Senator Susan "Strongly Worded Letter" Collins [R-ME] gives the Democrats a campaign ad by agreeing to vote for Tulsi Gabbard. Collins is also another great argument for term limits.

Sen. Susan Collins (R-Maine) announced Monday that she will support Tulsi Gabbard to become director of national intelligence (DNI), giving her a key boost in her confirmation push.

Collins was considered a crucial swing vote on the Senate Intelligence Committee, which is set to meet Tuesday afternoon to potentially advance Gabbard toward a floor vote. Last month, Collins had expressed reservations about Gabbard.

But in a statement on Monday, she pointed to Gabbard’s support for reducing the size and scale of the DNI position and said the former Democratic congresswoman had assuaged her concerns about her stance on Edward Snowden.

And the Dems need to be blocking the vote and making sure that NOT ONE OF THEM votes for Gabbard.

Again, I don't trust Fetterman at all any more. A single Dem vote for Kremlin Tulsi will destroy any chance of them using the strategy of shaming the GQP.

Oh look. The new head of USAIDS appointed by Rubio is one Pete Marocco who is among rioters who attacked the Capitol on Jan 6.

And there was never any doubt. And there won't be for the full vote, either.

Just a reminder of why we need an FBI and DOJ that pursues real criminals and not Trump's political enemies:

Yesterday, the FBI raided a pawn shop and arrested a multi-state crime ring that had been breaking into homes, stealing hundreds of thousands of dollars in luxury goods. The criminals were connected to South American criminal groups. Because the crimes were across multiple states and had an international crime connection, the FBI was the only law enforcement agency that would be able to coordinate the investigation and pursue Federal charges.

Ask yourself, "What experience does Kash Patel and Pam Bondi have that would enable them to handle a case as complex as this one?".

Two Individuals Charged With Running a Fencing Operation for South American Theft Groups in Manhattan’s Diamond District

Earlier today, at the federal courthouse in Brooklyn, an indictment was unsealed charging Dimitriy Nezhinskiy and Juan Villar with conspiracy to receive stolen property related to their purchasing of stolen goods that traveled across state lines.

Earlier today, at the federal court in Brooklyn, an indictment was unsealed charging Dimitriy Nezhinskiy and Juan Villar with conspiracy to receive stolen property related to their purchasing of stolen goods that traveled across state lines. The defendants were arrested today, Nezhinskiy in New Jersey and Villar in Manhattan. They will be arraigned tomorrow before United States Magistrate Judge Lara K. Eshkenazi...

As alleged in the indictment, between approximately 2020 and 2025, the defendants conspired with each another and others to receive and purchase stolen property, including jewelry, watches, handbags and assorted luxury items that had been stolen outside of the state of New York and transported into New York. As detailed in court filings, Nezhinskiy and Villar regularly served as “fences” for burglary crews based out of South America who traveled around the United States committing burglaries, typically targeting wealthier neighborhoods or jewelry vendors, and stealing luxury accessories. Nezhinskiy and Villar’s operation provided an essential market for the stolen goods, perpetuating the dangerous criminal activities of the burglary and theft crews composed largely of foreign nationals.

The new regime will not even care about this.

It will be back to the old days where everything stops at a state line.

And if criminals think this will be good for them...just wait until we get to the summary execution without trial in order to speed up 'justice'.

And today's fuck-up. The interim MAGA leadership at the CIA list a list of employees to the White House in an unclassified, unencrypted email. The spy agency doesn't understand that their employee names shouldn't be public. And the guys they hired to spy on China have their names exposed in an email.

And next question... why is the CIA sending employee names to the White House?

C.I.A. Sends White House an Unclassified Email With Names of Some Employees

The list of partial names was provided in an effort to comply with an executive order to trim the federal work force.

www.nytimes.com

The C.I.A. sent the White House an unclassified email listing all employees hired by the spy agency over the last two years to comply with an executive order to shrink the federal work force, in a move that former officials say risked the list leaking to adversaries.

The list included first names and the first initial of the last name of the new hires, who are still on probation — and thus easy to dismiss. It included a large crop of young analysts and operatives who were hired specifically to focus on China, and whose identities are usually closely guarded because Chinese hackers are constantly seeking to identify them.

The agency normally would prefer not to put these names in an unclassified system. Some former officials said they worried that the list could be passed on to a team of newly hired young software experts working with Elon Musk and his government efficiency team. If that happened, the names of the employees might be more easily targeted by China, Russia or other foreign intelligence services.

Apparently, Sec Duffy's comm shop has free time to engage with Hillary:

https://thehill.com/homenews/administration/5130561-hillary-clinton-criticizes-sean-duffy/

“US airlines had gone 16 years without fatal crashes. Then MAGA fired the FAA chief, gutted the Aviation Security Advisory Committee, and threatened air traffic controllers with layoffs,” Clinton said. “Now there have been two fatal crashes.”

“Hope your unvetted 22-year-olds fix things fast,” she said.

On Wednesday, DOGE leader Elon Musk announced that the advisory board will make “rapid safety upgrades” to air traffic control systems.

It cuts out the middleman since Trump would only sell them out to America's enemies for cash anyway like he did in his first term.

One of the first things that Trump did was fire the woman in charge of the Coast Guard. He used the excuse that she wasn't aggressive enough on immigration but then he said that she was "too DEI".

And to make an example of her, he kicked her out of her base housing, even though she had been granted 2 months to find new home. Then they gave her 3 hours notice to get out of her home only 2 weeks into her stay.

You know it's bad when Fox News is reporting on it...

Former Coast Guard commandant evicted from base housing 2 weeks after firing: report

The former commandant of the U.S. Coast Guard, who was terminated from her role last month, was evicted from her admiral quarters home with three hours of notice on Tuesday, according to an NBC report.

Adm. Linda Lee Fagan, the former commandant of the U.S. Coast Guard, who was terminated from her role last month over concerns about issues including the border, recruitment and DEI issues, was evicted from her admiral quarters home with three hours of notice on Tuesday, according to an NBC report citing two people familiar with the incident.

Fagan was fired by the Trump administration on the president’s second day in office. She had been given a 60-day waiver to find new housing but was informed at 2 p.m. Tuesday that she had three hours to leave her home at Joint Base Anacostia Bolling in Washington, D.C., per the report.
