BREAKING: FBI Director accused of BLOWING UP a sealed terror probe with one reckless social media post.

Kash Patel just may have SABOTAGED an active counterterrorism investigation into a drone plot against the White House — because he couldn't resist posting about it on social media first.

According to MS Now's Ken Dilanian, Secret Service officials are FURIOUS that the FBI director prematurely announced details of a SEALED, ONGOING criminal investigation into a plot to attack this weekend's UFC event with drones — and possibly snipers — on the White House South Lawn.

Here's why this is so dangerous: at the time Patel ran to social media to brag, the case was sealed in court and roughly TEN suspects had NOT yet been arrested. The Secret Service and FBI had been working the case together, and had planned to make more arrests, unseal the case later that afternoon, and issue a JOINT statement.

Patel torched all of it for a Twitter post.

"We all woke up this morning to see this on Twitter," one stunned administration official said.

The plot was uncovered when a relative of one suspect contacted Cincinnati-area police, reporting their family member was talking about a vague plot in DC. A Secret Service threat team, with FBI help, subpoenaed an encrypted Signal chat and identified the conspirators discussing drones and snipers. One suspect was arrested June 13th, and the case was IMMEDIATELY sealed so investigators could find and arrest the others.

Then Patel blew the operation wide open.

Secret Service Deputy Director Matt Quinn called Patel out at a Tuesday news conference — pointedly without naming him: "I learned early in my career a phrase: 'Don't choke on your own smoke.'" Quinn emphasized the Secret Service "led that investigation from the beginning" and that they "chose NOT to leak it" to protect the investigation's integrity.

In other words, the FBI director endangered a terror probe and roughly ten un-arrested suspects to feed his own ego.

This is the same Patel accused of running a secret FBI slush fund to pay bonuses to MAGA loyalists, partying at the Olympics, and snorkeling over war graves. And now he can't keep a sealed terror case off Twitter.

The man is a danger to national security — all because of an overly inflated ego (to match his boss’s) and a disturbing lack of maturity and competence.

Please like and share if you think the FBI needs a new director with some actual law enforcement experience!

@truestorybro77 @OccupyDemocrats No, not new. However, the boast is that he FIXED the problem. You can't have it both ways. It is fixed, or it is not.

BREAKING: The president of the Oglala Sioux Tribe demands that ICE immediately release three tribal members who are being illegally held at an ICE facility in Minnesota.

Now MAGA wants you to believe that Native Americans are somehow "illegal" immigrants...

“The Oglala Sioux Tribe’s memorandum makes clear that ‘tribal citizens are not aliens’ and are ‘categorically outside immigration jurisdiction,’" Star Comes Out, leader of the South Dakotan tribe stated. “Enrolled tribal members are citizens of the United States by statute and citizens of the Oglala Sioux Nation by treaty.”

The four tribal members in question were reportedly detained at a homeless encampment in Minnesota last week. Three of them were then transferred to an ICE facility at Fort Snelling while one was released.

“The irony is not lost on us,” said Frank Star Comes Out. “Lakota citizens who are reported to be held at Fort Snelling—a site forever tied to the Dakota 38+2—underscores why treaty obligations and federal accountability matter today, not just in history.”

The "Dakota 38+2" refers to the 38 Dakota men who were publicly hanged in 1862 in Minnesota in the largest mass execution in U.S. history.

“It has this really notorious anti-Indigenous, specifically anti-Dakota, history. It’s kind of like a continuation on the monopoly of violence from the military outpost to the ICE facility," Nick Estes, an associate professor in American Indian Studies, said of Fort Snelling.

Star Comes Out sent a memo to DHS Secretary Kristi Noem to inform her that her agency refused to release information about the detainees unless the tribe "entered into an immigration agreement with ICE.” In other words, DHS is trying to use these men as bargaining chips to encroach on tribal sovereignty. Star Comes Out stated that the tribe will not be entering into such an agreement.

Star Comes Out is demanding information on the three men still in detention and the release of all tribal citizens in ICE custody. He has also requested a meeting between the tribe and the administration.

This shameful incident lays bare the ugly truth about Trump's "immigration enforcement." This was never about upholding the law (something which our felon president has flouted his entire life). This was always about seizing more power with brutal boots on the ground and targeting nonwhite people.

Nobody has more of right to be in this country than Native Americans. Trump must immediately free these detainees and make restitution.

Please ❤️ and share to demand their release!

BREAKING: Governor Tim Walz brings down the hammer after an ICE agent kills a woman in Minneapolis and preps the National Guard to evict Trump's goons from the state.

This is the kind of leadership that the moment demands!

"From here on, I have a very simple message. We do not need any further help from the federal government. To Donald Trump and Kristi Noem: You've done enough," Walz announced.

"There's nothing more important than Minnesotans' safety," he continued. "I've issued a warning order to prepare the Minnesota National Guard. We have soldiers in training and prepared to be deployed if necessary."

"I remind you, a warning order is a heads-up for folks, and these National Guard troops are our National Guard troops," Walz said. "They're teachers in your community. They're business owners. They're construction professionals. They are Minnesotans."

"Minnesota will not allow our community to be used as a prop in a national political fight. We will not take the bait," he added.

Walz's order represents the initial step necessary to deploy the Guard. It means the troops will begin checking crucial equipment and calling the men and women who could be soon activated.

Additionally, Walz activated Minnesota's Emergency Operation Center which helps state, local, and federal agencies coordinate their responses.

The announcement comes after horrifying footage flooded social media showing an ICE officer shooting a woman through her car window as she was attempting to drive off. The woman, a U.S. citizen, was killed.

Noem and Trump have already rushed to smear the woman by claiming that she was trying to run the ICE officers over with her vehicle. Trump absurdly wrote on Truth Social that the woman was "obviously" a "professional agitator." In truth, this tragedy would have never happened if Trump hadn't invaded these communities with his fascist enforcers.

Please ❤️ and share if you stand with Tim Walz!

BREAKING: Donald Trump gets jaw-dropping news as the entire 12-person Fulbright Scolarship board quits in protest due to the MAGA administration's illegal political interference in their operations.

This is an academic bombshell of historic proportions...

"Effective immediately, members of the Congressionally mandated Fulbright Foreign Scholarship Board voted overwhelmingly to resign from the board, rather than endorse unprecedented actions that we believe are impermissible under the law, compromise U.S. national interests and integrity, and undermine the mission and mandates Congress established for the Fulbright program nearly 80 years ago," the board wrote in its official statement.

The Fulbright scholarship program is one of our nation's most prestigious and helps fund foreign exchanges for brilliant American students while bringing distinguished foreign scholars, students, and artists to the United States.

The program is technically overseen by the State Department which is currently run by spineless MAGA hatchet man Marco Rubio. According to the board, this administration has "usurped the authority" afforded to them.

The State Department canceled roughly 200 scholarships for American researchers to work abroad, constituting a gross overreach of power in pursuit of partisan right-wing aims. An additional 1,200 scholarships to foreign nationals are currently under review.

"We believe these actions not only contradict the statute but are antithetical to the Fulbright mission and the values, including free speech and academic freedom, that Congress specified in the statute," the board wrote.

"It is worth noting that the awards that were overridden include studies in categories such as biology, engineering, architecture, agriculture, crop sciences, animal sciences, biochemistry, medical sciences, music, and history," they added.

The insinuation of Trump's ideology into the Fulbright program is part of a broader agenda to undermine academia, promote ignorance, and foment xenophobia.

The State Department's public diplomacy office sent rejection letters to scholars based on MAGA aversion to their research topics. Not coincidentally, the diplomacy office is run by suspected white nationalist Darren Beattie, who has stated that "competent white men must be in charge if you want things to work."

According to The New York Times, the board was also understandably concerned about Rubio's budget proposal which would gut funding for the Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs from $691 million to $50 million. The Fulbright program falls under said Bureau.

"Our resignation is not a decision we take lightly. But to continue to serve after the Administration has consistently ignored the Board’s request that they follow the law would risk legitimizing actions we believe are unlawful and damage the integrity of this storied program and America’s credibility abroad," the board wrote.

"Indeed, the erosion of the Fulbright program weakens America and our national security interests. Institutions and the rule of law matter and have distinguished our country for almost 250 years. As a Board, we are proud of our stewardship of the program, the way we’ve worked to uphold its mission, integrity, and adherence to the law," they continued.

"It is our sincere hope that Congress, the courts, and future Fulbright Boards will prevent the administration’s efforts to degrade, dismantle, or even eliminate one of our nation’s most respected and valuable programs. Injecting politics and ideological mandates into the Fulbright program violates the letter and spirit of the law that Congress so wisely established nearly eight decades ago," they concluded.

Please retweet and ❤️ if you think that the Fulbright Scholarship program should be free of MAGA interference!
