In 2023, three years after Louisville, Kentucky, police killed Breonna Taylor, the DOJ published a scathing report on the police department’s pattern of misconduct. In 2025, the DOJ halted oversight of the department, but problems remained.

I dare one person on here to make a case that Bill Pulte is a qualified pick for any national security position, much less one that demands discretion, depoliticized work, and a commitment to presenting the President with facts and impartial analysis.
ProPublica, KYUK and NPR previously uncovered severe structural damage, a bat infestation, and other serious health and safety issues in one rural school district.
For nearly two decades, the state ignored the district’s funding request for repairs.

Now that Bill Pulte has been named acting director of national intelligence, it's worth going back to this great profile by @ginaheeb@jdawsey1 and @rebeccaballhaus --->
He’s Called ‘Little Trump,’ and His Tactics Are Rankling White House Top Brass

Just before Gov. Mike DeWine's moratorium takes effect, two last Ohio data centers get a $42 million tax break

A DOGE staffer convened a meeting with Department of Energy officials to discuss the future of nuclear power and downplayed the risk of radiation exposure at nuclear test sites:
“They are testing in Utah. … I don’t know, like 70 people live there.”

“Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has blocked the promotion of eight Navy captains to be one-star admirals, including two female and two Black officers, according to current and former U.S. officials.” https://t.co/4bgARhvqJ2
Not coincidentally, this attack is underway shortly after the U.S. delayed delivery of air defense missiles to Ukraine and after Zelensky wrote an urgent appeal to Trump writing, "I ask for your help in protecting Ukraine's skies from Russian missiles."
It’s going to take years for the US to recover from this loss of expertise. And Americans r less safe for it. Did State need reform? Of course. In a big way. Like most govt institutions. This is not reform, however, it’s govt malpractice. And Rubio is at the helm, ultimately (and sadly) responsible for this. He knows better of course.
There can hardly be any question now that this is a white supremacist Defense Department. The ghost of Robert E. Lee is happily taking up residence in the Pentagon.—>
“Trump has wrecked it. He has debased the People’s House with the aesthetic sensibilities of a pimp turned bankrupt casino operator and reality television performer, who confuses excess for greatness and spectacle for dignity. It’s appalling.”

Saturday US sources said we were on verge of a deal but it would take a few days because the Iranians are in caves and can't communicate. In the next 48 hours Iran rejected deal, bombed Qatar, and announced they are halting communication with US. Cave wifi must be improving.
.@jamestalarico: I've had a lot of interviews with national media. No one's ever asked me about the cost of housing. No one's asked me about the cost of prescription drugs. The only thing the media wants to ask me about are trans athletes.
The only minority destroying this country is the billionaires. Trans people are 1% of the population. Undocumented people are 1% of the population. We are all focused on the wrong 1%.
Trans people aren't taking away our healthcare. Undocumented people aren't defunding our schools. It's the billionaires and their puppet politicians
Totally worth the pain at the pump though considering all the strategic successes: replacing one Ayatollah with his son, sinking a bunch of Iranian ships that were of no threat to us, & murdering 150 girls with a tomahawk missile
One of the most terrible things we will have to face in the future is learning, one way or another, how many people died in Mariupol in the spring of 2022, when Russia was leveling the city to the ground along with its inhabitants.
Among them were my former classmate and the father of a good friend of mine.
And how many more remain unknown to us, lying in the vast anonymous mass graves on the outskirts of Mariupol, visible even in satellite images.
