The Washington Post can confirm that Gen. Tim Haugh, the director of NSA and chief of U.S. Cyber Command, was ousted tonight along with his deputy, Wendy Noble.

That's a big damn deal. CYBERCOM is one of the 11, four-star unified combatant commands.

At his meeting with the remaining members of the public integrity section on Friday, Bove said that he and Bondi wanted two people in the unit to sign a motion asking the judge to dismiss the Adams case, and that their jobs would depend on it, according to multiple people briefed on the session who spoke on the condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss it. Those not in the building participated by calling in on a conference line, two of the people said.

Bove left the group alone to discuss how its members wished to proceed, saying he wanted an answer quickly, the people briefed on the matter said. One attorney present told a colleague at Justice that the discussion was “gut-wrenching” and “not anything any of us ever expected to see in America,” the colleague told The Washington Post. At first, the lawyers agreed they would all resign rather than endorse the dismissal of the Adams corruption case, two people briefed on the session said. But then Sullivan, who is nearing retirement, proposed that he could sign the motion, to avoid a mass firing of prosecutors and allow his colleagues time to seek jobs elsewhere, these people said. The group agreed to accept Sullivan’s offer. But some were upset, believing that their section could still face retaliation and that it would be more principled for everyone to refuse to seek to drop the charges.

A grim scene this afternoon as Emil Bove faced down lawyers from DOJ’s Public Integrity Section.

One said it was “not anything any of us ever expected to see in America.”

Any news outlet reporting Mexico conceded anything to Trump to get him to delay tariffs has not done its homework.
Trump boasts he got Mexico to commit to stationing 10K troops at our border. Apparently he didn't realize Mexico already has 15K troops deployed there

hard to exaggerate how nuts the engagement is on Bluesky compared to 𝕏. a vastly smaller user base (at least officially), but just look at these stats for one of the biggest newspapers on Earth. Musk has absolutely trashed the platform. folks, you are not locked in on 𝕏. not even a little.
