No idea why an Afghan refugee shot National Guard soldiers within walking distance of the White House, but this new USCIS directive was revealed on Monday. Worth noting.

this was bad before, but these are the most troubling and serious allegations you can make about a journalist. if they’re true, i genuinely can’t think of a worse scandal in the history of political journalism. devastating to our industry, to public trust as a whole, and to everyone in its orbit

This should be a major scandal. The Blaze falsely reported that a former U.S. Capitol Police officer was the Jan. 6th pipe bomber. But it wasn’t just another miss by conservative media promoting conspiracies. Someone in US intel - at ODNI - was promoting it:

So, a senior Justice Department official — along with several members of Congress — used the authority of their offices to boost an obviously dubious conspiracy theory accusing a federal employee of a horrific crime. And now it’s clear the allegation was baseless.

Three things about the Witkoff tapes: 1) It appears Western intelligence services have decided to let Witkoff (and Trump) know they have recordings of their traitorous conversations w/Russia. 2) This Ukraine "deal" was all Witkoff's idea. 3) Congressional leaders should demand he be fired.

Targeting Kelly is one of those “this is why we’ll win” moments, bc it shows how politically impetuous this admin is. There’s clearly no adult in the room to say “wait, maybe don’t go after the charismatic war hero turned literal astronaut who ran after his wife was a victim of political violence.”

Just as a reminder: Trump's doing Putin's bidding on Russia, his attacks on science at HHS and with regard to the environment, his corruption, his ICE army attacking US cities, his gutting of the DoJ and attacks on the rule of law and democracy are all much, much, much bigger scandals than Epstein.
