Trump’s Acting DNI Bill Pulte begins FIRING Intelligence Officials in Bid to Stoke Doubts About the 2020 Election | MSNOW
Video Summary
In this segment, MS NOW senior national security reporter David Rohde discusses exclusive reporting regarding the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI) under the new acting director, Bill Pulte (0:12-0:21).
Key takeaways from the report:
- Mass Firings: Bill Pulte has begun terminating dozens of intelligence officials within the ODNI (0:13-0:16, 0:24-0:26).
- "Deep State" Allegations: Sources indicate the administration claims these individuals are being removed because they are suspected of being part of the so-called "deep state" and allegedly failed to provide complete intelligence to superiors (0:26-0:30, 0:36-0:41).
- Criticism of Claims: Rohde notes that these allegations are viewed as "absurd" by former intelligence officials, particularly because the current administration has been in place for nearly two years (0:43-0:54).
- Political Motivations: The panel suggests that Pulte—who lacks the extensive experience in the intelligence community typically required for the role—is attempting to please President Trump by aligning with the President's conspiracy theories (1:05-1:11, 2:53-3:00).
- Future Concerns: There are significant concerns among Democrats and observers that Pulte may use his position to interfere with the upcoming midterm elections or attempt to substantiate false claims regarding the 2020 election (1:11-1:36).

Exclusive: Woman who dated Graham Platner says he sexually assaulted her
And here is Graham Platner's video response to the above article (at least from my understanding).
Graham Platner's campaign team also put out a response (which can also be found deeper into the article):
>These allegations are very serious and Graham vigorously denies them. They are also coached and coordinated by out of state establishment operatives. For a year, opponents of this campaign have thrown everything they can at Graham –– calling him a Nazi, a war criminal, and a communist. None of it has been true and this is no different. It is not a coincidence that this story comes a week before the ballot deadline, just as the previous false allegations came a week before the primary. Graham began this campaign to fight for a Maine where everyone is treated with dignity and where Mainers are put first, and no amount of desperate smears will stop this movement from seeing that vision through.

REMINDER: The comment period for the OMB's Proposed Federal Financial Assistance Rule ends next week
This proposal intends to cut free preschool, veteran's benefits and places serious restrictions on the scientific industry by limiting research to only whatever benefits the current political party and can freely deny research grants towards anything they dislike. This includes (but is not limited to):
- Overriding peer review
- Terminating active grants for any given reason at any time
- Banning DEI, gender research and related topics as grant conditions
- Restricting scientists from seeing work done in other countries
For a direct link to the regulation proposal page (currently at 47k comments):
https://www.regulations.gov/document/OMB-2026-0034-0001
I wanna make sure people aren't gonna forget about this, and to see people make as much noise as possible, because my biggest concern outside of this being enacted is the possibility of this proposal being slept on.

Fighting exhaustion
I've been protesting/advocating/etc. since February last year and am almost completely drained. I know this is what they want, but I feel like I've run myself dry. I want to stay in it, but I can hardly even bring myself to report/share important news now. I know the movement doesn't depend on me, but I don't want to drop out especially with midterms on the way.
Anyone else have experience with this? How did you cope/stay engaged?

Truth Will Out. Foreign intelligence & AIPAC utilised leverage aka “tapes” on compromised congressmen to block the Massie & Roe bill to remove a foreign country’s hostile takeover of the US military. CALL your representatives to remove this hostile takeover URGENT

Major Jason Watson, thank you.
Active-duty U.S. Air Force Major Jason Watson was arrested on the steps of the U.S. Capitol after calling for the impeachment and removal of Donald Trump.
This was an act of courage and civil disobedience. The Capitol steps are open to the public, but protesting there is prohibited and Watson was arrested by Capitol Police after standing there with his message.
Major Watson is an active-duty service member, he understands the rules, the risks, and the possible consequences of making a public political statement like this.
When someone who swore an oath to defend the Constitution is willing to put his career on the line to demand accountability, Congress should not be looking away!!!
Thank you, Major Watson, for your service and for standing up when so many people in power are refusingto.
The oath is not to Donald Trump.
It is to the Constitution.
