One thing I can say with 100% certainty is that Tim Walz wouldn’t do this shit

The Syria test is 100% sensitive and specific for degenerate brain worms. Anyone that at any point defend Assad should be considered a wrecker, pariah, danger to society and should think about what they’ve done. >:(

Thank you Kristin!! It really means a lot to see you prioritize that!

I don’t think it was much reported either but the Air Force’s Journal of the Americas also was deactivated due to a lot of the reshuffling

That endorsement for Hook was from 2024. She did not change that on her website nor disclosed that Castro had not yet made any endorsement in the 2026 primaries; she simply assumed he would continue to back her when it wasn’t so clear That comes from friends of mine who worked in Castro’s office

Alan Cunningham @cadetcunningham.bsky.social · 09/09/2026

I’m sure she would argue “I mean hard science” or “psychology isn’t a science” but also why are you putting up artificial roadblocks and trying to be superior to another degree field that contributes just as much to society?

Alan Cunningham @cadetcunningham.bsky.social · 09/09/2026

Okay this has been bothering me for awhile; she says she’ll be the first PhD woman to serve in Congress (I know she says scientist here, but she’s said woman with a science PhD/PhD before) Does she just forget that Judy Chu for CA-28 has been in office since 2009 with a PhD in Psychology??

I won’t say this is good nor will I say “oh look the deportations are doing some good” (they’re not) But I will say Milo can get fucked. I’ll reserve my sympathy for those who are truly victims of this administration, not those who are surprised the leopards are eating their faces

Can we just lock the people who created Cinema Sins in a dodgy submersible? No sin committed in the telling a story on screen could ever measure up to the sin they've committed in convincing the public they have been engaging in film criticism.

There’s no reforming an agency if its culture is broken and there’s no reforming an agency when the people that enforce those laws and standards and morally bankrupt, wildly unethical, and shamelessly supporting Trump’s actions

020

Alan Cunningham @cadetcunningham.bsky.social · 07/08/2026

I wonder, when candidates say they only support reform and not abolishment of ICE, what would they say to this Because yes this is Trump, but it’s also the senior leadership, it’s the SACs and Section Chiefs, it’s the culture of the agency, and yes it’s the agent who joined in April of 2025

We moved on from Syria much much too quickly It is absolutely incredible that Biden’s Ukraine policy effectively dealt a death knell to Al-Assad and drastically changed the future of Syria, a nation that had dominated foreign policy discussions in 2016 And few gave Biden credit for that

Alan Cunningham @cadetcunningham.bsky.social · 07/08/2026

I honestly think we moved on from the implications and implausibility this event would have been even a decade before way too quickly

Unless you got it at a steal of a price - and even then I wouldn’t want it - why would one buy a plane with that kind of history?

Can you expand on this? I’m not too familiar with the CCC history beyond the broadstrokes, so I’d love to know your insight

I have rarely heard a police officer (field, investigative, executive) speak positively about them but they’re still used because “that’s the way it’s always done” “it’s cheap” “it helps narrow down the applicant pool” And that’s a problem: open.substack.com/pub/alanthec...

Why law enforcement will never stop using the polygraph

The polygraph has been scientifically discredited, is legally inadmissible, and is more of a problem than it’s worth. So why is it still used?

030

Alan Cunningham @cadetcunningham.bsky.social · 03/08/2026

Oh no, if only there was some way this could have been predicted … Polygraphs are a bane upon the federal hiring, criminal investigation, and national security process and should have been outlawed when NAS produced their study in the early days of the Bush administration

Which isn’t surprising. But it’s kinda insane that the most substantive update we’ve had was Trump adding the mandatory/non-mandatory questions to the process and it barely got any Representative talking about it They just really aren’t focused on this issue at all

Alan Cunningham @cadetcunningham.bsky.social · 03/08/2026

It’s telling he went on Fox to say this One would think CNN, MSNBC maybe, but no. Know why? That’s not his audience

Alan Cunningham @cadetcunningham.bsky.social · 03/08/2026

I always find it funny when Republicans say they’re the “Party of Lincoln” or “Party of TR” given it’s a tacit admission that the last time the GOP was great was when they had progressive leaders and policies

Alan Cunningham @cadetcunningham.bsky.social · 03/08/2026

And that isn’t necessarily a bad thing I should add … BUT it’s super infuriating when you’re a 4.0 MAIR student with great references, a track record of work and volunteer experience to lose an LE internship to a rising college sophomore majoring in music whose mom is an Section Chief at HQ

010

Alan Cunningham @cadetcunningham.bsky.social · 03/08/2026

It’s a godawful interface. I love when it redirects you to a completely different hiring system to answer the same questions Although what’s worse are the “USAJobs hiring consultants” I see on LinkedIn and they’re like former OPM people; they’re just outright lying about the process at that point

060

Alan Cunningham @cadetcunningham.bsky.social · 03/08/2026

Also this - it’s amazing how it is really not an open process and so heavily fueled by having a friend in service, working for the agency as a contractor, or being a longterm servant’s child or relative

161

Alan Cunningham @cadetcunningham.bsky.social · 03/08/2026

And don’t get me started on how nepotistic the entire federal hiring system is

170

Alan Cunningham @cadetcunningham.bsky.social · 03/08/2026

This. I am one of those people. It’s absolute hell to never receive even a response back Fast forward to me working in D.C. and finding out that so many postings get filled by contractors who have govt/military XP and had done the same job just in the private sector, so the announcement is for show

180

Alan Cunningham @cadetcunningham.bsky.social · 03/08/2026

Your comment reminded me of this so much USAJobs isn’t just a shitty job site, it’s an incredible national security risk and maybe if we talked about it from that aspect, we’d get more traction

1253

Alan Cunningham @cadetcunningham.bsky.social · 03/08/2026

Even just that would be a massive improvement. And that’s just tip of the iceberg kinda shit

040

Alan Cunningham @cadetcunningham.bsky.social · 03/08/2026

Add onto that it’s not a major issue for many Americans who are actively voting or in the workforce too

000

Alan Cunningham @cadetcunningham.bsky.social · 03/08/2026

Plus, it’s not a big policy issue since I feel there aren’t many persons who actively applying anymore and there’s no general movement to get any type of legislation passed Same with polygraphs and their usage; widely known to be ineffective, massively unpopular, but still around

180

Alan Cunningham @cadetcunningham.bsky.social · 03/08/2026

That’s a smart analysis. I feel that’s probably an accurate view (which is a sign of how pessimistic governance has become) I’ll also say it’s the fact the younger generation (an oft ignored voting block) are the ones most affected and they’re not exactly being considered

Alan Cunningham @cadetcunningham.bsky.social · 03/08/2026

I love how, after not posting a lot over the past few months, this skeet got a dozen likes in less than three minutes That alone should indicative how popular that policy and promise would be

0270

Alan Cunningham @cadetcunningham.bsky.social · 03/08/2026

Why is it that I have never heard a legislator on the campaign trail talk about civil service reform or updating USAJobs for the current work force? That’s something not only active and ex-federal employees but prospective federal employees (including students, veterans etc) would want to hear

Alan Cunningham @cadetcunningham.bsky.social · 02/08/2026

The fact he’s on CNN isn’t her fault of course and he never should’ve been platformed to begin with. But that’s what happen when you have a 24 hour news channel more committed to advertising, views, and elite notoriety rather than reporting

010

Alan Cunningham @cadetcunningham.bsky.social · 02/08/2026

Having watched this a few times now, I don’t think this anchor did a great job of countering RFK nor did she do a good job of holding him accountable; she allowed him to speak over her and continue promulgating his bile, seemed to become too agitated too quickly and didn’t handle this well

110

Alan Cunningham @cadetcunningham.bsky.social · 02/08/2026

It’s the same reason why Fox News seeks out a certain kind of Democrat (those with really poor policy or are flimsy )to go on their programs; because if gives them the sound bite, the views they want to make their viewers believe is the mainstream in liberal thinking

110

Alan Cunningham @cadetcunningham.bsky.social · 02/08/2026

I want to say, this is why I don’t watch CNN or much cable news anymore RFK went on this because he knew he would find a great place and a poor journalist to be able to show off his “mettle” at dealing with the media, “fighting for the American people’s health”, and showing up liberals

Alan Cunningham @cadetcunningham.bsky.social · 02/08/2026

Not just the next pandemic, but the next everything; the next natural disaster, the next attack, the next war, the next regulatory crisis, the next recession, it’s infuriating

021

Alan Cunningham @cadetcunningham.bsky.social · 02/08/2026

Remember, investigations, calls for BWCs or no masks are all pointless unless you are also addressing the root causes of this criminality - the culture of militarization and law enforcement in border security agencies and the disastrous 2003 implementation of DHS
