The future of Donald Trump's FOUR criminal cases is uncertain. Some may be put on hold and revived after he leaves office, while others may be dismissed before he's sworn in. However, the many civil suits pending against Trump at the moment should continue during his presidency because there have been rulings that he is not immune from many of the cases individuals have brought against him in his capacity as a private citizen.

Trump Cabinet Pick GETS SLAPPED by Major Lawsuit

 Thank you for addressing this.

I don't see that the video clips you showed are entertainment.

When the scandals surrounding Catholic priests in the Boston area were addressed, the men were emotionally crippled & had suffered in silence for decades like a festering wound. Beyond this issue of abuse, Linda McMahon LIED that she had a Masters degree in Education - in other words UNQUALIFIED.

Trump’s pick to be in charge of our nation’s children and their education, Linda McMahon, who made a fortune in the sex-fueled and abusive world of wrestling, had been hit with a new lawsuit brought by 5 former little boys who alleged they were groomed and raped by a Executive of Linda’s and that she knew her should’ve known about it.

Get Your Vaccines

No matter what HHS Secretary-nominee RFK Jr. says, science works and keeps us safe. Make sure that, if you haven’t already, you get your vaccines going into the holiday season. I got my COVID booster and Flu shot (in the same arm!) yesterday, and although I’m one of those people who reacts with mild flu-like symptoms, it’s well worth a little temporary discomfort to get the protection!

No chickens were harmed while I spent most of the day in bed—my son Teddy was on hand to fill in and take down some treats.

Increasingly, I’m contemplating the issues we are going to face at the intersection of public health and the rule of law. Dr. Vin Gupta posted on BlueSky today, “We need as many healthcare professionals to be courageous and speak to truth, for our patient’s sake and for the sanctity and credibility of our profession. That starts now. We cannot allow the highly abnormal to be normalized.” He said it in the context of the qualifications, or lack thereof, of Trump’s nominees for key positions in the health sector, including Marty Makary as FDA commissioner, Dr. Janette Nesheiwat for surgeon general, and Dr. Dave Weldon for CDC director, all of whom would work for Kennedy. Each of them is controversial. And, of course, there’s Mehmet Oz for CMS, which oversees agencies including Medicare and Medicaid.

So, there is lots of serious work ahead of us. As I wrote to you last night, this is not the time to be disengaged. Trump is normalizing the unthinkable in front of our eyes. It’s no time to back down or hide your head in the sand. My commitment to you is that I will do my best to be a voice that helps you navigate the legal and political issues, bringing you facts, original court pleadings and documents so you can read them for yourself. I’ll provide the careful analysis you need to make up your own mind about what’s right and what’s wrong, and what it’s necessary for each of us to do.

It’s time to pick ourselves up and get back to work.

We’re in this together,

Joyce

Howard Lutnick, the Wall Street Billionaire Staffing Trump’s Cabinet, Hosted a Fundraiser for Hillary Clinton’s Presidential Bid in 2016

Donald Trump and Howard Lutnick at a Campaign Event

Donald Trump and Howard Lutnick at a Campaign Event

On Friday evening, August 2, Howard Lutnick, the Chairman and CEO of the Wall Street trading house, Cantor Fitzgerald, held a fundraiser populated by the super wealthy at his home in the Hamptons. The bash was to help presidential candidate Donald Trump shore up his sagging campaign coffers. Tickets went for $25,000 each or $50,000 if you wanted a photo with Trump. You could be listed on the program as a host for a mere $500,000. According to Lutnick, the event raised $15 million. According to Federal Election Commission (FEC) records, Lutnick himself was responsible for a third of that amount. He wrote out a check for $5 million to the Trump campaign the Monday after the event.

Not long thereafter, Trump announced Lutnick as Co-Chair of his transition team, a post he shares with former World Wrestling Entertainment chief executive Linda McMahon. Lutnick is now widely reported to be the person overseeing the hiring of thousands of employees, including high level positions, in the Trump administration.

What is more than a little bizarre about the power that Trump has bestowed on Lutnick, is the fact that when Hillary Clinton ran against Trump for President in 2016, Lutnick held a similar big-donor bash for Clinton at his Manhattan mansion. In addition, in the 2015-2016 campaign cycle, Lutnick lavished donations on high profile Democratic races for Senate seats. FEC records show Lutnick supported Senate races by the following Democrats: Chuck Schumer, Chris Van Hollen, Evan Bayh, Tammy Duckworth, Catherine Cortez Masto and numerous others, including (wait for it) Kamala Harris.

It seems more than a little possible that Trump – a master of conning people into doing his bidding (who end up stripped of their law licenses or going to jail as a result) – may in this case be getting conned himself.

Lutnick told the Financial Times he is picking Trump’s staff based on the following criteria:

“They’re all going to be on the same side, and they’re all going to understand the policies, and we’re going to give people the role based on their capacity — and their fidelity and loyalty to the policy, as well as to the man.”

But Lutnick’s own loyalty to Trump looks sketchy, given his donor activities for Hillary Clinton and Senate Democrats in 2016.

In addition, Lutnick is far from Trump’s largest donor. He says he has given $10 million to Trump’s campaign. But the banking and oil heir, Timothy Melloncontributed $125 million to Trump’s campaign.

One of Lutnick’s sources of power in the Trump circle is that he is a long-term supporter of Israel, which commands its own power base in the U.S. As The Intercept reported recently:

“Ahead of the 2024 cycle and amid growing public outrage over Israel’s war on Gaza, AIPAC [American Israel Public Affairs Committee] made a bold pronouncement: Through its United Democracy Project arm and AIPAC PAC, it would spend $100 million on elections, about one-sixth of what outside groups spent on the 2020 presidential election.

“There are few congressional races that AIPAC sat out this year. Of the 469 seats up for reelection this year, AIPAC has spent money on more than 80 percent: 389 races in total. AIPAC has sought influence over 363 seats in the House and 26 in the Senate.”

New hires in the Trump administration may need to pass two loyalty tests: loyalty to Trump and loyalty to Israel.


WALL STREET ON PARADE

We have a small window to get this done

 

POGO Weekly Spotlight

Editor’s Note: There will be no Weekly Spotlight Saturday, November 30th. We will be back in your inbox on December 7th. Happy Holidays!

When the executive branch fails to meet its promises, you deserve accountability. Inspectors general are crucial allies in delivering that accountability.

There are currently several vacant inspectors general positions across the federal government, including the openings left after two top intelligence watchdogs resigned this week following former President Donald Trump’s re-election, as we reported in a breaking investigation. Along with 18 other organizations, we sent a letter to the Senate demanding they take action to fill these roles immediately.

But that’s not all that needs to happen to pave the way for accountability. President Joe Biden must also fire Department of Homeland Security Inspector General Joseph V. Cuffari and replace him with a watchdog who will serve with integrity.

We’ve been calling for Cuffari to be fired since 2022, and his actions in the years since have only made a stronger case for his removal. A federal panel published the results of a years-long probe into Cuffari’s misconduct early last month and substantiated claims that he conducted a retaliatory investigation against a whistleblower and used over $1 million of taxpayer money to settle the retaliation claims.

We sent a letter to President Biden urging him to remove and replace Cuffari while still in office. We have a small window to make this happen, so we’re doubling down. We need to ensure that a devoted, capable public servant is overseeing the government’s largest federal law enforcement agency. Cuffari simply doesn’t fit that bill.

Urge Biden to replace Cuffari

The window for opportunity is small, but we can force action. Cuffari has proven time and time again that he’s not fit to be inspector general of the Department of Homeland Security, and the job is simply too important to be entrusted to someone who can’t carry it out with integrity.
Sign onto our letter and demand IG Cuffari be removed and replaced with a watchdog worthy of the job — ASAP.

QUOTE OF THE WEEK

“The question in that case was that Carl Icahn seemed to take the public outrage seriously enough that he stepped down. I don’t see [Elon Musk] having the same sense of shame that Icahn did eight years ago.”

Danielle Brian, Executive Director and President, in USA Today

OVERHEARD

Tweet from @DanielleBrian: We need our IGs in place to be our early warning system especially in the intelligence community. Watchdogs need to stay in the fight for accountable government.

Independent, nonpartisan oversight is more important now than ever.

During former President Trump’s first term in office, we worked tirelessly to expose corruption and abuse of power — and we’re prepared to do it again. We need you with us to push back on dangerous policies that could further erode our democratic institutions. This is a critical moment, and we will not compromise our values. We will hold the line. Give now so we can fight back strong.

ONE LINERS

“This is an issue where we can push Congress to fully exercise its oversight authority.”

Joe Spielberger, Policy Counsel, in Reuters

 

“We have a [President-Elect] who hasn’t shown a lot of respect for checks and balances when they implicate him.”
