“Vought is undoing years of painstaking, bipartisan work in order to prop up #data brokers’ predatory, & profitable, #surveillance of Americans” -S Vitka, exec dir of Demand Progress -nonprofit that supported the rule.

“By withdrawing the CFPB’s data broker rulemaking, the🚨Trump admin is ensuring that Americans will continue to be bombarded by scam texts, calls & emails, & that MIL members & their families can be targeted by spies & blackmailers.”

WIRED · CFPB Quietly Kills Rule to Shield Americans From Data BrokersBy Dell Cameron

#SSA: some employees are running out of paper, pens & printer toner bc #DOGE has placed a $1 spending limit on govt-issued credit cards.

#EPA: research at 11 labs has ground to a halt bc the Trump admin hasn't approved most new lab purchases.

#NOAA: key work on weather forecasting has slowed to a crawl bc COMM Sec Lutnick must sign off personally on many contracts & grants.

🚨Fed agencies: are FAILING. The #TrumpRegime is using #sabotage.

The Washington Post · The hidden ways Trump, DOGE are shutting down parts of the U.S. governmentBy Hannah Natanson

I’ve been complaining about corporations that have made it so difficult to spend money there that I’m convinced that they hate their customers and I will no longer give them my money.

And then today it occurred to me that maybe their employees are engaging in some #sabotage, not of the customers but of their horrible bosses.

I’m delighted by this. I’m not mad at the AAA customer service representative who was trolling me the other day. Well done Jane! You sabotage triple AAA without sabotaging your job. 5 stars, no notes!!

I am tickled by this. Sure I was frustrated for a little bit, but now I am saving money by never paying for AAA again. And if “Jane” did it on purpose 🎊🎈👏🏻👏🏻🎉

The NPCA has calculated the Trump admin’s proposed🚨cuts to the National Park Service budget could result in >75% reduction to the #NPS. With 433 national park units across the country, that'd essentially wipe out budgets & staffing for at least 350 national park units.

The admin’s recently released budget proposal calls for a cut of >$1B to the NPS -includes a $900M cut to the ops of our national parks...

National Parks Conservation AssociationPresident Trump’s Proposed Budget Could Decimate At Least 350 National Park Sites“The president’s proposed budget plan is beyond extreme. It is catastrophic. If enacted by Congress, our national park system would be completely decimated." - Theresa Pierno, NPCA's President and CEO

HJC Dems launch probe of Trump Admin's stripping of💰from 100s of programs for crime victims & comm safety.

Dems have asked the #DOJ to detail if any of the cuts were directed by #DOGE +Q'ed whether more grant cuts: planned.

In a letter sent Mon to AG Bondi: "The Dept's notifications to grantees -fail to provide awardees with any explanation as to why their awards conflict with or don't serve the DOJ's priorities -details as to how: term decisions made."

The new US ally, Russia-
"Bezrukavyi’s arrest was part of a Polish-led operation targeting a suspected Russian-backed criminal network. The cell is accused of sending parcels containing camouflaged explosives on cargo planes across Europe, triggering fires at three locations.
...a major escalation of a sabotage campaign that western security officials believe Moscow has unleashed over the past three years across Europe."

The Guardian · Explosive sex toys and cosmetics: the story behind the DHL parcels plotBy Pjotr Sauer

Spain: the cable theft that caused chaos to high-speed rail services between Madrid and Seville was an ‘act of sabotage’, says minister.

In a radio interview, Spain’s transport minister Óscar Puente said the network appeared to have been deliberately targeted.

“This is a low-value theft. Whoever did it knew what they were doing because there were no cameras and the financial gain is absolutely negligible compared to the enormous damage.”

UK police arrest Iranians in terrorism probes.

Five men, four of whom are Iranian nationals, were arrested on Saturday as part of an investigation into a plot to “target specific premises,” the Metropolitan Police said in a statement.

Last year, the head of the UK’s MI5 security service said that Iran and Russia are behind a “staggering rise” in attempts at assassination, sabotage and other crimes in Britain.
