Scoop from me and @CarolLeonnig:

Kash Patel fired a group of FBI intelligence analysts Friday over a rescinded 2023 memo citing “radical traditionalist Catholic ideology” that has long been a focus of MAGA activists despite an investigation that found no anti-Catholic bias, three people familiar with the matter told MS Now.

At least five analysts were let go, the sources said. The analysts worked in the FBI’s Richmond office, where the memo originated.

It was titled, “Interest of Racially or Ethnically Motivated Violent Extremists in Radical-Traditionalist Catholic Ideology Almost Certainly Presents New Mitigation Opportunities.”

The memo argued that some white supremacists and racially motivated violent extremists were attempting to recruit a small subset of "radical traditionalist Catholics" and suggested that Catholic congregations could present opportunities for intelligence gathering.

After it became public, then-FBI Director Christopher Wray ordered it withdrawn.  He apologized for it in several Congressional hearings, saying it didn’t meet the the FBI’s standards.  Then Attorney General Merrick Garland called it “appalling.”

A review in 2024 by the Justice Department’s Inspector General found no evidence of anti-Catholic bias or bad intent on the part of the FBI personnel who prepared the memo.  But the IG concluded it suffered from significant analytical problems and poor tradecraft.

Some if the information in the memo came from the Southern Poverty Law Center, an anti-extremist organization that which is now the subject of a deeply controversial fraud indictment.
Republicans and MAGA activists have seized on the memo for years as evidence that the FBI was targeting Catholics, despite the inspector general’s findings.

The FBI declined to comment.

Definitely not a cult….holy shit

I think it depends on how you view it and understand the threat - I agree there is a lot of hysteria, but we are also in the infant stages

But we already see how it is being used in pernicious ways. ,
Palintir is essentially an AI company and it is used by governments in an incredibly dangerous way. It’s arguably the most dangerous company in the world - particularly in the hands of bad actors

Man, I really thought tariffs, deportation of farm workers, and rising oil prices because of an necessary war in the Middle East would really be good for farmers and food prices

Weird that hasn’t worked out

Im sure screwworms will bring beef prices down

[Scott Braddock @scottbraddock]

The screwworm has shaken Texas agriculture previously. Those who lived through it in the 1950s say it was commonplace for ranchers to "scoop handfuls of worms from cattle" and other livestock. Herds decimated. Beef prices could soar, markets rattled. Buckle up, #TxLege

@AmandaMAtwell GOAT!

[Amanda Atwell @AmandaMAtwell]

Let's not do this - no one lined up to shake hands. They were celebrating. Tech players came out later, there's videos of them hugging Texas players. It just didn't happen immediately after because of the trophy/celebration.

[Hey, Dave! @davegreenidge57]

In less than 18 months, MAGA has managed to bring back measles. They defunded the Ebola monitoring program that likely resulted in an what is an emergent pandemic. Now, they’ve allowed the food supply to be contaminated by a deadly parasite not seen in the U.S. since 1966.

[The Lincoln Project @ProjectLincoln]

The Trump administration has been telling you they had screwworm under control for months. Now, it's here.

What happened? Trump and DOGE slashed funding for screwworm monitoring programs.

And the entire GOP let them. Thank them for today's new hell they unleashed on you.

An extremely dangerous maggot that eats human flesh called Screwworm has just been found for the first time since it was eradicated in 1966.

This comes after Trump cut funding for Screwworm monitoring programs.
