āIn theaterāā¦.wtf, this isnāt Fallujah. Itās where the fāng Twins play.
Q: Can you be specific about how many ICE and Border Patrol agents are currently operating in the state?
HOMAN: 3,000. There's been some rotations. They've been in theater a long time. Day after day, can't eat in restaurants, people spin on you, blowing whistles at you. But my main focus now is draw down

This is Michael Feinberg, a career FBI agent who was driven out of the agency by Kash Patel and Don Bongino. Read his chilling resignation letter below:
In a series of phone calls yesterday, I was informed by you that, because I maintain a friendship with a former FBI executive who is a critic and perceived enemy of the current administration, I will not be receiving any of the promotions for which I am currently being considered, and that I should actually steel myself to be demoted from my present role; additionally, I was informed that I should expect to be polygraphed about the nature of my friendship.Ā Ā Even with these warnings and admonishments, though, it was never explained what policy, procedure, or institutional norm I had supposedly violated other than communicating with someone whom our current management finds politically undesirable.Ā Ā Within five minutes of our last phone call, an email went out to the office removing me as acting SAC in your absence.
It should go without sayingāto anyone who cares about the Constitution and rule of lawāthat this is not right.Ā Our organizationās motto is āFidelity, Bravery, Integrity,ā but over the past six months there have been too many signs that our current leadership does not understand the last of those words. Earlier this year the ranks of our senior executives were decimated by forced retirements, and many others were willing to take their places without voicing concern or dissent.Ā The Department of Justice has been ordered to open cases on individuals solely for having the temerity to say that the 2020 election was not stolen, or for having carried out their lawful duties as state level prosecutors; few people have pushed back.Ā We sacrificed the names of every Special Agent who investigated the events of January 6, 2021, and an entire public corruption squad in our nationās capital was disbanded for having worked on a related matter. Within our own field office, we shirked our national security obligations in order to move personnel to immigration task forces; our area of responsibility does not actually have a significant population of illegal immigrants, but our leaders wanted press release-ready roundups, so we pulled people from congressionally mandated counterterrorism and counterintelligence duties. I could go on.
I recount those events more in sorrow than in anger. I love my country and our Constitution with a fervor that mere language will not allow me to articulate, and it pains me that my profession will no longer entail being their servant. As you know, my wife and I are expecting our first child this summer, and this decision will entail no small degree of hardship for us.Ā But as our organization began to decay, I made a vow that I would comport myself in a manner that would allow me to look my son in the eye as I raised him.Ā It is now apparent that I can no longer both fulfill that vow and continue working for our current leadership.
It has been the honor of a lifetime to protect the American people and uphold the Constitution of the United States.

This hero shut ICE down without raising a finger. At a Miami traffic stop, he refused to let ICE interrogate his passengersādespite threats.
Cool, calm, and legally untouchable.
THIS is how you resist fascism.
I wish I knew his name so I could thank him publicly.

ALERT: In a legal filing this morning, three leaders of the Corporation for Public Broadcasting reveal they were removed last night by the White House Office of Presidential Personnel. The ousted officials are Tom Rothman, Diane Kaplan and Laura Ross... and were all appointed by President Biden
The three are asking a judge to intervene to restore them to their positions at the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, arguing the President does not have the authority to remove officials from the organization

I am shocked and offended that I even have to state this publicly, but I am proud to do so:

Whatās the story here, and how could this possibly make sense?
Firing the scientists who maintain the National Plant Germplasm System jeopardizes 127 years of agricultural genetic preservation.
This system safeguards 600,000+ crop varieties that serve as America's agricultural insurance policy against emerging plant diseases and other unforeseen threats to crop production.
The NPGS costs 0.000008% of the federal budget while insuring a $1.5 trillion food system.
When stem rust threatened global wheat supplies in 1999, these collections provided the resistant genes that prevented widespread crop failure.
Similar genetic resources from the bank generate $91+ million annually for the apple industry alone.

Heads up! The Social Security commissioner is consulting with the Justice Department about shutting down the agency. āThis move would immediately begin halting benefits payments for millions of Americans.ā This app appears to be throttling posts with links, so Iāll try words.

Hereās a visual representation of all NWS stations no longer putting out 12z/00z soundings (red) and stations restricted to soundings once per day. (Orange).
The Midwest is not going to get crucial weather information this spring. NWS Omaha had tornado outbreaks last spring.

DOGE showed up at the Institute of Museum and Library Services, which fund libraries and museums.. They sent employees home, swore in a new acting director in the lobby, and proceeded to cancel contracts and grants..
DOGE has the power to swear in government officials?
