🔥 In Corruption News
Trump Selling Access: Business Leaders Pay Millions for Mar-a-Lago Dinners
What Happened: Business executives are paying up to $5 million for private meetings with Trump and $1 million per seat at exclusive Mar-a-Lago dinners. These high-priced events, linked to the pro-Trump super PAC MAGA Inc., draw corporate elites—including tech leaders—seeking influence in his regime.
Why It Matters: This unprecedented pay-to-play scheme raises is blatant corruption, blurring the line between Trump’s presidency and his private business. Corporate interests are buying direct access to policy decisions, with little transparency on where the money is going.

Musk’s Operatives Rake in Six-Figure Salaries While Slashing Government Jobs
What Happened: Elon Musk’s operatives are drawing large taxpayer-funded salaries while gutting agencies and purges across federal agencies. Some employees earn up to $195,200 annually. Despite Musk’s earlier claims that his unvetted operatives’ work was unpaid, funding has surged to $40 million while transparency remains nonexistent.
Why It Matters: Trump and Musk are justifying mass government layoffs under the guise of “efficiency” while paying their unvetted operatives top-dollar salaries. This double standard highlights cronyism, conflicts of interest, and Musk’s unchecked power over the federal government.

Ethical Concerns Surround Sen. Joni Ernst’s Relationships With Top Military Officials Who Lobbied Her Committee
What Happened: Sen. Joni Ernst (R-IA), a key member of the Senate Armed Services Committee, had romantic relationships with two military officials responsible for lobbying Congress. One was Maj. Gen. Christopher Finerty, an Air Force legislative liaison under investigation for inappropriate relationships, and the other was a Navy official.
Why It Matters: Ernst's close personal ties to military lobbyists highlight conflicts of interest in defense policymaking. While Senate rules do not explicitly prohibit such relationships, they undermine public trust and create potential avenues for improper influence over military funding and policy decisions.

Trump Moves to Sell Off Federal Buildings, Including FBI and DOJ Headquarters
What Happened: Trump announced plans to sell over 400 federal properties, including the FBI, DOJ, VA, and Labor Department headquarters. The General Services Administration claims the move could save over $430 million annually and reduce "underutilized" office space.
Why It Matters: Selling critical government buildings—including courthouses and law enforcement hubs— raises concerns about national security, workforce displacement, and the privatization of federal assets.

Senate Repeals Biden-Era Crypto Tax Rule, Benefiting Trump and Insiders
What Happened: The Senate voted 70-27 to repeal a rule requiring DeFi platforms to report customer transactions to the IRS. The measure, led by Sen. Ted Cruz, is expected to become law.
Why It Matters: This unprecedented repeal under the Congressional Review Act benefits the crypto industry and could cost the U.S. $3.9 billion in tax revenue while weakening efforts to track illicit financial activities. This will enable corruption, benefiting Trump, his family, and political insiders with financial stakes in the sector.

Commerce Overhauls Rural Internet Program, Boosting Starlink’s Funding
What Happened: Trump is revising the $42.5 billion Internet for All program, making Elon Musk’s Starlink eligible for significantly more rural broadband funding. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick’s changes will remove Biden-era fiber-optic preferences, directing $10 billion to $20 billion to Starlink—up from an expected $4.1 billion.
Why It Matters: This benefits Musk’s companies while sidelining traditional broadband providers. It exemplifies Trump’s pattern of governance, favoring loyalists and billionaires while consolidating power with oligarchic influence and corruption.

Trump Drops CFPB Lawsuit Against Major Banks Over Zelle Fraud
What Happened: The U.S. Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, effectively shuttered by Trump last month, dropped a lawsuit against JPMorgan Chase, Bank of America, and Wells Fargo over their failure to protect consumers from fraud on the Zelle payment platform.
Why It Matters: The lawsuit sought accountability for fraud that cost consumers hundreds of millions of dollars. The decision to drop the case highlights regulatory capture as Trump dismantles consumer protections in favor of major financial institutions. The move follows broader efforts to weaken oversight, including gutting the CFPB and rolling back financial regulations.

Trump Plans to Cut Up to Half of IRS Workforce
What Happened: The IRS is drafting plans to lay off up to 45,000 employees—half of its workforce—through layoffs, attrition, and buyouts under Trump and Elon Musk’s government purge. The cuts would gut tax enforcement, which will cripple revenue collection and efforts to crack down on wealthy tax dodgers.
Why It Matters: Slashing the IRS workforce will weaken tax enforcement, reduce government revenue, and allow the ultra-wealthy to evade taxes more easily.

Trump Moves to Dismantle Department of Education
What Happened: Education Secretary Linda McMahon announced the department’s “final mission,” outlining plans to dismantle the agency. Her memo calls for cutting DEI programs, restricting curriculum topics, and expanding school vouchers. Trump is expected to sign an executive order for the department’s shutdown.
Why It Matters: Trump’s agenda aims to eliminate federal education oversight, gut programs like Title I and Pell Grants, and redirect public funds to private and religious schools. Without congressional action, he could still cripple the department by slashing its funding and authority.

What Happened: Trump has “paused” the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency’s election security efforts. 17 CISA election security workers have already been put on administrative leave.
Why It Matters: Election experts warn that these disruptions will weaken U.S. election security, making it more vulnerable to cyber threats and foreign interference. CISA played a critical role in safeguarding election infrastructure and countering disinformation.

Trump Disbands Expert Panels on Economic Data
What Happened: Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick disbanded two expert panels—the Federal Economic Statistics Advisory Committee and the Bureau of Economic Analysis Advisory Committee—that advised the government on inflation, employment, and GDP data.
Why It Matters: This will weaken the quality of U.S. economic data by eliminating expert input, making it intentionally harder to track economic trends accurately. The decision follows Lutnick’s controversial push to strip government spending from GDP reports, raising concerns that the regime is manipulating economic data— as seen in authoritarian regimes.

Here Comes Trump's Privatization of the Social Security Administration
What Happened: A leaked email from SSA Commissioner Leland Dudek outlines plans to outsource "nonessential functions" and cut 7,000 jobs, close 45 field offices, and consolidate operations. Former Commissioner Martin O’Malley warns these changes could collapse the agency and disrupt benefits.
Why It Matters: Trump and Elon Musk are gutting the SSA under the guise of efficiency, but experts say it’s a backdoor plan to privatize Social Security, risking delayed payments for millions of seniors.

Trump Installs Loyalist to Dismantle Foreign Aid Agency
What Happened: The White House fired the president and board of the Inter-American Foundation and installed Trump loyalist Peter Marocco as the agency's sole leader. Elon Musk’s operatives immediately began shutting down programs, terminating local contractors, and requesting access to grantee data.
Why It Matters: Trump is gutting U.S. foreign aid, fueling chaos in Latin America and across the globe, and handing power to Russia and China. By ignoring Congress and ceding influence, Trump is escalating global instability—disastrous for the U.S. and beyond.

📢 In Media Suppression and Authoritarian Tactics News
Republicans Advised to Avoid In-Person Town Halls Amid Viral Confrontations

Richard Hudson (R-NC) suggested lawmakers use alternative methods to reach constituents, echoing GOP strategies from 2017, when protests erupted over health care cuts.
Why It Matters: Facing backlash for gutting the government, Republicans are running scared, dodging accountability before the election. They know voters are angry—so they’re hiding.

Trump threatens funding cut to colleges allowing 'illegal protests'
What Happened: Trump threatened colleges that allowing “illegal protests” could lead to the loss of federal funding. He also threatened to deport foreign students and imprison or expel American students who participate in protests.
Why It Matters: This is a blatant attack on free speech and academic independence, using state power to criminalize dissent. Today, it’s framed as fighting antisemitism—tomorrow, it will be used to silence anyone who opposes the regime.

Bowser Signals D.C. Will Paint Over BLM Plaza After GOP Funding Threats
What Happened: D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser announced plans to repaint Black Lives Matter Plaza after a Republican-led bill threatened to cut $185 million in federal transportation funds unless the city erased and renamed the site to "Liberty Plaza."

🛑 In Human and Civil Rights Abuses News
Pentagon Eliminates Civilian Protection Offices in Trump’s Military Overhaul
What Happened: Defense Secretary Hegseth has ordered the closure of the Pentagon’s Civilian Harm Mitigation and Response Office, along with the Civilian Protection Center of Excellence. Over 160 positions focused on preventing civilian casualties in U.S. combat operations will be eliminated, including advisory roles at operational commands like Central Command and Africa Command.
Why It Matters: This dismantles key safeguards to prevent civilian harm in military operations, marking a dangerous shift in Pentagon policy. This will lead to increased civilian casualties and violations of international law, reflecting the Trump regime’s push for a more aggressive, less-regulated military strategy.

RFK Jr sparks alarm after backing vitamins to treat measles amid outbreak
What Happened: Health Secretary RFK Jr. faced intense backlash after promoting vitamins instead of vaccines in response to a measles outbreak in Texas, which resulted in the first U.S. measles death in a decade. Kennedy called vaccination a "personal choice" and focused on nutrition and vitamin A in an opinion piece for Fox News, failing to endorse the 97% effective measles vaccine.
Why It Matters: Kennedy’s stance undermines public health efforts and will fuel vaccine hesitancy, worsening an outbreak that has already infected 146 people and hospitalized over 20. Experts warn his messaging creates false equivalency between vaccines and vitamins, endangering children's lives.
Source: The Guardian
Trump Launches Fresh Attacks on Abortion Rights
What Happened: Trump moved to drop a lawsuit defending emergency abortion access in Idaho and back South Carolina’s attempt to block Medicaid funds for Planned Parenthood. The DOJ will withdraw from a case challenging Idaho’s near-total abortion ban while also seeking to argue before the Supreme Court in support of South Carolina’s anti-Planned Parenthood policy.
Why It Matters: Trump’s actions threaten emergency abortion access and could cut funding for critical reproductive health services, including STI testing and birth control. These moves further cement his regime’s anti-abortion agenda.

Trump’s Funding Freeze Rattles Domestic Violence Nonprofits
What Happened: Trump’s funding freeze on “woke” federal programs has hit domestic violence and sexual assault nonprofits. The DOJ’s Office on Violence Against Women removed all open grant opportunities from its website, directing applicants not to finalize funding requests.
Why It Matters: Nonprofits that rely on OVW grants to provide emergency shelter, legal aid, and crisis services warn that any cuts will destabilize lifesaving programs, disproportionately harming marginalized communities.

📉 Government Services Disruption and Collapse Watch
State Department Halts Global Air Pollution Monitoring
What Happened: Trump abruptly ended a State Department program that used air quality sensors at more than 80 U.S. embassies and consulates to monitor global pollution levels. The program provided critical air quality data in regions with limited or unreliable monitoring. Officials cited "budget constraints" for the decision.
Why It Matters: The move eliminates a key source of independent pollution data, undermining public health efforts worldwide. The decision aligns with Trump’s broader extremist agenda to dismantle environmental monitoring and climate science, benefiting polluting industries while keeping the public in the dark about hazardous air conditions.

RFK Jr.’s Top HHS Spokesperson Abruptly Resigns
What Happened: Thomas Corry, the top communications official under HHS Secretary RFK Jr., resigned just two weeks after taking office. His departure followed RFK Jr.'s controversial response to a measles outbreak in Texas, where he downplayed its severity and lied about the number of deaths.
Why It Matters: Corry’s abrupt exit highlights internal chaos at HHS under RFK Jr.’s leadership, with frustrations over canceled vaccine meetings, stalled research funding, and mishandled public health crises. His departure raises further concerns about Trump’s radical overhaul of federal health agencies.

UK MPs Condemn JD Vance’s ‘Deeply Disrespectful’ Comments
What Happened: Vance sparked outrage after dismissing a proposed Anglo-French peacekeeping force for Ukraine, referring to “20,000 troops from some random country that has not fought a war in 30 or 40 years.” UK officials were enraged and swiftly condemned the remarks, calling them insulting to British and French soldiers who fought alongside the U.S. in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Why It Matters: Vance’s dismissive rhetoric weakens already strained U.S.-UK relations at a time when Western allies are working to bolster security guarantees for Ukraine. His remarks reinforce growing concerns about Trump’s America (Russia) First approach and hostility toward U.S. allies while cozying up to dictator thugs.

Poll: 73% of French People No Longer See U.S. as an Ally
What Happened: A new Elab/BFMTV poll reveals that 73% of French citizens believe the U.S. is no longer an ally of France. The findings reflect growing skepticism toward U.S. foreign policy under Trump, particularly in the wake of his hostility toward NATO, tariffs on European goods, and strained relations with key allies.
Why It Matters: Trump’s diplomatic isolationism is eroding longstanding transatlantic ties. As European leaders push for greater defense autonomy, this shift will undermine NATO cohesion and further distance the U.S. from its historical allies while Trump aligns with Russia.

🌍 Far-Right & Russian Influence Watch
Putin Played a Long Game. It’s Starting to Pay Off.
What Happened: Putin's long-standing strategy to weaken Western influence is bearing fruit as the U.S. shifts its foreign policy stance under Trump. The White House has paused military aid to Ukraine, distanced itself from NATO allies, and cozied up to Russia. Moscow sees this as a major strategic victory, with Russian officials expressing surprise at how quickly Trump has altered foreign policy alignments.
Why It Matters: The Kremlin is now in a stronger position to reshape the global order, with Trump echoing Russian propaganda and disinformation about Ukraine and prioritizing disengagement from Europe. The diplomatic realignment threatens to undermine NATO, embolden Russia’s bloody expansionist ambitions, and further isolate Ukraine in its war for survival.

Putin Sees Trump’s Ukraine Aid Freeze as a Victory
What Happened: Following Trump’s suspension of military aid to Ukraine, the Kremlin welcomed the decision, viewing it as a fracturing of Western unity. Russian media is amplifying Trump’s Oval Office humiliation of Zelenskyy, reinforcing Kremlin narratives.
Why It Matters: Trump’s NATO skepticism and retreat from Ukraine are weakening Western resolve. Sensing weakness, Putin may escalate and broaden military operations, knowing he has a supportive ally in Trump. Trump is carrying out a Russia First policy—domestically and abroad.

Trump Tariffs Could Raise U.S. Fuel Prices
What Happened: Trump’s tariffs on Mexico and Canada took effect Tuesday, including a 10% levy on Canadian energy and a 25% tariff on Mexican energy. Given that the U.S. imports more oil from Canada than any other country, analysts warn that fuel prices could rise within the next few weeks.
Why It Matters: Experts predict gasoline prices in New England could jump by 15–25 cents per gallon, along with potential spikes in heating oil costs. The tariffs may also impact refineries that rely on Canadian crude oil, adding uncertainty to energy markets and increasing costs for consumers.

What Happened: Trump’s tariffs on Mexican imports have Illinois farmers worried that Mexico, the world’s top corn importer, will retaliate by turning to South American suppliers.
Why It Matters: Illinois farmers rely heavily on Mexican buyers, particularly those using rail links to ship corn over 1,000 miles south. With grain prices already low and input costs rising, any loss of exports could further strain the U.S. agricultural sector.

Thanks for reading the Trump Tyranny Tracker. Stay tuned for more updates.
Quoting from CNN on Trump's State of the Union address last night:
"With his tariffs, his embrace of autocrats and his contempt for democracy at home and abroad, Trump is simultaneously dismantling the national security and free trade structures that made America the richest and most powerful nation in history. His power grabs since returning to the White House are threatening the Constitution and the rule of law — and validating fears of the founders, who dreaded that a president might one day try to be a king."
Both eloquent and accurate. One wonders why the Democrats are so spineless in their resistance to tyranny? Why they seem so unable to counter the tyrant? Is there no national level check to the would-be king?
Thank you for your continued courage to document what is happening to our Democracy. 44 days, incredible corruption taking place, absolutely insane. Will will prevail? That is the question.
