Even if not surely CIA and ODNI have their own procedures and regulations?
And for all the legitimate focus on Hegseth, one of them leaked a source or officer in action in Yemen in the chat. Fucking mind blowingly irresponsible illegal shit.

At 3 weeks that's where we're at too - passes out being held and walking around... Eyes fly open as soon as she's in the bassinet. White nose has been helping a little, but mostly just have her on one arm while I clean until she passes out again.

Honestly if you're going to spend $400, get the Balmuda toaster. It's freaking amazing - it's an oven not a slice toaster but works perfectly well in that capacity as well.

I took Gs-9 position as single veteran fellow i and then PMF and in DC that meant having roommates and a hour long commute to be able to cover student loans, food, rent, etc
This is not a wealth building occupation which unfortunately seems to be why so many are suspicious of it?

Appreciate this overview. For me raises question of if terroristic act is committed without communication of the intent, it's poorly executed terrorism but still T legally? If intent is discovered by LE investigated and shared, are they in effect carrying water in small way in addition to LE work
