Perhaps, in hindsight, forcing out the most experienced national security senior executives, and having counterterrorism and counterintelligence agents and analysts spend their time assisting on immigration roundups, might not have been the most well-thought out ideas.

Michael Feinberg embodies FBI’s motto: “fidelity, bravery, integrity.” He did everything right but was pushed out for a friendship with someone on Patel’s “enemies list.” We’re losing our best natl sec experts — all bc the admin is hellbent on personal vendettas.

It's infuriating how 99% of the coverage of this new war doesn't bother to mention that it is happening because we had an agreement to limit and monitor Iran's nuclear program, which even Trump's own aides said was working, and he blew it up because it was negotiated under Obama.

There was no need to federalize the National Guard. There’s surely no need to bring in the Marines. This is all about a weak, despotic man sowing chaos and conflict. He must be opposed and revealed for what he is. www.americaamerica.news/p/pushing-ba...

Why do we even have the confirmation hearings if they lie about what they will do or not do?
RFK Jr.‘s extreme anti-vax views — and his related conflicts of interest — were a huge problem during his confirmation process.
So he promised not to change the vaccine advisory panel.
Today, he fired every single expert on that panel. It's a public health disaster.
