Isnt this gonna end up being evidence of sedition or treason in the end?
The “Appeal to Heaven” flag, a popular symbol for Christian nationalists that was waved by January 6 rioters, was raised over the Small Business Administration headquarters last week.
Seriously?
Trump Gives Wild Reason for Using Japanese Internment Law
Donald Trump is invoking wartime powers to carry out his mass deportations—despite court orders otherwise.
On Saturday, the president used the Alien Enemies Act of 1798—untouched since the War of 1812 and the Japanese internment of the 1940s—to push the deportation of more than 200 Venezuelans, claiming they were Tren de Aragua gang members. The deportations were carried out despite a court order requiring all planes carrying people deported under the law to remain in the country.
CIA dismisses intelligence officers for working on diversity issues
I am not seeing the value of using assigned TAD to determine who goes. Fuckwits.
The CIA late last week moved to fire more than a dozen officers for working on diversity issues, in what amounts to a deeply unusual round of mass firings at the agency, according to court filings and current and former officials familiar with the effort.
In a court filing, the government suggested that further dismissals may be imminent, and a current official familiar with the matter confirmed that agency officials are in the process of working on recommendations for further cuts. A final number has not yet been decided, that person said.
Some of the fired officers are now challenging their dismissal in court on the grounds that it violated federal workforce laws, and a federal judge in Virginia is expected to hold a hearing to weigh a temporary restraining order against the move on Monday. Kevin Carroll, a lawyer and former CIA officer, said he represents 21 officers who have been fired.
Trump’s federal hiring freeze halts onboarding of federal firefighting crews ahead of wildfire season
We are all going to burn.
The federal hiring freeze implemented by President Donald Trump has affected the hiring of a crucial group of federal workers: firefighters.
The freeze comes at a critical time, when fire departments across the country would typically onboard thousands of seasonal federal firefighters in preparation for wildfires in the spring and summer.
“It’s going to be really bad, really quick,” said Ben McLane, a federal hand crew captain and board member with Grassroots Wildland Firefighters.
Could US criminals be sent to El Salvador’s mega-jail?
US Secretary of State Marco Rubio could not have been more complimentary about the deal he struck with the president of El Salvador on Monday.
The Trump administration’s top diplomat appeared delighted yet stunned by the fact that President Nayib Bukele should have “agreed to the most unprecedented, extraordinary, extraordinary migratory agreement anywhere in the world”.
Bukele had offered to take in people deported from the US, regardless of their nationality, and house them in El Salvador’s mega-jail.
“We can send them and he will put them in his jails,” Rubio said.
