EU prosecutor’s office suspends Bulgarian prosecutor amid probe – POLITICO


This video is one of the reasons Congress wants to ban TikTok. They don't want this factual information seen by the public.

In past years people would have to watch CNBC or some other obscure TV channel to learn what Congress is doing.

Videos like this one gives the information to hundreds of thousands, and sometimes millions, of people.

An opinion piece. But IMHO (as goodd as this) we all know that Westminster Ministers typically only think of their own advantages - now and in the future. Others who will not benefit them are only of interest if it might effect their votes (and earning potential)

“There is substantial reason to believe that Rep Mills may have entered into, held, or enjoyed contracts with fed agencies while he was a MOC,” reads the OCC report released Thursday by the Ethics CMTE.

Mills declined to cooperate with investigators from the OCC. “This concerted effort to limit [the office’s] access to relevant info., often from witnesses also represented by Rep Mills’s attorney, undermined these investigative efforts.

What an utter shit, as my late dad would say.
Then again the entire cess pit is full of them.

COULD the current lot be any more incompetent?
Short Termism - what do they not understand about why it is the worst idea?

I think history will be divided as to whether it was Truss or Starmer that totalled the UK economy.

Try collecting tax from the RICH dodgers and reclaim essentials from asset strippers and overseas "Wealth Funds" and state owned utiilities using us as cash cows.

The by conservatives so called "#DeepState" in the #USA is apparently the #state itself.

Like, you know, bureaucracy, checks n balances, rule of law, that sort of stuff.

And that is now replaced by open #Corruption & #SelfEnrichment of a ruling "elite" in EVERY ASPECT OF SOCIETY.

Americans will look up to places like Somalia as lighthouses of righteousness.

Another day, another politician forgets (due to an 'oversight') to declare shares in companies that are directly related to his political activity.... this time Lord Darzi & interest in four private health firms.

They're a forgetful lot these senior politicians - perhaps the House of Parliament register of interests should be handed over to the DWP, who seem to have a lot less patience with such oversights (by benefits claimants)!

The Framers Had a Plan to Protect Us From Elon Musk

“If Trump gets away with doing this, we’re going back to the 18th century.”

#ElonMusk #Corruption #Coup #Trump #USPol #News #USA #US
Text from article:
While this drama is spilling out in the press, it’s legally relevant. Multiple challenges to Musk and the actions of his Department of Government Efficiency allege his vast authority violates the Appointments Clause, one of the Constitutions key anti-corruption measures. Under this clause, which the framers crafted to prevent the kingly practice of handing jobs and authority to unaccountable allies, any officer of the United States must be formally nominated by the president and confirmed by the Senate. Moreover, such appointees must fill a role created by Congress. Musk’s exercise of vast authority, at least four lawsuits allege, is unconstitutional, as he was neither confirmed by the Senate nor is he serving in any role Congress created. “You don’t have to stretch the text very far to see that there is a problem under [the Appointments Clause in] Article Two,” says Jed Shugerman, a law professor and historian at Boston University School of Law.


The schools trying to teach America's kids to think like #ElonMusk

“We want to make something for the kids that we think are most likely to have a high impact, because we think those kids are underserved by the system, because there is this ideology of #equality or equity that's everywhere in #Education he said. “We're going to be totally fine if this thing helps the top 10% of kids more than it helps the bottom 10%.

The schools trying to teach America's kids to think like Elon Musk

by Caleb Ecarma
Mar 17, 2025

A “conundrum” that asks young school children whether humans would be better off being governed by an AI overlord. Another that revolves around the ethics of rigging an arcade game to make it unwinnable. And a third scenario on a company that uses its products to illicitly gather data from conversations its customers have in their homes.

These are some of the “open-ended” questions — intended to have no right or wrong answers — that an Elon Musk-linked online education program poses to elementary and middle school-aged children. The Astra Nova School, a nonprofit built out of a school founded by Musk a decade ago, has spent the last few years churning out online curriculum with the goal of teaching American children to think more like Musk.


"In the #tech bro world #ElonMusk comes from, the definition of "freedom" is that rich people get to treat everyone else however they like, without that pesky #government coming in to protect people's #safety, autonomy or civil #rights.

#Musk #Coup #Corruption #Fascism #Authoritarianism #Trump #GOP #Politics #News #USA
Text from article(edited for length):
By design, the details of how "freedom cities" would be established are laden with legalese... In practice, the plan is straightforward. Advocates want the federal government to set aside land to build cities exempt from federal and state laws. Instead, the cities would function as mini-dictatorships, where the CEO of each town runs everything, and the people who live and work there are subject to the boss's whims. It would be like being an employee of a controlling company, except you don't clock out at the end of the day or have a life — or rights — outside of what the boss allows you. 

"These are going to be cities without democracy," journalist Gil Duran told Wired. He's spent years documenting how the Silicon Valley elite — along with politicians like Vice President JD Vance — have pushed the idea that democracy should be ended and replaced with governments run by all-powerful businessmen. "These are going to be cities where the owners of the city, the corporations, the billionaires have all the power and everyone else has no power." In the tech bro world Elon Musk comes from, the definition of "freedom" is that rich people get to treat everyone else however they like, without that pesky government coming in to protect people's safety, autonomy or civil rights. As Duran explained in his newsletter, "These cities will be controlled entirely by tech billionaires and corporations, operating outside of U.S. laws."
