WWW.PROPUBLICA.ORGProPublica Updates Supreme Connections Database With Newly Released Financial Disclosuresby Sergio Hernndez ProPublica is a nonprofit newsroom that investigates abuses of power. Sign up to receive our biggest stories as soon as theyre published. We updated our Supreme Connections database with newly released financial disclosures from eight Supreme Court justices on Friday, covering the 2024 calendar year.Supreme Connections is our database that makes it easy for anyone to browse justices financial disclosures and to search for connections to people and companies mentioned within them. This update includes disclosures filed in May and made public late last month. Justice Samuel Alito received a 90-day extension, and his disclosure is expected later this summer.The latest update details millions in book income, almost 40 trips and one gift.Among the disclosures:Justice Clarence Thomas 2024 disclosure listed no gifts or travel reimbursements. In 2023, a ProPublica investigation revealed that Thomas was a frequent recipient of luxury travel and gifts from billionaire benefactors and that he often failed to disclose them. Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson reported a $2.07 million advance from Penguin Random House for her memoir, Lovely One, published in 2024. She also disclosed more than a dozen reimbursed trips to cities including Los Angeles, New York, Miami, Seattle, Chicago and Boston, mostly in connection with her book tour.Justice Sonia Sotomayor disclosed a $60,000 book advance and over $73,000 in additional royalty payments, also from Penguin Random House. She listed eight reimbursed trips from various universities, including international travel to Panama City, Zurich and Vienna, as well as a $1,437 gift from the Coterie Theatre in Kansas City, Mo.Justice Neil Gorsuch reported $250,000 in royalties from HarperCollins, plus income from teaching at George Mason University. He took at least six paid-for trips, including international travel to Germany and Portugal, and domestic stops in Los Angeles, Dallas, Philadelphia, and Williamsburg, Virginia.Justice Amy Coney Barrett received $31,815 in teaching income from the University of Notre Dame and reported three trips, including travel to Malibu, California, and two visits to Notre Dame.Justice Brett Kavanaugh reported $31,815 in teaching income from Notre Dame and listed two trips there.Justice Elena Kagan reported a trip to New York City for a speech at New York University.Chief Justice John Roberts disclosed two reimbursed trips: one to Galway, Ireland, and another to West Point, New York, for events hosted by New England Law and the United States Military Academy, respectively.Weve also added new ways to view the justices investment holdings. Previously, investments were sorted by value. Now, you can group investments by account to see how justices structure their holdings, or you can sort investments by the order in which they appear on the original disclosure forms, making it easier to cross-reference our data to the original filings.Browse the database to learn more.

WWW.PRIDE.COMWhat is herbal magic? How LGBTQ+ people can reap its health benefitsEvery season has its unique magic, but there's something about summer that hits a little differently. The warmer temperatures prompt our bodies to move, the lasting light brightens our thoughts, and, perhaps most of all, we sense an urgency to get outdoors and connect with nature.A stroll through the park, which just a few weeks ago felt arduous, now feels appealing. The trees, though armed with sneaky bursts of pollen, sway beautifully against the bright blue sky. Summer encourages us to stop and smell the rosesbut plants, flowers, and herbs offer us much more than sweet scents and pretty pops of color.The lush bounty of the season also provides us with opportunities to access nature as a spiritual gateway.Herbal magic, commonly referred to as the practice of using botanicals for spiritual purposes, is an ancient tradition with roots in nearly every culture. Many of the folk customs that were commonplace to our ancestors relied heavily on herbs and plants. A good number of those old-world practices have survived centuries or been revived by the current burgeoning interest in the body/mind/spirit connection. It's not unusual to keep an aloe plant in the kitchen to quickly soothe burns and cuts, and peppermint leaves are often used to calm an upset stomach.Scientific studies even support the benefits of indoor plants and the advantages of spending time in the greener corners of the environment. Burning sage or rosemary to cleanse a home or office of negative energy has become a regular wellness practice. Whether using lavender to enhance relaxation or mugwort to facilitate communication with the spirit world, nature's leafy gifts have long provided us with sustenance, strength, and healing.This is especially true for queer people, who have regularly faced discriminationif not outright exclusionfrom healthcare communities and specific spiritual spaces. In many instances, this has led to self-directed learning and the discovery of practices that address the queer identity in body and spirit.Using herbal magic as a path to healing, prayer, or mystical experiences can be particularly enriching. Too often, people cling to the idea that self-transformation or the impact of magical practices requires grand rituals, candle-laden spells, or incantations that have been passed down through ancestral lineage. In fact, nothing could be further from the truth. The folk magic of our ancestors was rooted in simplicity: in the flowers that grew in the fields, the herb-filled pouches or satchels that lined cupboards and kitchen counters, the trees that cast long shadows in the forests.Today, however, not many of us have access to nature in all of her raw beauty.Urban life is characterized by smog, poor air quality, noise pollution, and overcrowding. Even treasured city parks have a tendency to feel inundated with people and the messy aftermath of their presence. And those who have easy access to wooded trails or well-curated gardens aren't necessarily aware of the power that herbs and flowers possess. Perhaps one of the most overlooked aspects of queer magicespecially queer herbalismis its direct connection to the past.The healers who knew the secret, mystical properties of herbs were often branded outcasts and persecuted; they were accused of witchcraft, consorting with demons, and harming both people and animals. Many paid with their lives. But many weathered the storm of being ostracized. They emerged from the shadows to share their gifts with generations that followed. That resilient spirit is inextricably bound to the queer experience. Our forbearers endured and passed their knowledge on to us, knowledge that continues to empower us as we face our own battles and claim our own triumphs.Herbal magic is a reflection of the cycle of life, death, and ultimate rebirth, and incorporating it into your life is a straightforward process. Botanicals can be used for a variety of purposes, from alleviating stress and coping with grief to attracting a romantic partner or landing a new job. A practice can be as simple as placing your chosen flowers in a vase next to a picture of a loved one who needs healing energy, or honoring your own body with love by taking a bath into which rose petals have been sprinkled. One of the most common ways to employ herbal magic is through the use of a sachet: a small pouch or bag filled with selected herbs that is mentally "charged" with an intention. The sachet can then be worn as an amulet or talisman, strung around a bedpost, or carried discreetly in a purse or pocket.Think about an area of your life that you'd like to change. Do you need more self-esteem? Is there a person you wish to cut ties with? Do you want more peace in your home? Would you like a new home? You may want more money or a romantic relationship. It's also important to remember that herbal magic doesn't stop with you. Your loved ones can benefit from your knowledge of the spiritual properties of plants, flowers, and herbs. Once you've decided on which aspect of your life you want to shake up, or which friend or family member you want to help, peruse the following list, gather your botanicals, and then set your intention. As that intention blossoms, so will your connection to nature.You might not entertain the urge to run naked through a forest at dawn, but you'll start to feel a shift in the way you relate to the environment. The wind will caress your skin. Those raindrops will taste sweet on your lips. The sunlight will illuminate paths you haven't noticed before. And you'll realize that the firmness beneath your feet isn't merely concrete or gravel but earthstabilizing, nourishing, alive.Perspectives is dedicated to featuring a wide range of inspiring personal stories and impactful opinions from the LGBTQ+ and Allied community.

WWW.PROPUBLICA.ORGHis Former Company Got Caught Employing Undocumented Workers. Now Hes Profiting Off an Immigrant Detention Camp.by Avi Asher-Schapiro and Jeff Ernsthausen ProPublica is a nonprofit newsroom that investigates abuses of power. Sign up to receive our biggest stories as soon as theyre published. On Monday, the Department of Defense announced that it had awarded a massive new contract to build the nations largest migrant detention camp on the Fort Bliss military base, a facility that will play a key role in the Trump administrations deportation plans.Unmentioned was that one of the subcontractors slated to work on the project, Disaster Management Group, is owned by Nathan Albers, who previously co-owned a company that pleaded guilty in 2019 to a scheme to hire undocumented workers and conceal them from immigration authorities. Albers is a big-time Republican donor who has spent time at Mar-a-Lago.Two people with direct knowledge of the award and two familiar with the company told ProPublica that Disaster Management Group would help build the new facility, receiving a substantial chunk of the more than $1.2 billion the government has allocated for the project.The idea that you could use illegal labor and then sell services to ICE, the irony is thick, said Scott Shuchart, a former official with the Department of Homeland Security and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement during President Donald Trumps first term and later under President Joe Biden, referring to the immigration case involving TentLogix, the company Albers once co-owned.In response to questions from ProPublica, a spokesperson for Disaster Management said that Albers and Disaster Management had been dropped from the DHS investigation of TentLogix and exonerated. Upon learning of illegal actions by TentLogixs co-founder, the spokesperson said, Mr. Albers parted ways as a minority and non-operating owner of TentLogix.The spokesperson didnt directly answer questions about Disaster Managements role in the detention camp at Fort Bliss, saying only that the company is proud to support projects of national importance for nearly 20 years.The White House didnt answer questions about Disaster Management or Albers, referring ProPublica to the DOD and DHS, neither of which provided comment.The new migrant detention camp near El Paso, Texas, is expected to hold up to 5,000 people. The prime contractor is Virginia-based Acquisition Logistics, and people with direct knowledge of the work at Fort Bliss told ProPublica that Amentum, a major engineering and technology services contractor, will be another subcontractor. Neither Acquisition Logistics nor Amentum replied to questions from ProPublica about the project.Disaster Management specializes in building temporary structures. Since 2020, its won over $500 million in government contracting work, mostly to construct lodgings for a U.S. program to resettle Afghan refugees.Last year, the Department of Labor announced that it had found Disaster Management and subcontractors it worked with on the Afghan refugee contract violated federal labor laws, including those on minimum wages and overtime. The agency recovered nearly $16 million in pay for workers, and Disaster Management signed a compliance agreement with the agency designed to prevent further violations. The company didnt respond to questions about the case.Albers ties to TentLogix wouldnt have excluded him or Disaster Management from other government contracting work, explained Scott Amey, the general counsel at the Project On Government Oversight.TentLogix reported its criminal conviction in the federal contracting database, but Albers and his other businesses are considered separate legal entities. Companies awarded federal contracts are required to certify that they operate with a satisfactory record of business ethics, but a lot of things are not required to be reported, Amey said. I dont even think this would appear on the radar of a contracting officer.Still, theres a web of connections between TentLogix and Disaster Management. Albers was one of TentLogixs two directors when it pleaded guilty to violating immigration law. The other, Gary Hendry, co-founded Disaster Management with Albers, and the two were once brothers-in-law. When immigration authorities raided TentLogix in 2018, it shared an address with Disaster Management.The raid followed a 2016 Homeland Security Investigations audit of Tentlogix, which found the company had 96 undocumented employees on its books. According to court records, Hendry then attempted to deceive investigators by creating a shell company and transferring the undocumented workers to that entity to conceal them from Homeland Security Investigations auditors. But the agency discovered the scheme and found undocumented workers at the companys site when officials raided it in 2018. That year, Albers was listed as one of four officers on the companys corporate filings.In 2019, Hendry pleaded guilty to immigration charges alongside another company officer and was sentenced to a year in prison. (He served a little over three months, then was granted an early release because of the pandemic.) TentLogix, the corporate entity, also pleaded guilty and was ordered to forfeit over $3 million. Although Albers was not personally charged, he signed off on the companys guilty plea, court records show. The company filed for bankruptcy in 2020.Hendry did not respond to a request for comment.Disaster Managements federal contracting work has been lucrative for Albers. Last year, he purchased a $30 million house in Jupiter, Florida, that then ranked as the areas most expensive home.Albers also has recently become a large donor to Republican campaigns, to which hes given more than $150,000 in the last year alone. He and his wife spent election night at Mar-a-Lago in 2024 and once co-chaired a charity fundraiser at the Trump National Golf Club with the presidents son, Eric, and his wife. They attended the Crypto Ball, a cryptocurrency event sponsored by Trump supporters in the digital currency industry; participants paid between $2,500 and $1 million for tickets. (The Trump Organization did not respond to questions from ProPublica.) Kimberly Albers, center, posted photos on Instagram showing her and her husband, Nathan, right, at Mar-a-Lago on election night last year. (Screenshot by ProPublica) Since late last year, Disaster Management has spent $210,000 lobbying Congress and the administration on immigration-related issues, including funding related to temporary facilities. The company had no prior history of lobbying, according to federal disclosures.Disaster Managements share of the immigration detention contract for Fort Bliss could rank among the companys largest contracts. The Fort Bliss award comes as immigration arrests have soared in recent months and ICE is running low on space to hold everyone it has detained. In the past, those arrested by ICE would mostly be housed in brick-and-mortar detention facilities.But in its urgency to increase deportations, the Trump administration has turned to contractors to build so-called soft-sided facilities tents with rigid structures inside that can be set up much more quickly.The administration has eyed military bases as locations to set up these new detention camps. In April, ICE announced a $3.8 billion award to build such a facility to Deployed Resources, which had operated the lions share of the soft-sided facilities used in the past to temporarily house immigrants entering the country along the southern border.ICE abruptly canceled that contract just days after it was announced without explanation. Now it appears Disaster Management could do much of that work. An industry insider estimated to ProPublica that Disaster Managements slice of the $1.2 billion contract at Fort Bliss could be worth hundreds of millions for the company in the next year, though its not clear how the three contractors will split the work. Bloomberg first reported the total value of the Fort Bliss contract.The facility at Fort Bliss is expected to be the first of many. Earlier in the month, Trump signed a spending bill that allocates $45 billion to build new migrant detention sites. Experts estimate this could roughly double the countrys capacity for immigration detention from around 50,000 people to more than 100,000. Mica Rosenberg contributed reporting. Pratheek Rebala, Kirsten Berg and Mario Ariza contributed research.0 Commenti 0 condivisioni 138 Views 0 Anteprima

WWW.LGBTQNATION.COMGay fraudster George Santos has online meltdown as 6.5-year prison sentence begins todayGay pathological liar, former Rep. George Santos (R-NY), begins serving his 6.5-year prison sentence for campaign finance fraud today. In the days leading up to it, he published numerous social media posts in which he admitted that hes disassociating, thinking about death, and threatening to bury any journalist who publicly discloses the prison where hell be staying.Reporters trying to find out the location Im surrendering to beware of this, he warned. there will be an investigation and whoever your source is in the BOP or Marshals office they will be buried alongside you. That is a promise. Related Gay fraud & former Rep. George Santos throws away chance at presidential pardon He called Trumps inner circle a bunch of guard dogs who have told him to go f himself. On Monday, he wrote, Its an understatement to say that I have started to dissociate. Never Miss a Beat Subscribe to our newsletter to stay ahead of the latest LGBTQ+ political news and insights. Subscribe to our Newsletter today In another post, he wrote, Politics/Government is dirty and I deeply regret getting so involved. He also wrote that some people in government manipulated me and lied to me about [House] Speaker [Mike] Johnson [R-LA]. Santos wrote that he had been told that New York state Republicans had pressured Johnson into opposing a vacating of his prison sentence. I lashed out at the speaker for believing what I was told, he added. I stand corrected and right now/ today is the perfect time to say the truth and clear that up!Im not trying to tweet my way out of prison folks, he wrote in another post. But I sure as s**t will wreak havoc with the truth before then. The next 48hrs Ill be leaving a bunch out on the field and dont give a rats a** about it. Im confident. He then wrote, Ill be [dying] in prison granted my situation so I dont want to die and let all this die with me. Santos has said that hes worried about being seriously harmed in prison by immigrants angered by his anti-immigration rhetoric.He then claimed that the leader and organizer of the fraud that led to his prison sentence was his former campaign treasurer Nancy Marks. Marks pleaded guilty in October 2023to conspiring to defraud the U.S. government and was sentenced to three years probation.They pinned me as a ring leader and organizer of the actions that took place in my campaign, Santos further claimed. Santos has repeatedlyclaimedthat the trial against him was politicized and accused the court of violating his free speech rights byusing his old social media postsas justification to give him a 6.5-year prison sentence, instead of the two-year sentence that his lawyers sought.Santos has also said that he will flee the United States after he is released from prison around age 44but his promise is doubtful, considering his long history of lying and breaking promises.The disgraced former congressmanstole and used another mans checksin his home country of Brazil (and lied about it),appeared in public as a drag queen(and lied about it),lied about extensive parts of his campaign biographywhile running for office includingabout being Jewish and then professed complete innocence of the charges against him until he accepted a plea deal to avoid more prison time. What is George Santos guilty of?Last August, Santos admitted to using campaign funds, another persons identity, and their credit cards for his own personal benefit. A November 16, 2023, House Ethics Committee reportaccused Santos of illegally spending campaign fundson luxury goods, OnlyFans subscriptions, and cosmetic Botox treatments. Immediately after, the Housevoted to expel Santos in a 311-114 votethat included 105 Republicans and surpassing the 290 votes needed for expulsion.Santos originally faced23 federal charges of campaign finance fraud, including wire fraud, identity theft, money laundering, theft of public funds, and making materially false statements to both the Federal Election Commission and the U.S. House of Representatives. Santos has since admitted that he lied about graduating from Baruch College and New York University, working directly for Citigroup and Goldman Sachs, and living at a fake address in his congressional district. He provided no additional proof to back up claims that he founded a charity called Friends of Pets, that he lost four employees in the June 2016 Pulse nightclub shooting, and that his mother died in connection to the September 11 terrorist attacks.After his expulsion, Santos began making moneycreating personalized videos on the Cameo platform. Santos claimed that his largely fake campaign biography which hepreviously admitted fabricatingdue tostupidityandinsecurity was actually falsified by an unnamed former campaign staffer.From his creation of a wholly fictitious biography to his callous theft of money from elderly and impaired donors, Santoss unrestrained greed and voracious appetite for fame enabled him to exploit the very system by which we select our representatives, Department of Justice prosecutors wrote in their request for a seven-year prison sentence.After joining Congress, Santoscosponsored a bill to roll back LGBTQ+ civil rightsand one toban LGBTQ+ books from schools. He also made public statementsagainst transgender peopleand the so-calledradical rainbow mafia.Additionally, he said thatLGBTQ+ families create troubled individuals.Subscribe to theLGBTQ Nation newsletterand be the first to know about the latest headlines shaping LGBTQ+ communities worldwide.0 Commenti 0 condivisioni 113 Views 0 Anteprima
