  6. #Canada struck back at #Trump Tuesday with #tariffs on about $20 billion worth of #US goods, in response to the latest round of #TrumpTariffs on Canada.

    The outcome could resonate far beyond Canada, showing other governments whether a smaller US ally can withstand Trump’s economic pressure [ #MafiaState ].

  15. The investigators asked #military officers & civilian employees on the #JointStaff if they disclosed classified information to members of the #press, & about whether they provided information about diminished US munitions stocks.

    The #polygraph tests were conducted in August after a flurry of news reports detailed diminished stocks of crucial munitions, including of long-range missiles & Patriot interceptors.

  16. The posts were Trump’s most explicit efforts yet to direct the #FCC to carry out his wishes. FCC Chair #BrendanCarr, a Trump appointee & close ally, did not respond to request for comment.

    #Trump posted a long missive Sunday about what he described as mischaracterizations of his endorsement record in primaries.

  21. Treating the #FCC like his own personal enforcer, #Trump said on social media Sunday that #NBC’s #KristenWelker would be “reported to the FCC for rebuke or punishment” over a TV segment he didn’t like.

    In a separate post, Trump complained in all caps about “fake polls” & said “something must be done about it,” adding, “FCC to the rescue!”

  23. The #FCC, led by its chairman, #BrendanCarr, called for an unusual, early review of the broadcast licenses last spring, citing ABC’s internal diversity & inclusion practices. None of the #ABC licenses, which have terms of 8 years, were up for renewal yet. Carr’s decision came after the ABC late-night host, #JimmyKimmel, angered #Trump with a monologue joke.

  24. #Trump has long been a harsh critic of the #news #media. But in his second term in office, he has moved aggressively to use the immense powers of the federal government in his efforts to attack the #press.

    Earlier this year, the #DOJ sought to compel testimony from #journalists at The Wall Street Journal & The Washington Post. The DOJ withdrew the #subpoenas after both news organizations fought back in sealed filings.

  25. The #subpoenas contain few specifics, asking only that the #journalists testify “in regard to an alleged violation of federal criminal law.” They were issued by #JayClayton, the #USattorney in Manhattan. Clayton, who leads one of the country’s most prominent law enforcement offices, was recently nominated by #Trump to serve as director of national intelligence [ #DNI ].

  26. In some cases, the #subpoenas were delivered by federal agents who showed up at #reporters’ homes.

    The #NYT denounced the admin’s actions.

    “The appearance of federal law enforcement agents on the doorstep of news reporters should shock the conscience of any American who believes in the #Constitution & the #PressFreedom it protects,” said David McCraw, The NYT’s top newsroom lawyer, in a statement Friday evening.

  27. American #WhiteSupremacist cavemen with #Russia are targeting #Canada with fake #AI videos and #propaganda promising a better life in the US to feed a #separatist movement in #Alberta to destabilize another #democracy in the West. But beyond that, the #US, a rogue #MafiaState in its current state, is hellbent on grabbing more oil, this time from #Canada, a clear sign of their endless #greed and #narcissism and that their #imperialist #colonizer impulses have no limits.

  29. That could block #public #access to more than 700 million White House emails, among countless other records, in Archives possession since the #law went into effect in 1978, Baron said.

    …The impact of the #DOJ opinion could be felt quickly by #historians, #scholars & #journalists who regularly access presidential records & make requests for their release.

  30. #Trump #DOJ #antitrust head Gail Slater stepping down less than a year after being appointed.

    In July, Reuters reported 2 of Slater's deputies were fired for “insubordination” after a settlement greenlighting #HewlettPackard Enterprise's $14 billion acquisition of #JuniperNetworks. The move exposed a power struggle within Trump's admin between proponents of robust antitrust enforcement & dealmakers seeking to #leverage #influence.

  31. #Trump admin officials claimed that the officer who shot #ReneeGood had been under attack & was acting in self-defense, & #state investigators have been blocked from accessing #evidence related to the case.

    After a 2nd resident was killed — #AlexPretti, a #VeteransAffairs #nurse who was also 37 — #federal officials initially appeared to use the same playbook.

  32. While the #subpoenas did not cite a specific criminal statute [there isn’t one that applies] that #DOJ was “investigating”, the inquiry is purportedly said to focus on whether elected officials in #Minnesota had conspired to impede the thousands of federal agents who have been in the state since last month looking for undocumented immigrants [big wink].

  33. #Indiana #Republican Gov #MikeBraun called Monday for state lawmakers to return to Indianapolis for an emergency session to redraw the state’s congressional map.

    #Trump has pressured Republican governors nationwide to draw new maps so the #GOP can keep control of the #House in the #midterms. While #Republicans in #Texas, #Missouri & #NorthCarolina moved quickly to obey their #DearLeader, Indiana lawmakers have been more hesitant.

  34. A separate document also from Feinberg would establish a program to randomly #polygraph those ofcls. The documents do not prescribe a limit on who would be subjected to these #NDAs & tests, suggesting it could include everyone from four-star generals to administrative assistants.
    
The efforts are part of a wider strategy by the #Trump admin & the #Pentagon to ferret out ofcls deemed insufficiently #loyal or who provide info to reporters.
