⚡️Trump's pick for FBI chief took money from Russian propagandist, WP reports. Kash Patel received $25,000 in 2024 from a company run by pro-Kremlin filmmaker Igor Lopatonok.

As retired SVU investigator I can't tell you how vitally important NCMEC is. For the missing kids; their families.

Hold the fuck on — the Department of Government Efficiency, the entity which claims its mission is to end “wasteful spending”, was given SEVEN MILLION TAXPAYER DOLLARS to cover its “expenses” in the span of a single week?!?! Are you fucking kidding me?!?
