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.
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.

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.

A recent @ScottWRasmussen poll found 75% of the DC-based feds making $75K+ who voted for Kamala Harris in the last election said they would not follow a lawful Trump order if they considered it bad policy.
So, yes, it matters that Sikorskyji previously worked for Schiff.
In fact, Sikorskyji spent 2.5 years as a senior advisor to Schiff while he chaired the House Intelligence Committee👀
He "played a key role in complex congressional investigations."

What was Schiff up to at this time?🤔
Oh yeah, he was insinuating he had access to secret documents proving Trump was a Russian asset. As head of the Intel Committee, Schiff might have had such access. Only problem? The documents didn't exist.

The House censured Schiff in June 2023 for abusing "positions of extreme trust" by "alleging he had evidence of collusion that ... never existed."
When Russiagate fell apart, Schiff's committee led the charge to impeach Trump over a phone call with Ukraine's president.

Sikorskyji also served on Biden's National Security Council and in the Department of Homeland Security under Alejandro Mayorkas.
He has an impressive resume, but he's definitely a political animal.

A @HouseIntel Committee spox told me the committee (now under @RepRickCrawford) “does share the concerns about federal employees, particularly ones in the Intelligence Community, who cannot separate their politics from their jobs.”
🧵9/10
A spox for @HouseIntelDems told me,“Lucian Sikorskyj’s work on the Intelligence Committee focused on the bipartisan oversight of the Intelligence Community, particularly counterterrorism.”
The spox noted Sikorskyji worked over 20 years in both Dem and GOP admins, and said "all members" of the Intel Committee valued his expertise.

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.
The Southern Poverty Law Center, which trades on its history bankrupting the KKK to smear conservatives as secret supporters of "white supremacy," has put the largest conservative youth org—@TPUSA—on the "hate map" with Klan chapters.
Every year, the SPLC puts out a new version of the "hate map," partly to scare donors into ponying up cash and partly to "cancel" its opponents—cutting them off from polite society.
This year, the "hate map" includes Turning Point USA.

The SPLC accuses Turning Point and its founder, @charliekirk11, of propping up "white Christian supremacy."
Now, if Charlie Kirk were racist & theocratic, would Turning Point have a presence on more than 3K campuses?🤔
The EEOC under Biden tried to rewrite federal law to force gender ideology on state and local governments—and on every company that hires at least 15 people.
@KenPaxtonTX and @Heritage sued.
This week, a judge threw out the EEOC guidance.

Bear with me: the case is complicated but as I lay it out, you'll see just how outrageous it is.
Also, please bookmark the first post in this 🧵, so you can go back to it. I'll walk you through how Judge Matthew Kacsmaryk just eviscerated the Left's false narrative.
Colorado LGBTQ groups pushed for HB25-1312, a bill that would define "misgendering" and "deadnaming" as "coercive control" and mandate custody courts consider them.
Democrats excluded parental rights groups from discussion, comparing them to the KKK.
🧵2/10
The bill passed the Colorado House, 36 in favor, 20 against, and 9 absent in a largely party-line vote.
The Colorado House has 43 Dems and 22 Republicans. The Colorado Senate has 23 Dems and 12 Republicans.
Who are the Biden political appointees who "burrowed in" to the federal bureaucracy?🤔
The list includes a former White House Environmental Justice Advisory Council member, former USAID staff, and immigration lawyers.
I'll explain "burrowing in," then get to the names.

First, what is "burrowing in?" @hughhewitt gave a good concise definition in an interview with me at @JobCreatorsUSA's Freedom Fighters Summit
Presidents appoint more than 3K people for "political" positions, but there are at least 2.3M federal workers. Most are in ostensibly non-political "career" positions.
Burrowing in involves switching from a "political" to a "career" position.

Why is this a problem?
“The biggest challenge that every single new Cabinet secretary and their subordinates will face is the entrenched bureaucrat,” @TheFGA's @stew_whitson told me.
He described both overt opposition to the president and “quiet insubordination.”
