Pam Bondi is disbanding the Foreign Influence Task Force - the FBI team that is charged with combatting foreign meddling in US elections.
Worth asking how this makes us more safe in any way, shape, or form.

I am really frustrated that the press is discussing the destruction of USAID as something that has happened rather than an illegal action that will likely be undone in two weeks when courts tell the world that it was illegal.

Let me say this clearly. The tariffs are a money grab. Less money in the hands of the American people due to the new 25% tax on goods. More money to distribute to his cronies in the form of tax cuts.
See how it works?

Curious that word of Trump firing inspectors general came a couple hours after the razor-close Senate vote on Hegseth. Patron saint of IGs, Chuck Grassley, told us in Nov. he'd defend them and Trump shouldn't oust them en masse www.politico.com/news/2024/11...
Could Trump sideline government watchdogs? Some are already quitting.
The president-elect’s allies have called for a wholesale replacement of the more than 70 inspectors general across the federal government.
