CNN: FBI director Christopher Wray "has three years remaining in his 10-year term and would have to resign or be fired to create a vacancy." The FBI says Wray remains focused "on the men and women of the FBI, the people we do the work with, and the people we do the work for."
In his book, former Attorney General Bill Barr recounts Trump’s attempt to install Kash Patel as deputy director of the FBI: "I told Mark Meadows it would happen 'over my dead body'...Patel had virtually no experience that would qualify him to serve at the highest level of the world's preeminent law enforcement agency.”
For years, Medicare was not allowed to negotiate drug prices because of a sweetheart deal with pharma companies. I worked to end this deal. Now 10 major drugs are up for price negotiation, with more on the way because our seniors should be able to afford what they need to live.
Here’s the thing about the Patel and Tulsi and Hegseth picks… These are some of the most important positions in the world. It’s not some game for quack influencers and podcasters. This may feel cathartic for MAGA, but these clowns will lead them to a crisis of their own making.
Hawaii Governor Josh Green should be called as the leading Democratic witness against confirming RFK Jr. as HHS Secretary. His first-hand knowledge of how Kennedy caused dozens of avoidable deaths in Samoa should doom his irresponsible nomination.

Here’s where we’re at: Trump has declared war on this country. He’s declared war on the men & women of the DOJ, the FBI, the intelligence community, & the military. He’s purposely picked people to destroy these agencies. This is not normal. This must not be accepted. The people in these agencies, who work every day to keep Americans safe, must either resign or fight back. The rest of us must now publicly call out Trump for what he is - an enemy of this country - and be the resistance.
BREAKING: Election security experts have asked The White House to do a forensic audit on Trump's Victory.
They are saying a forensic audit could change the results.
Jared Kushner’s father paid a prostitute to seduce his brother-in-law, secretly recorded it, and then showed the video to his own sister for revenge & intimidation.
He got caught.
He admitted it.
He got convicted.
Trump pardoned him.
And today he made him our next Ambassador to France.
The worst people on the planet are being placed in positions of tremendous influence and power.
And it’s fucking disgusting.
I think the hardest part of the past few weeks is the refusal of many to take accountability. We (including myself) fucked up and it’s time to learn. That’s really all I want to hear.
I’ll start out- when I met with President Biden one on one 14 months ago in the Oval and he asked “how do I get the youth vote” I should have told him to drop out. Maybe I would have been kicked out of the meeting, it probably wouldn’t have mattered. But at least I would have told the President what he needed to hear instead of what he wanted to hear.
I also should have been more forceful with my fears about the youth vote and especially young men. The biggest sign that I needed to push harder on that should have been the number of sycophant-sultants who gave me shit for brining up these concerns. (Because it made them look bad and like they should have been fired which they should have been because they had no fucking clue what they were doing)
That meeting will be a permanent nightmare and lesson I will carry for the rest of my life.
