U.S. intelligence, law enforcement candidates face Trump loyalty test
Candidates for top intelligence and law enforcement jobs were asked to give “yes” or “no” responses to questions such as: Was Jan. 6 “an inside job?”
Having senior law enforcement candidates respond to whether or not they believe the 2020 election was stolen or if the J6 insurrection is an "inside job" is dangerous. These jobs shouldn't be conditioned on partisan stances. but Trump has always prioritized loyalty above all else.

'The American people elected Donald J. Trump to be President of the United States and gave him a mandate to increase the impact of every federal taxpayer dollar.

Career and political appointees in the Executive Branch have a duty to align Federal spending and action with the will of the American people as expressed through Presidential priorities. Financial assistance should be dedicated to advancing Administration priorities, focusing taxpayer dollars to advance a stronger and safer America, eliminating the financial burden of inflation for citizens, unleashing American energy and manufacturing, ending wokeness" and the weaponization of government, promoting efficiency in government, and Making America Healthy Again.

People on my town FB page are like "DID YOU FEEL THAT EARTHQUAKE?!" and I didn't notice anything. I suppose that's a good thing? Or maybe I'm just oblivious when I'm focused on writing (aka browsing the web).

Very disappointing, but not altogether surprising given other actions taken by the current administration at NIH, CDC, etc.
