#USPol #Corruption calls for #InspectorGeneral for Dept of Homeland Security after evidence of corruption & surveillance:
IG #Cuffari Engaged in Gross Waste of Taxpayer Funds: IG Cuffari expended $1.39 million of taxpayer funds to hire a private law firm to investigate three former senior members of his staff, most likely for his “personal” interest and in order to #retaliate against two of them. Two of these employees had lodged formal #complaints about IG Cuffari. https://oversightdemocrats.house.gov/news/press-releases/ranking-members-raskin-and-thompson-call-removal-inspector-general-cuffari
W just 4 companies controlling over 1/2 of #poultry production in the country #chicken processors have been able to collude to #suppress #wages, #fix #prices and #retaliate against #farmers who speak out. Poultry growers have little recourse when #BigChicken gives them a raw deal. Roughly a quarter live in places where there’s just one company to work with. Half live in places where there are no more than two. #agriculture #economy https://www.nytimes.com/2024/09/30/opinion/rural-rage-harris.html?unlocked_article_code=1.Ok4.HyWD.W-xAd56X0zvv #stopeatingmeat #monopoly #agribusiness
When Donald #Trump was indicted on a charge of mishandling #classified #documents, his lawyers said 
one of his defenses would be to demonstrate that the “intelligence community has operated with a #bias against him,” 
offering a litany of grievances dating back to the first impeachment inquiry while he was president.
As the election enters its final sprint, current and former senior 
intelligence officials are warning that Trump during a second term might seek to #retaliate 
and harness America’s powerful spy agencies for his own political purposes
Russia threatens UK military installations, equipment ‘in Ukraine and abroad’ after Cameron’s remarks

A #PulitzerPrize-winning political #photographer resigned Tues from the board of the #FordFoundation, blasting the group for #cowardice in rejecting #Trump critic #LizCheney as the recipient of its top yearly award.
#DavidHumeKennerly claimed that Cheney’s nomination for the Gerald R #Ford Medal for Distinguished #PublicService was nixed largely out of #fear that Trump would #retaliate against the org if he’s reelected.

Back in #Seattle a #Starbucks #unionized, so to #retaliate they closed a few Starbucks in that area including the unionized one claiming, "The neighborhood isn't safe". They got away with their retaliation because they hid it. More needs to be done. Also, don't buy Starbucks coffee. IMHO its terrible. It tastes chemical to me. Good coffee is usually found at your #local small coffee shop.

This isn't new & thats the biggest problem/ The @USDOL #Whistleblower Protection Program has spent decades working adversarially to it's mandate.
The agency is supposed to enforce whistleblower protections in 20+ federal statutes - but, instead, it harasses & #retaliate against whistleblowers on behalf of big business.
