The head of MI5 asked Kash Patel to protect the job of a London FBI agent, who dealt with surveillance tech that British security would need to monitor a new embassy China wants to build in London, U.S. officials said. After Patel agreed to fund the agent's role, the job is now slated to disappear.

Casual reminder that the myth of “pulling yourself up by your bootstraps” is a cruel hoax designed to convince poor people from all walks of life that the injustices they face are a result of their own actions, rather than an oppressive system rigged against them.

I just want to say to left of center Americans: it doesn't have to feel like this. There really is another way. Replace Schumer with a movement leader – someone who sees a bigger gameboard and brings mass politics to bear. This is insane, pathetic, unforced. Look to movements for a roadmap.

If anyone in a position of power understood that Donald Trump has already declared war on the United States—all its people, all its institutions, all its values, all its traditions, all its statutes, all its public servants, all its future as a democracy—I suspect that they would be acting like it.

I’m tired of media outlets softening Trump’s language. Trump didn’t “suggest” that he wouldn’t pay SNAP. He said “SNAP benefits will be given only when the Radical Left Democrats open up the government “ that is not a “suggestion”

Walmart, McDonalds and Amazon are the largest employers of people who require SNAP assistance. The CEOs earned between 18-40 million last year, 1000x their median employee income. They took billions in profits, while their workers relied on SNAP to survive. Wanna fix fraud and abuse? Fix that.

Folks, this isn’t a realistic policy + it’s racist as all get out. Trump team lowers refugee admissions to just 7,500 a year, down from 125,000 set by Biden, rejecting thousands of people fleeing war & persecution while reserving the record-low slots for mostly white Afrikaner South Africans.
