House Republicans are moving quickly to get a massive tax-and-spending package across the finish line before week's end even as they negotiate with party factions over outstanding concerns. Some Republicans are demanding deeper cuts to social programs like Medicaid to curb deficits as part of the deal and to reduce the package's cost to extend the 2017 tax overhaul. And yet the bill increases the debt limit by $4 trillion and adds billions in spending. Cut out of the process, Democrats oppose the proposal, and even some Republicans have objected to its size and scope. Regardless of where lawmakers fall on the political spectrum, they all seem to agree on one data source: What the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget has to say about the package and what it will do to the national deficit, which now stands at over $36 trillion. On this episode of Talking Tax, Bloomberg Tax reporter Chris Cioffi talks with Maya MacGuineas, longtime president of the nonprofit public policy group, and digs into why the growing debt can be problematic for future economic growth.

Today on Watchdog on Wall Street, Chris Markowski exposes the media's long-running coverups, from Hunter Biden's laptop to Joe Biden's mental fitness—and how it all shaped the 2024 election.

Chris dives into the real backstory, citing Holman Jenkins' sharp analysis and questioning why the press continues to lie without consequence.He also breaks down:How elite status games shape modern journalismThe CIA's role in the laptop narrativeWhy Jake Tapper's book is too little, too lateThe continuous failure of accountability in media and governmentThis isn't a conspiracy—it's a reckoning.

The Government Accountability Office blocked an attempt by Elon Musk's DOGE to install a team at the congressional watchdog, according to a spokesperson for the independent, nonpartisan agency and an email shared with FedScoop. The spokesperson said that DOGE staffers who attempted to establish a team at the watchdog cited President Donald Trump's executive order creating the efficiency-driven group within the White House. The spokesperson further confirmed that the agency had “declined any requests to have a DOGE team assigned to GAO.” The watchdog also sent an email to its staff Friday about the attempt and its response, a GAO source confirmed. According to the text of that email shared with FedScoop, GAO said it sent a letter to DOGE's acting administrator “stating that GAO is a legislative branch agency that conducts work for Congress. As such, we are not subject to DOGE or Executive Orders.” A top Senate Intelligence Democrat is warning the Office of Personnel Management against cancelling identity protection services that have been provided to current and former federal employees since their data was exposed in the massive 2015 OPM data breach. In a letter sent Friday to OPM acting Director Charles Ezell, Sen. Mark Warner, D-Va., expressed concerns about Department of Government Efficiency-instituted cuts to the personnel agency and plans that it may have to “curtail identity theft monitoring for millions of public servants and their families whose information was compromised in 2015.” The breach of OPM servers by Chinese-backed hackers rocked Washington and the federal workforce a decade ago, as the Social Security numbers, birthdates, addresses and other personal information of more than 21 million individuals were exposed. At the time, Warner, his Virginia Senate colleague Tim Kaine and then-Sens. Ben Cardin and Barbara Mikulski of Maryland co-sponsored the RECOVER Act to provide identity protection services to those impacted by the OPM breach. Congress appropriated funds for those services “for a period of not less than 10 years.” The Daily Scoop Podcast is available every Monday-Friday afternoon.

News around public lands these days seems to revolve entirely around the Trump administration. In the case of Public Employees for Environmental Responsibility, many of the steps the administration is taking with the operational efficiencies of the National Park Service and other land management agencies certainly are keeping PEER busy.   But what exactly is PEER, and what is their mission? For as long as the National Parks Traveler has been in existence, going back 20 years, stories recounting PEER and its lawsuits against land-management agencies have appeared frequently in our coverage. To explain the nonprofit organization's role, our guest today is Tim Whitehouse, PEER's executive director. 

The National Labor Relations Board's inspector general is conducting an investigation into the Department of Government Efficiency's work at the agency. In April, an IT staffer named Daniel Berulis filed an official whistleblower disclosure with Congress highlighting concerns over DOGE's practices at the NLRB and data that may have been removed from the agency. In response to the disclosure, Rep. Gerry Connolly, D-Va., ranking member of the House Oversight Committee, requested an investigation in a letter to Luiz A. Santos, acting inspector general of the Labor Department, and Ruth Blevins, inspector general at the NLRB. Timothy Bearese, an attorney at the NLRB currently serving as its acting director of congressional and public affairs, told FedScoop that the agency has no comment but “can confirm that the OIG is conducting an investigation, as requested by Ranking Member Connolly.” Back In April, Bearese told NPR that the NLRB had not granted DOGE access to agency systems. At that time, he also said that there had been a past investigation based on Berulis' concerns that “determined that no breach of agency systems occurred.” A spokesperson for House Oversight Committee Democrats told FedScoop on Thursday that “there are multiple investigations into Elon Musk's violations of sensitive investigatory information at the NLRB.” House Oversight Democrats are asking a Treasury Department watchdog to open an investigation into DOGE's data and IT modernization dealings at the IRS following reports of an internal “hackathon” at the tax agency that may have involved Palantir. In a letter sent Thursday to Heather Hill, acting head of the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration, House Oversight ranking member Gerry Connolly, D-Va., cited “deep concern” over reporting in Wired last month that revealed plans for a 30-day sprint where DOGE engineers and a third-party vendor — potentially the data analytics giant Palantir — would create a new application programming interface connected to taxpayer data. That API, Wired reported, would essentially serve as a storage center for all IRS data and enable agency systems to interact with unknown cloud services. Building a “mega API” is likely connected to plans for a “master database” that also pulls in data from the Department of Homeland Security and the Social Security Administration, according to Wired, part of a Trump administration effort to track and surveil immigrants. “The reported data centralization and integration effort could undermine intentional compartmentalization of IRS systems,” which raises “serious privacy questions,” Connolly wrote.

Na zewnątrz wszystko wydaje się w porządku. Nikt nikogo nie wtrąca do więzień. Ludzie się bogacą. Na ulicach pokój. A jednak pod powierzchnią coś jest nie tak. Niektórzy piszą o tym zjawisku "cyfrowy populizm". Oczko wyżej są "Spin dyktatorzy". A na szczycie "Koncern autokracja". To wbrew pozorom jak najbardziej temat technologiczny, bo to właśnie serwisy społecznościowe, AI i technologie nadzoru wykorzystywane są do wpływania na opinie społeczne. A to ważne - zwłaszcza przed wyborami. Dlatego w tym, drugim odcinku naszego minicyklu o kampaniach wpływu, dalej sprawdzamy, jak próbowano osłabić demokrację, państwowość i wybory w Mołdawii i Rumunii. A przede wszystkim: czy zaobserwowane tam metody można zastosować także w Polsce.

In this powerful and deeply emotional episode, MintPress News Director Mnar Adley sits down with American ICU nurse Wally Massay, who has just returned from Gaza after volunteering on the front lines of Israel's war on the civilian population. Having worked in some of Gaza's most devastated medical facilities—including Al-Aqsa, Nasser, and Indonesia hospitals—Massay offers a chilling firsthand account of the deliberate targeting of health workers, the systematic destruction of hospitals, and the devastating toll on Palestinian children.Massay shares how Gaza's hospitals function under siege: with no real shifts, medical professionals work 24/7 under the constant sound of crying children and explosions. According to Massay, the injuries he treated—many gunshot wounds to the head, chest, and groin of young boys—were too precise to be anything but intentional. “Their reproductive organs were completely dismantled and destroyed,” he tells Adley, calling it “ethnic cleansing at its worst.”The interview also addresses the Israeli military's targeting and imprisonment of doctors, including the death of Dr. Adnan al-Bursh under alleged torture in Israeli custody. Since October 7, 2023, over 1,150 health workers in Gaza have been killed, among them 165 doctors and 260 nurses. According to the World Health Organization, Israel has damaged or destroyed 33 out of Gaza's 36 hospitals.Massay's reflections are not just professional—they're personal. He speaks with anguish about the U.S. government's unwavering support for Israel's actions, including billions in aid and military assistance. "Looking into the eyes of a Palestinian child," he says, "it is a terrible feeling to know that my money and my taxes just killed you."This exclusive interview is a rare and urgent testimony from someone who witnessed the atrocities firsthand. It challenges listeners to confront the human cost of political choices and the moral consequences of silence.Trigger warning: This episode contains graphic descriptions of violence against civilians and children.

Morning Show 05-01-25 Hour 1 News stories, movies, Waterfront Hall by The Watchdog

This episode looks at On the Waterfront, the celebrated 1954 American film directed by Elia Kazan and written by Budd Schulberg. The film stars Marlon Brando as the ex-prize fighter turned New Jersey longshoreman Terry Malloy. Malloy struggles to stand up to mob-affiliated union boss Johnny Friendly (Lee J. Cobb) after Malloy is lured into setting up a fellow dockworker whom Friendly has murdered to prevent him from testifying before the Waterfront Crime Commission about violence and corruption at the docks. The pressure on Malloy rises as he falls in love with Edie Doyle (Eva Marie Saint), the murdered dockworker's sister, and as Edie, along with local priest Father Pete Barry (Karl Malden), urge Malloy to do the right thing. Malloy ultimately testifies against Friendly and challenges Friendly's leadership at great personal risk. While the film is about a courageous fight against a corrupt power structure and injustice, it is also influenced by director Elia Kazan's own controversial decision to act as an informant against fellow directors, writers, and actors during the McCarthy-era Red Scare.Timestamps:0:00     Introduction2:20      Corruption on the docks9:18       Boxing: I could have been a contender17:07     The priest on the waterfront23:44    Testifying before waterfront crime commission32:10     Informants34:48    Elia Kazan and the House Un-American Activities Committee47:04    The film's relevance today48:39    Some people who stood up to HUAC50:40   Separating the art and the artistFurther reading:Demeri, Michelle J., “The ‘Watchdog' Agency: Fighting Organized Crime on the Waterfront in New York and New Jersey,” 38 New Eng.

"Demokracja umiera w ciemności" - takie motto przyjęła amerykańska gazeta "The Washington Post". Ta sama, która dziś należy do Jeffa Bezosa. Ale to hasło może być już nieaktualne, bo demokracja poddawana jest torturom każdego dnia na naszych oczach. Dzieje się to w świetle algorytmów i przy ogromnym wsparciu aktorów zewnętrznych, którzy wykorzystują polaryzację społeczną i wszystkie problemy państwa na ich niekorzyść. Rosja ma szczególne doświadczenie w wykorzystywaniu procesów demokratycznych przeciwko demokracjom. Kupowanie głosów, dezinformacja wyborcza, zwożenie głosujących autobusami, a teraz do tego arsenału być może dochodzi "porywanie" algorytmów. Jak można "porwać" algorytm, wpędzić państwo w kryzys i ukraść wybory? Pokazujemy w specjalnej, reportażowej, wyjazdowej i analitycznej miniserii na przykładzie państw z Europy Środkowo-Wschodniej. W odcinku pierwszym skupimy się na państwach, które były ostatnio laboratoriami operacji cyfrowego wpływu. A w odcinku kolejnym zastanowimy się, jakie wnioski powinna wyciągnąć Polska przed swoimi wyborami oraz nad tym, czy dalej żyjemy w demokracji, czy już w demokraturze.
