Alexander S. Vindman @AVindman
The ReTrumplicans passed a budget that adds an estimated 10 Trillion to National debt. Setting aside the hypocrisy over claims of fiscal conservatism and the threat to national security, as debt service payments in the future will make it very difficult to cover debt, pay for national defense, and meet services obligations like providing Social Security and Medicaid, this is a billionaire’s budget. It steals from the poor, working class, and middle class Americans to give to the ultra wealthy.
Trump has schizophrenic communist, fascist, and robber baron tendencies. He demands industry/ business price controls, stifles free speech, attempts to silence opposition, and uses the law to pursue political opponents. And he’s taxing most Americans with his idiotic tariff scheme, while stealing their hard-earned benefits to enrich himself and his billionaire friends. And the
@GOP completely embraces these activities.

Yes, the GOP budget guts Medicaid, SNAP and gives more tax breaks to the mega-rich — but it also:
– Lets Big Oil buy public land to drill
– 10 year ban on state AI regulations
– Tax break on gun silencers
– Restricts funding to nonprofits
– Defunds women’s health organizations

In America, we call this “healthcare.”

EDUCATION

TRUMP WILL DISMANTLE THE DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION

TRUMP’S MURIKKKA: Trump regime no longer requires ban on segregated facilities in government contracts. It’s only a matter of time before businesses start displaying the “No Blacks, No Jews” signs again.

The least educated states in the USA are all red states who consistently vote republican. Trump’s education cuts will devastate red states, slashing funding, killing jobs, and leaving kids illiterate. He’s sabotaging the very regions that back him, brilliant strategy, or just reckless ignorance?

When the Department of Education goes away and these states lose federal funding, teachers lose jobs, the children will be illiterate.
Trump fucked all the red states over by doing this.

Meet the Educational Entrepreneurs Who Want to Teach a New Generation of Elon Musks
The billionaire’s admirers and ex-employees have launched online schools and an “unapologetically elitist” AI tutor.By the end of the month, the department had been stripped to the bone, dismantled by Donald Trump and Musk’s DOGE.

PRIVATEERS MILK THE TAX PAYER FOR THE FOR PROFIT “SCHOOL”

And on Thursday, Education Secretary Linda McMahon, who has said her agency’s “final mission” would be to send education programs “back to the states,” was on hand as the president signed an executive order to begin eliminating what remained of the department.
The companies’ founders share an admiration for Musk and desire to help their students replicate his success. At the same time that federal support for public education is imperiled, two private online education programs whose seeds were planted with Musk and SpaceX are getting a second wind. Both could see even more growth under the country’s emerging educational environment. So too could a physical, Musk-linked school that’s been newly opened near the Texas compound housing several of his companies.
Astra Nova School and Synthesis Tutor are two non-traditional, online educational programs that are intertwined, share a common origin, and both began with their creators’ admiration for Elon Musk. Synthesis Tutor was co-founded by Joshua Dahn and Chrisman Frank. Dahn is also the founder and executive director of Astra Nova, and helped found its precursor school, which operated at SpaceX teaching Musk’s and some of his employees’ children.

Musk’s ties with China could make his briefing a liability.
China is also home to a Tesla production facility responsible for more than half of the company’s cars produced in 2024. Musk and Tesla are still on the hook for a $1.4 billion loan from the country’s government to build that factory. At least one ex-defense official, former Lt. General Russel Honoré, sounded alarm bells late last year on Musk’s potential access to top-secret intelligence around China.
“Musk’s business dealings in China could require him to hand over sensitive classified information, learned either through his business interests or his proximity to [then] President-elect Donald Trump,” Honoré wrote.

Trump Signs Executive Order Directing Agency Heads To Grant Federal Official Access To Agency Records, Data, And Systems.

Donald Trump has ordered federal agencies to share data across the government, part of his crusade to eliminate the waste and fraud that he says can be uncovered in many programs and departments.

The associate, Rachel Cohen, recently organized an open letter that called on Big Law to respond to Trump’s executive orders designed to sanction three prominent firms. The letter was signed by more than 300 Big Law associates.

AT&T technician Mark Klein, who exposed secret NSA spying, dies
Mark Klein, a former AT&T technician turned whistleblower who exposed mass surveillance by the U.S. government, has died at age 79. Klein went public in 2006 with documents revealing that the NSA was using a secret room in an AT&T hub in San Francisco to tap into the backbone of the internet.
Behind the door of the now-infamous Room 641A, optical splitting wiretaps were creating an identical copy of raw internet traffic and funneling it back to the NSA. Klein’s disclosure was confirmation that the U.S. government was accessing the internet data on millions of Americans using powers granted by Congress in the aftermath of the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks.

Apart from the Christofascist sadism of forcing people to remain in marriages they no longer want, the GOP’s intent on keeping as many White people married as they possibly can because married White women and men are much more likely to vote GOP.
In 2022, according to exit polls, unmarried women voted for Democratic House candidates at a slightly more than two-to-one ratio (68–31 percent). Every other quadrant of voters — married men, unmarried men, and married women — gave majorities to Republican candidates. Call it what it is…eugenics, meant to create a desired population with all the characteristics desired by Republicans — a white, straight, Christian, wealthy, R-voting tribe.

Bo Hines, President Trump’s Executive Director for Digital Assets, recently emphasized the administration’s intent to acquire substantial amounts of #Bitcoin likening it to digital gold. He highlighted that numerous strategies are under consideration to expand the U.S. government’s Bitcoin holdings, with the most effective ones set to be implemented.
This initiative aligns with President Trump’s executive order establishing a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve, aiming to solidify the United States’ position as a leader in the cryptocurrency sector.
The administration is exploring “budget-neutral” methods to enhance the reserve, ensuring taxpayer funds are not utilized for these acquisitions. This approach signifies a strategic shift toward integrating digital assets into national financial strategies, reflecting the evolving landscape of global finance.

LAW

Bernie Sanders: “Musk is so arrogant that he is even intervening in a Supreme Court election right here in Wisconsin… if this guy can intervene in a Supreme Court election in one state, you tell me what mayor’s race, what governor’s race, what Senate race he cannot buy.”

When Trump was sworn in, Elon Musk’s corporations were under more than 32 investigations conducted by at least 11 federal agencies.
Most of the cases are now closed or likely to be closed soon, and the federal agencies are being defanged by DOGE.

On the orders of the richest man in the world, who bought the presidency through bribery & psychological warfare, a rogue gang of cybercriminals, neo-Nazis & Palantir employees broke into the federal government and exfiltrated the personal data of everyone in the United States. Delusional billionaire superiority complex isn’t strength. It’s how empires collapse—thinking you’re untouchable while alienating the very people keeping you from sinking.

How the fuck does America NOT have a fucking constitutional amendment stating a convicted felon can’t run for president!!!?
The man was convicted on 34 felony counts, accused of raping multiple women, and who pardoned the violent insurrectionists who beat cops on Jan 6th.

Alina Habba’s claim that a federal judge can’t question Trump‘s executive order is absurd. Judicial review is a cornerstone of our democracy. Trump just hates checks on his power. Her legal ignorance is stunning.

A lesson on presidential powers
THE-CONSTITUTION GIVES THE PRESIDENT ZERO POWER WRITE LAW.
AND ZERO POWER TO IGNORE THE LAW.
AND ZERO POWER TO BREAK THE LAW.

Trump wants to impeach a judge for not siding with him. This is NOT how democracy works. This shows you exactly why the courts are a necessary check on Trump’s unhinged authoritarianism.

In 1976, Chief Justice John Roberts made it legal to buy US political elections with unlimited amounts of dark money through is verdict in Citizens United. The Roberts Court just made it free game for corporations and unions. In 76 wealthy donors were given the right to make campaign donations as large as they wanted.
Roberts prepared the road for Trump’s & Musk’s corruption of the US.
John Roberts has paved the path to destroy the foundations of the United States, opening the door to kleptocracy, oligarchs and putting a lawless felon insurrectionist above the law.
And the he gave Donald a get out of jail card for when Musk and GOP committed election fraud To gain power again.

Yeah, that’s because Melania met Trump as an Epstein hooker while she was illegally in the country.

Hey @elonmusk – did you know that the @federalreserve gives money to failing bankers and hedge funds with very few controls, and there’s no auditing?
ELON MUSK: “One of the biggest scams we’ve uncovered is that the government can give money to so called non profit with very few controls and there’s no auditing of that non profit.”

Hailey Lennon @HaileyLennonBTC
Friendly reminder, the money in your bank account is not your money.
Last week my personal savings account was levied for $ 8,000 because California’s Employment Development Department (EDD) incorrectly assumed my family’s hotel in Maui was still operational after it was destroyed in the Lahaina fires August 2023. They told me today they thought we were still paying payroll to California employees and just not paying our taxes.
That craziest part? I was never even an owner or employee of that business. That fact that the government can just take funds out of my bank account because they WRONGLY assumed that a company other family members of mine owned/operated was still operational after the fires is crazy. Luckily, I had good documentation that our hotel burned down and is no longer operational and that the levy was against my personal bank account. After phone calls and emails, I will be getting that money back to my bank account. But ya, your money in the bank isn’t your money.

@ReesePolitics
Not a single mainstream media outlet has reported that Citadel is being questioned over Failure to Delivers (FTDs) and n-ked short selling on $MMTLP
Why? Because it could set a dangerous legal precedent (if guilty) that would cause a massive disruption to short hedge funds way of ‘doing business’.This is the reason the Legacy media says nothing. Probably the first time Jimmy was honest to the bone.

TRUMP DIGITAL ASSET DIRECTOR EXPLAINS WHY US RESERVE IS #BITCOIN ONLY
“THERE IS NO ISSUER. BTC IS AN INTRINSIC STORE OF VALUE.”

BANKS have a GREENLIGHT to USE Crypto!
Office of the Comptroller of the Currency
News Release 2025-16
March 7, 2025
OCC Clarifies Bank Authority to Engage in Certain Cryptocurrency
Activities
https://www.occ.treas.gov/news-issuances/news-releases/2025/nr-occ-2025-16.html
The OCC just published a new Interpretative Letter, setting a new course for federal banks engaging in crypto activities.
– Clears federal banks to custody crypto assets, hold stablecoin reserves, and serve as blockchain verification nodes, without prior OCC nonobjection.
– Simplifies oversight by cutting unnecessary regulatory hurdles, retiring outdated approval requirements.
– Equips banks to innovate, with solid risk management still in place.
An important step for the financial system’s next chapter.

Why does BTC save one’s purchasing power? Because it moves out of our credit/inflation based framework to a deflation framework.

In the USA , Stealth inflation is upwards of 20%.
It is 2%, if :
– you don’t need a house
– You don’t need medical care
– You don’t need an university degree
And on and on.
Bitcoin is the only way to stop being robbed by inflation produced by the money counterfeiters of the world.

@maxkeiser If USA buys 1 – 5 million Bitcoin they remove Russia’s ability to de-dollarize the world (and keep inflation as high as they want it – being the world’s no 1 commodity producer).
But the US will have to act fast. Once Russia figures this out they will use their ultra-cheap energy and pristine balance sheet to outmaneuver the US and buy 1 -5 million BTC first.
Since Russia took over pricing of global commodities (energy, agro, metals, etc) in February of 2022, US Dollar based inflation will NEVER see 2% again.
7% – 15% is the new normal.
Only Bitcoin can save your purchasing power.

In 2022, 86% of Americans said the economy was getting worse, not better. Today, 86% still won’t invest in Bitcoin.
Meanwhile, Bitcoin is up 5.4x since then.
The anti bitcoin political army, banks and journalists in the media did an excellent job of brainwashing the public against bitcoin scaring them into thinking it was a ridiculous scam. They focused on that and they won.

MAX KEISER: “BITCOIN FOMO HAS REACHED NATION STATE LEVEL.”

Congressman Nicholas “Nick” Begich (R-AK) is a long-term bitcoin holder who believes in Americans’ right to self custody their bitcoin and understands the importance of bitcoin as a strategic reserve asset for the United States.

SOCIAL SECURITY

“Entitlements?”
If Bernie’s Social Security bill was enacted in 2021, Musk would
have paid $2.9 billion more in taxes, Social Security would’ve
been solvent for 75 years, benefits would’ve increased by $2,400 &
93% of Americans would have paid Zero more in taxes. The only one “entitled” is Musk.

Larry Kudlow of Fox Business spread disinformation when he claimed that 150-year-old Americans are getting Social Security payments. Steve Doocy debunked this nearly a month ago on Fox & Friends. Social Security automatically cuts off payments to anyone over 115 years old.

Elon Musk’s team at “DOGE” REALLY wants the American people’s tax data — and is playing hardball inside the federal government to get it 
https://substack.com/@trumpversusus/p-159211019
The IRS has removed its acting chief lawyer, who himself was put there by the Trump administration. The lawyer’s replacement is reportedly friendlier to a “DOGE”-led “alleged push to share tax information with multiple agencies — or perhaps, given the lack of oversight over “DOGE”, to share it with Musk and his companies.
They want to make people disappear, to feed them into labor camps with no due process. Every horror story you have ever heard about despots will seem like a fairytale if we don’t stop Trump. He is as evil as any man alive.

Social Security Administration to cut its phone support, per Axios.
Robert Reich @RBReich
Trump and DOGE are dismantling Social Security— firing thousands of SSA employees and shuttering offices.
Why? Because they don’t want one of the govt’s most successful programs to work.
They want to pave the way for privatization so Wall Street can gamble with our retirement.

Social Security has a billionaire problem. We can fix that problem by making them contribute to the program on all of their income all year-long–Just like the rest of us!

Jeffries: The avg. social security recipient receives about $65 a day in benefits; Elon Musk and his contracts get about $8M a day. If they were really interested in waste fraud abuse, they’d start there, but they’re not, so they’re going after Grandma and Grandpa.”

Social Security Works President Nancy Altman: I’ve now worked on this program for 50 of those 90 years and I’ll tell you the biggest threat Social Security has ever faced is Donald Trump and Elon Musk, and we have to make sure that they do not win.

Leaked Memo: The Oval Office Criminal and the White House Nazi are planning to cut SS phone support. #Resist

Meredith Whittaker @mer__edith
MS–Open AI’s ~parent company–already has massive US military contracts. This is the biz model.
It’s also one more alarm re. the current AI paradigm, its reliance on concentrated corp power, & the undemocratic decision making power this gives these (primarily) US-based corps.

Here’s the section of the OpenAI policy on banned usage that was deleted two days ago. In its place is a much more ambiguous general ban on causing “harm” and a very narrow mention of weapons development

The new version, overhauled on Jan 10th, is here:

OpenAI quietly deleted its ban on “military and warfare” applications from its permissible uses policy in a revision this week
https://theintercept.com/2024/01/12/open-ai-military-ban-chatgpt/

Here’s the section of the OpenAI policy on banned usage that was deleted two days ago. In its place is a much more ambiguous general ban on causing “harm” and a very narrow mention of weapons development

• Activity that has high risk of physical harm, including:

Weapons development
Military and warfare
Management or operation of critical infrastructure in energy, transportation, and water
Content that promotes, encourages, or depicts acts of self-harm, such as suicide, cutting, and eating disorders

You can read the previous version of the policy here:
https://web.archive.org/web/20240109122522/https:/openai.com/policies/usage-policies

“You can now take a GenAI model and train it to automatically recommend fixes for insecure code, generate training materials for your security teams, and identify mitigation measures in the event of an identified threat, moving beyond just finding vulnerabilities.”

One of the world’s largest AI training datasets is about to get bigger and ‘substantially better’
The Pile was created by all of us. It’s the work of all humans past and present. It therefore belongs to all of us, and when used to train AI, we all deserve a cut of the profits. Universal basic income should be seen as our rightful AI training dividend.
https://venturebeat.com/ai/one-of-the-worlds-largest-ai-training-datasets-is-about-to-get-bigger-and-substantially-better/
Massive AI training datasets, or corpora, have been called “the backbone of large language models.” But EleutherAI, the organization that created one of the world’s largest of these datasets, an 825 GB open-sourced diverse text corpora called the Pile, became a target in 2023 amid a growing uproar focused on the legal and ethical impact of the datasets that trained the most popular LLMs, from OpenAI’s GPT-4 to Meta’s Llama.
EleutherAI, a grassroots nonprofit research group that began as a loose-knit Discord collective in 2020 that sought to understand how OpenAI’s new GPT-3 worked, was named in one of the many generative AI-focused lawsuits last year.

Joe Biden is currently leading against Donald Trump in key states like Pennsylvania, Michigan, and New Hampshire, not only surpassing Trump but also outdoing his own 2020 victory margins in these areas.
Despite this significant development, it hasn’t been widely reported.
This makes it clear that the media may be selectively focusing on narratives that favor Trump, overshadowing news that could be detrimental to his image.
It’s crucial to stay vigilant and not be swayed by this apparent media strategy.

@richsignorelli Our democracy is under attack from Trump/MAGA. Many are culpable, 4 stand out:
-McConnell deciding v Trump impeachment for 1/6 thinking he would go away.
-CJ Roberts allowing gerrymandering/dark $.
-Garland delaying prosecution of Trump et al.
-Murdoch spreading lies to the gullible.
Garland has now supplanted Newt Gingrich in that foursome because although Newt’s evil impact on the #GOP cannot be denied, our AG was in a position to excise that cancer & instead chose to do nothing. As a result, Newt’s disciples are now openly & fearlessly seditious.

A New Lawsuit Shows How Recklessly Facebook Endangers Kids
BYROB LARSON
Facebook parent company Meta is facing a massive lawsuit alleging the company is knowingly hurting young people, including by accepting underage use. Court documents suggest this is true — and that executives have been egregiously callous about harms to kids.
Metacurse
Another interesting feature of the states’ complaint concerns the decision-making related to these problems, especially the abuse of notifications to keep users leashed to their devices and the platforms. The company’s own chief marketing officer supported a proposal to cut back on the platform’s heavy use of notifications, writing in an email thread, “Fundamentally I believe that we have abused the notifications channel as a company.” The chief of product agreed — only to be overruled by Zuckerberg himself.
“…a 2020 internal Meta presentation…saying Meta should take advantage of…psychological weaknesses of young users…(it) argued that rather than designing its platforms to avoid harming minors, it should take advantage of their vulnerabilities.”
