The FBI As We Knew It is Gone It took a hundred years to create the Bureau as we knew it. And it took one dinner at the White House to destroy it.

I know we have seen a lot of agencies being hobbled and dismantled over the last six months. But the coup happening at the FBI should worry you the most asharangappa.substack.com/p/the-fbi-as...

A strongly worded statement that isn't even strongly worded. I was hoping a sitting US Senator might be able to do more than that.

If you’re wondering how ICE recruitment and training is going under Kristi Noem—South Park already nailed it.

Why you might not know that 2024 was America's safest year since the 1960s An overwhelming majority of Americans, 64 percent, believe that crime increased across the country in 2024, according to a Gallup survey conducted late last year.

1. This week, the FBI released its comprehensive crime report for 2024, which revealed that both VIOLENT CRIME and PROPERTY CRIME reached their LOWEST LEVELS SINCE THE 1960s

This a massive story. But you might not have heard about it, even if you follow the news closely.

Here's why.

HOW MUCH WILL YOUR SCHOOL DISTRICT LOSE? Federal budget cuts to public education will eliminate afterschool and summer programs, arts and technology classes, teachers, emergency preparedness, mental health services, and more. Search for your state and school district to see how much your child’s education will be impacted. DES MOINES INDEPENDENT COMMUNITY SCHOOL DISTRICT will lose $8,175,391 in federal funding.

You can use this tool to find out just how much funding your local district (or any district in the country) will be losing in the new federal budget:

In 2016, Ghislaine Maxwell falsely stated, under oath, that she was not aware that Jeffrey Epstein recruited underage girls for sex (you know, the ones she was actually recruiting on his behalf). She was charged with two counts of perjury for this.

Remind me why we give a shit what she says now?

Naz has been impressive. She deserves her starting role. BG can only play limited minutes anyway.

Yep

Why use a pic of a bench player? (She doesn't start if CC is available.) Not the leading scorer, not the leading rebounder, not the leader in assists? It's a mystery. 🤷🏻‍♀️

It's the answer for pretty much everything T does these days: Release the Epstein files. He's desperate for a distraction.

Yep. That. ☝🏻

Yep. Neon green.

Oxford comma is all that keeps society from descending into chaos. It's only optional if the end of humanity is optional. 😜

Maybe those who didn't mind having US citizens detained accidentally should have been asked if they minded if that person was them. I suspect their answer would've changed.

South Park depicting Trump in bed as Satan's lover is clearly a callback to when they showed Saddam Hussein in the same role. The message seems to be that both men will be remembered by history as evil, but also ridiculous depots.

You forgot "racist"

I dipped into Studbudz for a few minutes yesterday, caught that, and then promptly dipped out. This is not the time for conversations with people who want us dead

For Thousands of 9/11 Survivors in NC, Health Care Is Under Threat Cuts to a key federal program threaten the health care of thousands of 9/11 survivors— including many who retired to North Carolina.

Right now, the the program faces a $3 billion shortfall and more than $1.2 billion in cuts because of a federal restructuring of the Department of Health and Human Services included in the recently passed “big beautiful” budget and reconciliation bill.

Sad day for UNC faculty, students, and alums.

MAGABetas love punching down and mocking the vulnerable, but they can’t stand it when the writers - who are known for targeting everyone - come for them. Because they’re exactly the crybaby bitches that Parker and Stone have long mocked.

Embarrassing to be a UNC grad. 🫤

Yep. Studbudz won the weekend!

Republicans shrug off laundry list of scandals, advance Emil Bove’s judicial nomination Bove is arguably the single-most controversial circuit court nominee in modern American history. Republicans on the Senate Judiciary Committee didn’t care.

Just make sure you put it in the bag long before you get near the protest site and don't take it out until you're far away. Otherwise, too little, too late.

Argh. I hate when the game is on Amazon.

“.. Noem didn’t authorize FEMA’s deployment of Urban Search and Rescue teams until Monday, more than 72 hours after the flooding began, multiple sources told CNN.”

Jim Spencer, well-known Central Texas weatherman social media post: “I know some of my responses in the post below may sound out of character for me, but I woke up at 3 a.m. haunted by dreams of those kids-and after reading a few of the comments, I felt the need to respond, especially to the personal attacks. To those accusing me of "politicizing a tragedy," please: read the post again. There is nothing political about asking hard questions when more than 70 lives have been lost. Holding public officials accountable isn't partisanship. It's journalism. If seeking the truth is now considered "political," that says more about our broken discourse than it does about me. And enough with the "too soon" crowd. Too soon? Let me remind you-a teenage boy swept away in the 2007 Cow Creek flood was never found. Two little girls disappeared in the 2015 Wimberley flood and have still never been found. How long exactly should we wait to ask why this happened? This is news. It's unfolding now. Parents are grieving now. People are looking for answers now. If I were the parent of one of those missing children, I would demand those answers immediately. Silence doesn't honor the dead-it protects the status quo. I'm shaken by this whole thing, and if anything I've said came off as harsh, I'm sorry. But I won't apologize for doing what journalists are supposed to do: shine a light when others would rather look away. And just so we're clear-these are my opinions. Not KXAN-TV's. Mine alone.”

“If seeking the truth is now considered 'political', that says more about our broken discourse than it does about me."

A well-known central TX weatherman posted about the willful negligence of officials to prevent the floods. Then—MAGA came for him in the comments.

We applaud him for his response.
