FBI director Patel used a goven't jet to see his gf sing the national anthem at a wrestling match.

His response. Fire the person responsible for revealing it.

Flight logs show there was a flight to the location and Patel posting pics of him and his gf there.

Wait, did they edit an interview? Did they not air every second?

I heard that’s grounds for a multimillion lawsuit

I see that CBS chose not to air this part. It probably explains much of what they did decide to air.

Donald Trump has wielded power as no previous president has, often in open defiance of the law. His actions have raised a chilling question.

You can't make this up.
Another host, Eugene Daniels, asked Mr. Cuomo what he meant by diversity being a “weakness.” “Diversity can be a weakness if you have antipathy among groups, Jonathan,” Mr. Cuomo said, mistaking Mr. Daniels for his co-host Jonathan Capehart, both of whom are Black.

WE FOUND THE WASTE, FRAUD, AND ABUSE:

FBI Director Kash Patel used a $60 million government jet for a booty call during the shutdown.

Not the first time. In April, he made multiple trips to Nashville to see his 26-year-old country-singer girlfriend and even flew her around to hockey games.

When I told a friend about this she said, “but that’s when I get all my deals…”

My response… what will you do when there are no deals, no food, no jobs, no homes…?

Last year, Andrew Cuomo brought in nearly $5 million for "consulting."

We don't know who paid him.

Or who he now owes.

The federal government keeps labeling everyone they go after as cartel members — and it keeps being proven false. These are the same people we’re supposed to trust when they execute people at sea under that very justification?

Jeff Bezos contributed millions to Trump ( who solicited money from billionaire oligarchs) for that ballroom.

Two things are sure:

Bezos & wife will dance in that ballroom.
Regular Americans will never be invited

They actually said "Bottom line, the well has run dry," the U.S. Department of Agriculture said in a post on its website. "At this time, there will be no benefits issued November 01."

WTAF? Is it empty because of $40B to Argentina, w jets for Noem, a Qatari jet retrofit or the inflated golf trips?

@pkeough1.bsky.social writes that Guillermo del Toro's #Frankenstein2025 is, like some other realizations of longtime cinema dreams, alternately magnificent, stunning, provocative, over-produced, exhausting, and fatuous.

Hide your pets from ICE because not only that they love killing people but also, animals. Make sure to learn some form of self defense to protect yourselves, families, and pets! Put locks on your doors and use door stoppers to help keep them out. Try setting up traps around your home to deter them.

The @nytimes rightly taking heat for burying coverage of the massive protests in tiny pics below the fold on the cover and the story on page 23 — while saying they drew “thousands” (it was millions) and glazing Vance’s marines stunt.

What’s going on in there?

As a reminder to everyone, a key part of the Bari Weiss origin story is her livetweeting editorial meetings.
In the institutions she critiques she treats leakers (including herself) as principled dissenters. In the institutions she controls, she expects loyal silence.
