The FBI has recently used polygraph tests to ask senior employees if they have said anything negative about FBI Director Kash Patel or had spoken to the media.
Separately, Patel granted waivers to Deputy Director Dan Bongino and two other staffers, exempting them from passing polygraph exams.

It's unsettling how many people fell for the claim that an administration that hires open Nazi sympathizers and does a bunch of Nazi-like stuff is "fighting antisemitism."
Some want to believe, agreeing with the regime's anti-free-speech and anti-academic freedom goals. But some just fell for it.

The IRS is reportedly not offering its Direct File program next year. Here’s a look back at how TurboTax owner Intuit spent two decades fighting to prevent Americans from filing their taxes online for free:
