Such a good point. Companies must comply with subpoenas, and they have reputations to protect. Using the legal system to target those doing business with the White House makes sense. Follow the money.
Pursuing corporate targets lets congressional investigators expose
this corrupt system more quickly. Document requests and
subpoenas to private companies don't trigger the same executive
privilege fights that the White House is gearing up for. What's more,
corporations are incentivized to cooperate with Congress, as
noncompliance carries significant legal and reputational costs that
few companies are willing to bear.

Amy's right. Bessent is a real concern for the economy, the country and the world.
Amy Siskind ~
53 minutes ago .

I gifted this article about Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent which details
his bullying, his erratic behavior, and temper.
He has lost an unusually high number of treasury employees in his first
20 months, including many he brought in that were Senate confirmed.
He has already churned through three chiefs of staff. His staff is so afraid
of his volatile behavior that they try to gage his mood before showing up
to meetings, and celebrate when he is out of the office.
This is a long read, but you also have the option to listen to it. See less

FBI counterintelligence squads, specialized units dedicated to tracking and ferreting out foreign spies, have been hit with deep cuts across the country, even as the U.S. faces a growing array of adversaries intent on stealing the nation's secrets. www.npr.org/2026/10/06/g...
npr.org
As Trump focuses the FBI on immigration, counterintelligence is falling behind
The cuts come as a consequence of President Trump and FBI Director Kash Patel's focus on violent crime and immigration, leaving other priorities understaffed.

There's more 😡
Amy Siskind
25 minutes ago .

NBC News: within 15 minutes of the Cornell campus alert on the sexual
assault in November 8, 2024, tips came on to the campus police:

* the names of men
* the existence of a GroupMe fraternity group chat where frat brothers
were discussing what happened
* two women at the house that night said the fraternity brothers assured
them the incident was consensual - and later asked one of them not to
talk about it
* a screen recording of a Snapchat conversation among Chi Phi members
from that night, where one advertised "free p ---- y" in an upstairs
bedroom
* a caller said one of the men identified was her ex-boyfriend, and he
told her that he "had attended a party at Chi Phi" where a woman had
been "sexually assaulted by several males and coerced into consuming
ketamine and other drugs."
And more.

Much of the information was never passed on to the Tompkins County
DA Office. See less

I LOVE how @propublica.org dealt with official comment here, editorially and stylistically.
The Trump administration says none of this is happening. 

"DHS is NOT arresting U.S. citizens by mistake." "There are no 'indiscriminate' stops." Allegations of "racial profiling are disgusting, reckless and categorically FALSE." "The pattern is NOT of law enforcement using force." "ICE does not zip tie or restrain children." 

But that is precisely what is happening, and at a far larger scale than previously reported.
