The Brief: Feb. 25, 2025 - Apple’s $500B Bet, DOJ Declass Stonewall & Musk’s Deep State Purge

Ashe in America breaks down Apple’s massive $500 billion investment in the U.S., a move that signals the tech industry is betting big on Trump’s economy...but is there a deeper play at work? With Apple CEO Tim Cook cozying up to MAGA while the DRC investigates Apple for child slavery and smuggling, the timing raises some serious questions.

Meanwhile, Pam Bondi still hasn’t released the Epstein files, despite pressure from Rep. Anna Paulina Luna and a growing public demand for transparency. Why is the DOJ dragging its feet on Trump’s declassification orders, and is Congress just grandstanding?

Also in this episode: The Deep State’s panic reaches new heights, with D.C. insiders frantically searching for fraud lawyers, offshore bank accounts, and even suicide hotlines. Plus, Elon Musk gets a legal challenge over his government efficiency operation, as the bureaucrats desperately try to stop the purge. The swamp is sweating, and we’ve got all the receipts.
