Trump Bypassing FBI for Background Checks

“President-elect Donald Trump’s transition team is bypassing traditional FBI background checks for at least some of his Cabinet picks while using private companies to conduct vetting of potential candidates for administration jobs, people close to the transition planning say,” CNN reports.

For some reason people fleeing the sinking #Twitter / #X ship for #BlueSky don't seem to be aware of the fact that crypto bros at #BlockchainCapital bought a huge stake in the company just a few weeks ago. Like these are basically the same crypto bros who just helped #ElonMusk buy Twitter. They might even be literally the same people (I strongly suspect they are but I'm too lazy to check). Either way #BlockchainCapital was co-founded by #BrockPierce, who also brought you #Tether, AKA the company that Trump's transition team chairman manages $120 billion for. Pierce is also a friend of the #Netanyahu family.

You don't have to take my word for it. Here's the official press release: bsky.social/about/blog/10-24-2…

Moving to BlueSky is not an escape. Growing a base there is just putting in a bunch of work to create a platform that will be co-opted by crypto bros as soon as X breaks in half.

Chinese cyber spies infiltrated US network operators. Conversations and data from government and politicians were intercepted, as were police wiretaps.

"Ah yes, Twitter—or X. Whatever you call it, the social media site was Musk’s primary tool to elect Trump. In Bloomberg’s Tech Daily newsletter for November 7, Kurt Wagner writes that Musk “turned his feed into a Trump-inspired billboard for his more than 200 million followers,” that it “became a major source of anti-immigrant conspiracy theories,” that Musk “re-shared posts from the former president’s supporters, not all of them accurate,” and that Musk turned X into “a much more powerful version of Truth Social.”"

NEW: What to Expect From #ProPublica in a Second #Trump Administration
==

Our job is to give readers an independent, verifiable account of what’s happening, even if the #president is calling us enemies of the people or bloodsuckers.

Some media outlets capitulated to Donald Trump before a single vote was cast. Some are already explaining how they plan to hold his incoming administration accountable. Here's @ProPublica's breakdown of what to expect from them. "In the 21st century, 'without fear or favor' means maintaining a fact-based, data-driven approach to journalism," writes Stephen Engelberg. "Our job is to give readers an independent, verifiable account of what’s happening, even if the president is calling us enemies of the people or bloodsuckers. At ProPublica, our mantra is that we bring the receipts to every story we publish."

Every week, we promote independent publishers who have their own presence in the fediverse via our #NewstodonFriday thread. Tell us in the comments if there's a media outlet you love that we might not have heard of.

Trump 2024: anatomie d’un triomphe électoral

#DonaldTrump a profité d’un vote sanction contre les démocrates. Il progresse partout dans le pays, et singulièrement dans l’électorat hispanique. En face, #KamalaHarris n’a pas su mobiliser suffisamment sa base, chez les femmes et les minorités.

Since young voters overwhelmingly support Democrats, high youth turnout in Nevada could be even more bad news for Republicans on a day when there is already a sense of panic growing around the GOP as more Democrats than they expected are voting on election day and Republicans aren’t getting the turnout that they anticipated so far.

As she calls for a media reckoning, Parker Molloy speaks truth that will resonate with a lot of us, I suspect:

"For years, major news outlets have twisted themselves into knots trying to appease critics on the right. In the process, they've alienated not just the left but anyone who cares about honest, fearless journalism."

La #démocratie à l’épreuve aux #Etatsunis
La présence de #DonaldTrump sur les bulletins de vote, quatre ans après la négation de sa défaite à l’élection de 2020 et sa tentative de coup de force, témoigne de la faiblesse du Parti républicain face à l’ancien président, et de l’affaissement de pans entiers du système politique américain. #KamalaHarris

The historically most accurate pollster in the United States is Ann Selzer. She only does polls in one state - Iowa, typically a very Republican state. For the last two elections her polls were outliers that turned out to be correct, showing that Trump's support was far stronger than expected in 2016 and Biden wasn't going to run away with it in 2020.

She just put out her final poll of the election showing Kamala Harris up by 3 points... in Iowa.

Gabriel Sterling: "Federal authorities have officially found that the fake video of Haitians voting in Georgia, multiple times, with fake IDs in Fulton and Gwinnett Counties is a Russian disinformation operation. Anyone sharing it now knows this."
