In other words: I was making money shoveling conspiracy bullshit without having any facts and conning my audience to make a buck. After I leave the FBI, I will get back to that.

Sadism is the lifeblood of MAGA politics. Hard to overstate how disgusting and embarrassing for our country it is for the US Secretary of Defense to be doing this:

Just flat-out unabashed racism, not even trying to hide it any more.
Officials prepare immigration operation in Minnesota that would focus on Somali immigrants, source tells AP, as Trump says he doesn't want Somalis in U.S.

This kind of behavior by the Dept. of Justice is destroying the integrity of that department with the Judiciary.
With the Trump administration and some of its lawyers operating at the highest levels of incompetence, dishonesty, and malevolence, many courts no longer presume regularity and are, at least implicitly, presuming the opposite, i.e., procedural irregularity, lies, deception, and pretext.

This should surprise no one. Rampant corruption at the highest level is a core part of today’s MAGA Republican party. And the fish rots from the head down.
🚨 BREAKING: Republicans slipped into the CR, at the last minute, a corrupt January 6th kickback to funnel millions of your taxpayer dollars directly into the bank accounts of 8 GOP Senators. Thanks to Trump, the shameless grift gets worse & worse.
Shutdown deal lets senators sue for $500,000 over data seizures like those in Jan. 6 probe
A provision of shutdown deal authorizes senators to bring lawsuits if federal law enforcement seizes or subpoenas their data without notifying them, with potential damages of $500,000.

Utah has a new congressional map! It's clear that the GOP is terrified of voters actually getting a voice in who represents them in Congress. That's because they know that their record is simply indefensible. With this new map, Utahns will hold them accountable next November.

Remarkable. The cruelty really is the point for this regime. And not just for Trump. For his enablers and supporters as well.
The USDA sent an email to grocery stores telling them they are prohibited from offering special discounts to customers affected by the SNAP funding lapse.
I'm aware of at least 2 stores that had offered struggling customers a discount, then withdrew it after receiving this email

Because of the Republican shutdown, Utah families will stop receiving SNAP benefits on November 1st. This will literally take food off the tables of almost 90,000 Utah families, all because Trump and congressional Republicans won’t come to the table to negotiate.

Well thank goodness a Republican governor has the courage to speak the obvious truth: it’s wrong for the President to send national guard troops to a state to retaliate against his political opponents. If only other GOP Guvs had similar backbone.
Republican Governor of Oklahoma Kevin Stitt condemns the deployment of Texas's National Guard to Illinois.
“Oklahomans would lose their mind if [Gov. JB] Pritzker in Illinois sent troops down to Oklahoma during the Biden administration,” Stitt told The New York Times in an interview.
