Records show the Air Force Academy dismantling diversity programs and reshaping curriculum under Trump’s agenda as Erika Kirk prepares to join the board, critics warn of a shift toward Christian nationalist ideology @theintercept.com theintercept.com/2026/03/19/a...

The academy’s oversight board records show leaders dismantling DEI to align with Trump directives. Critics warn the military is becoming “a Christian nationalist praetorian guard.”

Goodbye, Kristi.

More strong reporting by @nickturse.bsky.social on the spread of Christian nationalist rhetoric within military ranks. In my own reporting on these communities, active-duty service members have concerns about this kind of language appearing. The military serves people of all faiths.

Kristi Noem is out as DHS Secretary. For months I’ve been reporting on ICE operations in Minnesota — shootings, alleged phone cloning, and now agents identifying and following legal observers toward their homes. Latest investigation with @theintercept.com theintercept.com/2026/03/05/i...

Immigration authorities in Minnesota have identified legal observers by name and address, and in some cases showed up at their homes.

“This is an introduction of U.S. forces into hostilities. It absolutely triggers the 48-hour notice requirement.”

My latest reporting shows a pattern of individuals all detained after the homicide of Alex Pretti that experienced the same abuses during their arrest and detention.

Asked about an ICE ad featuring the song “We’ll Have Our Home Again,” DHS said: “Not everything you dislike is ‘Nazi propaganda.’”

New reporting for @theintercept.com After federal agents killed Alex Pretti in Minneapolis, a Minnesota man was tackled, pepper-sprayed, and detained without charges. The witness had previously contradicted the government’s account of an earlier shooting. theintercept.com/2026/01/31/m...

Asked for a response to the CBP killing of a VA nurse, the secretary of Veterans Affairs shifted the blame to local officials.

After the shooting of Alex Pretti in Minneapolis, I asked the Department of Veterans Affairs how it was supporting grieving staff. Their response a single link to an X post blaming Minnesota officials. No mention of his coworkers. My reporting for The Intercept. theintercept.com/2026/01/26/a...
