For those following the story of unidentified men violently dragging a protester from a local Idaho GOP meeting, it turns out they were from a private security firm called LEAR Asset Management. But neither the sheriff (who watched it all go down) or the GOP will take responsibility for hiring them.

They’ve called armed federal officers to the scene. We aren’t dangerous. We are here to represent our people. To defend public education. This is an authoritarian regime. You cannot block members of Congress from entering the Department of Education.

New — The National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC) was told this week by DOJ that they'd lose their funding if the org didn't remove any mentions of LGBTQIA+ issues from their public materials, I've learned. Staff were told they need to deadname trans kids in their reports to comply.

🇺🇸 🇪🇺 🇺🇦 Western businesses and social media: — At the beginning: Ukrainians, die quietly, don't post photos of russians killing you. — Today: Americans, can't you keep quiet while you are being robbed by a Nazi? That's right, 🤷 this affects each of us. #UkrainianView #US #EU

Losing NOAA would be devastating. Project 2025 authors want to get rid of it because it monitors climate change, and privatize the information it currently provides for free, so you'll have to buy information about the weather and the winds (imperative for mariners).

I remember when Politico wrote an article saying that Susie Wiles is “so good at managing Donald Trump.” The look on her face when he said Palestinians from Gaza shouldn’t go back says otherwise.

New — Sources tell me OPM is preparing mass firing of probationary employees after agencies submitted lists of them last week without context. If supervisors want to keep someone on, they need to write a short justification. Directive was high level. They were told not to put any of this in print.

In the near future we're almost certainly going to see an executive order purporting to abolish the U.S. Department of Education It is extremely important that all of our messaging reinforces the fundamental truth that an EO cannot do that. We must not say "Trump abolished the U.S. Dept of Ed"

Ah. So this explains the need to access classified information at USAID. If this info gets leaked, it puts our intelligence officers abroad — including (and especially) sources they may have — in serious danger.

This is illegal. Neither Donald Trump nor Elon Musk has the authority to eliminate USAID; only an act of Congress can do that. Lawsuits are underway and we are doing oversight to try to stop this.
