Before the whistleblower filed a formal complaint with ICIG, he tried to do it through the CIA’s internal watchdog system. The WH found out and quashed it. So the whistleblower escalated. A revealing story of how fragile the whistblower system is:

If you work at Twitter and see this happening on your platform—leader of the free world hijacking it for destructive lies — you have to ask a lot of hard questions.

The Twitter label on this extremely disturbing tweet is the most milquetoast response possible. We’ve nearly come to the point when anyone using this platform to exchange true information is complicit in a terrible charade. How long can we enable this weak approach by Twitter?

They r kids. They don’t know the sacrifices made by military and their families. That’s why I won’t put them on radio or TV. They are just kids. God knows what I said at 17. Look past them to the issue:We don’t want nutters/fanatics w/ guns. How to prevent consistent w/ 2nd A ?

In February of 2009, NYT stock dipped below $5 a share. today, for the first time, it hit $50 a share. A wonderful vote of confidence from the markets that the company is healthy and thriving.

Stating the utterly obvious here, but congressional testimony driven by staff interviews are massively more effective than show-boating lawmaker-driven interviews.

So far FOURTEEN House Republicans have voted against a bill condemning Anti-Semitism, Anti-Muslim and Other Hatred. Wow. This is going to be hard to explain.

BIG: Acting attorney general has said, in this audio, that Russia did NOT interfere in the US election. That's a false statement. And he now OVERSEES the investigation into that interference.

BREAKING: Here's audio we found of Matthew Whitaker: "The left is trying to sow this theory that essentially Russians interfered with the US election. Which has been proven false. They did not have any impact in the election, that is clear from Obama Admin." #WhitakerMustRecuse

Um, it's not okay for a cable news contributor to ask the EPA administrator for favors like this and still be on TV talking about him. At. All. CC: @MSNBC

Wish more people on Twitter (and off Twitter) lived by these words. “When I say be kind to one another, I don’t mean only the people that think the same way you do. I mean be kind to everyone.”

Good lord! His entire biography appears to be fabricated.

Who Is Rep.-Elect George Santos? His Résumé May Be Largely Fiction. (Published 2022)

Mr. Santos, a Republican from New York, says he’s the “embodiment of the American dream.” But he seems to have misrepresented a number of his career highlights.
