As a retired U.S. Army Special Forces Warrant Officer, I have spent decades cutting waste and demanding accountability in government programs. That is why I was stunned to discover the Federal Judicial Center (FJC), an agency most Americans have never heard of, yet one that costs taxpayers 35.6 million dollars a year. Senator Eric Schmitt (R-MO) just called it the "USAID of Article III" in his April 9 thread. He is right. This D.C.-based bureaucracy trains federal judges, produces their reference manuals, and has become a prime vector for ideological influence. My new article lays it out in full: why the FJC is unnecessary, where it sits in the heart of the swamp, its recent left-leaning controversies, and why Congress should defund or eliminate it immediately. The rule of law should not come with a hidden training budget. Time to shut down another agency we never needed. @SenEricSchmitt @DataRepublican #FederalJudicialCenter #GovernmentWaste #DefundTheFJC

How ruthlessly effective is the Democrat machine? Eric Swalwell is asked to drop out of the race because a Republicans may actually win. He refuses. Party operatives tap into their pool of white liberal feminists and just like that, he's hit with not one...not two, but FOUR sexual assault accusations. Of course, none of the victims can remember any details, just that it happened. The exact Blasey-Ford and E. Jean Carrol playbook. Within an hour, the victim is being interviewed on @CNN. The email goes out. Almost immediately, the teacher's union is condemning him and Schumer, Pelosi, Jeffries and every other Democrat on Twitter is calling for him to drop out of the race. Keep in mind, when Tara Reade accused Biden of forcibly sexually abusing her, they called her a liar and nobody called for him to drop out. This is all a coordinated attack because they've seen the internal polling that Steve Hilton may actually win this thing and they are sacrificing Swalwell because liberal idiots like him are a dime a dozen.

This is why we ignore world leaders who say "Israel has a right to defend itself, but not on Lebanese soil." This is an IDF strike on a Hezbollah rocket launcher, loaded and ready to fire. If we listened to European leaders, all we could do is duck.

Thread. It's worth noting that OPT appears nowhere in our immigration law. It was, like DACA, created by executive fiat. It's just one of the many unreal scams that permeate our immigration system and enormously privilege foreigners over our own people (e.g, no FICA tax).
Senator Eric Schmitt@SenEricSchmitt

Update in my fight to dismantle the broken OPT system—ICE just got me the numbers: In Missouri alone there are 4,430 OPT visas—many working in jobs that are out-of-scope, stealing opportunities from young Missourians. Here are some of the worst examples.🧵

Gee, I wonder where the idea that "Catholics don't read the bible" came from?
Pope Leo XIV@Pontifex

God does not bless any conflict. Anyone who is a disciple of Christ, the Prince of Peace, is never on the side of those who once wielded the sword and today drop bombs. Military action will not create space for freedom or times of #Peace, which comes only from the patient promotion of coexistence and dialogue among peoples.

Nobody is asking people to translate "私は猫が大好きです" into "I regarding cat really like". We're asking translators not to change the original meaning of the source content. We're asking translators not to add "skibidi rizz toilet" or to change "Male pride is such a pain" into "Fragile masculinity at it again." We're asking translators to keep the content as authentic to the original intent as possible. You can clean up direct literal translations to be more palatable to the English tongue without changing the meaning of what's being written or spoken. I really don't understand what's so hard about this.
Kelly Quinn Chiu 🧭@kellyqute

Some people on this website suddenly seem to be clamoring for hyper-literal translations and I am here tell you that is not good translation. It just isn't.

Don’t act like you didn’t fucking know this, Adam… You knew… You knew when the rumors first slithered through the marble corridors of the House… You knew when the staffers exchanged those sidelong glances and the whispers carried the stench of cover-up. You knew because you are not some wide-eyed naïf stumbling through the swamp… you are its apex predator, a creature whose entire pathology is built on calculated silence, selective outrage, and the exquisite art of plausible deniability. This is not ignorance, Schiff… This is the malignant narcissism of the political class: the same personality disorder that lets you weaponize “democracy” while shielding your own from the very predation you now pretend shocks you to your core. The woman’s story lands like a blade between the ribs…two sexual assaults while she was too intoxicated to fight back, the grotesque power imbalance of a congressman and a subordinate…and suddenly you’re “deeply distressed”? Spare me the theatrical recoil… That’s not moral awakening, that’s damage control dressed in the language of virtue. You’ve spent years marinating in the same fetid ecosystem where predators like Swalwell thrive because the tribe protects its own until the press finally forces the mask to slip. Your psychology is textbook, Adam: the high-functioning sociopath who can look the camera dead in the eye and feign outrage the moment the polls shift. You didn’t just “read the article.” You read the room, calculated the political necrosis, and cut the tumor loose before it metastasized onto your own pristine brand. This is the precise truth you cannot escape: you enabled it. You normalized it. You sat across committee tables, shared strategy sessions, broke bread with a man whose appetites were an open secret in the very circles you pretend to police. And now you want applause for the bare minimum of human decency? For throwing a fellow predator under the bus only after the Chronicle lit the fuse? Fuck that. The pathology here is institutional, and you are patient zero. A man who weaponized every institution against his enemies while insulating his allies from consequence doesn’t suddenly discover ethics on a Friday afternoon. You knew, Adam. You always knew. And the venom in your sudden withdrawal isn’t moral clarity…it’s the cold, reptilian calculus of self-preservation. The real Adam Schiff: the architect of selective blindness, the high priest of performative shock, the embodiment of a ruling class whose moral compass has been surgically removed and replaced with polling data. 💀⚖️
Adam Schiff@AdamSchiff

I have read the San Francisco Chronicle’s account and I am deeply distressed by its allegations. This woman was brave to come forward, and we should take her story seriously. I am withdrawing my endorsement immediately, and believe that he should withdraw from the race.

Keith Ellison finally prosecutes a major fraud case and lets the guy keep his passport so he can flee the country. Unbelievable.

The American people and their elected representatives should not just shrug shoulders on this. There should be a very detailed and very public report on this with specific names, milestones, and explanations…or it will happen again.
Brent D. Sadler@brentdsadler

Heads Should Roll…. a lost nuke sub America is losing one of its too few nuclear attack submarines - USS BOISE. To be honest she hasn’t been doing much for years and its sailors have not had the professional benefit of time at-sea. This decision by Secretary of the Navy is not remarkable and that’s the issue. Having a high-demand/low-availability submarine sitting next to the pier waiting for repairs since 2015, is a gross abuse of resources, and simply cancelling repairs and discarding the boat doesn’t address root causes of what caused this decade-long predicament. This statement stands out as it indicates a nagging lack of accountability, making a repeat of this situation likely: "I can’t point to one thing that killed it," he said (SecNav). "I think it was a combination … the complexity of the engineering, COVID impacts, and pressure on the industrial base." Top of mind should be - what is being done to address public shipyard capacity deficits so that shipbuilders (also behind schedule) don’t need to take on repair work jeopardizing construction of new boats? (Secretary’s rationale for cancelling the repairs and decommissioning BOISE). foxnews.com/politics/navy-…

🚨 BREAKING: Abdirashid Said, a suspect in a massive $11M Medicaid fraud scheme, has fled the country just days before his hearing. Said posted a $150K unconditional bond, and was allowed to keep his passport. Now he’s gone. Thanks to Tim Walz’s soft on crime courts.

Radical activists claimed the Alamo is an Islamic building. Now they’re lobbying Texas to insert fake Islamic history into our kids’ classrooms. I just sent a letter demanding the SBOE reject this revisionist garbage. Texas history is not up for rewriting. dailywire.com/news/one-of-am…
