BREAKING: #IowaCaucuses results with 62 percent reporting: Buttigieg 26.9 percent; Sanders 25.1 percent; Warren 18.3 percent; Joe Biden 15.6 percent; Amy Klobuchar 12.6 percent; Andrew Yang 1.1 percent. pjmedia.com/election/live-…
Important to note: in the current slate of results, Bernie Sanders seems to have won the first round of the caucus (initial preference) and the "popular vote." Supporters of the non-viable candidates are choosing Buttigieg.
Also key: Joe Biden LOST votes in between the rounds. That means he wasn't viable in many counties. This is an even bigger story, I think. #IowaCaucuses didn't have to damage Biden, but this might really weaken his electability argument.

The Senate refused to re-confirm Jeffrey Baran for the Nuclear Regulatory Commission in 2023, but taxpayers ended up on the hook, anyway.

How?🤔

Here's the story.

🧵1/6 Image
President Biden re-nominated Baran, who had served on the Nuclear Regulatory Commission since 2014, but a pro-nuclear group raised serious concerns about Baran's opposition to policies that enabled nuclear energy.

His renomination bid failed in the Senate.

🧵2/6
No matter. He'd just "burrow in," taking an ostensibly "nonpolitical" role in the federal bureaucracy.

He joined the Department of Energy as deputy asst. sec. for waste & minerals management. Got a pay bump, too.

🚨BURROWING IN

A woman who helped Kamala Harris demonize Brett Kavanaugh in 2018 now works at the Defense Department under President Trump😲

I previously wrote about Samantha Goldstein.

Since my original report, which notes her op-ed claiming that Trump—her current boss—is "unfit to hold office," I learned two crucial things: Goldstein's political donations & what she did w/Harris.

🧵2/10

Goldstein gave more than $12K to Democrats, particularly the Harris campaign and the DNC, last year.

While bureaucrats can, of course, contribute to whichever campaigns they wish, this shows she still opposed Trump after the 2019 op-ed.

Apparently, smearing conservatives really does pay.

The SPLC puts mainstream conservatives on a "hate map" with the KKK, silencing its opponents & scaring donors.

I went through its latest tax filing, which lists accounts in the Cayman Islands👀

🧵1/8

dailysignal.com/2025/07/09/pov…
The SPLC admitted having an account in a foreign country, the Cayman Islands.

The SPLC also listed $30M in offshore accounts in "Central America and the Caribbean."

This may actually be a decrease from $92.6M in "non-U.S. equities" SPLC reported in 2017.👀

"It's very odd and frankly raises suspicion that a nonprofit organization would have accounts in places like the Cayman Islands, or as they reported $30 million in Central America," @libertycounsel's @MatStaver told me.

Naturally, SPLC refused to answer my questions.

Did the SPLC just admit that it's anti-Christian?🤔

This year's SPLC "hate map" includes @TPUSA & @PragerU alongside KKK chapters.

But SPLC also made a key blunder that undercuts its previous claims not to be "anti-Christian."

SPLC puts mainstream conservative & Christian groups on the "hate map" alongside Klan chapters, claiming it's the "infrastructure upholding white supremacy."

My book, "Making Hate Pay" explains how SPLC uses this to demonize opponents & raise 💰

In 2010, the SPLC added conservative Christian groups to the "hate map," branding them "anti-LGBT hate groups." At the time, SPLC intentionally did not put @FocusFamily on the hate map.

In 2012, an LGBT activist targeted @FRCdc for a mass shooting, using the map.

What if I told you a top advisor for Adam Schiff during Russiagate and the first Trump impeachment "burrowed in" to the federal bureaucracy and apparently is still there?😲

If anyone seems likely to oppose the Trump admin from within, it's him.

Meet Lucian Sikorskyj.

According to his verified LinkedIn profile, he serves as an associate administrator for security and hazardous materials safety at the FAA.

President Biden brought him in as a political appointee, but he switched to a "career" job in September.

🧵2/10 Image
So what if some FAA safety staffer once worked for Schiff? Why should I care?

It's called "burrowing in." Presidents appoint 3K people for "political" positions, but most of the 2.3M federal workers are in non-political "career" roles.

🚨UTTERLY INEXCUSABLE

The anti-conservative bias at the FBI goes deeper than you think.

This week, @ChuckGrassley exposed how more than 1,000 FBI staff responded to the notorious anti-Catholic memo citing the SPLC, and it's not pretty.

🧵1/8

dailysignal.com/2025/06/05/fbi…Image
According to Grassley's office, FBI Richmond disseminated the anti-Catholic memo to 1,000+ staff.

"No one contacted FBI RH with concerns, suggestions, or negative feedback," the report states. The office "only received positive input."😲

THAT in itself is a scandal.

🧵2/8Image

The FBI almost never comments on such things.

Yet the day after a whistleblower published the memo, HQ deigned to speak to the likes of me.

The memo, you see, "does not meet the exacting standards of the FBI."

Talk about an understatement.
