"Twenty-four survivors of Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell’s crimes, have issued an emotional and urgent appeal to the U.S. Senate and House of Representatives, demanding that Congress vote to release the files. The letter was also signed by at least four women who’ve accused Trump of sexual assault or misconduct."

I hoped that, MAYBE, some american companies that present themselves as being "better" when compared to their giant counterparts were indeed somehow better. Today I'm disappointed, with #Kagi .

I know that it is unnerving when someone posts anything resembling what I myself wrote in their Discord server. It creates discomfort and social tension. I feel it myself, I don't like it either. Not even now, when I'm writing this knowing that I'll find many more of you agreeing with this.

But it is necessary. If we don't ever pressure the ones who hold money and/or power, the only change that we'll see is everything getting worse.

Today Kagi refuses to say what do they think about #Trump 's techno-fascist regime, and I take that as collaborationism. Small scale collaborationism, but collaborationism.

Hellend vlak: Trump-regering bestempelt vier linkse activistengroepen uit Europa als ’terroristisch’:

"Nobody is buying what Trump is selling on Epstein. His net approval on it is an absolutely dreadful -39 pts... Far worse than any other major issue.

It isn't improving over time.

Even among the GOP, just 45% (!) approve of the job the Trump admin is doing on the Epstein case."

#BillPulte ’s power over the #mortgage lending industry is unusual. Not long after his #Senate confirmation, he appointed himself chairman of both #FannieMae & #FreddieMac, which hold trillions of dollars in assets. The companies serve as a crucial backstop for the home lending industry by buying up mortgages from individual lenders, which are packaged together & sold to investors.

#BillPulte also got something he wanted.

A day after the terse email exchange, #Trump posted a graphic to his Truth Social network that featured #FannieMae’s logo, a list of large homebuilders & the headline “We Give Them Billions.”

Pulte quickly reposted it.

Others who were part of the email chain included Almodovar, the CEO; COO Peter Akwaboah; Devang Doshi, a snr VP for capital markets; & John Roscoe, a #BillPulte loyalist & fmr #Trump White House aide, who served as #FannieMae’s executive VP of PR & operations.

Days later, Almodovar, McCoy & Evans…were out of a job. Meanwhile, Roscoe was promoted to co-president of the company, while Akwaboah was named acting CEO.

In the Oct 11 message to Smith, Evans, the #FannieMae #mortgage executive, also added others to the email chain because they “were involved with this week’s efforts to compile this information” & he wanted to “make sure you do not exacerbate this issue.”

Danielle McCoy, Fannie Mae’s general counsel, weighed in, adding that the information Smith provided to #FreddieMac should “never be shared” & “could put the company at risk.”

…Soon, a team at #FannieMae was overseeing an effort to pull together a tranche of #mortgage data, according to emails reviewed by the AP. Smith played a central role and shared the #confidential lender-level pricing information with #FreddieMac, which set off alarms at both companies, according to the emails.

The 3 competing roles present the potential for a #ConflictOfInterest that is detailed in emails reviewed by AP. Like many matters of public policy in Trump’s Washington, it appears to have begun with a social media post.

In October, #Trump criticized the homebuilding industry….

“They’re sitting on 2 million empty lots, A RECORD,” Trump posted to his social media…. “I’m asking #FannieMae & #FreddieMac to get Big Homebuilders going.”

“On it,” #BillPulte posted in response on X.

…The Wall Street Journal reported this week that some #FannieMae #ethics & #oversight officials who were fired last month had been investigating whether #BillPulte improperly obtained #mortgage information for #LetitiaJames, who was charged last month with bank fraud after Pulte sent a criminal referral to the #DOJ. She said the charges, which she denies, are politically motivated.

Since his appointment to lead the FHFA, #BillPulte has sought to ingratiate himself with #Trump. The 37-yr-old scion of a homebuilding company fortune, Pulte has cultivated a reputation as a hyper-online millennial with a thirst for recognition & a desire to please Trump. He & his wife also donated about $1 million to Trump’s campaign….

#law #scammers #housing #HousingCrisis #affordability #CostOfLiving #WealthGap

#BillPulte also has focused on large home #construction companies, which have drawn #Trump’s ire. Pulte requested #confidential #FannieMae #data & has publicly signaled that he is considering a crackdown if the companies do not increase construction volume.

“I’m looking at the Fannie Mae builder data & with the top three homebuilders we buy EASILY over $20 billion in THEIR LOANS!” he posted to X in early October.

In June, #BillPulte ordered #FannieMae & #FreddieMac to prepare a proposal for the firms to accept #cryptocurrency, another industry #Trump has boosted, as part of the criteria for buying mortgages from #banks. Last week, he persuaded Trump about the allure of a 50-year #mortgage as a way to increase home buying & building—a proposal that was widely criticized because it would drastically increase the overall price of a #loan.

The episode marks the latest example of #BillPulte using what is typically a low-profile position in the federal bureaucracy to enhance his own standing & gain the attention of #Trump. He’s prompted #mortgage #fraud investigations of prominent #Democrats who are some of Trump’s best known antagonists, including Sen #AdamSchiff of California, #NYAG #LetitiaJames & California Rep #EricSwalwell.

"It’s ridiculous that we have to protect these wealthy, insanely powerful people, while at the same time having Donald Trump deliberately sabotage our economy. You look around, there’s layoffs everywhere. You know, everything is not just a little bit more expensive, it’s significantly more expensive than it was even three years ago, say. And why? Where’s the money, man?"
