David Cay Johnston Provides Another Reality Check!
DAVID’S VIDEO COMMENTARY IS BELOW. David Cay Johnston, Pulitzer Prize–winning journalist and DCReport co-founder, highlights a powerful new column by former DCReport contributor, Max Taves, in the San Jose Mercury News. Read Max’s piece HERE.
Taves reveals that leading tech CEOs — from Intel to Meta — are staying silent out of fear of Donald Trump’s retaliation. He also exposes a buried clause in a recent federal “investment” in Intel that could allow Trump to act as an owner, dictating what the company can and cannot do.
This unprecedented intertwining of government control and private enterprise mirrors authoritarian systems abroad — and it’s unfolding in the U.S.
Read the column (outside the paywall), reflect on what this means for innovation, free markets, and democracy, and help spread awareness.
