Anybody else see the "Maralago Accords " as extortion on a global scale??
*in a NY mafioso accent:
"Oh, ya wanna do bidness with the US?? You're gonna need to pay for protection"
Judge Amy Berman Jackson in the National #Treasury Employees v. #RussVought (acting director of CFPB) ruled that the attempt to dismantle #CFPB is likely unlawful, & the recent claims by the #Trump admin that the agency was still performing its statutorily mandated duties was "nothing more than window dressing."
As such she ordered a preliminary injunction.

![In sum, the Court cannot look away or the CFPB will be dissolved and dismantled completely in approximately thirty days, well before this lawsuit has come to its conclusion. For all of the reasons set forth above, the Court will GRANT [Dkt. # 10] plaintiffs' motion and issue a preliminary injunction that maintains the agency's existence until this case has been resolved on the merits, reinstating and preserving the agency's contracts, work force, data, and operational capacity, and protecting and facilitating the employees' ability to perform statutorily required activities. The Court is aware of the modifications the plaintiffs have made to their proposed order, as well as the objections lodged by the defendants to previous iterations of the proposed order, and it is mindful that its order must be sufficiently specific to be enforceable, while also broad enough to afford the agency and its leadership the discretion they are accorded under the statute when carrying out their regulatory, enforcement, and supervisory responsibilities.](https://s3.masto.ai/media_attachments/files/114/242/098/939/614/022/original/6844bc004d4f87fa.png "In sum, the Court cannot look away or the CFPB will be dissolved and dismantled completely in approximately thirty days, well before this lawsuit has come to its conclusion.

#Treasury Secy #ScottBessent has been spearheading negotiations on the mineral deal. In an interview…, he said the #US had "passed along a completed document for the economic partnership….”
#Trump has said a #minerals deal will help secure a peace agreement by giving the United States a financial stake in Ukraine's future. He also sees it as America's way of earning back…[the #aid] it has given to #Ukraine…. Most of the aid funds were spent in the US.

Inside DOGE’s Plan to Invade the Treasury—and Throttle USAID
Court filings show that from the earliest days of the 2nd #Trump administration, Elon Musk’s DOGE had a plan to infiltrate US Treasury payment systems—and turn them against USAID.
https://www.wired.com/story/elon-musk-doge-plan-treasury-usaid/
"reveal the extent of #DOGE penetration into the most sensitive systems at the #Treasury...
this access was in service of the admn’s plans to target #USAID."
"Treasury Department is set to lay off a ‘substantial’ number of employees, official says.'
“These plans will be tailored for each bureau, and in many cases will require separations of substantial numbers of employees through reductions in force (RIFs).'
The federal govt is being ransacked for #privatization. If Musk's DOGE isn't stopped soon, the damage may be permanent.

"I hate #vibes-based reasoning, because of the kind of thinking that it elevates. It elevates the comms spad over the #macroeconomist, the reader-of-headlines over the #modeller, the use of a finger in the air over a solid think about the vast, hard-to-move #economy."
