Oversight Can Mean Supervision or An Unintentional Mistake

Depending on the context, oversight can mean supervision or an unintentional mistake, either way, I think we have some problems with the people we have trusted with our government. Tonight I was scrolling. I was actually looking for Main Coon cat videos but I found something different. I really like to watch the daily videos that New Mexico Congress Representative Melanie Stansbury posts. I appreciate how she communicates most of the time. Today she was meeting with the Natural Resources Committee (NRC) and the committee had some things to share.

Representative Jared Huffman from California said they had a duty to oversee and investigate the red flags in the Trump Administration. He said that Donald Trump Jr and JD Vance and their associates are lining their pockets to $10 of millions from equity stakes in mining companies and loan guarantees that the Pentagon has issued.

Huffman went on to say that republicans wanted to have a hearing about mining and the NRC challenged them to some real oversight and made a motion to subpoena these people. Instead of debating the motion and allowing a vote, the republicans shut down the whole hearing.

Representative Maxine Dexter from Oregon said the job if the NRC is to make sure that tax payer’s dollars are used effectively and that national interests are being advanced. This committee has complete jurisdiction to make sure the critical minerals are being used effectively.

Dexter went on to say that $670 million was given to Vulcan Elements, a new start up company with 30 employees, with no experience, after an executive order waved all fiscal accountability. DT Jr is a member of the investment company that is making money off the deal. DT Jr is making 10 times return on his investment.

She continued to say that it was the position of Representative Paul Gosar that when Hunter Biden was being investigated, that a president’s child has to have extraordinary accountability. Gosar said: These changes will not slow my work to hold Joe Biden accountable for using public office for his family’s financial gain.

Dexter said that Gosar is the chair of oversight and he has now tabled a motion to perform that same oversight for Donald Trump‘s family.

I have included the video at the bottom of this article. As long the video is still on Facebook and the code has not changed you can still watch it.

So I decided to do a little research to see if I could find any holes in what they were saying.

Vulcan Elements was founded in 2023. It was valued at $200 million but is now has the potential of $2 billion according to a Bloomberg analysis.

1789 Capital, is a group of investors that DT Jr joined after his father was elected. Currently DT Jr is a partner. 1789 is a backer of Vulcan.

Vulcan has been given a $620 million Defense Department loan and $50 million CHIPS incentives which secures the Commerce Department an equity stake in Vulcan.

There are ties between between 1789 cofounder, Chris Buskirk and JD Vance through Rockbridge Network. Can we say donors?

DT Jr and Eric Trump are partial owners of Powerus. Powerus is a company that makes drones and is competing for Pentagon contract to supply attack drones.

“It’s corruption,” said Kathleen Clark, a government ethics expert at Washington University School of Law in St Luis. “Government decision makers feel pressure to use contract awards to enrich the president’s family.”

As the Trump Administration has banned importing drones from China, Powerus is hoping to win a $1.1 billion contract from the Pentagon AKA We The People.

Trump’s sons manage Cantor Fitzgerald, a financial services, investment banking, fixed income sales, trading and real estate company. Until 2025 Howard Lutnik held control over the company but he turned it over to his sons when he became Commerce Secretary under Donald Trump. Cantor Fitzgerald is an investor to USA Rare Earth, Inc. which in January 2026 was given $277 million in funding and up to $1.3 billion in loans by the Trump Administration.

I don’t want to be unfair. I am not against people being successful. But it does look like Congress is allowing specific people to make a lot of money off We The People. Rich people who don’t have to worry about how to pay all their bills already, who have access to everything they need, and get to decide how much or how little the rest of us have. Don’t get me wrong. I know I could have made different choices in my life, however, my body is sick and I can’t do anything about that and I know people that can do less than I can. There are people that have died, and will die, because of the choices of the Trump Administration. Some of the companies I have written about will make money because of other people’s deaths. I don’t want my tax dollars spent this way.

If you want to watch the video, hopefully it hasn’t been taken down and it is still here 🙂
