Interesting how instead of Tulsi Gabbard @TulsiGabbard, it is CIA Director Ratcliffe @DCIARatcliffe who is on the Hill today advocating to extend FISA 702. This is unusual, given that under the First Trump Administration, it was the DNI’s job to lobby Congress to extend the surveillance authority. Tulsi has—for her entire career—lobbied against FISA 702, only flipping when she needed the support of FISA proponent Tom Cotton @SenTomCotton for her Senate confirmation. Maybe the admin views Ratcliffe as more trustworthy than Tulsi. Just an observation.








It's fascinating to see what social media reveals about a person before they become the Pope. Before he became Pope Leo XIV, Cardinal Robert Prevost was on Twitter trashing Trump, criticizing Vance, calling for open borders, promoting COVID vaccines, endorsing stricter gun control, and tweeting after George Floyd: "We need to hear more from leaders in the Church, to reject racism and seek justice." The account was deleted the day he was elected.






I see a lot of punditries missing the forest as they peer intently at the trees. You know the real reason CIA whistleblower Eric Ciaramella's name was never permitted to be mentioned? Because the CIA tried to remove a sitting President from office. The point is being lost.
