Kross-Eyed Kash is far and away one of the worst DEI appointments in the history of our country!
 

Federal Communications Chair Brendan Carr has ordered investigations into NPR and PBS with the goal of slashing the money given to the government-funded organizations, The New York Times reports.
The investigations are ostensibly about PBS and NPR’s member stations’ sponsorships, according to a letter from Carr obtained by the Times. “I am concerned that NPR and PBS broadcasts could be violating federal law by airing commercials,” the letter reads. “In particular, it is possible that NPR and PBS member stations are broadcasting underwriting announcements that cross the line into prohibited commercial advertisements.” Both PBS and NPR’s chief executives told the Times that their advertising complies with the FCC’s underwriting regulations.
“To the extent that taxpayer dollars are being used to support a for profit endeavor or an entity that is airing commercial advertisements,” the letter continues, “then that would further undermine any case for continuing to fund NPR and PBS with taxpayer dollars.”
Carr is already facing pushback. In an emailed statement to The Verge, FCC Commissioner Anna Gomez says the investigation is “yet another Administration effort to weaponize the power of the FCC. The FCC has no business intimidating and silencing broadcast media.”
 
Trump’s best Cabinet pick might be Li’l Marco.

That says it all.

The Cabinet Secretary nominees are a distraction - especially Hegseth, Kennedy Lite, Tulsi, and Patel; and, Gaetz. Trump AND the Heritage Foundation/Project 2025 HOPE they remain distractions……hell, they hope several (all?) are shot down so that Trump and Heritage can whine about the “Deep State.”

It’s not the Caninet Secretary who will gut departments…….it’s the 10-to-20-to-50 Heritage appointees we ignore while Kennedy Lite pisses us off.

This is NOT Trump playing 3-D Chess; this is Heritage and other right-wingers realizing that Trump is completely a tool……and they can use his ignorance.
 
Kash Patel at FBI is most dangerous

Trump Administration Shocks Senior F.B.I. Ranks by Moving to Replace Them​

Top officials have been told to retire or be fired in the coming days, fueling fear within an agency that has been a target of President Trump and Kash Patel, his nominee to be F.B.I. director.


“…The steps came as Kash Patel, the president’s nominee to lead the agency, sought to assure lawmakers during a contentious, hourslong Senate confirmation hearing that he would not begin a campaign of retribution or look backward by pursuing perceived rivals. It is unclear whether he was informed of the decisions, which were disclosed on the condition of anonymity to describe personnel matters.

The employees given the apparent ultimatum had been promoted under Christopher A. Wray, who stepped down as F.B.I. director this month.

In an email to colleagues, one of the senior agents said he had learned he would be dismissed “from the rolls of the F.B.I.” as soon as Monday morning.

… F.B.I. directors have more latitude than most agency chiefs in whom they place into senior positions, but they typically do so gradually. Until senators vote on Mr. Patel’s nomination, Brian Driscoll is the bureau’s acting director. …”
 
“… During Mr. Patel’s confirmation hearing, Senator Cory Booker raised the abrupt dismissals of nearly a dozen career prosecutorsat the Justice Department who worked on the criminal investigations into Mr. Trump under the special counsel Jack Smith and whether similar moves would extend to the F.B.I.

“Are you aware of any plans or discussions to punish in any way, including termination, F.B.I. agents or personnel associated with Trump investigations?” asked Mr. Booker, Democrat of New Jersey, after reminding Mr. Patel that he was under oath.

Stating that he had not been involved in the decisions at the Justice Department, Mr. Patel replied, “I am not aware of that, Senator.” …”

I read about this blunder last night. Way to get the entire Federal Government spammed, Elon & Co.

On a related note:

“…
A federal source told Straight Arrow News that the emails were suspicious because they were formatted differently than usual mass emails, and they came directly from OPM; normally, departments take messages from OPM and relay them to their employees.

An employee posted in a Reddit thread for federal workers that a new email server was connected to OPM’s servers, which he believed was being used to build lists of all federal employees to generate massive reduction in force (RIF) notices.

A report in FedScoop.com revealed a lawsuit was filed against OPM for the use of the server. The suit said the servers were being used to store information without conducting the required privacy impact assessment.

The two anonymous employees who filed the suit want the government to stop using it until the proper tests have been conducted. ….”

 
Just posted in the DOGE thread an article about Musk cronies locking OPM senior officials out of the government employee database — now no one can see or monitor what they are doing with all that private info.
