Thousands of companies are jockeying for billions of dollars in Defense Department contracts
to build a shield designed to intercept and destroy missiles launched against the United States.

⚠️But amid the intense competition, a handful of firms have an important inside connection.

At least four of the companies awarded contracts so far are owned by
⚡️Cerberus Capital Management,
a private equity firm founded by billionaire Steve #Feinberg,
who until last year ran the company
and is now the deputy secretary of defense
— the second-highest-ranking official in the Pentagon.

Feinberg oversees the office in charge of the 🔸"Golden Dome for America" project,
which is modeled on Israel’s Iron Dome missile defense system.

Feinberg filed paperwork saying he divested from Cerberus and its related businesses.

⛔️But his government ethics records contain an unusual clause:
He is allowed to continue contracting with the company for tax compliance and accounting services
as well as health care coverage,
a financial relationship that documents show could continue indefinitely.

Feinberg’s financial statements and ethics agreement are part of a trove of nearly 3,200 disclosure records that ProPublica is making public today.

⭐️The disclosures, which can be viewed in a searchable online tool, detail the finances of more than 1,500 federal officials appointed by Donald Trump.

Records for Trump and Vice President JD Vance are also included.

Rep. Becca Balint asked AG Pam Bondi
"Has the DoJ talked to Deputy Secretary Feinberg about his ties to Jeffrey Epstein, which are clearly spelled out in the files?"

She didn't answer (Unless you count her reply "The Dow is at 50,000!")
There's evidence of their #Epstein ties, but there are so many people covering for them. WHAT will it take to subpoena them?
#Feinberg is a private equity scumbag, who destroyed hospitals I'm Mass, so he should go DOWN.

"The real boom in #kosher #canned #meats took place when kosher #cannedmeat became a crucial component of #Jewish organizations’ relief packages for #Europe’s Jewish war victims... in DP camps in #Germany.

In May 1946, the #Chicago Kosher #Sausage Manufacturing Company — a #Winnipeg-based company — registered a word mark with the #Canadian patent office for a canned #meat product called #Breef.

#NeilFeinberg, 74, the last owner of the #Feinberg #Sausage Co. in #Minneapolis, says he’s well familiar with Breef.

“That was the best quality product of the bunch” among kosher canned meats, he says.

“Canned #cornedbeef is like #Spam — very similar texture,” explained Feinberg, 74, who is retired and living in Palm Springs, Fla. “Only it was made of #beef and had a corned beef flavor to it,” an effect achieved by using the same seasoning from the company’s regular corned beef.

Trump’s pick for deputy Defense secretary declined to say Russia invaded Ukraine when pressed Tuesday by senators
and defended massive Pentagon firings
— a sign he’s unlikely to challenge the dramatic changes underway at the department.

#Stephen #Feinberg, a Trump donor and billionaire investor, told lawmakers during his confirmation hearing that he didn’t want to “speak out of turn” and undermine the president’s negotiations.
