The top two Republicans and Democrats on the congressional appropriations committees are quietly protesting the White House’s decision to take down a special website tracking federal spending,
escalating a battle between Congress and Donald Trump over spending powers.
In a previously undisclosed letter sent last month to Russell Vought, the director of the Office of Management and Budget,
the lawmakers questioned the rationale for shutting down the website,
which they and advocacy groups said was a violation of the law.
“We look forward to working with you to restore public access to apportionment data in accordance with statute,” they wrote.
The letter was signed by Representative Tom #Cole of Oklahoma and Senator Susan #Collins of Maine, the Republican chairs of the House and Senate appropriations committees,
and the two senior Democrats on those panels, Representative Rosa #DeLauro of Connecticut and Senator Patty #Murray of Washington.

Please understand that #Murkowski, #Collins, and #McConnell only voted against #Hegseth because they could do so without endangering his nomination. It was a fake vote of conscience intended to contribute to salvaging their unsalvageable reputations. If Hegseth had needed their votes to be confirmed, they would have voted for him. Which senators get to vote performatively like this without endangering the outcome is carefully choreographed in advance of the vote.

12 year old Lahnert boy, near Ft. Collins, Colo., topping beets. The father, mother, and two boys (9 and 12 yrs.) expect to make $700 in about 2 months time in the beet work. "The boys can keep up with me all right, and all day long," the father said. Begin at 6 A.M. and work until 6 P.M. with hour off at noon. Several smaller children not work. See Hine Report for studies of amount of work done by these and other children. Oct. 30/15. Location: Ft. Collins vicinity, Colorado

The image shows a young boy in the foreground wearing a wide-brimmed hat and holding what appears to be a tool, possibly for harvesting or digging. He is surrounded by fallen plant debris on the ground around him, suggesting that he may have been working with crops. In the background, there are two other individuals who appear to be adults sitting down amidst similar surroundings of vegetation waste. The overall tone of the image has a sepia-like tint and appears aged, which indicates it might be an old photograph from historical records or archives. Based on the provided context information, this photo seems to depict 12-year-old Lahnert boy working in Fort Collins, Colorado during autumn harvesting season. It's noted that he works alongside his family members who are also involved in beet work and expects a financial gain of $700 over about two months. The father mentioned the boys' capability to keep up with him throughout the day, implying their physical strength for such labor. The image is likely part of Hine Report studies on children's working conditions and hours during this time period which was documented in October 1915 near Fort Collins vicinity, Colorado.

The image is a sepia-toned photograph showing two young boys in an outdoor setting, likely from the early 20th century. The boy on the left appears to be around 12 years old and is wearing what seems like work clothes consisting of a dark jacket, trousers, and boots, along with a cap possibly worn backwards or tilted for comfort while working outside. He's holding up his right hand which has an object resembling a small tool in it. It could potentially be something he uses during the beet harvest. His left arm is bent as if reaching down to pick something from the ground covered with dried leaves, suggesting they might be harvesting crops such as sugar beets. The boy on the right appears younger and less dressed for physical labor compared to his companion; only a part of him is visible but he seems to have no hat. In contrast to his older counterpart, this young boy holds what looks like an old-fashioned, possibly wooden tool or implement in both hands above his head level. In the background, there's another individual whose role and actions are not entirely discernible due to partial visibility on either side of them within the frame. The overall atmosphere suggests a rural environment with remnants of foliage indicative of autumnal season.

Two families were represented here, topping beets on farm near Ft. Collins, Colo. Out of 12 workers, 7 were children, aged 7- 8- 9- 11- 12- 13- 14- years. This is an exceptional group. Although there are thousands of children under 14 yrs. in this state working beets, yet the actual percentage of the total number of beet workers is small -- many farms work no children and many have only one or two. If children under 14 yrs. were eliminated from this work during school session, their places would be filled easily by older ones, and the economic loss felt very little in most cases. See Hine Report for actual counts of adults and children in the various beet districts of Colo. Location: Ft. Collins vicinity, Colorado

This is a black and white photograph depicting people working in a farm field. There are multiple individuals engaged in various tasks, including plowing the soil and handling produce. The workers appear to be wearing traditional farming attire from the early 20th century. A notable detail is that there are several children among the workers, which suggests that this photo captures a moment where labor was shared across family members regardless of age. The text accompanying the image mentions that out of twelve workers, seven were children aged between 7 and 14 years old. The location mentioned is Fort Collins, Colorado, and it is suggested that if children under the age of 14 were not allowed to work during school hours, their places would be easily filled by older individuals, and the economic loss would be minimal. The image serves as a historical record of agricultural labor practices from the past, providing insight into the roles and ages of workers in that era. It also highlights the social and economic context of the time, particularly regarding child labor.
