#Trump referred to a “partnership” between #Venezuela & the #UnitedStates, which he said would make Venezuelans “rich, independent & safe.” Of course, this was a partnership accomplished by a #GovernmentOverthrow.
BTWs Trump’s asides about #DC, #NOLA, & #LA are total bullshit. No murder in NOLA & DC since his illegal intervention? Flat out lies.

"Very very important read. A startup backed by the paypal mafia and the Kushner is set to get a contract to privatize the entire internal govt credit card system. No compete sweetheart deal. Justified by bogus claims abt fraud. Pure corruption."

A little-known firm with investors linked to JD Vance, Elon Musk and Trump could get a piece of the federal expense card system — and its hundreds of millions in fees. “This goes against all the normal contracting safeguards,” one expert said.
The new *authority* [overthrown] follows a standoff this week with a top #Treasury ofcl who had resisted allowing #ElonMusk’s lieutenants into the department’s payment system, which sends out #money on behalf of the entire #federal #government. The ofcl, a career #CivilServant named #DavidLebryk 🦸🏻♂️, was put on leave & then suddenly retired [was #fired] on Friday after the dispute….

#Trump #Treasury Secy #ScottlBessent gave reps of the so-called Department of Government Efficiency full access to the federal payment system late on Fri, acc/to 3 people…, handing #ElonMusk & the team he is leading a powerful tool to monitor & potentially limit government #money.

And it’s done . . .
#ElonMusk’s team has gotten access to the most sensitive #Treasury Department’s payments system.
The system could give #Trump another mechanism to attempt to unilaterally restrict disbursement of #money approved for specific purposes by Congress, a push that has faced legal roadblocks.

President Donald Trump has fired the director of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, Rohit Chopra, in the latest purge of a Biden administration holdover. Chopra was one of the more important regulators from the previous Democratic administration who was still on the job since Trump took office on Jan. 20. Chopra's tenure saw the removal of medical debt from credit reports and limits on overdrafts penalties. But many in the financial industry saw his actions as regulatory overreach. In a social media post Saturday about his departure, Chopra thanked people across the country who “shared their ideas and experiences” with the government’s consumer financial watchdog agency.
