Eight years after targeting Hillary Clinton's email protocols, Trump's transition team is relying on private servers instead of secure government accounts.

Summary

Donald Trump’s transition team is relying on private email servers and devices instead of secure government accounts, raising cybersecurity concerns among federal officials as sensitive government data could be exposed.

This decision comes despite Trump previously criticizing Hillary Clinton’s email practices during the 2016 election, when he and Republicans framed her use of private email as reckless and dangerous.

Critics argue this inconsistency highlights insincerity, suggesting the prior outrage over Clinton’s emails was a politically motivated attack rather than a genuine concern about national security.

    No, they fucking don’t spark concerns. Literally nobody who supports Trump or any swing voters give a shit about his emails. Democrats and the media need to stop acting like anyone cares about “muh norms” and call out the fascist power grabs. But, if they start talking about real issues, they might have to talk about their own shortcomings, and we can’t have that.

      Democrats are starting to talk about things like rule by Billionaires much more than they historically ever have. Not just bernie starting to take it seriously

      House Minority Leader Jeffries

      Republicans would rather cut taxes for billionaire donors than fund research for children with cancer.

      That is why our country is on the brink of a government shutdown that will crash the economy, hurt working class Americans and likely be the longest in history.

      Welcome back to the MAGA swamp.

      (Dems ended up being able to restore funding for pediatric cancer research with some senate dem maneuvering)

      Or we can look at some of the people running for DNC chair

      Ben Wikler, Wisconsin Dem Party Chair who’s a front runner for DNC chair

      Last time I checked, no one voted for a President Musk.

      A multibillionaire’s stranglehold over Donald Trump and the entire GOP should infuriate all of us.

      Millions of people voted to bring down the cost of eggs—not for an oligarch to try shutting down our government.

      Ken Martin, Minnesota DFL Chair, also a front runner for DNC chair

      An unelected billionaire and a yet-to-be inaugurated president who says he’s a billionaire are taking away child cancer research money for the holidays.

      James Skoufis, NY 42nd District State Senator, running for DNC chair

      Billions were spent last cycle, much of it lit on fire via glossy mailers and TV ads that only made some DC consultants rich.

      Those dollars should go to our state/local parties and coalition building, folks who do hard work that win us elections yet receive crumbs from the DNC.
