This Week in Tyranny: Cops Stalk Exes, Musk Poisons Memphis, J6 Payouts

This Week in Tyranny, while the President melted down online, his administration kept steamrolling.Cops got caught using Flock, the nationwide license-plate camera network, to stalk their ex-girlfriends, the same system cities were supposed to dump after it was used to track women driving to clinics. Trump’s Justice Department went to federal court to defend Elon Musk’s right to run 57 unpermitted gas turbines pumping formaldehyde over a Black Memphis neighborhood, arguing his Grok chatbot is too vital to national security to shut off. The January 6 rioters who assaulted police are now demanding millions through a quiet Federal Tort Claims Act back door, with Trump’s own former defense lawyers deciding who gets paid.Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth scrapped the military’s flu shot mandate in April; two months later 160 troops are sick at a Texas base and a recruit is dead. Asked at the G7 whether anyone would be held accountable for a U.S. strike that killed more than 170 people, most of them little girls, at an Iranian elementary school, Trump called it “a strange question.” The Forest Service is preparing to spray cancer-linked glyphosate across 75,000 acres near Lake Tahoe, leaning on a safety study Monsanto secretly ghostwrote. Plus Trump’s algae-choked Reflecting Pool, his feud with Giorgia Meloni, and Jeff Bezos trashing his own newspaper.Sources:https://www.404media.co/cops-keep-getting-arrested-for-using-flock-to-stalk-people/https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2026/jun/16/elon-musk-xai-datacenters-trump-administrationhttps://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026/jun/17/january-6-defendants-compensation-processhttps://thehill.com/policy/defense/5932135-flu-outbreak-lackland-air-force/https://www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-school-bombing-iran-accountable_n_6a32da0fe4b04f5fa0bdeafbhttps://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026/jun/18/lake-tahoe-glyphosatehttps://www.newsweek.com/cyclist-arrested-handcuffed-reflecting-pool-national-guard-12098916https://www.pbs.org/newshour/politics/italys-meloni-pushes-back-on-trumps-fabricated-claim-as-top-diplomat-cancels-u-s-triphttps://www.status.news/p/jeff-bezos-washington-post-donald-trump-dinner Get full access to The Rogue Voice aka Linsay Rousseau at linsayrousseau.substack.com/subscribe
