    In a new message to the FBI workforce, Kash Patel just said he will "always have your backs." But Patel's first moments inside the FBI building sent the opposite message:

    All support personnel who worked in the FBI director's office were told to pack their desks and leave before Patel arrived. https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/donald-trump/live-blog/trump-executive-orders-cabinet-expands-live-updates-rcna193104/rcrd73508

    RFK Jr. didn’t waste any time abusing his role as HHS Secretary. His campaign is sending fundraising emails using the official HHS seal to pay off his massive debt to billionaire Gavin de Becker. https://www.bostonglobe.com/2025/02/21/nation/rfk-jr-fundraising-email-health-department-seal/?event=event12

    Rubio sought to reassure EU allies that the talks did NOT represent an abrupt departure from current American policies even as Trump echoed Putin’s rhetoric, calling Zelensky a dictator and blaming Ukraine for the war.

    Alt National Park Service: “Operation Whirlwind”

    What’s Happening Now?
    In 2025, Operation Whirlwind was launched under Interim U.S. Attorney Ed Martin to investigate alleged threats against employees of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). Initially framed as a national security measure, the operation quickly took aim at Congress over past remarks deemed threatening. 🧵 (1/4)

    Staffing at the HUD office that pays for housing and support services across the country is slated to be cut by 84%. Advocates warn such heavy cuts could make record-high homelessness even worse.

    Mike Lee (R-Utah) introduced the DEFUND bill to not only exit the United Nations (UN), also to never allow the US to re-enter, and to never engage in future talks/agreements with the UN. Not only is this devastating to the world, but a huge step to full dictator, borders closed, North Korea/China behavior. 🧵1/2

    Ummm it was Twin Peaks...probably not a lot of Valentine's dinners happening ;)

    But yes, probably busy nonetheless.

    I think if trump and his team are really committed to being anti-vaccine, they should all disclose what vaccinations they have had and what vaccinations their kids/grandkids have had.  I know

    It's not necessary to disassemble Dodd Frank to neuter the Bureau.  Vought will be driving both exam and enforcement.  So no exams, the no enforcement.  You don't need to repeal the law to eliminate its effectiveness.

    The FAA is awarding a new contract to Elon Musk’s SpaceX to help manage US airspace.

    This is on top of the tens of billions of dollars in federal government contracts that Musk’s companies have already secured.

    The effort raises questions about conflicts of interest for Musk’s business empire and the future of a $2 billion contract awarded in 2023 to Verizon Communications Inc. to upgrade the critical infrastructure.

    Hundreds of workers at the CDC. More than 1,000 at the NIH. Scores of staffers at the FDA.

    Trump’s purge of federal employees includes those doing lifesaving work. Many of them expressed fear at what would happen to the projects they left behind: https://propub.li/4biVkP2

    The politicization of the FAA continues with reality TV star Sean Duffy now threatening professional pilots with certificate action.

    The Pilot in Command is responsible for the safety of the flight. Not ATC. The PIC has the authority to deviate from ATC instructions in the name of safety. The blanket threat of certificate action WILL make pilots question their instincts in the moment where critical decisions must be made.

    More bluster, ignorance, and arrogance from this know-nothing DEI hire
