Paul Martin, the inspector general for the USAID, has been fired after resisting the administration. Just a day ago, his office released a report warning that staff reductions and spending freezes put hundreds of millions in taxpayer dollars at risk of misuse and waste. This is the way.

📌NOTE: I will drop any press organization that goes along with this Gulf of America bullshit like a bag of dirt.

NYT is trying to get Vol 2 of Jack Smith's report (MAL/Classified Docs) thru FOIA in this lawsuit. DOJ denied the request on 2/5 & NYT is taking an admin appeal of that decision. If (when) they lose, they will come back to the court to try and get the report. s3.documentcloud.org/documents/25...

Bernie Sanders: "They will use the enormous media operations they own to deflect attention away from the impact of their policies while they entertain us to death."

It’s no secret that Chair Powell and I disagree on a lot, but today we agreed: without the CFPB, there is no federal regulator making sure giants banks don't cheat you.

The swamp just gets swampier.

Don't Let Bishop Budde Stand Alone: A Challenge to Every Minister in America. To the Ministers in America,

Besides other horrors, Trumps first acts, withdrawing the USA from the WHO and releasing 1500 violent domestic terrorists is an immediate threat to national security. Blue states should form a coalition to rejoin the WHO. And ban domestic terrorists from travel in their borders. It’s go time.
