With both RFK Jr and Gabbard confirmed, two people who rose to prominence spreading conspiracy theories about public health and national intelligence will now run the U.S. government agencies in charge of those areas. For someone studying these conspiracy theories for a decade... this is nauseating.

The US Attorney for Washington DC refers to US Justice Department Attorneys as “President Trump’s lawyers.”
Alt-text: A tweet from an account named “U.S. Attorney Ed Martin” (@USAEdMartin) features a graphic with a yellow background. The graphic contains a quote attributed to Edward R. Martin, Jr., stating: “As President Trumps’ lawyers, we are proud to fight to protect his leadership as our President and we are vigilant in standing against entities like the AP that refuse to put America first.” Below the quote, the text identifies Martin as the “United States Attorney, District of Columbia.” The graphic includes the official seal of the U.S. Department of Justice. The tweet has a timestamp of 12:08 PM on February 24, 2025, and shows 93K views.

Dear Dems. This is a reminder that Donald Trump rescinded the ethics rules preventing gifts to executive branch employees. Now would be a good time to propose legislation formalizing the prevention into a law Time to do things that make him react to you. apnews.com/article/trum...

Trump has canceled Biden's ethics rules. Critics call it the opposite of 'drain the swamp'
Donald Trump took office eight years ago pledging to “drain the swamp” of the dominance of Washington influence peddlers.
