An ICE whistleblower testifies that he was instructed to teach ICE cadets how to perform warrantless searches.

To quote so many Far Right Conservatives during the #Obama Administration:

READ THE CONSTITUTION!

@whitehouse-47.bsky.social You may as well create a moat around the White House made of swamp waters. The self-dealing is quite hypocritical, and expected. #draintheswampmyass

How Kash Patel Ordered Himself a New Fleet of BMWs With FBI Money Kash Patel made the FBI buy a custom fleet of armored BMW X5 for him to ride around in, according to MS NOW. The standard version of the X5 costs about $70,000. “It offers protection not just against attacks with blunt instruments and handguns, but also against the world’s most widely used firearm, the AK-47,” the car’s description reads. Patel’s FBI spokesperson claimed—without evidence—that this is actually saving the American taxpayer money. “Government agencies, including the FBI, routinely evaluate, replace and update vehicle fleets based on usage, security needs or budgetary decisions,” Ben Williamson told MS NOW. “The specific decisions referenced in this article were evaluated partly as a way to save taxpayers millions by picking cheaper selections or making cost structures more efficient.” This is yet another instance of Patel’s questionable use of taxpayer funds for his own personal benefit. In late October, Patel was caught using a $60 million government jet to visit his girlfriend, country singer Alexis Wilkins, at a wrestling event at Penn State before using it to fly back to her home in Nashville. He assigned her a personal SWAT team for her “protection.” Patel defended these decisions profusely, calling his girlfriend a “rock-solid conservative and a country music sensation.” He even requested that the FBI buy a new jet—presumably so that he can take Wilkins on more dates. This request was denied given that the cost was estimated to be between $90 million and $115 million. There was also the jacket fiasco, in which Patel wouldn’t even get off a plane to investigate the murder of his friend Charlie Kirk until someone got him a special FBI raid jacket—his specific size, and with all the right patches on it. He ended up taking a  jacket from a female agent and patches from various other agents. Patel is moving like some kind of celebrity when the two most notable events of his tenure are the failure to quickly find and detain Charlie Kirk’s shooter and the Brown University shooter. Both instances saw Patel’s FBI go days with no leads until independent citizens came forward, leading to bipartisan questioning over Patel’s competence.

REMEMBER, THIS IS *YOUR* MONEY:

(Note, a "standard" BMW X5 SUV runs around $70,000. #Patel just order a FLEET of ARMORED X5's.) 🤬

This isn’t politics anymore, it’s a goddamn mafia movie directed by a toddler with brain worms. 🍊💀
Trump hands out favors, gut-shots the rule of law, and his cult cheers like he just cured cancer.
He didn’t. He just sold America for a campaign donation. 🇺🇸

Tax-Dodging Lobbyist Heads Trump Tax Office A corporate lobbyist who for decades has helped major companies and rich Americans dodge taxes is now a top Trump official.

If you helped billionaires dodge taxes, you should be in trouble.

Under Trump, you got a promotion. 💼💸

This guy didn’t just write loopholes — now he’s in charge of the tax code.

Defense Sec. Pete Hegseth’s brother now holds a key Pentagon role as DHS liaison. Because nothing says “national security” like a little family networking. Swamp? What swamp?

Trump’s crew is assembling like it’s the final season of a bad TV show. Secret Service just got a new co-leader - because one wasn’t enough?

#DrainTheSwampMyAss #AuthoritarianVibes

He's not draining the swamp,he's redecorated it in gilded furniture and filling it up with his billionaire donors, criminal friends, sex offender buddies and Russia loving cronies.
