Keir Starmer @Keir_Starmer - Every child deserves the best start in life. Which is why we're rolling out free breakfast clubs to schools across the country.
Now we’re going even further.
We’ve joined forces with some of Britain’s most loved food brands - @Morrisons, @Sainsburys, @Weetabix and @Magic_Breakfast - to make our offer bigger and better.

Kelly Loeffler @SBA_Kelly - As of today, the SBA has officially suspended ATI Government Solutions, which is majority-owned by Susanville Indian Rancheria, as well as three of its executives, from conducting any new business with the federal government.
While we continue our investigation, ATI and its referenced executives will not be permitted to bid for federal contracts, subcontracts, or set-asides, and will not be able to receive any federal assistance.
We have been in contact with the Department of Justice and will continue to provide updates as they become available.
As a reminder, whistleblowers with any information about these companies - or any suspected contracting abuse - may submit a tip at: https://sbax.sba.gov/oigcss/

SBA has launched an investigation into ATI Government Solutions and Susanville Indian Rancheria.
This is why we have been conducting a full review of the 8(a) Program, ostensibly designed to help “socially and economically disadvantaged” small businesses compete in the federal marketplace. Yet, what we’ve discovered so far has been institutionalized abuse, which potentially amounts to billions of dollars in federal contracts that are run through shell companies, fraudulent pass-throughs, and other schemes.
That’s why in February, the SBA took immediate action to slash 8(a) contracting goals across the federal government. In June, we launched an audit of the program to review every 8(a) contract for the last 15 years. And in July, we rescinded the contracting authority of USAID, which was involved in a massive bribery scandal.
@JamesOKeefeIII has exposed an important truth. Like every other government program rooted in DEI, the 8(a) Program is rife with grift and fraud.
Under my leadership, the SBA is committed to restoring integrity and implementing strong reforms to protect U.S. taxpayers from further abuse. The full audit is ongoing and whistleblowers may contact https://sbax.sba.gov/oigcss/

Kevin Dahlgren @kevinvdahlgren - Video: A fascinating debate between two homeless people. One is convinced The Homeless Industrial Complex enables them because there’s money in it while the other feels like social services are just trying to help by feeding them. Who is more convincing?
