  1. This guy DOES NOT WORK FOR THE UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT & therefore has no #oversight or #guardrails & no obligation to the people of the #US

    #JaredKushner Meets With #Hamas to Advance Trump’s #Gaza “Plan”

    #Trump’s son-in-law met the #Palestinian militant group’s leaders in Egypt, officials said. He will soon see #Israel PM Benjamin #Netanyahu.

  2. On Friday, the Mayor also released this self-congratulatory video about the body camera policy that he's hoping will be passed on Monday: instagram.com/reel/DbJLZDzRjl3
    (apologies for the Instagram link)

    It's important to note that despite the fact that Mayor Wilson mentions #oversight in the same breath as body cameras, no civilian oversight body exists in #Somerville at this time, and creating one will likely take years.

  3. In their filing, the fmr #judges alleged that #Trump had improperly used his suit against the IRS as a way to obtain “unlawful private benefits” for himself & his family, & to create a #SlushFund that would dole out #TaxpayersMoney “without constitutional or congressional authority.”

    They also argued that Trump had tried to shield the deal from #judicial #oversight by rushing a #settlement & “short-circuiting” Judge Williams’s ability to examine its terms.

  4. #GhislaineMaxwell, the longtime companion of Jeffrey #Epstein who is serving a federal #SexTrafficking sentence, invoked her #FifthAmendment right in response to every question asked during a deposition before the House #Oversight Cmte on Monday.

    Rep Suhas Subramanyam of Virginia, one of the #Democrats on the Oversight Cmte, condemned Ghislaine Maxwell’s pursuit of #clemency during her deposition, but also faulted #Trump for not shutting down the idea.

  5. We took pictures of each other’s signs! Hers was so great, w the little doll hands and the red cheeks of the SCOTUS puppets. So cheap, only $4.3M each!
    Her scissors message is spot on: “When injustice becomes law, resistance becomes duty”.

  6. "AI already helps #clinicians to make #diagnoses, triage critical cases & transcribe clinical notes.. But #regulation of #medical #AI products hasn't kept up w te rapid pace of adoption.. Unlike most other #FDA-regulated prods, AI tools continue to evolve aft approval as they r updated or retrained.. Tis raises te need for continuous #oversight.. The discussion is especially timely amid recent signs tt te #federal #government might #scaleback #AIregulation"

  7. “The charges against me are purely political—they mischaracterize & distort my actions, & are meant to #criminalize & deter #legislative #oversight,” she said.

    #AlinaHabba also announced that she had dismissed a misdemeanor charge for trespass against #RasBaraka, the Democratic mayor of #Newark, whose arrest had precipitated the flare-up w/federal agents after he sought to join the lawmakers on their tour of the detention center.

  8. Before #Republicans took control of the #Jouse in early 2023, #Mazars had begun producing documents in response to a congressional subpoena, turning over a subset of records to #Oversight Cmte #Democrats, led by Rep #JamieRaskin. But when Republicans assumed control the new Cmte chair, #JamesComer (R), ended the investigation into #Trump’s alleged violations of the #emoluments clause, declining to enforce a #CourtOrdered agreement that Mazars produce evidence related to Trump’s business dealings

  9. Along the way, #Milley deflected #Trump’s exhortations to have the US #military ignore, & even on occasion commit, #WarCrimes. Milley & other military officers deserve praise for protecting #democracy, but their actions should also cause deep #unease. In the #American system, it is the #voters, the #courts, & #Congress that are meant to #serve as #checks on a #president’s behavior, not the generals. #Civilians provide #direction, #funding, & #oversight; the military then follows #lawful #orders.

  10. President #Biden on Thursday called on #FinancialRegulators to toughen #oversight of medium-sized #banks that face #ReducedScrutiny in the wake of a #RegulatoryRollback implemented during #Trump administration, his most aggressive response yet to the #failure of two #banks earlier this month that rattled the nation’s #FinancialSystem. Proposals would not require any action from Congress and could be accomplished by regulators, administration officials said. nytimes.com/2023/03/30/us/poli #banking #risk
