Corporate attorneys almost never look forward to litigation. But I can see this one being the reason for the “almost.”

I don’t know whether this nation deserves better. But we need better, and we should demand better. I only ask that you make those demands by calling your reps and senators, rather than trying to hit the FBI Director up in the club, as he may be in no condition to respond.

The FBI Director Is MIA Kash Patel has alarmed colleagues with episodes of excessive drinking and unexplained absences.

Our government is run right now by petulant children with no sense of service to something greater than themselves. And his response to the @sfifz787.bsky.social Atlantic article (gift link below) speaks more ill of Patel than anything in the article itself.

3. Implications for National Security. Whether Kash Patel is a drunken lout is not a national secret. But when those who hold secret and classified intelligence are as image-obsessed and as easily provoked as this, how easily might they be compromised?

Kash Patel drinking beer after the US men’s gold medal hockey game, like one may do if not in charge of the FBI.

2. Pressure on sources. The attacks on anonymous sourcing have a clear undercurrent: a push to either out those who spoke out or demand loyalty and silence from those who have witnessed in person his drunken debauchery.

1. First Amendment concerns. The weight of the Director of the FBI on a publication’s investigative journalism should not be understated. And it’s a thin-skinned, duty-shirking move that follows the bombastic lead of a president who has made clear his disdain for information.

Kash Patel files defamation lawsuit against The Atlantic Patel is seeking $250 million in damages for an article that alleges he has a drinking problem.

Kash Patel, in a fit of totally sober judgment, is suing The Atlantic personally for $250 million. The suit is garbage, of course, but it’s problematic for several reasons beyond an attempt to enrich himself. (Thread)

Lives here? Technically, perhaps…

He unfortunately will have a ton of money boosting him here.

This expert tells it exactly like it is about Trump’s incapability to hold office.

Analysis: Ramaswamy seems to criticize Acton for being a victim of child sex abuse Republican candidate for Ohio governor Vivek Ramaswamy posted the undated video of a campaign speech to his X account April 14.

In this moment, Ohio needs leaders capable of understanding what citizens go through, capable of seeing how words, actions, and policies affect us on a human level. @amyactonoh.bsky.social does; Vivek has no interest in such things. The difference is jarring.

Tax Day 2026: The Average Taxpayer Paid $4,049 for War and Weapons - Institute for Policy Studies Tax Day 2026: The Average Taxpayer Paid $4,049 for War and Weapons

Did you pay your taxes? Then you gave $4,049 to war and weapons.

According to the Institute for Policy Studies, taxpayers contributed more to Pentagon contractors ($1,870) than to troops' pay ($770), and more to militarism than programs like school lunches ($124) or the Postal Service ($19).

Calling voters is SUPER EMPOWERING & MAKES ME SMILE EAR TO EAR as I remind folks to vote & they thank me & I know I am making a difference & helping people.

We only call friendlies.

We aren't calling Republicans...if we get one accidentally, we just end the call & move on.

Also we don't dial...

The difference between Democrats and Republicans.

I hope no one is actually following this asshole's advice unless you had a huge refund this year. If you listen to Bessent, you'll owe the government next April. This administration doesn't care about Americans.

Trump and the IRS are in talks to resolve his $10 billion lawsuit over leaked tax records — NBC News The president's lawsuit, filed this year, alleges that the IRS failed to take the necessary steps to prevent the unauthorized release of his tax documents.

If the President can’t be sued while he is President, why is he allowed to file a lawsuit during his Presidency when he appointed all the people in charge?
This should be paused until he isn’t the President anymore.

The fact that the maga appeals court ordered a judge to end a contempt investigation into the Trump administration is the very definition of CORRUPTION.
We must clean house & the only way to get there is to fire the entire GOP.

This is Simba.

I came home one day to find that a feral cat had given birth on my front porch.
He was the only one that survived.

We adopted him and his young mother (Maude) after having them both sterilized.

He’s a very sassy and sweet little guy.

Happy Caturday! 💙🫶🏻💙😻

Trump did not graduate from Wharton with honors. He was considered an unprepared, non-standout student.

He proves this every damn day!!

Does he have so little self awareness that he didnt understand he had done this? Or is it another sign of loyalty to 🍊💩 to soil yourself and then relish that you are making everyone else uncomfortable? Both for you and the odors you are emitting?
