Support the Slash the Pentagon Act and demand power to the people—not the war machine. Tell Congress to invest in healthcare, housing, food, and good jobs.
Done sent edited letters. Mayor Mamdani is looking into the legalities of having Netanyahu arrested should he arrive at the UN meetings. Trump is declaring that he will not be arrested. But I know the people of New York City will be very loud and clear in supporting Mayor Mamdani.
I wanted to flag a story idea about Trump’s expanding control over critical materials, especially rare earths. There’s a strong investigative angle here around how the administration is using federal stakes, price floors, and deal-making to shape ownership and competition in strategically important industries.
A piece on this would help explain whether this is ordinary industrial policy or something closer to a government monopoly over the materials that power semiconductors, defense, batteries, and manufacturing. MP Materials and Vulcan Elements would be strong examples to anchor the story, along with the broader pattern across Intel, lithium, and steel.
Could you please write something about this? Thank you so much!
The Pentagon’s $620 million loan to Vulcan Elements—soon after investment from Donald Trump Jr.’s venture firm—raises questions about transparency, influence, and the rapid push to expand domestic rare earth production.
Vulcan Elements — Trump Jr.’s firm 1789 Capital took an undisclosed stake in August 2025, and the company later received a large Pentagon loan and equity support.
Kazakhstani critical minerals project tied to Cove Capital / SkyLine Builders — reporting says Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump invested in a company connected to a tungsten project backed by U.S. government financing.
USA Rare Earth — one report says the Trump administration agreed to support this mining and manufacturing company, and later reporting linked Trump Jr.-adjacent capital to the broader rare-earth investment wave.
Other 1789 Capital portfolio companies in defense and industrial tech — not all are rare earths, but the firm’s portfolio includes businesses in sectors that overlap with critical materials and defense supply chains.
All these distractions to get people to forget about The Trumpstein and Associates File. What’s going to be next a food shortage? Another war?

Can you send articles you think would be good for research on this subject?
Some examples:

I found two good articles:
Critical Conflicts: Trump Subsidizes Dirty Mining at the Expense of Public Lands By Public Citizen
trump is building a communist economy By Wendy Lawrence (Glass Empires)
Be sure to report this to MeidasTouch, The Parnas Perspective, Brian Tyler Cohen, Occupy Democrats.
The Pentagon has wasted enough American money supporting Israel's war.
That money has too many uses here ,at home.
What ever happened to the infrastructure bill or paying off Trump's girlfriends.
We could even use the money for Hegseth's testosterone tests.
Agree
The time has come for the PEOPLE TO TAKE OVER THIS WAR! Trump’s failing miserably and AMERICANS ARE SUFFERING!
