new Trump crime family crypto SPAC is called "Renatus Tactical Acquisition Corp I" and is registered in the Cayman Islands because "America First".

(by "Trump crime family" I don't mean like, Trump's kids. the people involved here are Devin Nunes (CEO of Truth Social) and some guys from the original DWAC SPAC that gave us #DJT.

also a reminder that #TruthSocial had already announced it would be using its capital to "invest" in #cryptocurrency a few months ago.

Days after a female #Justice won a hotly contested seat on #Wisconsin high court, another so-called "conservative" justice relinquishes law license for 3 yr suspension, and loses judicial seat in discipline after admitting he violated state court #ethics laws in capricious and dishonest 2020 #GOP #ElectionDenier attempt to certify #DJT as winner of state.

"By 'built in America', I mean 'developed in collaboration w/a Chinese national who was indicted for fraud' (#JustinSun) and then deployed on the Chinese blockchain run by the Chinese company that got hit with a $4.3 billion fine for laundering money for criminals, terrorists, and rogue nuclear states (#Binance) right before that company's CEO was sent to prison".

Hard not to think that #WorldLibertyFinancial's #USD1 is a Chinese enterprise.

Trump Media (AKA "#TruthSocial") signs agreement to partner with #CryptoDotCom and launch ETFs.

(note that i'm having a bit of trouble confirming this, though I don't doubt it at all.)

I'm reminded of a tweet by #Tether CEO #PaoloArdoino a few years ago attacking #CryptoCom as being out of money and about to collapse, but either way CDC used to be and probably still is part of the Tether cartel with #JustinSun etc.

Mass #Layoffs expected to begn dropping at Linda McMahon’s 'Dept of #Edu in DC this evening as #DJT & #DOGE minions closed HQ to nitpick through lists of thousands of targetable #PublicServants whose only crimes are applying to work in service of the nation. Employees were told to clear out by 6 p.m. on Tuesday ahead of building closure tomorrow as #reductionOfForce notices will drop. There are roughly 4,200 #Education Department employees nationwide and approx half were laid off. The #GOP and Rep Dan Crenshaw scheduled a #DeTrans Awareness Day for Weds as well for those in Dept of Edu and others who wish to celebrate the crippling of the govt #beltway #bureaucracy in other more vindictive ways.

Rep. Dan Crenshaw and the Dept. of Education are leading the charge.
The HandbasketGOP will observe “DeTrans Awareness Day” with multiple events WednesdayRep. Dan Crenshaw and the Dept. of Education are leading the charge.

#Trump on #Fox interviews last week end was asked about balancing the budget with #DOGE , he answered:

“We’re going to have growth like you’ve never seen before. You said that we’re going to have growth. I’m not going to touch Social Securities,, Medicare, Medicaid. No. We’re going to get fraud oit of there. You see where I talk about it all the time, where we have people 250 years old and all tremendous fraud, but that has nothing with that. We’re going to get the fraud out and eveybody wants us to get the fraud out and therefore y’ll make it better.”

When he was asked about the possibility of a recession due to his tarrifs, the #TangerineBaby answered:

“I hate to predict things like that. There is a period of transition because what we’re doing is very big. We’re bringing wealth back to America. That’s a big thing, and there are always periods of it tqkes a little time. It takes a little time, but I think it should be great for us. I mean, it should be great.”

As to his relationship with Putin and that his actions against #Ukraine , playing in the hands of #Russia, #tRump gets totally incoherent as he answers another question:

“Well I’ve been much tougher [on Russia than Hamas] … I think I’ve been very tough to Russia, tougher than enybody has ever been to Russia. If you think about it, first of all, we had the Russia, Russia, Russia hooks, which was a very bad thing. It could have led to a war, and that was started by Schiff and all of these low lives. I know it did total low lives, and it was a fake deal. The 51 intelligence agencies, I took all their passes away. They can’t participate anymore. These guys know it came from Hunter Bidden’s laptop from hell, which came from his bathroom and or his bedroom. Okay? Not a pretty sight.”

There have been countless incoherent verbiage communications from #Trump since his first term in office, and none of them anymore congent than the above. If these are not proof that #DJT is completely demented, then nothing will ever convince you that American voters have given the keys to their treasure and nuclear arsenal to an utter mad man.

CA #AttorneyGeneral updates taxpayers on recent legal challenges he has staff filing against #DJT #WreckingBall operations that are destroying lives of students at schools cut off from previously awarded grant money, as well as tens of thousands impacted as US govt workers are illegally terminated through no fault of their own. Their abrupt, pretextual firings have already caused a 149% increase in state #unemployment benefit claims by federal workers in #California alone.

CA's #DOJ secured two important preliminary #injunctions this week against the #WhiteHouse. One prevents the #Drumpf Admin from freezing near $3 trillion in vital federal #funding intended for public #safety, #healthcare, childcare, and #infrastructure projects before the case is heard.

See a list of recent actions of California Dept of Justice has taken to defend citizens from abuses of power, unwarranted persecution and firings by federal authorities, some are highlighted as news released at their official state website.

Much of Trump's failure to display any understanding of economics can be seen as the logical consequence of him believing that trade, economics, "deals" are a zero-sum game. It explains many of his actions.

For him to "win", the "other side" has to lose. There's no such thing as a transaction that both sides benefit from. So he hires a contractor, but then stiffs them on some or all of their invoices. etc, etc.

I actually think that he believes *everything* is a zero-sum game, not just commerce. It's a very pouty-5-year-old way of looking at the world.

#DJT signs order to dismantle civilian led #PresidioTrust in #SanFrancisco, a special district created by #NancyPelosi in the 1990s to manage the #NationalPark. The park site has not needed US #government tax funding as it generates own income from renting properties to housing tenants, #museums and non profits on a defunct military base.
