On today's Morning Joe, MSNBC analyst and Washington Post columnist David Ignatius admitted that the people on the boat that the U.S. military fired on in the Caribbean "were associated with the Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua. I'm sure they're terrible people doing despicable crimes." And while he first said that they "appear to have been drug smugglers," he later flatly described them as "drug smugglers."

Benny Johnson @bennyjohnson 🚨EXCLUSIVE: Whistleblowers Reveal CIA Sabotage Operation at HHS Against Trump | RFK Jr. LIVE Now... Benny Johnson 2:25 / 4:02

Over 1,000 current and former Health and Human Services employees signed a letter calling for Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. to resign as HHS Director. For the first time in decades we have an HHS Director who puts people before Big Pharma and these grunts want him gone. At least they’ve identified themselves! The disgruntled employees posted their petition on a page they created they titled ‘Save HHS.’ If they were honest people, they would have called it ‘Save Big Pharma.’ These people are wicked partisans who want to load up children with the COVID vaccine despite its well-documented dangers! They...

President Trump sent shockwaves throughout Washington, DC after making Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent the acting IRS Commissioner. Now, we may know why. As The Gateway Pundit reported, Trump removed Internal Revenue Service Commissioner Billy Long from the position and installed Bessent. Long had been in the job for less than two months. As a consolation, Long was awarded the U.S. Ambassadorship to Iceland, not exactly a plum position. But it was either Iceland or the unemployment line. The Washington Post reported Saturday that Long was booted from his position after he refused to hand over certain taxpayer data on suspected...

The Iowa Attorney General’s Office on Wednesday opened an investigation into the University of Iowa after an official there was video recorded saying she and others at the school continue to advance diversity, equity and inclusion despite policies and a state law prohibiting it. A 2024 state law prohibits public funding for DEI programs. The Iowa Board of Regents in November 2023 also directed universities to abolish all “diversity, equity, and inclusion” initiatives at public universities. But an undercover video obtained by Fox News shows Drea Tinoco, assistant director for Leadership and Student Organization Development at the University of Iowa,...

EPA employees staged a political stunt, tried to take it back when it bombed, and revealed just how deeply entitlement and arrogance run through the federal workforce. The Information Age brought rapid technological progress and unprecedented access to knowledge. But one rule still holds true: Once it’s on the internet, it’s there forever. Some EPA employees are now learning that the hard way. The signatories of the now-infamous “Stand Up for Science” declaration — an act of open defiance against the Trump administration — are scrambling to erase their names after their stunt blew up in their faces. The petition,...

The Daily Mail reported Wednesday on a plot by a group of military officers and civilian Pentagon staff to force Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth out of office through a public pressure campaign based on a letter signed by Pentagon insiders. Citing the usual deep state concerns about Hegseth’s leadership, priorities and performance, three of the coup plotters spoke on background to the Daily Mail about the scheme (excerpt from long detailed article): Three Pentagon officials — two military and one civilian, and each with at least 20 years in the department — spoke on the condition of anonymity. …The...

An employee has been fired from Florida’s Alligator Alcatraz after they were caught leaking videos from the illegal alien detention facility on social media. A TikTok user identified as @skitheteamroski claimed that he was fired from working at Alligator Alcatraz after he posted video footage from the pop-up immigrant detention center online.

Disgruntled current and former federal employees are teaming up to to unleash a “color revolution” against President Trump using the same tactics they have employed to sow distrust in overseas governments, according to a new report. Former intelligence staffers with USAID and the State Department believe they can astroturf an uprising to overthrow Trump, hindering his ability to splinter their network even further. Many were laid off during the early months of his administration when the U.S. Department of Government Efficiency was largely unfettered in firing vast swaths of the federal bureaucracy. The “future of democracy” is on the line,...

Staffers at the Environmental Protection Agency who signed a letter of dissent against President Donald Trump have been placed on leave, reports The Hill. "The Environmental Protection Agency has a zero-tolerance policy for career bureaucrats unlawfully undermining, sabotaging, and undercutting the administration's agenda as voted for by the great people of this country last November," EPA spokesperson Brigit Hirsch said in a written statement.

The latter figure includes 20 Nobel laureates. The letter represents rare public criticism from agency employees who could face blowback for speaking out...

A new culture of secrecy in government is taking root – among career staffers and new political appointees alike.At the Department of Veterans Affairs, some employees had to sign nondisclosure agreements before reviewing plans for firings and organizational shake-ups. At the Administration for Children and Families, career staff were told not to respond in writing to panicky grant recipients whose funding had been shut off to avoid a “paper trail,” one employee said.And at the Environmental Protection Agency, several months after Elon Musk began requiring federal workers to submit weekly emails detailing five things they’d accomplished, some managers began calling...

A US State Department visa specialist was caught on undercover camera admitting to helping illegal aliens evade deportation. Arlsan Akhtar told the O’Keefe Media Group undercover reporter that he secretly advises illegal aliens on how to evade deportation, mocked Americans, slammed Jews and other ethnic groups and immigrants. “I do say it to cab drivers that are from, like, Hispanic descent, I’m like, ‘don’t talk to the police.’ Don’t admit the truth… If you want a loophole, keep your mouth shut,” Arslan Akhtar said. Akhtar said he hates Yemenis, Bangladeshi people and Jews: “I hate them [Yemenis] with a passion....

Randy George, the Army’s Chief of Staff, to submit his request for relief to the Board for Correction of Military Records (BCMR). And at the time, the general promised he would “get it fixed,” CW3 told The Gateway...

U.S. intelligence chiefs ordered agencies to tighten surveillance on Greenland, the first tangible step toward President Donald Trump’s oft-stated goal of bringing the Arctic island under American control, sources leaked to The Wall Street Journal. The directive instructed the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA), National Security Administration (NSA) and the CIA to identify Greenlandic and Danish figures who might back U.S. objectives and to gauge public sentiment toward American resource extraction, the outlet reported Tuesday. Its emergence triggered immediate pushback from Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard, who accused unnamed officials of leaking in order to thwart the administration. “The Wall...
