The Trump administration has launched an FBI investigation into a $20 billion grant program for clean energy projects established under the Biden administration. These funds, managed by the EPA, were intended to support climate initiatives, particularly in low-income communities.

With this new reporting portal, they’re essentially deputizing parents and teachers to surveil their own schools, echoing the fear-driven tactics of McCarthyism.

Today, a reporter from the Russian state news agency TASS gained unauthorized access to the Oval Office. How does one gain unauthorized access to the Oval Office? Meanwhile, AP and Reuters were blocked.

This would also have a chilling effect on tax compliance. Many undocumented immigrants pay taxes using Individual Taxpayer Identification Numbers (ITINs). If their tax data were used against them, it could discourage compliance, reducing tax revenues and driving more people to work off the books.

The Trump administration is demanding the home addresses of 700,000 people suspected of being in the country illegally from the IRS. The IRS is resisting this request, as complying would directly violate federal tax privacy laws.

If the IRS were forced to disclose taxpayer information in violation of Section 6103 of the Internal Revenue Code, it would set a dangerous precedent that could, in theory, be used to justify the release of anyone’s tax records—including those of high-profile individuals like Musk and Trump.

Additionally, the FBI returned at least some of the materials it seized from Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago residence and private club during a court-authorized search in August 2022.

We just received word that the DOJ has begun removing data detailing criminal charges and convictions related to Trump loyalists. This started with records from the January 6th insurrection, but additional records are now being erased. We will keep you updated once we have more info.
