Forking Off

Why stop at impeachment? Kash Patel's handling of the FBI's response to the Epstein Files Transparency Act is justification for inherent contempt. Congress shouldn't just fire him and let him go back to podcasting with Bongino. They should hold him accountable now.

Forking Off A podcast by former feds who got the fork out of government service.

We're just a boy and a girl, standing outside America's window holding up a boombox saying, "Pick Liberty. Choose Justice. Love Democracy."

"At a certain point, this childish indulgence in an unchecked id and a bottomless compulsion to be the center of attention takes a toll on the FBI’s actual work."

Upstanding AG's respond to Congressional oversight with facts, not ad hominem attacks.

AG Bondi’s lack of decorum at today’s hearing demeans the office and further undermines trust in DOJ’s independence.

What the fork!?

This cannot be something a civilian law enforcement agent is allowed to wear in the US — and an agency that has a culture that tolerates this cannot be saved.

IRAQ WAR VETERAN: “I wouldn’t do that in a war. There are no rules of engagement I’ve ever had that would justify shooting someone in that situation… and he shot an American citizen. This should scare the shit out of everyone.”

(From Louis Laurant)

The year is 1984.

You’re watching the administration lose control of the narrative in real time.

The more they show their supporters that they don’t give a shit about their gun rights, the worse it gets.

I’ve seen over a dozen right-wing commentators call out the propaganda. That’s progress.

Holy shit.

"This isn't my FBI. I don't recognize this FBI."

Kash Patel’s FBI Is Making America Less Safe, Current and Former Employees Say Forty-five current and former employees on the changes they say are undermining the agency and making America less safe.

I'm incredibly grateful to everyone who contributed to this, and for the opportunity to be a minor part of this historic record. I encourage everyone to sit with it quietly for a bit.

Wake the Fork Up The fire's on, the water's boiling, and people are starting to feel the heat. No one's coming to save us.

The water is boiling. 🐸🔥

In our post-mortem of the American Experiment, we discuss the hard truth of 2025, and why normalcy bias is the biggest enemy in 2026.

Small peeve: Punditry (or GOP boosterism) that pretends Greenland would be the 51st state.

Of course it wouldn't. We bought the Virgin Islands from Denmark a century ago. More than 2x the population of Greenland. It's a territory, and its citizens don't have voting DC reps. Neither would Greenland.

You know it's bad when you start nodding in agreement with Joe Rogan.

This week Kayla Staph makes the case for a return to 'Integrity' in the FBI, and describes the changes she saw as an FBI Special Agent when the White House decided to acquit the guilty and condemn the innocent. Listen to the full episode now.

250 years; truer than ever.

"A long habit of not thinking a thing wrong, gives it a superficial appearance of being right, and raises at first a formidable outcry in defense of custom. But the tumult soon subsides. Time makes more converts than reason."

They’re trying to flex, to show they will not be ashamed of their crimes and utter lack of humanity. That’s why today. That’s why a school when kids are present. Bc they want you to believe they don’t know/care they are humongous criminal assholes, breaking more laws than they enforce.

It's been five years since the attack on the US Capitol. Last January Mike Romano watched four years of work bringing the rioters to justice wiped away with the stroke of a Sharpie. Find out more in this week's episode.

Michael Romano Represents the Best of Us Terrorism is the effort to coerce a civilian population or influence government policy by violent criminal acts. That’s exactly what the rioters were trying to do.

It's been 5 years since the attack on the Capitol threatened to end the American experiment.

Former DOJ prosecutor Mike Romano spent 4 years building cases against the rioters. Mike doesn't mince words. #Jan6 was #DomesticTerrorism. The pardons were the injustice.
