This slipped into the news this afternoon: "DOGE can access sensitive Social Security records, Supreme Court rules - POLITICO."..."A coalition of groups who sued over DOGE’s access said in a statement that the high court’s ruling “will enable President Trump and DOGE’s affiliates to steal Americans’ private and personal data.” It's just appeared in the WAPO. Will there be any Congressional oversight? Could we be seeing the first steps in a centralised Palantir-integrated data bank with citizens' Social Security, IRS and health information? Any thoughts?

This is Thiel and control. Control of information. True Facism. Financial control that J.P. Morgan couldn't imagine. It can be fought. The Resistance has always been a minority. I'm worried that not enough realize.

Right, not enough realize. Hard to resist shadows. Where are the stories that connect the dots: Thiel's funding of Vance...His friendship with Musk and Trump Jr...his founding of Palantir.....and Palantir's establishing platforms in the Federal government. Same with Doge: Very murky. Are there Congressional Dems protesting? Might try to reach out...

I hope there will be coverage of the veterans united gathering at the National Mall today. Many heartfelt speeches.

I was there and it was a strong rally of people of all ages, races and identities

I'm glad. I watched on CSpan a good portion of it. Can you write your thoughts on this event?

Thanks, especially the Ginny Canter discussion on Musk's Conflicts of Interests.

Musk is a government contractor and should not have been able to make the $288 million contributions documented by CGS and other media. https://www.fec.gov/help-candidates-and-committees/federal-government-contractors/

If so, wjhat would be the damages and penalties?

Besides all that, Musk has participated with the aegis of Trump with other potential "customers," like the countries and businesses and institutions that Trump extorts via tarriffs and what he calls "deals," but are suggestions they can't refuse, like the Godfather the thinks he is.

Bill Gates and other allege that Musk killed 300,000 Africans. "The picture of the world's richest man killing the world's poorest children is not a pretty one," the Microsoft founder told the Financial Times.

What about Musk's tort exposure? Did Trump admit that Musk store Pennsylvainia?

Is that also criminal? Should a Pa. grand jury investigate?

With Regard To LA and the National Guard

I have described Delaware’s HB 94 before but after the actions by president Felon I think it important enough to revisit

AN ACT AMENDING TITLES 10 AND 11 OF THE DELAWARE CODE RELATING TO LAW ENFORCEMENT COOPERATION IN FEDERAL IMMIGRATION ENFORCEMENT.

This Act restricts law enforcement from cooperating with federal agencies conducting immigration enforcement activities at schools or churches without permission from the attorney general.

This bill was introduced 3/27/25 and as of 5/20 it has just sat in committee with no interaction by the Assembly.

Personally, I don’t think it goes far enough to keep the unprincipled current administration out of Delaware but it is a start. But we can’t allow it to just sit so you have to reach out to the committee members and get them moving; they are as follows:

Chair:

Franklin D. Cooke, District 16

Vice-Chair(s):

Edward S. Osienski, District 24

Members:

Josue O Ortega, District 3 (sponsor)

Cyndie Romer, District 25

Madinah Wilson-Anton, District 26 (sponsor)

Shannon Morris, District 30

Jesse R. Vanderwende, District 35

Lyndon D. Yearick, District 34

Russ Vought, Steve Miller and JD Vance are the most evil people in the government. They are all contributors to the Project 2025 manifesto. They are doing a lot of damage behind the scenes as we watch the Trump Musk falling out.

Musk already stole our data, his mission all along.

Abrego Garcia will be due a big payout!

Let Musk and Trump self destruct.

Happy Pride!
