Kash Patel’s use of jet delayed FBI team’s mass shooting response, whistleblower tells top senator Sen. Richard Durbin says FBI director’s β€œmisplaced priorities” led to the delayed response to the Brown University shooting in December.

Breaking MS NOW:

Agents with the FBI's elite evidence response team were delayed in reaching the scene of a mass shooting at Brown U. in December because there was no FBI plane available.

Kash Patel was in south Florida at the time with one of the FBI's two available jets.

@radiofreetom.bsky.social on his former party's evolution into a "safe space" for "degenerates." One factor: "Years of racial pandering had created a too-big tent, enlarged in the name of electoral expediency, that offered dark corners for despicable ideologies." Then, Trump put out the welcome mat.

Report: Staff at Dilley raiding cells to confiscate kids' letters and drawings detailing conditions inside

ProPublica published children's letters and drawings documenting their sadness and suffering at Dilley. And Dilley staff are now retaliating by confiscating kids' letters and drawings.

CBS Surrenders to Trump The network tried to bury an interview critical of Trump. Stephen Colbert made it an indictment of the administration’s assaults on the First Amendment.

CBS didn't want you to see a Stephen Colbert interview. Colbert published it anyway.

β€œIf Jeff Bezos no longer supports that mission, then The Post and its readers deserve a steward who does.”

That’s something the entire NewsGuild-CWA stands behind.

Seriously, @people.com has been meeting the moment better than 90% of publications with direct reporting and crystal clear headlines.

This is a good way for the low-information voters who are usually detached from the news cycle to get turned around.

The 4 amendments: "Protect abortion rights, restore voting rights for people with felony convictions, remove a defunct ban on same-sex marriage," and redraw US House maps in a way that could "yield as many as 10 D-leaning districts" out of 11 total. πŸ™ Virginia.

Don’t stay at the Bohemian Hotel in Savannah while renovations are going on & scaffolding is up. River view? Constant drilling noise - worse than being at the dentist’s. A Marriott Hotel. Shame on them

All promised after January 6, 2021 to stop funding lawmakers who tried to overturn the 2020 election.

And all have broken that promise.

The Epstein Files Transparency Act is a law, passed by Congress on November 19 with an overwhelming vote. Complying with it was not optional. The Department of Justice did not comply.

I want to make sure this is very clear.
