Most people use AmEX for the points. In the Amb. Kimberly Guilfoyle texts, it's so the money "won't show" I was an ambassador myself & I've never seen anything like this She denies it, but you can smell this one from Athens! More on @CNN.com 👇

Before he was appointed, Kash Patel was flagged by FBI counterintelligence agents as being deeply enmeshed in influence operations run by the Russians and Chinese. After he took over, Patel began systematically eliminating all Russian and Chinese counterintelligence capacity. What to make of that?

As Trump focuses the FBI on immigration, counterintelligence is falling behind
The cuts come as a consequence of President Trump and FBI Director Kash Patel's focus on violent crime and immigration, leaving other priorities understaffed.

I don't know how but we have to teach people to be better at detecting bullshit. Instead we have this ersatz skepticism where people are suspicious about the wrong things and find their way to conclusions that are worse than if they just blindly accepted conventional wisdom

New, from me: Kimberly Guilfoyle was caught soliciting money for government favors. Normally we call that a bribe. If she is corrupt, it is only because she has adapted to Trump's corrupt environment, where everything is for sale. 🧵 donmoynihan.substack.com/p/stop-paper...

It’s really remarkable to me that 10 years into this people feel compelled to “clarify” Trump’s homicidal and often genocidal fantasies. It is deranged for the president to daydream about American cities in states he hates getting blown up. Full stop.

People don't understand there's a big difference between "sanewashing" and interpreting the communications coming from an addled mind. Understanding them doesn't make them sane.

Today, Trump renewed his contention that he "deserves" a Nobel Prize. Shortly after that, he once again evidenced he had no idea how trade works or what a trade deficit is, suggesting we'd save $40B by not importing Swiss watches. Is there a Nobel Prize for Mathematical Idiocy?

Guillfoyle was pretty clearly trading on her connection with Trump to solicit payments in order to help a Republican donor get the IRS to quash a tax dispute. Massively corrupt! We used to take this sort of shit seriously!

Guillfoyle asked for $1M to line up a Tucker Carlson interview. Did not deliver.
He told Guilfoyle he would pay her $1 million if she helped him land an interview on former Fox News host Tucker Carlson’s show—where he hoped to draw attention to his cause.

Guilfoyle assured Deters she was working to get him in front of Carlson. “We should hear something by the end of the week,” she wrote in December 2024.

Text messages reviewed by the Journal show Guilfoyle reached out to people in Carlson’s orbit about setting up an interview with him for Deters. It didn’t go far.

Carlson told the Journal he’d never heard of Deters and doesn’t keep up with Guilfoyle, who doesn’t have a role influencing which guests he selects: “A million dollars for a podcast appearance? Isn’t she the ambassador to Greece? This is completely nuts.”

Bit more niche but also you don't need to be sworn in by the speaker *at all* after an election. You do if you are elected mid-session (by house rules) but immediately after the election you are sworn by the speaker elect by convention, not by requirement

The House is not a continuing body like the Senate. It reconstitutes entirely after the election. No rules or leadership carry over to the next session except only to the extent that the next session affirmatively chooses to readopt rules or leadership

The DHS Secretary is riffing on the “great replacement theory” - a white nationalist conspiracy theory that holds the elites (or other conspirators - in this case, “socialists”) are set on changing society through immigration and illegal voting. The GRT is everywhere on the American right now.
