I took a hard look at the financial donors to ICE’s biggest supporters in Congress. These are people who want to significantly expand ICE’s power and have sponsored or co-sponsored legislation to do so. Here are the top 25 consumer brands bankrolling the biggest ICE supporters in Congress:

Thou shalt not call yourself a “free speech warrior” and then spend all your time getting people fired for using free speech.

Cal-Maine, the biggest egg producer, has been accused of using bird flu as cover to jack up prices and triple its profits from a year ago. It also received $22M in federal aid. While you're getting gouged at the grocery store, your tax dollars are subsidizing corporate greed.

Little Rainey's #249761 life is in danger. She arrived in Apple Valley CA on March 13 and is now approaching the front of the line and will be added to the euthanasia list very shortly. This beautiful girl looks like a young puppy and is deserving of a life with a family -

The current red lantern, Jenny Roddewig, is on the move! Plus clarification about her stolen drop bags. I don't know Jenny personally but from the interactions I've had w/ her, she seems like a class act and someone who really does everything for her dogs. Someone to cheer for, for sure. #mushersky

Facebook post from Sage Mountain Sled Dogs: UPDATE: They're on the move again!!! What a day. Jenny has been through a lot, but the dogs were able to get some quality rest while "Mom" hunted down enough supplies that they could safely continue their journey. The dogs are in good spirits, which is what is most important.

Jenny's family was able to have a conference call with Race Marshall, Warren Palfrey, and Jason (who was the volunteer checker in Kaltag) where some clarifying information was provided. First, there were checkers in Kaltag when she arrived (thanks, Jason!), only 2 out of her 4 drop bags were missing, and the checkers were able to assist Jenny in her search for supplies. Cell phone reception is spotty at best in those areas, which made it difficult to collect the most accurate information prior to this conference call. Please help share this information far and wide!

Jenny is one tough, smart, and strong woman! Her and Mike work hard and give everything they've got into providing the best care and life for their pups. The dogs mean everything to them. It is truly inspiring to watch! To be able to pick yourself up and keep moving forward after a rough day while fighting sleep deprivation and still providing top-notch care to the pups is truly amazing!

Continued: I've received several messages inquiring how we can best support Jenny. Prayers, positive vibes, and good feelings are welcome! You can leave her a note here in the comment section, or at iditarod.com/mushergrams . The pizza place in Unalakleet, Peace on Earth, takes orders over the phone and will deliver to the checkpoint for mushers. A nice hot pizza might be just the pick-me-up she needs upon reaching the coast! Uplifting comments and prayers are more than enough, and we appreciate them all! But if you felt so inclined, you could consider sponsoring one of the dogs (link below), or donate to the bootie fund through Jenny's Venmo (instructions on photo caption). As little as $5 can provide a set of 4 booties to one of the dogs. It takes a village, and we couldn't be more grateful for all of the support offered by all of you and all the helpers along the trail. Thank you!! ❤🙌

Getting rid of the American workers who take care of American veterans is wrong. Veterans will not take this sitting down - we can make this the newest example of Trump being forced to back down from a bad move.

Trump administration plans to cut 80,000 employees from Veterans Affairs, according to internal memo

The Department of Veterans Affairs is planning an “aggressive” reorganization that includes cutting 80,000 jobs from the sprawling agency.
