“The Court [McConnell] created ended up being the Court that helped to enable Donald Trump to not eventually face prosecution. It was the biggest miscalculation of his political career, and no doubt will be a stain on his legacy,” says biographer Michael Tackett.

The water released from two California reservoirs will likely go to waste, not help Los Angeles with firefighting, experts say. cbsn.ws/3WGJRTu

So much for free speech

"At least 1,000 USAID staff have had our .gov accounts and government furnished equipment deactivated and wiped overnight with no advance communications," USAID worker tells me. "This includes colleagues deployed in active war zones like Ukraine and Gaza who rely on USG technology for safety." x.com/kenklippenstei…

New: An internal FBI document obtained by NBC News shows that executives use the FBIs Sentinel case file management system to identify agents and employees who worked on January 6 cases. The document says there were around 2400 investigations in total. The document says the search of case files was used to generate a list of names who then received a survey asking them exactly what they did on these cases. This is being viewed within the FBI as a retribution mission.

Donald Trump’s new State Department appointee.

USAID is filled with idealistic people who work long hours, often in dangerous places, to save lives. Debate policy or spending levels all you want, but calling them evil or claiming that they hate America is truly disgraceful.

Yesterday, the US vice-president called Denmark a bad ally and repeated the threat of a hostile take-over of Greenland. It has been only three years since Danish troops left Afghanistan where they fought with the Americans for 18 years and suffered the highest casulties per capita of any country including the Americans themselves. For one reason only: To protect the United States after 11/9.

This is a crisis response app. If a diplomat is in danger, for any reason, this sends their whereabouts to diplomatic security in country and DC x.com/kenklippenstei…

… and by the way, when L.A. was on fire, those daredevil water-bombing planes flying very tricky low patterns to directly hit the fires had a familiar image on them: the Canadian flag. 🇺🇸🇨🇦

Captain “Sully” Sullenberger slams Trump for blaming DEI for the American Airlines crash in DC: “An airplane cannot know or care who the pilot is - what their skin tone is, what gender they are.” RETWEET if you stand with Captain Sully against Trump!

In its simplest terms, the apparent demise of #USAID is the result of the world's richest man ending a program that helps millions of poor people. You don't need a Ph.D. in moral theology to see why this is an evil. You can just read Jesus's parables on the rich and the poor.

Hey everyone. It’s Feb 3rd, and the Democrats have been at home since Jan 24th because the house is out of session. They should have come back, the place is on fire. Get suing, messaging, demonstrating, speaking, everything and ANYTHING

Pete Buttigieg continues to push back on the MAGA lies surrounding the DC plane crash. He’s absolutely right!

As Trump steals our data, fires cops, releases his violent inmates onto our streets, and raises all of our grocery costs…remember this: It’s a hell of a lot easier and cheaper to defend freedom than to get it back once it’s taken. Get ready. He’s coming for your freedom.

In 2012, when I was the US ambassador to Russia, Putin shut down USAID inside Russia. Why? Because their work supported free markets, democracy, human rights —ie causes that threatened Putins dictatorship. Shutting down USAID is exactly what autocrats all over the world want.

The breach of data at the Office of Personnel Management by college kids with no background checks and unsecured electronic devices means that the personal identifying information of every agent who works for the FBI, CIA, or any other sensitive position is now compromised.

Dear Democratic Leaders: here’s a free idea, send members of congress into the buildings where Elons people are and see what they’re doing. Dare them to stop you. Do something

NBC News has confirmed reporting by The New York Times that FBI personnel have been given a survey asking them questions about their participation in January 6 cases. And also that the head of the New York field office sent a message to colleagues saying: “Today, we find ourselves in the middle of a battle of our own, as good people are being walked out of the F.B.I. and others are being targeted because they did their jobs in accordance with the law and FBI policy.”
