During the confirmation hearings of the Office of Management and Budget Director and Deputy Director for budget earlier this year, lawmakers pressed Russ Vought and Dan Bishop about whether they would comply with the Impoundment Control Act. The budget rules of the road require congressional approval if OMB decides not to spend money appropriated in law, while both Vought and Bishop promised to comply with the law. A new decision by the Government Accountability Office casts further doubt on whether OMB will follow the 1974 impoundment Control Act.

Legal News for Tues 2/25 - Judge Blocks Musk's DGE, Trump to Appoint Sycophant Patel to ATF and ARPA Funding Community Broadband

This Day in Legal History: Lincoln Signs Legal Tender ActOn February 25, 1862, President Abraham Lincoln signed the Legal Tender Act into law, allowing the U.S. government to issue paper money not backed by gold or silver. These new notes, called "greenbacks" due to their color, became the first widely circulated fiat currency in American history. The Civil War had placed enormous financial strain on the Union, and the government needed a way to fund its war effort without relying solely on borrowing or taxation. By making greenbacks legal tender for all debts except customs duties, the law ensured their widespread use. However, the move was controversial, as some feared it would cause inflation and undermine public confidence in the currency. Despite this, the greenbacks helped stabilize the wartime economy and ensured that soldiers and suppliers were paid. After the war, legal battles arose over whether the government could require creditors to accept paper money instead of gold or silver. The Supreme Court initially ruled against the policy in Hepburn v. Griswold (1870) but reversed its decision in The Legal Tender Cases (1871), upholding the government's power to issue fiat currency. The Legal Tender Act set a precedent for the federal government's control over the monetary system, paving the way for modern U.S. currency.A federal judge has temporarily blocked Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency (DGE) from accessing sensitive data held by the U.S. Education Department and the Office of Personnel Management. The ruling, issued by Judge Deborah Boardman in Maryland, came in response to a lawsuit from labor unions arguing that granting DGE access to personal records violated the Privacy Act of 1974. The data in question includes Social Security numbers, addresses, income details, and citizenship status of federal employees and student aid recipients. The Trump administration contended that restricting DGE's access would hinder its government downsizing efforts, but the judge determined that the agency had no legitimate need for such information. The White House has not commented on the decision. Since Trump's return to office, DGE, led by Musk, has pursued aggressive cost-cutting measures, including mass layoffs. The ruling follows another court decision in New York that blocked DGE from accessing Treasury Department systems, amid multiple lawsuits challenging its authority.US judge blocks Musk's DOGE team from accessing Education Department, OPM data | ReutersPresident Donald Trump is set to appoint Kash Patel, the newly confirmed FBI director, as the acting head of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF), according to a source. Patel, a staunch Trump ally, will oversee both agencies simultaneously, a move that has sparked concerns among Democrats and moderate Republicans who previously opposed his FBI nomination due to his history of targeting Trump's critics. Patel has strong backing from pro-gun groups and is expected to shift the ATF's focus away from firearm regulation. The decision aligns with Trump's campaign rhetoric criticizing the ATF for being overly aggressive toward gun owners. Attorney General Pam Bondi recently fired the agency's top legal counsel, Pamela Hicks, claiming ATF officials had unfairly targeted gun owners. Bondi has also redirected the ATF's priorities toward immigration enforcement. Patel's dual appointment is part of a broader Trump administration strategy, with multiple officials holding multiple roles, including Marco Rubio at the State Department and Russ Vought at the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.Trump to name FBI chief Patel as acting ATF director, source says | ReutersFrom a great piece written by Karl Bode for Techdirt, the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) is funding affordable, community-owned broadband networks in underserved areas, challenging monopoly control by major telecom companies. In New York, Oswego County received a $26 million grant to build an open-access fiber network, allowing multiple internet providers to compete over shared infrastructure. The network's primary provider, Empire Access, is offering 500 Mbps service for $50 a month and 1 Gbps for $65, significantly undercutting industry giants like Charter and Verizon.Similarly, Minnesota's Carver County has used ARPA funds to build dark fiber infrastructure, leasing it to MetroNet in a public-private partnership. MetroNet now provides residents with gigabit fiber for $50 and 5 Gbps for $110, far cheaper than traditional providers. This strategy contrasts with other states that continue to funnel broadband subsidies to large telecoms with a history of neglecting rural and low-income areas.Some states—Vermont, Maine, California, and New York—are using federal funds to expand community-owned broadband, treating internet access as an essential utility. However, with an additional $42.5 billion in broadband grants from the 2021 infrastructure bill set to be distributed, the Trump administration and the Department of Government Efficiency (DGE) will likely attempt to redirect these funds toward corporate-backed projects instead of community-driven initiatives.ARPA Is Quietly Funding Cheap ($50-$65 A Month) Community-Owned Gigabit Fiber Access To Long Neglected Neighborhoods | Techdirt This is a public episode.

2429 - Federal Workers Stand Up To Elon & Trump; MAGA's DEI Doxxing Campaign w/ Benjamin Dixon

It's Casual Friday! Emma speaks with Ben Dixon, host of the Benjamin Dixon Show, to discuss the week in news. First, Emma runs through updates on the confirmation of Project 2025 leader Russ Vought to the OMB, Trump's official destruction of USAID and the devastating impact it could have on US Agriculture, Trump's targeting of HHS, Pam Bondi's repeal of anti-foreign influence efforts, birthright citizenship, ICE's detainment of a DACA middle school teacher, the NCAA's transphobic policy, Mike Johnson's tax cuts for the rich, and Trump's ICC sanctions, before diving a little deeper into the Trump/Musk Administration's attempts to obscure the insane levels of their executive overreach. Ben Dixon then joins, jumping right into the need for the US public to rally behind their federal workers in the face of genuine intimidation and threats from the Trump/Musk Administration, exploring the obvious and extensive danger posed by allowing more space for Trump loyalists and obstructionists in the government alongside the necessary role they play in bolstering genuine attempts to resist this regime. After expanding on the major solidarity being shown between federal workers at this moment – including relevant unions – Dixon and Emma parse through Trump's declaration of a US-backed plan to ethnically cleanse Gaza, and Democrats' ongoing inability (or genuine lack of desire) to stand up for marginalized communities at home or abroad, wrapping up the show by reiterating his call to rally behind our federal workers. And in the Fun Half: Emma touches on the struggle from Democratic leadership and media actually to address the ongoing administrative coup, before looking to some exceptions to that trend, including Kyle Clark's coverage of recent blunders in Colorado and Texas Rep. James Talarico's tirade against the lies of “school choice.” The MR Team also watches Ben Shapiro's gleeful defence of Trump's ethnic cleansing plan for Gaza, and gets an update from the Crowder & Co. deposition, before diving deep into the long history of fascist regimes relying on rhetorics of efficiency and bureaucratic cutbacks to obscure their destruction of public welfare, plus, your IMs!

Happy Friday! Sam and Emma speak with Ryan Grim, reporter at and co-founder of Drop Site News, co-host of Counter Points, to round up the week in news. Sam and Emma run through updates on Elon Musk's takeover of the US Treasury, Paramount's multi-million dollar payoff to Trump, Trump's attempt to blame a recent plane crash on desegregation, Trump's impending tariffs, the confirmation hearings for RFK, Kash Patel, Tulsi Gabbard, Russ Vought, and Doug Bergum, tax cuts for the wealthy, Trump's gutting of the FBI's Cyber investigation department, and the FCC's targeting of PBS and NPR, before expanding on the Trump Administration's failures in the lead-up to, and response to the recent aviation crash outside of Reagan Airport in DC. Ryan Grim then joins, briefly touching on some of the major reporting coming out of Drop Site News over the last few months – including a major report on Israel's US of an AI-weapons system to target Hamas leadership when home with their family – before he, Sam, and Emma dive deep into the recent hostile takeover by Elon Musk at the US Treasury, with the Treasury's place signing the checks that keep our government working central to Elon's first-order goals of personal enrichment and gutting the government – with the former particularly influential for an individual who makes most of his money off of federal contracts. After expanding on the latter with the Trump Administration's ongoing campaign to “traumatize” (per OMB head Russ Vought) federal workers, and the ultimate goal of the Administration to shift into an era of corporate governance, Ryan, Sam, and Emma look to the Trump Administration's attacks on DEI and DEIA, with Ryan addressing some of his recent comments on the failure of DEI to actually address issues of diversity, equity, and inclusion beyond shielding corporations from responsibility, before wrapping up the free half by touching on the threat of Trump's impending tariffs. And in the Fun Half: First, Sam and Emma unpack the Trump Administration's predictably insane and destructive response to the recent plane crash out of DC and plead with Democratic leadership to follow Gov. Pritzker's lead and act like an actual opposition party.

It's Casual Friday! Sam and Emma speak with Krystal Ball, co-host of Krystal, Kyle, & Friends and Breaking Points, to round up the week in news. First, Sam and Emma run through updates on Trump's assault on civil servants, his attempt to overturn birthright citizenship, the arrival of federal troops to the southern border, Trump's dangerous empowerment of ICE, the likely confirmation of Pete Hegseth, more Trump pardons, Meta's anti-abortion actions, Mike Johnson's request of Casey Hutchinson, and Trump's halting of police reform agreements, before expanding on the role of Trump's “Schedule F” attack on civil servants, and watching Jeff Merkley come right at Russ Vought for his desire to trap sick people in poverty. Krystal Ball then joins, diving right into Trump's clear and active effort to exercise his plan of maximalist lawlessness, with blanket pardons to violent January 6th rioters, blatantly unconstitutional acts like overturning birthright citizenship, and the launching of a shady cryptocurrency to hide backroom dealings. Expanding on this, Ball explores the particular role the Big Tech oligarchy plays in backing the Trump regime, with mass amounts of wealth stored in and funding the world of AI and cryptocurrency – two institutions whose primary uses are in bolstering and protecting exploitation – and why this political move by the industry is a necessity in an era where they are becoming more and more representative of the massive, unproductive hoards of wealth tied up among elite capitalists. After tackling the particular role the Democratic Party played in making this era of Big Money and Big Tech a bipartisan one, and how that, alongside the corporate capture of the media, has created an environment with utterly weakened opposition to fascism – with Dems having capitulated to the Trump worldview in the hopes of bringing about a kinder, gentler fascism – wrapping up with the need to stay clear about the anti-fascist and anti-oligarchy messaging, and the environmental, social, and economic impacts they create. Sam and Emma also touch on Trump's recent actions to overturn the federal pledge to not discriminate in federal contracts, and the snitch-order sent out over federal DEI practices. And in the Fun Half: Sam and Emma unpack the immediate impact of Trump's severe mass criminalization and threat of deportation of undocumented migrants, with farmers in the citrus and dairy industries seeing their workforce disappear overnight, before talking with Kieth from Chicago about Trump's NIH shutdown and the collective nature of science, and exploring Trump's crackdown on the administrative state with the perspective of USDA worker Leo from CA.

The Rich Zeoli Show- Full Episode (11/22/2024): 3:05pm- On Thursday, former Congressman Matt Gaetz announced he is withdrawing as Donald Trump's nominee to serve as U.S. Attorney General. According to reports, Gaetz concluded he had no pathway towards confirmation after meeting with Senators earlier in the week and determining that at least four—Susan Collins, Lisa Murkowski, Mitch McConnell, and John Curtis—would not support him. Republicans will hold a 53 to 47 advantage in the Senate, consequently cabinet nominees cannot afford to lose the support of more than four Republicans. Later that day, Trump selected former Attorney General of Florida Pam Bondi to serve as Attorney General of the United States. 3:15pm- The Police Report About Pete Hegseth's Alleged Sexual Assault Vindicates Him Of Criminality. Eddie Scarry of The Federalist writes: “What you're going to hear now and in the coming days from the national media is that there are “graphic” details in a police report related to an alleged sexual assault involving Pete Hegseth, President-elect Donald Trump's incoming nominee for Defense secretary. It's certainly graphic, but the media will bet you won't bother reading the report, which in reality looks really bad for the alleged victim and effectively clears Hegseth of criminality.” You can read the full article here: https://thefederalist.com/2024/11/21/the-police-report-about-pete-hegseths-alleged-sexual-assault-vindicates-him-of-criminality/ 3:30pm- Did Jaguar Just “Bud Light” Itself? In a newly released, 30-second advertisement luxury automaker Jaguar did not show a single car—but it did feature several androgynous models dressed in strange clothing. In response, many on social media called the commercial “woke.” 3:50pm- According to CBS News, Donald Trump is expected to select Russ Vought to serve as Director of the Office of Management and Budget.
