It doesn't seem like the FBI investigating a journalist for exposing Patel spending tax $ to have a full-time FBI SWAT team guard his girlfriend will help him achieve his goal of stopping people from finding out he's spending their tax $ on stuff like having an FBI SWAT team guard his girlfriend.
BREAKING NYT:
The FBI began investigating a New York Times reporter last month after she wrote about Kash Patel using bureau personnel to provide his girlfriend with government security and transportation, according to a person briefed on the matter.

It is hard to capture what a sweeping strategic defeat the war in Iran has been for the United States. I’m going to thread here some of the posts today that try to capture those effects. Here’s the first:

The number of US military personnel in the Middle East is only 20% higher than usual, totaling 50,000. During the invasion of Iraq in 2003, there were 500,000. The plan isn't a large-scale ground war - it's special ops raids: www.kenklippenstein.com/p/trump-goes...

When I was like 23 I had a coworker who told me, "would you rather be right or effective" and it rewrote my brain.
And a lot of people on here would rather the moral victory than the practical one.
And frankly, it's gross.

One thing I believe, as a white person, is far too many white people forget the debt that activism in the US owes generally to the Civil Rights movement, and how much the instruments of power that Stephen Miller is trying to extend across the country are those of Jim Crow.
These words demand attention.

I remain absolutely furious that all this shit in Minneapolis started because a barely-literate homeschooled mormon made a video trying to run up in daycare centers trying to find people of Somalian descent doing fraud despite the ringleader (a white woman) being in jail since March. Demonic.
