Court order blocking Elon Musk

NY AG James @NewYorkStateAG
This morning, we won a court order blocking Elon Musk, the world’s richest man, from accessing Americans’ private data.

Musk and his DOGE employees must destroy all records they’ve obtained.
I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again: no one is above the law.
I am leading 18 attorneys general in suing to stop this attack.
President Trump doesn’t have the power to give your private information to anyone he wants. And his unelected billionaire friend can’t cut federal spending with the click of a button.

Attorney General Keith Ellison @AGEllison
Today, I filed a lawsuit seeking to end Elon Musk’s access to the Treasury Department’s central payment system.
I will not allow Trump & Musk to use government efficiency as a smokescreen to slash funding to anything and everything that doesn’t align with their political agenda.

U.S. District Judge Paul A. Engelmayer issued the preliminary injunction after 19 Democratic attorneys general sued President Donald Trump. The case, filed in federal court in New York City, alleges the Trump administration allowed Musk’s team access to the Treasury Department’s central payment system in violation of federal law.

The Elite Lawyers Working for Elon Musk’s DOGE Include Former Supreme Court Clerks
Much attention has been paid to the young Silicon Valley engineers working for Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency, but the group has also hired high-powered legal talent.

The US Oligarch and Nazi Elon Musk has been defeated by a German court.
Germany has ruled that Musk must immediately provide researchers with access to X’s data on politically related content ahead of the country’s election.

What Happened the Last Time a President Purged the Bureaucracy
On Jan. 22, 1953, his first day as secretary of state, John Foster Dulles addressed a group of diplomats at his department’s still-new headquarters in Washington’s Foggy Bottom neighborhood. For years, the State Department had come under fire from Republicans and conservative activists as a haven for Communist spies and sympathizers — and not without reason, since one of its rising stars, Alger Hiss, had been convicted of perjury in January 1950 for lying about giving secret government documents to a Soviet spy.

Under Trump, US Cyberdefense Loses Its Head
https://www.wired.com/story/big-interview-jen-easterly-cisa-cybersecurity/

DECIMATION OF SCIENCE—Trump WH has announced it will slash NIH indirect grant support across the board to 15%… from previously 50-70% for big universities. This is what normally keeps the lights on & subsidizes tuition at major scientific institutions.

Trump’s bizarre response at a press conference today when asked why DOGE needs access to social security numbers and other personal information of Americans.
When asked, he replied —
“They get it very easily. We don’t have very good security in our country.”

tesla earned $2.3 billion in the United States in 2024.

The company reported $0 in federal income tax on $2 billion in U.S. income.
Tesla has avoided almost all federal income tax for the past three years.

Kash Patel took $25,000 from a production company with ties to Russia propaganda activity to appear in an anti-FBI docuseries. He did not respond to questions about this. Kash Patel is a money launderer for foreign governments to spread propaganda and perform active measures in America. Why does he have his own “foundation” and his own cryptocurrency? To hide his Russian and Chinese money.

The chemical industry has sent a letter to Trump EPA chief Lee Zeldin asking him to shut down the government website that lets Americans know about high-risk chemical plants in their communities & the safety records of the companies running them.

COMPUTER GLITCH MY ASS

@anthony7andrews Feb 7
Did you know that on July 2nd, 2008, the day Jeffrey Epstein went to jail the first time, he won the Oklahoma state lottery worth $29.2 million. There happened to be a “computer glitch” on the live drawing & it was redrawn and he magically won. There is so much people don’t know.

A financial planning company based in Oklahoma
City received $29.2 million on Monday on behalf of
the Zorro Trust, which held the winning ticket
from the July 2 drawing.
The Daily Oklahoman, 26 Aug 2008:
Trust keeps Powerball winner a mystery. Only Lottery
Commission knows who is now $29.3 million richer. A financial planning company based in Oklahoma City received $29.3 million Monday on behalf of the Zorro Trust, which held the winning ticket from the July 2 drawing.

There was also a computer malfunction that pre-empted the televised broadcast of the Sunday draw, and instead the drawing was held later and
monitored by an auditing firm.
The Daily article discloses: Trusts shield the winner or winners from public scrutiny.

“Prisons are filled with criminals who used fiat currency for illegal and unregulated purposes without doing AML/KYC and without regard for law, decency or bank regulations. The argument that bitcoin is bad because criminals use it isn’t a serious one.”
