right wing death squads?

Prince has attempted to expand the role of his mercenary band several times since Trump won the election. Although he hasn't been hired by "the government," people should be aware that private interests, including multi-national corporations with significant presence in the US, have contracted with him. This includes, but is not limited to, "energy" corporations that identify peo-environment people as their "enemy."

The House version of the spending bill released last week contained a provision that allows the Trump administration to spend funds on intelligence activities that were not specifically authorized by Congress — sidestepping a longstanding law that requires congressional notification and authorization of such spending and activity.

Sen. Richard Burr (R, N.C.), chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee, came to the floor to encourage his colleagues to replace that provision before the final vote — a motion that failed when fellow Republican Thad Cochran objected.

His Democratic counterpart, Mark Warner of Virginia said the measure had alarming implications for the future Congress's role to supervise intelligence operations.
"If this exemption is granted, you could potentially have an administration — any administration — go off and take on covert activities, for example, with no ability for our committee, which spends the time and has oversight, to say 'time out,' or to say we actually disagree with that policy," Mr. Warner said. "So I've been very disturbed about the whole process."

House appropriators said the provision was added at the request of the Trump administration. The White House, Pentagon and Office of Management and Budget did not respond to questions about why they felt the provision was necessary. The measure is unlikely to imperil the final passage of the bill.

liberal if a spy agency was private. The mission of said private spy agency could have as a mission to elect republicans. Telsa figured out something that remains secret to this day 70 years after his death. I'm not saying spy agencies should not have secrets. I'm saying science should be under a government mandate when science or intelligence is made highly classified to make government powerful and the people safe. It is a public good. Private corporations have enough secrets as it is. Sure they can research and develop their own science. But should high level psychology spies rely on become the domain of the republucan party or a corporation? They would sit on it if releasing it after it became unclassified would help the middle class or the poor compete. They would leak it to the Republican party. Just look what the Republicans did with the "DHS" report of immigrant terrorists or Nines memo on the FBI. They want the good information for them and their party only. The public gets bull****.

why not agents and government and dumb sisters running education. THen they literally rule the world which is their only agenda.

there were several articles on twitter about it.
