The unthinkable has happened. DOJ lawyers in RI are under federal judicial scrutiny for misconduct, and the longstanding “presumption of regularity” is lost.

2/ This paragraph nails it:

“The appointment of an ill-suited Acting Director could materially harm U.S. national security. Any prioritization of political considerations over strategic imperatives cedes advantage to our adversaries. So do errors of judgment arising from insufficient expertise. Our men and women in uniform rely upon the quality and integrity of intelligence gathered and analyzed by the eighteen agencies under the Director’s jurisdiction. With U.S. forces engaged in active operations abroad, there is no margin for error.”

Extraordinary Letter.

Points to Bill Pulte appointment as national security danger.

"The undersigned include twenty-eight former service secretaries and retired general and flag officers who
collectively served under every president from John F. Kennedy to Joseph R. Biden, Jr"

GOP Senators dunked on the Trump slush fund all week

But they didn’t vote to support the overnight amendments that would’ve killed the fund

[Kyle Griffin @kylegriffin1]

Trump's Department of Homeland Security has awarded more than $19.4 billion in border wall contracts in the past six months — compared with $2.1 billion from 2016 to 2024.

Most of it has gone to two firms that have ties to the White House and the Republican Party, according to a Washington Post analysis.

“I was only following orders” only gets you just so far.

Literally as the Republican House cut these food benefits, Republican Senators were eating lobster for lunch.

Ossoff: Last September, the President of Kazakhstan calls Donald Trump and says he wants to grant tungsten mining rights to an American company. And the very next month, Eric and Don Jr. get a stake in the American company pursuing the mining deal.

Six days later, six days after Prince Eric and Prince Don get their stake, Kazakhstan announces this company will get, “The largest known undeveloped tungsten resource in the world.” A few more weeks go by, and then the U.S. government, run by their father, sets aside 1.6 billion of your tax dollars to fund and finance their mining project. In Kazakhstan.

All this while you pay more for gas, for groceries, for health care, and that's just the tip of the iceberg.

[Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal]

Cruelty is the point. Thanks to this brave whistleblower’s disclosure, we have more evidence that the Trump Admin used DOGE not just to recklessly slash government programs—they were looking for ways to purposefully hurt people, especially immigrants. https://t.co/r4pm8acAAz

Exclusive: (gift) The Palm Beach Cop who Jeffrey Epstein Couldn't Stop
“He was just a police chief of a small town up against a powerful man. Had the system listened to him, Epstein would have been cut off a long time earlier.”

This is an insane story. The DOGE whistleblower who said that login attempts were made to the NLRB from Russian IP addresses minutes after DOGE got access had his brake lines cut and photos of him walking his dog from a drone taped to his door after Musk attacked him on Twitter

[Chris Murphy 🟧 @ChrisMurphyCT]

There were multiple votes tonight to make the $1.8 billion cop beater fund illegal and Republicans blocked every single one, paving the way for Trump to resuscitate his slush fund.

[Joyce Alene @JoyceWhiteVance]

This is remarkable. Trump is giving Pulte, who lacks the statutory qualification (national security expertise) for the DNI job the position so they can manufacture another stolen election charge, or perhaps try to justify halting them altogether. It’s out in the open.

[Patrick Skinner @SkinnerPm]

There are no checks and balances. Even after the fake harrumph about the blatantly illegal president slush fund, the senate kept it in. And also a blank 70 billion dollar check to an unrestrained militarized immigration scam complex.
There are no checks and balances. None

On Saturday, while covering a protest at Delaney Hall for the AP, Angelina Katsanis' camera bag went missing.

Inside was $10K worth of gear, her biz cards and an Airtag -- which soon began to ping from home of a NJ sergeant. He's now facing charges.
