Did you know that federal employees can add anyone to their health insurance plan with NO accountability?

I requested a report on this and found out around ONE BILLION DOLLARS per YEAR went towards fraudulent coverage. Government employees NEVER had to verify if the person they were adding was family. I introduced the FEHB Protection Act, which became law, to fix this problem and stop the fraud.

Americans deserve a system with accountability, not a free-for-all funded by federal tax dollars.

BREAKING: North Carolina Senate just voted to OVERRIDE Democrat Governor Josh Stein's VETO of a bill opting in to Trump's school choice program.

The vote was 30–19.
The House already voted 73–46.

North Carolina is now the 31st state to opt in to Trump's school choice program.

These “Strange” Appointments Only Look Random If You Pretend the Old Protection Racket Still Works https://t.co/zj11c46e56

[Flopping Aces @FloppingAces]

The media wants you to focus on Bill Pulte’s resume.

No intelligence background. No time in the military, State Department, or Congress. “Strange” appointment. “Baby in Spookland.” That’s the line they’re pushing hard right now.

It’s also the wrong line.

Pulte already sits on top of the Federal Housing Finance Agency and chairs both Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. That gives him direct or near-direct access to extraordinarily detailed mortgage, credit, and property records on a huge portion of the country ... including the kind of ownership patterns, shell structures, and financial flows that usually stay buried. Now he’s also acting Director of National Intelligence, replacing Tulsi Gabbard while keeping his housing roles.

That combination isn’t random. One set of hands now touches both the largest housing-finance data pipelines in America and the office that coordinates foreign intelligence collection, including intercepts that can pull in communications and financial dealings involving U.S. persons.

At the exact same time, new Fed Chair Kevin Warsh just hired Paul Winfree ... the actual author of the Project 2025 chapter on the Federal Reserve ... to help redesign the central bank. Winfree’s proposals include options like ending the Fed in favor of free banking, returning to a commodity-backed dollar, and blocking any central bank digital currency because of the surveillance power it would hand the state.

The people screaming about Pulte’s lack of qualifications are the same ones who spent years warning about concentrated power and unaccountable institutions. Suddenly they’re very nervous about one loyal operator sitting at the junction of mortgage data and intelligence access.

The resume story is the distraction. The access story is the part that actually explains the volume of the reaction.

@Variety CBS only would've been up 9% because ABC, NBC, and CNN and MSNBC news were losing viewers due to misinformation and omission of important facts.

[Michael Shellenberger @shellenberger]

After being fired from CBS, former “60 Minutes” correspondent Scott Pelley yesterday said that “new management has instructed me to inject falsehoods and bias into a politically sensitive story. I’ve been told to include assertions that are unverified.”

Those are remarkable claims for which Pelley presented no evidence. Indeed, it would be extraordinary for CBS to demand such things of a correspondent, either verbally or in writing, given the reputational risk to the network.

A more likely explanation is that Pelley disagreed with someone at CBS and then declared a difference of opinion to be a demand to lie. Support for this interpretation comes from the fact that he claimed Tuesday that CBS’s new management, led by Bari Weiss, was trying to kill “60 Minutes,” something for which he also did not provide evidence.

Moreover, the accusation makes no sense. CBS Editor-in-Chief Bari Weiss took the job to rebuild CBS News, not to wreck it, and a ruined “60 Minutes” would hurt her. Paramount’s owners did not pay billions for the network to burn its best asset for spite. So the simpler reading is that Pelley is the one stretching the truth.

Doing so appears to be a habit for Pelley. He told The New York Times, “I have been in combat in Afghanistan. I have been in combat in Iraq,” but being in a combat zone as a journalist is not the same as being “in combat.” The remark is yet more evidence of Pelley’s propensity to exaggerate to the point of lying.

For decades, mainstream liberal journalists have displayed remarkable levels of arrogance, even as they get major stories wrong.

Consider the case of CBS News’ former anchor Dan Rather. In the fall of 2004, two months before the election, Rather presented documents purporting to show favoritism in George W. Bush’s National Guard service. Experts called them forgeries. CBS apologized: “We made a mistake in judgment, and for that I am sorry,” Rather said. On air, he added, “I want to say, personally and directly, I’m sorry.”

But then, a decade later, Rather told Variety he still stands “100 percent” behind the report and reframed the apology.

Or consider NBC’s Katie Couric. In her 2016 documentary “Under the Gun,” editors inserted roughly eight to nine seconds of silence after she asked Virginia gun owners how to keep guns from felons and terrorists without background checks, making them look stumped. The raw audio revealed that they answered immediately.

Couric’s first instinct was to defend what she did, saying she was “very proud of the film.” Only after sustained backlash did she apologize.

In her 2021 memoir “Going There,” Couric admitted she cut Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s harshest anthem-kneeling comments from her 2016 interview. Ginsburg had said kneeling players showed “contempt for a government that has made it possible for their parents and grandparents to live a decent life, which they probably could not have lived in the places they came from.”

NBC’s “Meet the Press,” in the spring of 2020, aired a clip of Attorney General Bill Barr that omitted part of his answer, misleading the public.

When Catherine Herridge interviewed Barr for CBS Evening News, she asked what history would say about his decision to drop the case against a former National Security Advisor to President Trump, Michael Flynn. The Obama administration’s FBI had illegally targeted Flynn for entrapment and prosecution. Barr replied that ”history is written by the winner. So it largely depends on who’s writing the history.”

"Meet the Press'" anchor at the time, Chuck Todd, said on air that Barr “didn’t make the case that he was upholding the rule of law. He was almost admitting that, yeah, this is a political job.’” But “Meet the Press” had left out the second part of Barr’s answer to Herridge, in which he said, “But I think a fair history would say that it was a good decision because it upheld the rule of law.”

The safeguards the journalism profession built against error did not work when it mattered. The corrections, the editors, the fact-checkers, and the standards desks all sat in place while the press got the border, trans medicine, climate, the sixth extinction, Russiagate, the Hunter Biden laptop, Covid and much else wrong. Gerth described how reporters sought to “shoot the messenger” rather than grapple with evidence contradicting the Russia collusion narrative...

Scott Pelley says CBS demanded he "inject falsehoods," and wants to "murder" 60 Minutes. There's no evidence for either claim and good reason to think they're false. Pelley joins Dan Rather, Katie Couric, and Chuck Todd in spreading misinformation and then denying he had done so

Read this thread. I gave a possible identity to the SPLC plant in Charlottesville - and it's someone who was central to organizing Unite the Right, and also talked about running over protesters before the rally.

I'm pretty sure I nailed it. There's no one else in those transcripts who fits, especially after today's revelations.

🚨 JUST IN: President Trump announces executive order directing Sec. Scott Bessent to *SHUT DOWN* bank accounts used to facilitate illegal immigration or to give illegal aliens welfare

Trump is moving to DE-BANK illegals

LET'S GO, LONG OVERDUE 🔥

"Funds will ultimately face Impoundment and Seizure so they can to be returned to Taxpayers."

"It is not ludicrous, but profoundly dangerous, that any Illegal Alien can simply present a Blue State Drivers License, or Biden Border Document, and have unrestricted access to the U.S. Financial System."

"I recently signed a powerful new Executive Order, which will be led by the Treasury Department, to stop Banks, Credit Cards, and Financial Institutions from being used to facilitate Human Smuggling, Drug Trafficking, Illegal Immigration, and the Criminal Cartels who orchestrate these activities."

"Access to our Nation’s Financial Systems must be limited to those who have a Legal Right to be here, and who are engaged in Lawful and Legitimate Commerce. Bank Accounts being used to enable Illegal Immigration, or to store the Welfare received by Illegal Aliens, will be shut down."

"This also sends a clear message to the anti-ICE rioters that your violent disruptions are only strengthening our resolve. My Executive Order will also allow us to stop Billions in leaving our Country in all manner of criminal activity. It has been said this measure we are taking is the most effective means of reversing Biden’s Border Invasion. We shall soon find out!"

Bessent is going after fraudsters and illegals!

[Margot Cleveland @ProfMJCleveland]

On May 11, SCOTUS ruled 6-3 in Alabama’s favor.  Sotomayor dissented, virtually BEGGING the lower court to ignore SCOTUS.  On May 26, the lower court (INCLUDING TWO TRUMP APPOINTEES!) took Sotomayor’s advice, ignoring SCOTUS and ruling against Alabama.  Today, SCOTUS again ruled 6-3 in Alabama’s favor.  Among other things, this is a lesson in the hubris of federal judges, even Republican ones — which is why Republican Presidents must take extreme care in making these lifetime appointments.

I've written the full story — who Munster is, the DEFUSE connection, the mpox GOF controversy, and what this case means for the biodefense establishment.

Read it here: https://t.co/xlDUQzromw

If this matters to you, retweet tweet 1 at the top of this thread. The people who need to see this aren't looking for it.

[Robert W Malone, MD @RWMaloneMD]

Ask
What should happen now:

→ Permanent ban on taxpayer-funded GOF research, domestic or overseas
→ Terminate overseas pathogen collection programs
→ Replace institutional self-policing with independent oversight
→ Public disclosure of every grant, collaboration, and enhancement experiment

[Robert W Malone, MD @RWMaloneMD]

The trust problem: the public cannot inspect BSL-4 labs. Taxpayers don't sit on review committees. We are asked to trust that experts follow the rules.

After EcoHealth. After DEFUSE. After COVID. After the mpox GOF controversy. After Munster — that trust is gone.

The burden of proof has shifted.

[Robert W Malone, MD @RWMaloneMD]

This is not a single bad actor. It's a pattern.

Congressional investigations documented: missing records, withheld information, reporting violations, institutional obstruction, and gain-of-function mpox experiments nobody told the public about.

Every time: officials said critics didn't understand the science.

[Robert W Malone, MD @RWMaloneMD]

DEFUSE contemplated experiments on novel bat coronaviruses, spike protein manipulation, and insertion of furin cleavage sites.

DARPA said no. But NIAID kept funding the same research ecosystem — EcoHealth, the Wuhan Institute of Virology, the same scientific objectives.

Then COVID emerged in Wuhan.

[Robert W Malone, MD @RWMaloneMD]

Why does Munster's name matter?

In April 2024, Sen. Rand Paul released documents showing Rocky Mountain Laboratories — Munster's facility — was listed as a participant in EcoHealth Alliance's DEFUSE proposal.

The same proposal DARPA rejected for posing unacceptable biosafety risks.

[Robert W Malone, MD @RWMaloneMD]

Munster and colleague Claude Kwe returned from the Republic of Congo carrying a large case they told CBP contained diagnostic equipment.

Inside: 113 vials in Styrofoam coolers. 17 contained deactivated mpox. 1 contained chickenpox. 2 contained human DNA.

They face up to 5 years in prison.
