During a Senate hearing to review the FBI’s FY2026 budget request, Director Kash Patel was forced to admit that, despite the law requiring it, he had no such request ready to review.
This surprising development came during an awkward back-and-forth with Senator Patty Murray (D-WA), the ranking Democrat and Vice Chair of the Senate Appropriations Committee, which oversees and approves budget requests.
Senator Murray reminded the FBI Director that the budget request was legally required “last week,” and after the director responded, she surprisedly added, “And your answer is you just understand you’re not going to follow the law?”
Soooooo, zero budget for the FBI then.
No, they get a contigency budget of 20 bucks and this pallet of expired lunchables.
Sorry, due to ‘gestures vaguely’ whatever, they’re expired, moldy Feastables, brought to you By Mr Beast Burger
Those expired lunchables will be worth a fortune when there’s nothing left at walmart!
Pallet of Mr. Beast Lunchly
Does that mean they won’t be able to notice people organizing against the Trump administration? Or is ICE the new FBI (do they have the capabilities)?
They’re already trying their best to ignore it.
By organizing, I mean to do things that would materially affect economic life, such as strikes, mass protests, road blockades etc.
How does worsening economics help defeat Trump? His campaign was basically only things that destroy the economy and he is following through on it.
His campaign are things that destroy the economy for the majority, not for the oligarchs that surround him. The oligarchs live off the labour of the many. Americans need to deny these oligarchs their labour.
So then shouldnt any effective economic protest/sabotage be specifically targeting thise oligarchs and not the broad general populace?
