News Host Joy Reid Raises Threat of Trump Selling U.S. to Putin; Ten Days Later Her Show Is Cancelled

By Pam Martens and Russ Martens: February 24, 2025 ~ On Thursday, February 13, MSNBC’s Joy Reid, host of the news program, The ReidOut, said this on air: “If Donald Trump announced tomorrow that he was selling the United States to Vladimir Putin personally and that we will now be owned by the Kremlin, every single Republican [in Congress] would say, ‘Yes, sir,’ and vote for it.” Reid’s remark came during her interview with Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY), Minority Leader of the House of Representatives. Jeffries had just indicated that all it would take is three House Republicans to vote with Democrats in order to do the right thing for the American people they represent. You can watch the exchange here. Just five days before Reid’s staff learned that her show had been cancelled – by reading about it first in leaked media reports and then having the fact confirmed by management – Trump and … Continue reading →

Elon Musk’s DOGE Appears to Be Violating a Court Order; It Has Taken Down Hundreds of YouTube Videos that Educate Americans on How to Avoid Being Swindled

By Pam Martens and Russ Martens: February 21, 2025 ~ Donald Trump loyalists, including Elon Musk and his “Muskrats,” (coders and techies that are loyal to Musk) have launched an unconstitutional reign of terror through federal agencies that are critical to the safety and security of Americans. Musk is the world’s wealthiest man, and foreign born, with a dubious history when it comes to following U.S. laws. Musk previously battled in court to obtain a $56 billion pay package at Tesla. (That’s billion not million.) Tesla is a publicly-traded company and Musk is its CEO – meaning that under law he owes an oath of loyalty to the company and its shareholders. Notwithstanding that law, Musk simultaneously serves as CEO of rocket and satellite company, SpaceX, and controls numerous other companies, including the social media platform, Twitter, which Musk has renamed “X.” In January and February of last year, Musk was profiled in two bombshell Wall Street Journal … Continue reading →

Barron’s Releases Audio of Jamie Dimon Cursing Out His Workers at a Town Hall, as Dimon Plans to Dump Another One Million JPM Shares

By Pam Martens and Russ Martens: February 19, 2025 ~ Something is seriously wrong in the House of Dimon – also known as JPMorgan Chase, the largest bank in the United States. Barron’s, part of the Dow Jones Company that publishes the Wall Street Journal, has released an audio of the Chairman and CEO of JPMorgan Chase, Jamie Dimon, dropping F-bombs in a profanity-laced tirade during a Town Hall with his employees last Wednesday. We carefully transcribed a portion of that audio. Dimon said this: “We also had—and you know I’m right about this one—a lot of you on the f***ing Zoom and you were doing the following, okay: looking at your mail; sending texts to each other about what an a**hole the other person is, okay; not paying attention; not reading your stuff, you know. And if you don’t think that slows down efficiency, creativity, creates rudeness — it does. Okay.” Apparently, … Continue reading →

There’s One Federal Investigative Agency that Neither Trump nor Elon Musk Can Touch: It Just Opened an Investigation into DOGE

By Pam Martens and Russ Martens: February 18, 2025 ~ The Government Accountability Office (GAO) turned 100 years old in 2021. For more than a century it has been doing the work that Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) has been pretending to do, that is, competently root out fraud, waste and abuse in federal government programs without leaving a dangerous trail of chaos that threatens national security, personal privacy and the U.S. Constitution. If Elon Musk is sincerely interested in efficiency and government savings, why is he duplicating the work of the non-partisan GAO – while doing it in a grossly subpar and deeply conflicted manner? Thanks to two sitting U.S. Senators, the American people are going to get an investigation by the GAO into exactly what went down when DOGE accessed the U.S. Treasury’s payment system and gained access to highly confidential records of private American citizens. (Yesterday, the Associated … Continue reading →
