| Social media erupts after Schumer opens tipline for whistleblowers to report government 'abuses of power' |
| 2025-02-11 |
| [FoxNews] Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., faced widespread mockery after launching a tipline to "expose corruption, abuses of power, and threats to public safety." On Monday, Schumer shared a link calling on "whistleblowers" to report violations, arguing they "are a vital part of Congressional oversight to hold the administration accountable." The categories whistleblowers can report include "retaliation," "wasteful spending," "fraud," "criminal activity," and "other." 'Great! I wanna report: Joe Biden. Kamala Harris. Chuck Schumer,' Senator Ted Cruz replied. |

| #4 It cuts both ways Chucky - Under-Reported Trump Order Has Sweeping Implications For DEI At Universities In other words, if you want federal money, you will have to “certify” that you do not “operate any programs promoting” DEI (diversity, equity and inclusion) “that violate any applicable Federal anti-discrimination laws.” And the order eases the way for enforcement through whistleblower claims. ... It’s the False Claims Act – the whistleblower law that allows private citizens to file what are called qui tam actions. That provision in Trump’s new order is specifically intended to make it easier to win whistleblower actions under the False Claims Act. In other words, if a university or other party falsely signs the certification that they have no DEI policies, private parties like their employees can blow the whistle, perhaps getting a cash award. Treble damages are among the possible consequences for False Claims Act violations. ... Many major law firms have posted warnings for their clients about the new Trump order and the potential for whistleblower complaints. |
