Current DOJ executive, providing honest commentary on American politics. Opinions are my own and do not represent those of my employer #AltGov

[THREAD] I'm an executive within DoJ, and have worked for & with Republicans and Democrats, and have had bosses and coworkers that were both

I had the privilege of working closely with Robert Mueller when he was FBI Director. One of my most treasured memorabilia is his personal challenge coin he gave me as thanks. I know his Spec. Counsel time is divisive, but he always truly wanted to do what was right. Rest in peace

[David Corn @DavidCornDC]

This is the most wonderful and astonishing thing I've seen in a damn long while. Thank you, Ian and @StephenAtHome.

After 20+ years working in the Department of Justice, I retired not long ago. I’m embarrassed to have any association with people who would put out an official DOJ press release like this

[AltScalesOfJustice @AltScalesOfJust]

And both the AG and DAG are reportedly meeting with Ghislaine Maxwell personally tomorrow. That is unheard of

Keep in mind this is Trump’s PERSONAL FUCKING ATTORNEY

[AltScalesOfJustice @AltScalesOfJust]

We should always look for ways to be more efficient and effective in what we do. There is SOME unethical stuff that should be found, but that is very much in the minority. The chaos and dysfunction DOGE has caused across government FAR outweighs any benefits they are finding

"A former employee of Dept of Government Efficiency says that he found that the federal waste, fraud and abuse that his agency was supposed to uncover were "relatively nonexistent" during his short time embedded within the Dept of Veterans Affairs."

🎭 Politicians rarely say what they mean—because metaphors do the work for them. This week on UnSpun, we decode the hidden messages. Find it here or wherever you pod. https://t.co/KYIhu2lLh2

@manlikedeep @kaitlancollins This would be Australian breakdancing

I served two combat tours in Iraq. I know how these operations are supposed to go.

Top takeaways: 

1) Hegseth definitively exposed CLASSIFIED war plans.

2) Hegseth must resign. IMMEDIATELY.

3) This is a cover-up at the highest levels of government.

Let me explain.

Something is lost in the discussion around RIFs and waste: we pay for work from federal employees because that work benefits the country and its people. Starting an occasional series of civil servants in their own words (AI voice for privacy). This person works for the IRS.

[AltScalesOfJustice @AltScalesOfJust]

@WhiteHouse America will never have a king. Sure as hell not Trump. I and other federal employees swore allegiance to the U.S. Constitution, not to any person or position. We are loyal to the Constitution. We ARE NOT loyal to Trump as an individual

[AltScalesOfJustice @AltScalesOfJust]

Amid the chaos on the federal government work front, @AltScalesBtrHlf and I are so excited to have some time away from it all to attend the #GRAMMYs with you, @dreamwithfaith. Thanks again for making it possible!

[dreamwithfaith™ 🇺🇦 🕊 ☮🌻 @dreamwithfaith]

Kevin and Matt had an EPIC duet

For a diversion from all the divisiveness in politics, here is my favorite of the pictures I took at the AMAZING @PTXofficial concert tonight

[AltScalesOfJustice @AltScalesOfJust]

Pentatonix KILLED it tonight

[AltScalesOfJustice @AltScalesOfJust]

Indeed. We’re buckling up

[Lauren Windsor @lawindsor]

This guy was reportedly under consideration for AG... Just so you know what's coming in terms of shakeup within the DOJ 👇

[AltScalesOfJustice @AltScalesOfJust]

@elonmusk The Scales of Justice are strong enough to stand up as a fair arbiter long after you, your tangerine puppet, and any hammers you have are long gone

If you can’t with cable news or billionaire owned Washington Post/NYT, you can always get reliable news with appropriate profanity for free. Woman-owned. Women-hosted. No bullshit. https://t.co/ptuekwGrxu

Is anyone else utterly exhausted by the dem postmortem narrative and finger pointing?

Trump leads A FUCKING CULT.

Dems "messaging" is not ever, ever, EVER going to unbrainwash them with facts and reality they have been divorced from for a decade.
