Former whistleblower from TX; resigned as part of a mediated settlement agreement; posted resume which got me a consulting job in DC. Intended to retire back to TX but I ended up buying a lovely rowhouse in 2008 which has allowed me to stay out here.❤️

Dept. of Defense shoots down Customs and Border Protection drone near El Paso: Officials Ranking members of the House Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure released a statement on the incident on Thursday.

This is how screwed up everything is. The DOD shot down a CBP drone which cause the FAA to shut down the airspace around El Paso. We have stupid idiots in all levels of all agencies thanks to this Regime.
If we go to war, GOD help us.

MAGA’s Reaction to the Epstein Files Reveals Total Moral Collapse The right’s moral charade was always going to be undone by the Trump of it all.

‘Republicans said they would vote for Trump even if he were “officially implicated in sex trafficking.” Crime is legal where right-wingers are concerned.At least for themselves. The right has morals when it comes to Black folks, immigrants and trans people.’

It’s been two weeks since ICE took Yuanxin Zheng from his father. He is six years old. He’s still not home. This has to end.

National parks change prioritizes Trump birthday over days honoring Black people Free entrance days at national parks no longer include MLK Day and Juneteenth.

Americans will no longer get free entry to federal parks on Martin Luther King Day.

They will, however, on Trump’s June 14 birthday.

Literally the sort of thing dictators do.

National Park Service drops free admission on MLK Day & Juneteenth, while adding free admission on Trump's birthday.

This timeline is 70% unnecessarily violent. 30% unnecessarily absurd.

100% unbelievable.

1/ The US National Park Service has for the first time made access to its parks free on June 14, explicitly tying it to Donald Trump's birthday. The inauguration of a public celebration of the leader's birthday marks a very significant step on the road to authoritarianism in the US. ⬇️

Donald Trump just removed Martin Luther King Jr. Day and Juneteenth from the list of free entry days at national parks.

They are being replaced with Trump’s birthday.

Becoming a U.S. citizen takes years and involves immigrants acquiring a green card, extensive interviews, background checks, classes and a citizenship test. The naturalization ceremony is the final step to the process, where the oath of allegiance and a citizenship certificate are granted.
Immigrants approved to be naturalized went to Faneuil Hall Thursday - known as the country's cradle of liberty - for that long-awaited moment to pledge allegiance to the United States. But instead, as they lined up, some were told by U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services officials that they couldn't proceed due to their countries of origin.

According to a new study, members of Congressional leadership perform 47% better in stock market trades than their rank-and-file peers, thanks to access to nonpublic information.

Today would be a great day to ban ALL elected officials from trading stock, don't you think?

BERMAN: Would it be legal for police in Arkansas to kill suspected drug dealers on a boat in a lake?

TOM COTTON: The premise of your question is not well-founded


BERMAN: The answer is no. It would not be legal to kill them.

Tell Congress: Support discharge petition to force vote on ACA tax credits Contact Congress today!

Since we can’t ever expect Mike Johnson to do the right thing, we’re forcing a vote on extending ACA tax credits. And we only need four more members to sign the petition to make it happen.

Help us move the needle!

They obviously have diligently been looking for ways to distract from the Epstein files, but I never imagined that they would stoop so low as to commit “no quarter” murders.

On the other hand, where are we on the Epstein files?

I’ll start:

Weekends off
Paid vacations
Work breaks
Sick leave
Paid holidays
No child labor
Safer working conditions
Health care and retirement benefits
