Lutnick:🚨the US govt must receive an equity stake in Intel in exchange for CHIPS Act funds. The potential deal would convert the grants into equity & wouldn’t come with governance rights in Intel. Trump's called for more reshoring of US MFG to reduce the country’s reliance on foreign chipmakers.

Trump has Comm Sec Lutnick extorting Intel for the money that came from Biden's CHIPS Act -creating a⬇️Maoist-type #economy.

@heidilifeldman A Congress free from crooks would already have initiated emergency impeachment procedures against the wholly brazenly, illegally, anti-constitutionally & traitorously & incessantly power-abusing Trump "administration" (furtherance) of criminal anti-American acts.

The Johnson gang's White House crime-tolerance is not only telling, it's incriminating.

#Trump issued a directive that would require #colleges & #universities to submit reams of new data on #students to check whether they are complying with a #SCOTUS decision that ended race-based #AffirmativeAction. The White House also intensified its campaign against #UCLA which it stripped of hundreds of millions in research funds over a list of issues.

They finally got me. Meta has essentially locked me out of Instagram (pictured) and Facebook. I can either...

* confirm that they can process my personal data for ads

or

* pay them €7.99/month on Instagram to "unlock" my account and not process my personal data for ads; plus €5.99/month on Facebook as my accounts aren't linked

Kind of reads like extortion to me.
