Fannie Mae watchdogs who were removed from their jobs had been probing if Trump appointee Bill Pulte had improperly obtained mortgage records of key Democratic officials, including New York Attorney General Letitia James, according to people familiar with the matter. Fannie’s ethics and investigations group had received internal complaints alleging senior officials had improperly directed staff to access the mortgage documents of James and others, according to the people. The Fannie investigators were probing to find out who had made the orders, whether Pulte had the authority to seek the documents and whether or not they had followed proper procedure, the people said. That group elevated the probe about the James documents to the more senior Office of Inspector General for the Federal Housing Finance Agency, the agency that oversees Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac and that Pulte heads, the people said. The acting inspector general then passed the report to the U.S. attorney’s office in eastern Virginia, some of the people said.

This visualization, "Domestic Deployment of the Military in 2025," updated on November 10, 2025, displays the geographical distribution, scale, and specific legal authority for four categories of domestic military deployments across the United States. Deployment scale is categorized by the size of the circles, representing 800, 3,000, or 8,000 troops. The legal authorities are color-coded as follows: Article II powers (Yellow), Title 10 Chapter 15 (Dark Blue), Title 10 Section 12406 (Cyan), and Title 32 Section 502(f) (State-Controlled National Guard with Federal Funding, Orange).

The U.S. military is being used inside the United States. There's a lot we don't know about how, why, and under what authorities.

Lawfare's new project–which includes a tracker and a map–follows where and how the military is being domestically deployed. www.lawfaremedia.org/projects-ser...

Rhetorical question?

In 2006 a high school English teacher asked students to write to a famous author & ask for advice.

KURT VONNEGUT - born 103yrs ago today - was the only one to respond.

His reply was a doozy.

The problem we have is that most Dem congress members had never before dealt directly with a psychopath, let alone a criminal gang or psychopathic cult. They're hardwired to treat counterparties as logical, good-faith actors.

I've seen this blind spot in judges too. Can't understand it.

When Trump say "entrepreneurs" what he means is "marks." Those marks are his base, and they always have been. It is the core nature of the mark to be unable to recognize his stature and position. That is the backbone of the MAGA movement.

I say this as a general rule. In Baltimore City, Parks & Rec & Housing are functionally the same as DPW. Or at least they were last time I looked.
