"Influencer" is such a strange, misleading word. I prefer the old-fashioned word for the same thing: shill.

The top watchdogs for the Central Intelligence Agency and Office of the Director of National Intelligence are leaving their roles in the wake of former President Donald Trump’s re-election, sources tell the Project On Government Oversight (POGO) and their agencies confirm.

MSNBC (yeah, I know)

Frank Figliuzzi:
Biden should order background checks of Trump’s Cabinet picks

Whether you’re Republican, Democrat or independent, and regardless of whether you’re energized or enraged by Trump’s controversial picks, you should be concerned about the possibility of a vetting process that’s really no process at all.

Trump’s FCC chair is Brendan Carr, who wants to regulate everyone except ISPs

Carr, who wrote a chapter about the FCC for the conservative Heritage Foundation's Project 2025, is a longtime opponent of net neutrality rules and other regulations imposed on Internet service providers.

Most of us know that FDR ordered 112,000 Japanese-Americans rounded up during WW2 into internment camps. They had done nothing wrong other than they were Japanese. They lost their liberties and their properties. George Takei is a survivor and often speaks about it. (3/x)

Just before the election DoT received a pile of FOIA requests asking that emails and text messages pertaining to Elon Musk be turned over.

One group is the Heritage Foundation Oversight Project, another is the America First Policy Institute, with close ties to Trump’s transition team and there are more, all with the intention of rooting out anyone suspected of not being sufficiently loyal to Trump. They are looking at whether employees have ever donated to Democrats, written anything critical on social media or claimed that they have done something suspicious such as “helped immigrants who arrived in the US seeking legal status.”

Trump is going to declare a National Emergency so the military can come to your home and check your immigration status without a warrant.

Make sure you have a valid birth certificate, social security card, state ID etc. This will be important especially if you have a parent who was an immigrant (like my Mom) & or have a Hispanic last name.

Women make sure you know where your marriage certificates, death certificates, divorce papers are as proof of change to maiden name.
