🔥 In Corruption News
Musk Put Him in the Treasury Department. His Company Has Federal Contracts Worth Millions
What Happened: Tom Krause, CEO of Cloud Software Group, has been appointed the Treasury Department’s fiscal assistant secretary while retaining his private-sector role. Cloud Software holds federal contracts worth up to $11.8 million, including deals with the Treasury.
Why It Matters: This unprecedented dual role raises significant conflict-of-interest concerns, as Krause could influence federal contracting decisions that benefit his company, undermining ethical safeguards in government procurement.

U.S. could cut Ukraine’s access to Starlink internet services over minerals
What Happened: U.S. negotiators are pressing Ukraine to agree to a deal on its critical minerals—demanding 50% control in exchange for wartime aid. Sources say if Ukraine doesn’t comply, the U.S. could cut off its access to Elon Musk’s Starlink satellite internet, which is vital for military communications and drone operations.
Why It Matters: Trump's threat to cut off Starlink—a vital lifeline for Ukraine's military—directly cripples its defense and serves as a blatant extortion tactic that reiterates his loyalty to Putin. This move not only undermines Ukraine's sovereignty but places the U.S. on Russia's side in assisting in its genocidal war.

DOGE’s Millions: As Musk and Trump Gut Government, Their Ax-Cutting Agency Gets Cash Infusion
What Happened: Elon Musk's unauthorized FAKE DOGE received nearly $40 million through the Economy Act to drive massive federal purges. Despite touting "maximal transparency," its staffing and spending remain hidden as it slashes government programs.
Why It Matters: This massive, opaque cash infusion enables Trump’s purge of federal agencies, cutting vital services for partisan gains. By sidestepping standard transparency laws, DOGE’s actions mirror authoritarian regimes where political loyalty overrides accountability and public interest.

Under Trump, consumer watchdog drops case against online lender
What Happened: The CFPB, under Trump’s control, has withdrawn its lawsuit against online lender Solo Funds, which it accused of misleading borrowers about loan costs. This marks the first case dropped since the agency’s activities were frozen and staff were purged.
Why It Matters: This signals a broader rollback of consumer protections as Trump dismantles the CFPB, leaving borrowers vulnerable to deceptive lending practices and undermining efforts to hold financial institutions accountable.

Coinbase Says SEC Intends to Drop Lawsuit Against Crypto Exchange
What Happened: The SEC intends to dismiss its two-year lawsuit against Coinbase—a key part of its effort to regulate crypto as a stock exchange—following the Trump regime’s shift in crypto policy.
Why It Matters: Dropping the lawsuit marks a blatant regulatory retreat that not only relaxes crypto rules but is happening as Trump, his allies, and his family profit at the expense of investor safety, exposing the market to higher risks and fraud.

Trump Fires Joint Chiefs Chairman Amid Pentagon Purge
What Happened: Trump fired Gen. Charles Q. Brown Jr., the chairman of the Joint Chiefs, replacing him with retired three-star General Dan Caine as part of a Friday night purge at the Pentagon. This was accompanied by additional dismissals of senior military officials and top legal advisors, all aimed at reshaping military leadership to align with Trump’s "America First" agenda.
Why It Matters: This unprecedented firing disrupts the longstanding norm of nonpartisan military leadership and risks politicizing the armed forces. By sidelining experienced commanders for politically loyalists, the regime endangers military readiness, national security, and undermines the credibility and stability of U.S. defense institutions.

🚨 Pentagon Plans Mass Firings of Civilian Workforce
What Happened: The Pentagon announced plans to cut 5-8% of its civilian workforce—up to 76,000 jobs—with an initial 5,400 probationary employees set to be terminated next week. The decision, part of Trump's federal purge, targets non “mission-critical” roles to align with the regime’s "America First" agenda.
Why It Matters: This purge will undermine military readiness, as the Pentagon has not conducted the legally required analysis on how terminations could affect national security. The chaotic, rushed process mirrors broader efforts to hollow out federal institutions under an extremist agenda.

Trump Fires Joint Chiefs Chairman and Top Pentagon Officials in Sweeping Purge
What Happened: Trump has ousted Joint Chiefs Chairman Gen. Charles Q. Brown Jr. including key judge advocates general for the Navy, Army, and Air Force.
Why It Matters: This shake-up turns the military into a political weapon. Purging experienced officers—especially JAGs who ensure legal and constitutional compliance—undermines military judgment and oversight, endangering national security. It's a blatant move, echoing Trump's warnings that he’d use the military against Americans.

OCC Joins Wave of Federal Regulator Layoffs
What Happened: The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency announced it is firing 76 probationary employees, effective March 8, as part of the Trump regime’s broader push to reduce federal workforce numbers. This move follows similar layoffs at the FDIC and CFPB.
Why It Matters: These cuts undermine regulatory stability by stripping experienced staff from key financial watchdogs, weakening oversight of the nation's banking system during a politically charged restructuring of federal agencies.
Source: Reuters
Trump’s Executive Order Raises Alarm at the Federal Reserve
What Happened: Trump issued an executive order allowing White House oversight of independent agencies, including the Federal Reserve’s regulatory functions, though excluding monetary policy. The order mandates a White House liaison in each agency, highlighting political interference in the Fed's bank supervision and crisis management programs.
Why It Matters: This undermines the Fed’s independence, a cornerstone of its credibility in financial markets, and will politicize bank regulation, weaken the Fed’s role as an impartial economic steward, and pave the way for political pressure on future monetary decisions.

Postal Service Braces for Potential Takeover by Trump's Commerce Department
What Happened: The USPS Board of Governors held an emergency meeting after Commerce Secretary nominee Howard Lutnick's confirmation. Discussions are underway on dissolving the board and merging the Postal Service into the Commerce Department.
Why It Matters: This takeover would erode the USPS’s constitutional independence, disrupt essential mail and e-commerce services, and threaten critical communication access, especially in rural areas, reflecting a broader trend of politicizing and privatizing federal institutions.

CIA Fires Officers Over Diversity Work
What Happened: The CIA has dismissed over a dozen intelligence officers for their involvement in diversity-related assignments. Some of the fired officers are now challenging the terminations.
Why It Matters: This politically motivated purge undermines due process and federal workforce protections, reflecting how Trump’s extremist agendas are infiltrating national security agencies and threatening their operational integrity.

FBI Shuffles 1,500 Personnel Amid Trump-Patel Consolidation
What Happened: Newly confirmed FBI Director Kash Patel announced that 1,500 staffers from the Washington headquarters will be relocated to regional offices nationwide—including 500 to Huntsville, Alabama.
Why It Matters: This sweeping personnel shift is meant to create internal chaos and confusion, undermining the agency’s stability as Trump and Patel tighten their grip on the FBI. The disruption will derail essential investigations and operational effectiveness and endanger the U.S.

US science agency reclassifies hundreds of workers as probationary, US lawmaker says
What Happened: Following an OPM mandate, the National Science Foundation reclassified hundreds of employees from permanent to probationary status—effectively stripping both union and non-union workers of job security without proper notice. The agency also fired 170 employees recently, affecting nearly 10% of its workforce.
Why It Matters: This reclassification undermines due process and labor protections, leaving essential science personnel vulnerable to arbitrary termination. It jeopardizes NSF’s ability to fund and support vital research and will harm U.S. scientific progress.

⚖️ In Weaponization of Institutions News
Trump Targets Maine Over Transgender Sports Policy
What Happened: Trump launched a civil rights investigation into Maine’s transgender student sports participation policy after Governor Janet Mills refused to comply with Trump’s executive order barring transgender athletes from competing in women’s sports. The Education Department’s Office for Civil Rights is investigating specific school districts for alleged Title IX violations.
Why It Matters: This investigation shows the regime blatantly weaponizing federal agencies to push its ideological agenda, crushing states’ rights and the rule of law. It sets a dangerous precedent where political pressure overrides constitutional protections and erodes civil rights—initiated just hours after Trump sparred with the governor, who retorted, “See you in court.”

Trump Imposes Conditions on California Wildfire Aid
What Happened: Trump’s special envoy Richard Grenell announced that federal aid for California wildfires will come with conditions. He suggested tying funds to the elimination of the California Coastal Commission, calling it a “disaster” and an obstacle to development.
Why It Matters: This move weaponizes disaster relief to push a political agenda, undermining state autonomy and weakening environmental protections. It reflects the Trump regime’s corrupt tactic of using federal funds as a tool to punish blue states and dismantle regulatory bodies—echoing similar authoritarian strategies seen in Russia.
Source: Politico
Musk Ally Demands Access to Public Messaging System
What Happened: Thomas Shedd, a Musk-aligned official overseeing Technology Transformation Services, demanded admin access to Notify.gov, a government system for mass texts. A GSA worker resigned in protest, warning Shedd's access would expose personally identifiable information, including phone numbers and details about recipients' participation in programs like Medicaid.
Why It Matters: Unrestricted access to sensitive public data creates severe privacy risks, paving the way for state surveillance and abuse—all in the name of fraud detection. This politicization of government systems under DOGE is dangerous and unacceptable.

Justice Department Shuts Down Federal Law Enforcement Misconduct Tracker
What Happened: The DOJ has decommissioned its national police misconduct database, which tracked disciplinary records for nearly 150,000 federal officers. This move follows Trump’s executive order rescinding 78 Biden-era actions, effectively halting the system that allowed agencies to check an officer's history before hiring.
Why It Matters: Shutting down the database undermines transparency and public safety by preventing agencies from identifying “wandering officers” with histories of misconduct and abuses. This rollback removes critical due process protections and will allow officers with problematic records to slip between departments, posing a risk to Americans.
Source: CBS News
US declares administrative law judge removal rules unconstitutional
What Happened: The DOJ will no longer defend the removal restrictions that shield administrative law judges, labeling them "unelected and constitutionally unaccountable." This decision aligns with Trump’s push to weaken federal regulatory agencies.
Why It Matters: Removing these safeguards threatens judicial independence and opens the door to increased political interference in regulatory matters.

DOJ Accuses Judge Reyes of Misconduct in Trump Transgender Ban Case
What Happened: The U.S. Department of Justice filed a rare judicial misconduct complaint against U.S. District Judge Ana Reyes. The complaint alleges that during hearings on Trump’s transgender military ban, Reyes used inappropriate language.
Why It Matters: These allegations strike at the very core of our judicial system. Punishing Judge Reyes would erode public trust in the courts, politicize the legal process, and set a precedent for targeting judges who don't align with Trump's agenda.

📢 In Media Suppression and Authoritarian Tactics News
Staff at multiple agencies instructed not to speak to Congress
What Happened: Rep. Chellie Pingree (D-Maine) sent letters to Agriculture, Interior, and EPA heads alleging that federal employees have been ordered not to communicate with Congress. This directive follows widespread firings, including at the U.S. Forest Service, and a steep decline in agency communications since Trump took office.
Why It Matters: Blocking staff from sharing critical data with Congress shreds checks and balances, crippling oversight and allowing the executive to operate unchecked. This lack of transparency fuels long-term inefficiencies and directly harms public interests, especially in the management of natural resources and essential services.
Source: The Hill
DOGE Sparks Surveillance Fear Across the US Government
What Happened: Federal employees across agencies report heightened fears of surveillance following Trump’s workforce purges. Tools like Dynatrace and Splunk, once used for routine IT monitoring, are now seen as potential spying mechanisms under unauthorized DOGE. Anonymous threats targeting union leaders like Andrew Bernier, citing personal details possibly gleaned from work devices, further fueled paranoia.
Why It Matters: The fear of surveillance is creating a chilling effect, discouraging whistleblowing and dissent while compromising worker privacy. This reflects how authoritarian regimes use technology to suppress opposition and consolidate control and this is exactly what happens in Russia.
Source: WIRED
MAGA Takes Aim at Republican Hawks
What Happened: Top Trump loyalists, including Vance and close aides of Donald Trump Jr., are clashing with the GOP’s traditional defense hawks. They are sidelining established figures like Sen. Tom Cotton and former Gen. Keith Kellogg to reshape U.S. foreign policy along an America First agenda, prioritizing Trump’s relationships over conventional alliances.
Why It Matters: This move is authoritarian—targeting and threatening traditional lawmakers to force them to toe a narrow foreign policy line. It undermines support for Ukraine, endangers U.S. national security and global leadership, and silences dissent under the extremist MAGA agenda. These tactics mirror those employed in Russia.

🛑 In Human and Civil Rights Abuses News
Trump Plans Military Detention for Undocumented Immigrants
What Happened: Trump is expanding its detention capacity by repurposing military sites across the country. The plan includes establishing a deportation hub at Fort Bliss, Texas—initially set to detain up to 1,000 undocumented immigrants, with potential expansion to 10,000—and extending similar facilities nationwide.
Why It Matters: This drastic militarization of immigration enforcement bypasses traditional ICE facilities, straining military resources and risking poor detention conditions. It marks a significant escalation in mass deportation tactics, raising serious human rights and legal concerns.
Source: The New York Times
Immigration Crackdown Sparks School Absences in Boston Area
What Happened: More than 1,000 students across Boston-area schools stayed home in late January, fearing deportation raids under Trump's ramped-up immigration enforcement. ICE patrol rumors spread through WhatsApp, prompting students to skip classes rather than risk returning home to find their families gone. Teachers report that many immigrant children, especially from Brazilian, Haitian, and Guatemalan families, are too scared to attend school.
Why It Matters: Trump’s policies are not just targeting undocumented adults—they’re destabilizing education for immigrant children, creating an atmosphere of fear in classrooms. Students are asking teachers about “ICE drills,” and schools are left without clear protocols to reassure them. This fear is disrupting education and exacerbating inequalities in immigrant communities.

CBC Slams Trump Suspension of USDA 1890 Scholars Program
What Happened: The USDA has indefinitely suspended the 1890 Scholarship Program—designed to fully fund students from HBCUs pursuing agricultural and natural resource degrees—pending further review. The decision comes amid broader executive orders gutting DEI.
Why It Matters: Suspending this historic program undermines efforts to rectify systemic racial discrimination in the land-grant system, depriving black students of crucial educational opportunities and jeopardizing the future of the agriculture industry.

BOP to Transfer Trans Inmates Under Trump Order
What Happened: The Bureau of Prisons is set to begin moving transgender inmates into facilities corresponding to their sex at birth—regardless of their current placement or surgical status—as early as next week.
Why It Matters: The planned transfers will compromise the safety and rights of vulnerable trans prisoners, exposing them to higher risks of assault and interruption of essential treatments. This move undermines established protections under the Prison Rape Elimination Act.
Source: NPR
Census Bureau Suspends Trans Rights Data Collection
What Happened: Following Trump’s executive order targeting gender identity, the Census Bureau halted work on collecting and releasing statistics intended to protect transgender rights. The agency removed gender identity questions from key surveys and cut public access to data, stalling research on issues affecting the trans community.
Why It Matters: Without accurate data on transgender populations, lawmakers and advocates lose a crucial tool for identifying discrimination and ensuring civil rights protections. This move undermines efforts to safeguard vulnerable communities and casts doubt on the integrity of federal data collection amid political interference.

📉 Government Services Disruption and Collapse Watch
DOGE’s USDS Purge Included the Guy Who Keeps Veterans’ Data Safe Online
What Happened: DOGE’s mass purge included Jonathan Kamens, the cybersecurity lead for VA.gov, the primary portal for veterans' benefits and sensitive data. Kamens’ firing leaves the site without a full-time security lead, jeopardizing critical protections for millions of veterans' personal and medical information.
Why It Matters: With Kamens gone, VA.gov faces increased vulnerability to cyberattacks and data breaches, putting veterans’ privacy and benefits at risk. This reckless cut reflects the broader dangers of politicized purges.

Recording Reveals New Details on Controversial DOGE Employee
What Happened: A recording from 2022 captures a heated dispute at Path Network over whether 17-year-old Edward Coristine should remain on the job despite suspicions he leaked proprietary data. The CEO defended retaining him under strict conditions to prevent exposure to sensitive information. Now 19 and known as “Big Balls,” Coristine is a “senior advisor” at Elon Musk’s unauthorized DOGE, with access to high-level government systems and all of our private data.
Why It Matters: This Musk operative appointment is a national security nightmare. His lack of experience and vetting while he has unfettered access to our most sensitive data—is an outrageous danger posed by the Trump regime.

Trump Pushes Out Top China Export Policy Official, Sources Say
What Happened: Trump has forced out Matthew Borman, the principal deputy assistant secretary for export administration at the Department of Commerce, who played a key role in enforcing export restrictions on China.
Why It Matters: Borman’s removal erodes critical expertise in managing U.S. export controls, particularly those designed to limit China’s access to advanced semiconductor technology and will compromise national security and economic strategy.

Outcry as Trump Withdraws Support for Climate-Related Research
What Happened: Trump is cutting funding for scientific research that mentions "climate," stripping grants from projects in the U.S. and abroad. This includes altering government websites, course materials, and rescinding previously awarded grants, forcing researchers to remove or retitle studies to avoid the banned term.
Why It Matters: This stifles critical climate research and undermines efforts to address public health and environmental crises— echoing the tactics of authoritarian regimes that suppress inconvenient data.

Trump says he's had 'good talks' with Putin but not Ukraine as he escalates criticism of Zelenskyy
What Happened: Trump stated he’s had “good talks” with Putin but not with Ukraine, accusing Ukrainian President Zelenskyy of lacking negotiating leverage. He argued that Ukraine “doesn't have any cards” and again implied that the war wouldn’t have occurred if he were president.
Why It Matters: This rhetoric isn’t just divisive—it highlights that Trump is acting as a puppet for Putin. By shifting support from Ukraine to Russia, he destabilizes the Western consensus and undermines international efforts to counter aggression.

The Christian Nationalist Driving Trump’s Purges
What Happened: Russell Vought, Trump’s newly confirmed head of the Office of Management and Budget and Project 2025 architect, is quietly orchestrating mass federal layoffs under the guise of government efficiency. A devout Christian nationalist, Vought views his role as not just shrinking the state but reshaping it according to his ideological vision.
Why It Matters: Vought’s influence extends beyond budget cuts—he’s using his position to inject Christian nationalist ideals into federal governance while dismantling the administrative state. His rhetoric about "traumatizing" civil servants reflects the authoritarian mindset driving Trump's agenda.

Third-Term Push for Trump Gains Ground at CPAC
What Happened: Shane Trejo, a GOP activist who co-hosted the far-right podcast Blood Soil and Liberty, is leading the “Third Term Project” at CPAC, portraying Trump as a modern-day Caesar. The effort aligns with Rep. Andy Ogles' bill proposing a constitutional amendment to allow Trump a third term.
Why It Matters: This authoritarian push threatens constitutional limits on presidential power, echoing tactics used in Russia to consolidate control.
Source: Mother Jones
Far-Right French Leader Cancels Speech After Bannon Nazi Salute
What Happened: French far-right leader Jordan Bardella canceled his speech at CPAC after Steve Bannon, former Trump advisor, made a gesture described as a Nazi salute on stage. Bardella, head of France’s National Rally, said the gesture contradicted the values he intended to promote and immediately withdrew from the event.
Why It Matters: This incident underscores how Trump’s far-right movement is pushing boundaries even European far-right extremist leaders find unacceptable.
Source: France 24
Far-Right Influencer Posobiec Gains Access to Trump Cabinet Travel
What Happened: Jack Posobiec, a far-right activist with a history of promoting antisemitic and white supremacist content, has been invited to join trips with Trump Cabinet members, including a European trip organized by Defense Secretary Hegseth. He claims to have attended as part of a press delegation, though his participation underscores troubling ties between extremist figures and top government officials.
Why It Matters: Posobiec's inclusion signals a dangerous normalization of extremist views within official settings and lends credibility to hate-fueled narratives. This mirrors tactics seen in authoritarian regimes, where political elites use such associations to legitimize their agenda and erode public trust.

Trump’s Kennedy Center to Host “Celebration of Christ”
What Happened: Ric Grenell, Trump’s newly appointed Kennedy Center president, announced plans for a “huge celebration of the birth of Christ” as the centerpiece of the institution’s December programming. This follows Trump’s takeover of the Kennedy Center, purging the board and replacing its leadership with loyalists like Grenell.
Why It Matters: This politicizes a historically nonpartisan cultural institution, pushing religious programming while sidelining events like the Gay Men’s Chorus and other inclusive performances. It underscores how Trump is reshaping public institutions to align with his ideological agenda.

J6 Prison Choir Not Confirmed for Kennedy Center, Despite Bannon’s Claims
What Happened: Steve Bannon told the CPAC crowd that the J6 Prison Choir—composed of men jailed for the January 6 Capitol riot—would perform at the Kennedy Center under Trump appointee Ric Grenell. The Kennedy Center, however, denied any confirmed booking for the event.
Why It Matters: Bannon’s announcement highlights the Trump regime’s effort to transform cultural institutions like the Kennedy Center into platforms for extremist narratives. It’s another example of Trump elevating insurrectionists.

AP Sues Trump Over Press Ban
What Happened: The Associated Press filed a federal lawsuit against the Trump regime after its reporters were barred from presidential events, including Oval Office briefings and Air Force One travel.
