Trump’s Justice Department shutters specialized FBI team combatting foreign election interference threats

The shuttering of the FBI Foreign Influence Task Force and planned reassigning of team members follows a directive from incoming US Attorney General Pam Bondi dissolving the team.

Their focus, per their mandate is mainly domestic. they already closed down the State Department group that did that.

That office got reorganized but will likely get killed completely.  And the FBI under DJT is also not going to go after FARA violations or pursue criminal charges for export violations. They also disbanded the unit for national security corporate enforcement.

Well, it appears the election interference came from inside the house this time so I guess we've got that going for us ...

Yeah, I'm not sure how far this is going to go.

Edit:  also, you can bet your ass this is directed at NFL owners who wouldn't give Trump the time of day when he was trying to buy the Bills.

It makes sense if there won't be any future elections in which to interfere.

There will be elections, but any state that goes GOP for governor, SOS, or on the Supreme Court is never going back at this point. Look at NC, the GOP retook the state Supreme Court and is now in the process of throwing out votes to give a Republican a seat they lost. This is why the Democratic holds in the 2022 midterms were so important. 

Hold key Governor, AG, SOS, and Supreme Court positions in WI, MI, PA, AZ, and NV in 2026 and you live to fight another day. The path to 270 at least exists in 2028. Lost them and it's over.

WEST POINT, N.Y. (AP) — The U.S. Military Academy has disbanded a dozen West Point cadet clubs centered on ethnicity, gender, race and sexuality in response to the Trump administration’s push to eliminate diversity programs throughout government.

The famed military academy in New York issued a memo Tuesday shutting down groups including the Asian-Pacific Forum Club, Latin Cultural Club, National Society of Black Engineers Club and Society of Women Engineers Club in order to adhere to recent guidance from the Army and Defense Department. It also shut down the Corbin Forum, a decades-old leadership club for female cadets, and Spectrum, a gay-straight alliance.

Treatment for HIV, AIDS in Haiti hit by U.S. foreign aid halt despite waivers from Rubio

So waivers were issued. Still cut.

When growing gang violence and the kidnappings of healthcare workers forced Haiti’s leading organization in the treatment of HIV and AIDS-related illnesses to relocate operations from its main site in Port-au-Prince last year, infectious-disease doctors at the health service and research group faced a daunting problem.

As they tried to call patients to come get their antiretroviral treatment, the doctors at GHESKIO — the Haitian Group for the Study of Kaposi’s Sarcoma and Opportunistic Infection — found that they had either changed their numbers, didn’t have electricity to keep cell phones powered or no longer lived close by after being forced out of their homes by armed gangs.

“We were having a big issue in finding them. We could only find 40 to 50%,” said Dr. Patrice Joseph, the physician in charge of GHESKIO’s HIV, Tuberculosis and Infectious diseases program. “So we needed to expand the way in which we contacted those patients.”

The innovative solution: a radio spot in Haitian-Creole urging patients to “Come back to Care” and providing them with community health centers in Port-au-Prince where they could get their medication.

This week, following the Trump administration’s sweeping 90-day freeze on U.S. foreign assistance, doctors at GHESKIO launched another spot. This one informed its HIV/AIDS patients that the U.S.-funded President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief program, commonly known as PEPFAR, has been temporarily suspended.

“This sudden decision affects all PEPFAR medical clinics in Haiti and abroad,”

HIV is a major issue in Haiti. It was seen as a oh shit point since it was mutating really quick there.

HIV/AIDS gutted civil society in Haiti. Government, public sector, police, etc.
