Tulsi Gabbard's conflict of interest β€” and hypocrisy The director of national intelligence has mismanaged a whistleblower complaint involving Jared Kushner and Iran

Great article by @jesselynradack.bsky.social about the recent whistleblower allegation regarding Jared Kushner and Iran, and Tulsi Gabbard's conflict of interest. It's far past time for Congress to reform the Intelligence Community Whistleblower Protection Act:

U.S. at Fault in Strike on School in Iran, Preliminary Inquiry Says

The DOD preliminary inquiry shows exactly what the half dozen independent studies have all concluded: the double strike on the girls' school in Minab that killed about 180, mostly school girls, was by US launched Tomahawks. Now the struggle begins to explain why this was an "innocent mistake."

I sent this to Customs: 1) you are holding my legally-prescribed medication for #MultipleSclerosis & 2) didn’t notify me. For 2 years, my pharmacy has sent this med to me in Europe with no prob. How will you expedite this to me??

I'm begging my fellow politicians, Illinoisans, and Americans to realize that right now, we aren't fighting over policy or political party.

We're fighting over whether we're going to be a country rooted in empathy and kindness β€” or one rooted in cruelty and rage.

DHS Assault Cases Spiked to a Record High. Experts and Judges Have Raised Alarms. Federal data shows a surge in DHS alleging its agents have been assaulted or impeded. Although many cases have collapsed in court, some fear the risks to constitutional rights.

β€œProsecutors who are weaponizing the justice system are prioritizing their fealty to the president over their bar licenses β€” and more significantly, over the oath they took to protect and defend the Constitution,” said @jesselynradack.bsky.social

The UK and Other Democracies Hold the Epstein Elite Accountable America’s tolerance of Epstein associates is a national disgrace

contrarian.substack.com/p/the-uk-and... This disgraceful lack of accountability underscores the rise of a malignant oligarchy that has attained far too much wealth and power in the United States.

The Perilous Myth that Only "Lawful" Whistleblowing Counts by Jesselyn Radack and Thomas Drake We are living in an age when exposing the truth is a dangerous, even criminal act. The First Amendment, designed to protect dissent against the government, is bein...

How do you counter the narrative that the only acceptable form of ’lawful’ whistleblowing is what’s authorized by the government versus unauthorized whistleblowing viewed as β€˜unlawful’ by the government?

⚠️ It’s bad enough some clients have had to say they’d never deliberately commit suicide. It’s alarming a politician needs to do so.

Judge Orders Release of 5-Year-Old Whose Detention Drew Outrage

πŸ”₯ Judge ordering release of 5-yr-old: β€œObserving human behavior confirms that for some among us, the perfidious lust for unbridled power & the imposition of cruelty in its quest know no bounds and are bereft of human decency. And the rule of law be damned.”
