A Reminder that Antofagasta’s Copper and Nickel Mine on the edge of the Boundary Waters is a Coordinated Political Project
In my most recent post about the Senate vote to overturn the Rainy River Watershed Mineral Withdrawal, I made the simple point (for what seems the umpteenth time, forgive me) that this latest bid to hand over the Boundary Waters to a foreign mining company is part of a coordinated political project, one that stretches back to Trump’s first term and with connections to Project 2025.
The coordinating is being done behind closed doors, much of it by Antofagasta’s lobbyists, and nowadays that means The Bernhardt Group, the lobbying firm that Trump’s former Secretary of Interior, David Bernhardt, set up last year. The Group has edged out all other firms and now exclusively runs the Antofagasta lobbying game in DC.
Now we have The Bernhardt Group’s lobbying disclosures for the first quarter of 2026. The form shows a slight increase in revenue — from $110,000 in the final quarters of 2025 to $120,000 this quarter. Three Bernhardt lobbyists worked every room necessary: the House, the Senate, Interior, Executive Office of the President, and USDA.
It’s notable that the Group did not lobby DOJ this quarter, as they did in 2025. As I remarked last week, passing HJR 140 likely rendered moot the case before the DC District Court of Appeals. A favorable judgment in that case seemed highly unlikely.
Having worked with the federal government to put that case on hold, the Bernhardt Group could focus instead on the political front. The House and Senate passed House Joint Resolution 140 to overturn the mineral withdrawal. The Executive Office of the President could be involved in all sorts of ways, and it’s worth remembering that one of the most powerful figures in that Office these days is Russell Vought, architect of Project 2025; the agencies (Interior and USDA) had to be captured and controlled — easy enough with people like Doug Burgum and Brooke Rollins in charge.
Under their direction, the agencies will now start taking steps to approve Antofagasta’s lease applications (the stated object on these federal disclosures) and move the Twin Metals project toward the permitting phase.

Trump: Buy American, Unless It’s for My Ballroom
President Trump, who has long married “protecting American steel” with his “Make America Great Again” slogan, reportedly accepted tens of millions of dollars in donated steel from a foreign firm for his ballroom just days before he slashed tariffs in half that could help one of its plants.
According to a report by the New York Times from earlier this week, two people familiar with the White House ballroom plans said the steel was made in Europe by ArcelorMittal, a Luxembourg-based steel manufacturer.
European Steel?! Get a rope.

I've seen farmers get bigger daily fines than this for relatively far more minor code infractions. Illegal marijuana grow-op? $10,000 per day. Illegal abundance of storage containers stored in non-industrial zones? $1,000 per day.
District Court Judge Carl Nichols, appointed by President Donald Trump in 2019, ordered Lindell at the end of March to pay Smartmatic $56,369 in attorney fees by April 7 – as well as an additional $500 for each day he failed to do so.

Former modeling agent Paolo Zampolli, a Trump confidant who introduced the president to his wife, Melania Trump, allegedly contacted a top Immigration and Customs Enforcement official to help deport his Brazilian ex-girlfriend Amanda Ungaro during a custody battle over their teenage son, according to The New York Times.
Zampolli reportedly approached ICE official David Venturella after Ungaro was arrested on fraud charges at a Miami jail, requesting she be placed in ICE detention, citing her immigration status. Records acquired by The Times indicate Ungaro was picked up by ICE agents before making bail and subsequently deported

@wakame @futurebird After I switched a certain workplace to Moodle and saved them millions they had been paying Adobe, a high-school educated director who allegedly got that position thanks to connections told me to "put Moodle on blockchain so that people can't cheat on exams".
ETA: Don't get me wrong, many competent people only have high school education, but for a director in that company a master's degree was a requirement.

"We can't let them fail! They're too big!"
Then you didn't have capitalism.
You had socialism for corporations and "personal responsibility" for everyone else.
Privatised profits, socialised losses.
It's not a bailout. It's theft with a press release.
