UPDATE: Whistleblower Aid Chief Legal Counsel @AndrewBakaj -- "Director Gabbard has failed to meet her legal mandate to provide me and my whistlebloweraid.org client with security guidance on disclosing classified information to congressional intelligence committees.

As a Moynihan alum, it's Moynihan Hall and Penn Station.

Our whistleblower client is willing to speak, w/appropriate protections, w/Gang of Eight & cleared staffs to provide addt'l details about complaint & address credibility & concerns of politicization, as well as answer questions @odnigov.bsky.social is refusing to address. We all want the truth.

You don't hide something for over eight months if you're not afraid of the consequences or knowingly engaging in something that would damage trust. It's deliberate, sustained deception.

Remember when the Fourth Amendment was still a thing? Great work here by @wbaidlaw.bsky.social and @andrewbakaj.bsky.social apnews.com/article/ice-...

What did Susie Wiles know and when did she know it? And what did she do with it?!

For years, parents alleged that top social media companies had gotten teens hooked on their products with addictive design features. Now, the first of several high-profile social media addiction lawsuits against Meta, TikTok and YouTube goes to trial.

BARTIROMO: But how was he threatening Border Patrol? How was he using a gun to threaten? He was filming it KASH PATEL: That's something I'll let DHS because they are investigating that case (Notable that even Bartiromo seems to be bothered by this!)

Klobuchar points out that the Trump administration is simultaneously assaulting the First Amendment, Second Amendment, and Fourth Amendment

A video of Alex Pretti reading out the final salute of an unnamed veteran he cared for until the end of his life in the ICU, posted to Facebook by his son.

Minnesota’s justice system will have the last word.

"Videos analyzed by The New York Times appear to contradict the accounts of federal officials, who said Mr. Pretti approached Border Patrol agents with a handgun and the intent to 'massacre' them. Video footage shows Mr. Pretti stepping between a woman and an agent who is pepper spraying her. ...

Another citizen exercising his rights died today as ICE continues to flout the law and the constitution. This follows the secret directive our brave whistleblowers exposed earlier this week instructing ICE agents to break into homes without a judicial warrant. We need accountability for all of it.

Alex Pretti, who is identified as the man fatally shot by a U.S. Border Patrol officer in Minneapolis on Saturday, was an intensive care nurse dedicated to treating veterans. Read more about him here: https://wapo.st/3M62eyV

"Pretti was a U.S. citizen, born in Illinois. Like Good, court records showed he had no criminal record and his family said he had never had any interactions with law enforcement beyond a couple of traffic tickets." {gift link} wapo.st/3LxWTQV

Van Hollen: "They really think the American people are stupid. I mean, we can all see the video. We saw the video with Renee Good. We saw the video with Alex Pretti. The real domestic terrorists are in the White House right now."

It’s been a busy week at @wbaidlaw.bsky.social whistlebloweraid.org #ice

This is the most Minnesota thing ever, but this time, seriously.

Wow -- Fanone coughs "go fuck yourself" to Trey Nehls as Nehls blames Capitol Police leadership for January 6

Our latest from @wbaidlaw.bsky.social. @governorwalz.mn.gov -- we agree. Everyone, irrespective of party, should be outraged by this assault on freedom and privacy.

They’re not bluffing about Greenland. They’re not bluffing about all options being on the table. Wake up!

About 1,500 soldiers w/ 11th Airborne Division in Alaska have been placed on prepare-to-deploy orders with a mission in Minnesota in mind, defense officials tell me tonight. Unclear if some or all of them ultimately will go. News reported tonight by ABC News, too.

Three nursing home residents died because UnitedHealth/Optum delayed or denied them critical hospital care. This news comes on the heels of our two brave whistleblowers who exposed the harm UnitedHealth’s greed continues to inflict on those in their care. bitt.ly/eoEpoS

Trump is planning on stripping tens of thousands of public servants of their whistleblower protections. Here's what our lead counsel @AndrewBakaj had to say: "This is not accountability, this is retaliation masquerading as reform." Read more below. ⬇️ whistlebloweraid.org/whistleblowe...

My friend and co-counsel from the 1st Impeachment @markzaidesq.bsky.social is being singled out by senators now the WH. We rep clients, not causes. This is an attempt to distract from issues Congress has every right to investigate. Such distractions will not work!

My friend and co-counsel from the 1st Impeachment is being singled out by senators and HHS. We rep clients, not causes. This is an attempt to distract from issues Congress has every right to investigate. Such distractions will not work. Focus on the issues, not messengers.

We are disturbed that the Senate and the DOJ IG failed to investigate devastating whistleblower evidence and that the Senate, instead, rushed to confirm a nominee who has no respect for the judicial system.

This -- this is our latest at @wbaidlaw.bsky.social . UnitedHealthcare's greed and misconduct touches everyone. With the truth coming out, it's time for accountability and fixing a broken system that puts cash ahead of patient lives.

Proud of my good friend and colleague, @markzaidesq.bsky.social

The fact that only minutes after DOGE infiltrated NLRB systems someone or something within Russia attempted to log in using ALL of the right credentials could have destroyed the agency's infrastructure in a matter of minutes.

Private data such as lists of union activists and ongoing labor cases are what could have been harvested by DOGE, exposing @nlrbgov.bsky.social's data to exploitation by foreign adversaries, according to our brave client. Read more here: whistlebloweraid.org/whistleblowe...

UP FIRST: A whistleblower who works at NLRB says that DOGE may have taken sensitive labor data. And, the Trump administration froze over $2 billion for Harvard after it rejected demands.
