Honoring #Labor
Something Biden was all about. No matter what else, he was of & for 'the people' - workers, laborers, families.
Trump? Labor is for the little people.... Let Sir repeat his wondrous wins!
Sick, twisted, tangential... Be it #dementia or #BrainSpurs mixed with #TrumpVirus... What a contrast between a President serving #WeThePeople & improving our lives, versus a #grifter, #liar, #felon there to take it ALL for himself!

RE: https://newsie.social/@ProPublica/117213517470501507
How many in Congress are *not* violating ethics, oath of office, or law? And it rises to the top, where the stinking fish head rots downward into our economy and our world standing. Sad.
Paxton's. but one fitting poster child.
Even Sir is apologizing for him (he's not a 10 in the appearance department). Sick. -
So sad. So sick. So corrupt and evil. And so brazenly illegal, as if that matters now. :- (

Vapid depravity’: Rudy Giuliani
https://www.rawstory.com/raw-investigates/noelle-dunphy-rudy-giuliani/
#Vapid #Depravity - seems like the key words for the whole #TrumpVirus / #GQP / #Kleptocracy #cult
But Rudy #Giuliani, like Sir, is special. Perfect vapid depravity. Like so many stars of the #TrumpEpsteinFiles and Cabinet of #Corruption

#ToddBlanche posted 2 documents on social media on Sunday night∶ a signed memo in which he said that the #DOJ was formally rescinding an order that created the so-called “anti-weaponization fund” & an UNSIGNED‼️ statement in which the agency clarified the terms of the #IRS protections.

#ToddBlanche, the acting US #AG, confirmed in writing [1 unsigned] on Sunday night that the #DOJ would abandon “elements” of the deal it struck with #Trump to “resolve” his lawsuit against the #IRS, conceding to demands from Republican senators who had threatened to block his nomination as attorney general.

Acting AG #ToddBlanche said in announcing the fund in a statement that it was “a lawful [nope] process for victims of lawfare & weaponization to be heard & seek redress.”
#Democrats & #government #watchdogs immediately pledged to fight what they called a #corrupt & unprecedented resolution, warning that the arrangement would unjustly enrich people close to the president with #TaxpayerMoney & open the door to meritless claims of political persecution.

Yet on Tuesday, #Vance seemed to contradict #US efforts to push its allies to break with #Russia #energy, excoriating other #EU countries for moving to cease their imports of Russian #FossilFuels in response to the #war.
“It is funny to watch prime ministers & leaders in some of the Western European capitals talk about the #EnergyCrisis when frankly they should have been following the policies of Viktor #Orbán,” he said.

#Hungary, which has broken with most #EU countries by refusing to assist #Ukraine with financial assistance or weapons to ward off #Russia’s full-scale invasion, has remained firmly committed to purchasing Russian energy despite EU efforts to wean off such supplies.
In November, Hungary received an exemption from #US #sanctions on #Russia #oil & #gas after a White House meeting between #Orbán & #Trump.

#Trump has repeatedly endorsed #Orbán’s candidacy for reelection, & many in the #MAGA movement approve of the Hungarian leader’s opposition to #immigration, curtailing of #LGBTQ+ rights, & capture of the #media & #academia.
But with most independent polls showing a double-digit deficit for #Fidesz among decided voters ahead of the April 12 vote, Orbán has sought to boost his profile by appearing publicly with his international admirers.
-
Despite his clear endorsement of #Orbán, #Vance lashed out at the #EU for what he said was “one of the worst examples of foreign election interference that I’ve ever seen or ever even read about.”
Long accused by critics of taking over #Hungary’s institutions, clamping down on #press #freedom & overseeing entrenched political #corruption — charges he denies — Orbán has become an icon in the global #FarRight movement.

Seriously.
#JDVance says he's 'here to help' #Orbán #election campaign during #Hungary visit
Vance’s 2-day visit to Budapest is a bid to turn the tide in Orbán’s election campaign where the long-serving leader, a close #Trump ally, is trailing in the polls.

The United States is a Kleptocracy. The US government is completely corrupt and run by pedophiles and war criminals.

Shameful
#US Secretary of #State #MarcoRubio on Monday enthusiastically endorsed Hungarian Prime Minister #ViktorOrbán ‘s bid to serve a fifth straight term after upcoming elections in April, emphasizing during a visit to Budapest the strong personal relationship between the #nationalist leader & #Trump.

"A cryptocurrency firm run by the billionaire Winklevoss twins was facing a punishing federal lawsuit. After Donald J. Trump returned to the White House, the Securities and Exchange Commission moved to freeze the case.
The S.E.C. had also sued Binance, the world’s largest crypto exchange, but then dropped the case altogether under the new administration.
And after a yearslong legal fight with Ripple Labs, the new S.E.C. tried to reduce a court-ordered penalty against the crypto firm, seeking to soften the blow of the punishment.
The agency’s pullback from these cases illustrated a wide-ranging transformation in the federal government’s treatment of the crypto industry during President Trump’s second term, a New York Times investigation has found.
It is unheard-of for the agency to retreat from a swath of lawsuits against a single industry. And yet, The Times found that the S.E.C. had eased up on more than 60 percent of the crypto cases that were ongoing when Mr. Trump returned to the White House, moving to pause litigation, lessen penalties or outright dismiss the cases.
The dismissals were particularly unusual, The Times found. Under Mr. Trump, S.E.C. dismissals came at a far higher rate for crypto firms than other cases.
And although the particulars of the crypto lawsuits differed, many of these firms had something in common: financial ties to Mr. Trump, the self-described crypto president."

Michael Nedd’s BLM Calendar, From Election Day 2016 through the Inaugural Period
Back in 2019, I made a Freedom of Information Act request for the work calendar of Michael Nedd, a longtime Bureau of Land Management official, for the months following the 2016 election through the inaugural period. The documents were released just the other day, six years and four months after I submitted the FOIA request.
Nedd had been promoted from Executive Director, Energy Minerals and Management to Deputy Director at the Bureau of Land Management in March of 2017, just a couple of months after Trump took office. He would have been privy, I imagined, to any discussions of Twin Metals’ canceled mineral leases and the full-court-press flurry to renew them. I thought his work calendar might help me fill out the Timeline I made of that coordinated effort or help me reconstruct what was happening behind closed doors at BLM.
Upon review, these documents do not seem all that helpful in that regard. For example, the Timeline indicates that on February 7, 2017, Nedd forwards a briefing paper on land withdrawals to his colleagues; no surprise, his calendar for that day shows a “Land Withdrawal Proposal Discussion.” In my view, all this does is drive home a point I’ve made many times, that reversing land withdrawals was a priority for the incoming administration. And we already have Nedd’s calendar for April of 2017, when he met with then-solicitor Daniel Jorjani and other officials to discuss “Mining in Minnesota.” Or at least we had that calendar, but the link (to a domain called altgov2) has now gone dead. Well, not exactly dead: it’s a tarted-up 404 Page, occupied by “affiliate marketers.” I’m not going to bother linking to it, but if you want to see what I’m talking about, just go to the entry for April 10th on the Twin Metals Timeline and click the link to Nedd’s calendar.) It’s been a while, and, contrary to popular wisdom, the Internet is not forever.
So why put these documents up now? Circumstances have changed. The threat to the Boundary Waters looks even more menacing than it did during Trump’s first term, and we should be paying attention to what’s going on now, not what happened eight or more years ago, right?
What’s more, Michael Nedd was frog marched out of BLM’s office back in May, 2025, for telling employees to ignore a DOGE directive. (Politico has the details here; the Washington Post also has a story; I’ll note in passing that it’s classic Politico to report Nedd’s ouster, which is part of the clumsily executed destruction of modern American government that we’re witnessing, as a threat to Trump’s fossil fuel agenda.) Though Nedd is still listed on the BLM website as Deputy Director, Greenwire reports that Joe Stout has now replaced him as Acting Deputy Director. Things are unclear: there may be litigation underway or some reinstatement in the works. (After all, the DC kleptocrats wouldn’t want to do anything to threaten that fossil fuel agenda).
Anyway, I put these records up now because a) they arrived, so I might as well acknowledge the response; b) they help fill out the public record for a critical period; c) someone else might find these records useful; and d) I have a chance to test out Muckrock’s DocumentCloud plugin for WordPress — which I have not used until now.
In order to upload the 2000-plus-page calendar to documentcloud.org, I had to break it into two parts.
Part 1.
Part 2.
Postscript 30 August 2025: Results from the plugin experiment are mixed. Right now, it looks as if the documentcloud server is returning a 500 error. The docs, if you want them, are here.
Postcript 2, 9 Sept 2025. 1) It turns out the 500 error only shows up when I try to view the documents on Chrome, on my laptop. The plugin works just fine on Safari and Firefox. And when I emailed Sanjin Ibrahimovic at Muckrock to ask about all this, he said he could not replicate the 500 error, even when viewing the post in Chrome. So, who knows? I speculated that it might be an extension I’m running on Chrome. As long as people can access the documents, all is well, I guess. 2) On Chris D’Amico‘s suggestion, I tried looking at the post in an incognito window. And I can see the docs just fine.

On Feb. 5, #Trump’s #DOJ said it was closing the investigation into the diary. Ms. Fago & Ms. Walczak were not charged, nor was anyone from #ProjectVeritas.
In the meantime, a #pardon application was submitted on Mr. Walczak’s behalf. It suggested that Donald Trump Jr., as well as Ms. Guilfoyle & other Trump allies, supported his clemency.
-
Kurlander & Harris would later plead #guilty, admitting to conspiring to steal, transport & sell the diary to #ProjectVeritas. Ms. Harris was sentenced to one month in prison. Mr. Kurlander is scheduled to be sentenced next month.
When #Trump won the presidency for a second time, it offered hope to Project Veritas, Ms. Fago & Mr. Walczak.
-
The #FBI did not retrieve the diary [because it was stolen FFS]. Instead, Kurlander & Harris entered negotiations to provide it to #ProjectVeritas, a #Trump-allied undercover *media* group [foumd in a court to not be media] that had been tipped to the diary’s existence by Stephanie Walczak, Ms. Fago’s daughter.

now it's not even just the federal government that's going to put huge amounts of taxpayer cash into the hands of crypto bros - state governments are also getting in on the action.
All these states have proposed a direct transfer of taxpayer money into the hands of crypto bros:
- #Massachusetts
- #NewHampshire
- #NorthDakota
- #Ohio
- #Oklahoma
- #Pennsylvania
- #Texas

elon and andreessen waxing philosophical about drones on podcasts recently and then just a few days later Don Jr. becomes an "adviser" to a drone manufacturer, no doubt for his extensive unmanned vehicle expertise.
Kleptocracy is coming.

#DonHankey heads #KnightSpecialtyInsurance Co.
Forbes reports he is worth $7.4B & his wife, Debbi Bowles is worth $3.2B.
Apparently they make the majority of their $ from auto loans.They (of course) donate to #Trump.
