basis in statute and have no role in DOT programs going forward.

How They Voted

This was a party-line vote with “RINO” Republicans Lisa Murkowski, Alaska, and Susan Collins, Maine, dissenting and joining the Democrats and liberal independents in voting “nay.”

Kash Patel’s Mission

I am honored to be confirmed as the ninth Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation.

Thank you to President Trump and Attorney General Bondi for your unwavering confidence and support.

The FBI has a storied legacy—from the “G-Men” to safeguarding our nation in the wake of 9/11. The American people deserve an FBI that is transparent, accountable, and committed to justice. The politicalization of our justice system has eroded public trust—but that ends today.

My mission as Director is clear: let good cops be cops—and rebuild trust in the FBI.

Working alongside the dedicated men and women of the Bureau and our partners, we will rebuild an FBI the American people can be proud of.

And to those who seek to harm Americans—consider this your warning. We will hunt you down in every corner of this planet.

Mission First. America Always. Let’s get to work.

– Kash Patel

PUBLISHER’S DESCRIPTION

A sinister cabal of corrupt law enforcement personnel, intelligence agents, and military officials at the highest levels of government plotted to overthrow a president. Even after they failed, they continue to secretly pull the levers of power without any accountability to the American people. This isn’t the synopsis of a fictional spy thriller. This is what is actually happening in the United States government.

In Government Gangsters, Kash Patel—a former top official in the White House, the Department of Defense, the Intelligence Community, and the Department of Justice—pulls back the curtain on the Deep State, revealing the major players and tactics within the permanent government bureaucracy, which has spent decades stripping power away from the American people and their elected leaders. Based on his firsthand knowledge, Patel reveals how we can defeat the Deep State, reassert self-government, and restore our democracy.

When legacy mainstream media heard White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt mention yesterday that the U.S. Government was spending $8 MILLION on Politico subscriptions, they immediately went into “right-wing conspiracy theory” name-calling mode, claiming that wasn’t correct because what they heard in their head was “USAID was paying $8M on Politico subscriptions.”

Here’s the full clip:

In the CNN version of the story, they stated that “All federal agencies combined spent $8.2 million last year on Politico Pro, according to USASpending.gov.”

So, as they say, we decided to follow the money to see what the numbers were. Assuming the data pull is correct, CNN was under by around $400,000 for 2024.

A quick search of USAspending.gov shows that since 2015 the U.S. Government has sent $34,260,546 to POLITICO, LLC (Recipient ID: T8JGE1LE8933).

The breakdown is as follows:

• 2015: $13,690.00
• 2016: $475,715.28
• 2017: $1,063,373.00
• 2018: $1,378,867.66
• 2019: $1,491,747.87
• 2020: $2,773,972.82
• 2021: $4,402,032.65
• 2022: $5,892,578.39
• 2023: $7,831,862.48
• 2024: $8,622,084.51
• 2025 (YTD): $314,621.00

Twelve awarding agencies topped the one million dollar mark (2015-YTD):

1. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS): $6,969,671
2. Department of Energy (DOE): $4,210,124
3. Department of the Interior (DOI): $3,519,177
4. Department of Agriculture (USDA): $2,535,631
5. Executive Office of the President (EOP): $2,206,269
6. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA): $2,009,039
7. Department of Transportation (DOT): $1,845,420
8. Department of the Treasury (TREAS): $1,437,703
9. Department of Commerce (DOC): $1,336,685
10. Department of Homeland Security (DHS): $1,251,016
11. Government Accountability Office (GAO): $1,059,221
12. Department of State (DOS): $1,016,845

Rounding out the top fifteen agencies are the Department of Defense (DOD) at $863,719, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) at $473,500, and the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) at $460,921.

As a business, sure, subscriptions are an expense that you can take out, but we’re talking about the government AND taxpayer dollars here. And what’s reportedly a $12,000 – $15,000 base subscription cost for Politico Pro doesn’t even compare to the cost of a newspaper or magazine.

Our take at the moment is that this data seems cut and dry, and this is a strange hill for legacy media as a whole to die on. Unless, of course, this goes far beyond the budget of Politico, which may very well be the case. It would seem that we have more digging to do.

On page 25 (of 1,547) we have THREE MILLION DOLLARS earmarked for molasses inspections.

…the Secretary shall use $3,000,000 to carry out regular testing for the purposes of verifying and validating the methodology and protocols of the inspection of molasses at any United States ports of entry, including whether the molasses meets each statutory requirement without the use of additives or blending, relevant definitional explanatory notes, and each property typical of molasses in the United States as directed in Senate Report 118–193.

We could be wrong, but molasses testing by the Federal Government probably isn’t vital to keeping the country running, which is what a Continuing Resolution bill is supposed to address.

“After carefully considering the trial court’s findings in its order, we conclude that it erred by failing to disqualify DA Willis and her office. The remedy crafted by the trial court to prevent an ongoing appearance of impropriety did nothing to address the appearance of impropriety that existed at times when DA Willis was exercising her broad pretrial discretion about who to prosecute and what charges to bring.”
