Larry Ellison’s Oracle Among Controlling Investors In TikTok Deal, Report Says President Donald Trump signaled earlier, “We’ve got a deal on TikTok.”

TikTok will officially become a surveillance tool for the Trump regime and its billionaire backers.

Larry Ellison helped build the detention and surveillance state in China via his company—Oracle—and now he’ll do it here.

Spread the news, tell your friends, and encourage everyone to delete TikTok.

H.R. 4922
DC Criminal Reforms to Immediately Make
Everyone Safer (DC CRIMES) Act
This bill seeks to prohibit the D.C. Council from pursuing so-called "soft-on-crime' sentencing policy by:
• lowering the definition of "youth" from 25 to 18
• removing below mandatory minimum sentencing for youth offenders
• establishing a public website containing stats on juvenile crime
This means incarcerating young people for longer and subjecting them to public surveillance.

H.R. 5143
District of Columbia Policing Protection Act
This bill would amend current DC law to allow vehicular pursuit of a suspect fleeing in a vehicle, which was previously restricted.
Now, police officers can determine when to use a vehicle to pursue a fleeing suspect, regardless of offense or level of danger.
Vehicular pursuits are an immediate danger to everyone, including innocent bystanders.
This rollback of D.C. Law would only serve to bolster police aggression and lack of accountability.

🚨URGENT ACTION 🚨 Call your reps and let them know to oppose the four bills being passed under Trump’s efforts to make DC “safe and beautiful” aka use Home Rule to abuse the rights of the constituents.

Public Comment Toolkit
The Trump Administration issued a new policy that would make it easy to
fire hundreds of thousands of federal employees and replace them with political loyalists. This would make it easier to weaken our national security and
dismantle the medical and Social Security benefits, clean water and safety
regulations that took America out of the 1800s. We can stop them.
Use this guide to submit a comment by May 23
How: Trump’s Office of Personnel Management is required to solicit public comments
before the policy takes effect. OPM must review the public comments and respond to significant
comments
2. If OPM does not follow these steps, federal courts can stop the policy. Commenting
is your opportunity to make your voice heard and fight against this dangerous policy before it
harms millions of Americans.
Comments helped fight previous policies and can do so again: For example, Health and
Human Services proposed reducing certain Medicare reimbursements for health care
providers. Commenters pointed out errors with the studies cited by HHS. A court struck down
the HHS rule because of the issues pointed out by comments.
3. What the policy does
Removes civil-service protections from a
new category of federal employees called
Schedule Policy/Career.
P/C employees become at-will workers.
They lose their right to challenge
terminations or appeal reclassification to the
Merit Systems Protection Board.
Allows agencies to identify and recommend
"policy-influencing" roles into Schedule P/C.
Gives the President sole authority to
reclassify federal employees as P/C and
removes their ability to challenge
reclassification. Why it matters. Makes mass firings between administrations
more likely, which weakens government
expertise and efficiency.
Politicizing government functions weakens
continuity and the delivery of public services.
The policy will remove safeguards for those
refusing to break the law in favor of partisan
outcomes.

“Most Americans oppose Trump’s immigration policies — Trump's handling of immigration drops underwater after Democrats fight back against ICE overreach and violations of civil liberties.”

Peace Corps to undergo ‘significant’ cuts after Doge review Staff offered second ‘fork in the road’ buyout and are ‘strongly encouraged to consider this option’ The Peace Corps is offering staff a second “fork in the road” buyout, according to a source familiar with the matter. Allison Greene, the chief executive of Peace Corps, sent an email to staff on Monday with an update about the “department of government efficiency” (Doge) assessment of the agency. Greene said to expect “significant restructuring efforts” at Peace Corps headquarters, according to the email seen by the Guardian. Starting on 28 April and going through 6 May, direct hire and expert staff are being offered a second deferred resignation program, what Elon Musk’s Doge has referred to as a “fork in the road” buyout. Greene referred to this offer as “DRP 2.0”. Continue reading...

If you are a federal worker being offered a buyout, I would advise against taking it.

Of course, this is a personal decision for everyone and it’s your choice.

But these offers are a rush job. The legality is questionable and this admin does not keep to its word.

They aren’t firing for a reason.
