🚨THE BIDEN BURROWERS

How does Adam Schiff's Russiagate advisor end up in the Trump admin?

How does the woman who helped Kamala Harris demonize Kavanaugh end up in the Trump DOD?

My investigative series exposes a potential deep state threat in the second Trump admin.

🧵1/10
The phenomenon is called "burrowing in."

Presidents appoint 3K people to political positions, but there are 3M+ supposedly non-political career roles in the government.

Biden's appointees moved into these career roles, and many remain under Trump.

Who are they?🤔

🧵2/10
First, let's mention Lucian Sikorskyj, a former advisor to Adam Schiff's House Intelligence Committee during Russiagate.

Now, he's at the FAA under Trump. To say this raises questions would be an understatement.

Next, Samantha Goldstein.

She advised Harris during Kavanaugh hearings. She also wrote an op-ed saying Trump is "unfit to hold office."

She's entitled to her opinion, but if she still thinks that, why is she working in the DOD under Trump?!🤔

Andrea Delgado-Fink served on Biden's "environmental justice" advisory council, and now she's in the Trump admin, which is rightly rooting that DEI nonsense out of the government.

The USDA Forest Service confirmed to me that she's still there...

🧵5/10 Image
Sarah Scheinman worked as a lawyer on Joe Biden's campaign team in 2020, and Biden appointed her to the Office of Management and Budget.

Now, she's an attorney-advisor in the DOJ's antitrust division—under Trump. She posted this pic in Feb.

Jeff Baran served on the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, but the Senate refused to confirm him when Biden re-nominated him.

He burrowed in, then took the buyout. He won't pose a deep state threat, but his burrowing cost taxpayers.

🧵7/10

Tina Thomas worked closely with Obama AG Eric Holder.

Yes, the man who weaponized the DOJ, pushed Critical Race Theory, & got held in contempt over Fast & Furious. She helped him on redistricting.

Now, she's an assistant U.S. attorney in D.C.

🧵8/10

Image
Jeff Rezmovic may not technically be a burrower, but he represents the ghost of Mayorkas in the Trump DHS.

Biden appointed Rezmovic DHS CFO, but withdrew the nomination. Rezmovic worked closely with Mayorkas & he's still working at CBP.

🧵9/10

Image
I don't have certain evidence that these people are working to oppose Trump from within the administration, but my series highlights the potential deep state threat they may pose.

They represent the echoes of Obama and Biden policy in an admin dedicated to rooting out those policies.

🚨ANTI-CHRISTIAN BIAS

The Justice Department just released its report on eradicating anti-Christian bias in the federal government, and it shows that the Biden administration was worse than we knew.

🧵1/8

dailysignal.com/2026/04/30/bid…Image
“The Biden admin generally tolerated religious beliefs that were privately held but zealously pursued actions to limit Christians’ ability to act in accordance with their faith,” the report states.

1⃣ANTI-CHRISTIAN ENFORCEMENT

The Biden DOJ targeted pro-lifers, FBI cited the SPLC to go after Catholics, IRS denied a church tax-exempt status for "Republican" beliefs, and the Department of Education brought hefty fines against Christian colleges.

🧵MASSIVE HATE HOAX

After the DOJ indictment, I figured I'd go over my years of research on SPLC. In this thread:

Exaggerating Hate
Inspiring Violence
Demonizing the Right
Cancel Culture
Internal Revolts
Ties to Antifa
Defamation Lawsuits



🧵1/25 dailysignal.com/2026/04/26/spl…
Why listen to me? I wrote the book.

In 2020 I published "Making Hate Pay: The Corruption of the Southern Poverty Law Center." My basic thesis: SPLC raised money by fighting the Klan, but ran out of grand dragons to slay. So it juices the numbers to exaggerate "hate."

🧵2/25 Image
The SPLC publishes a "hate map" & exaggerates hate 3 ways:

1⃣Highlighting groups that barely exist
2⃣Listing different chapters as a different "hate group"
3⃣Including mainstream conservative and Christian groups, suggesting they're a threat like the KKK once was.

🚨WHAT DID SHE KNOW?

Michigan Sec of State Jocelyn Benson was on the SPLC board when it was funding white nationalists. She’s touted her history with SPLC while running for governor. I asked her campaign for comment: no response.

🧵1/9

dailysignal.com/2026/04/24/mic…
According to the DOJ, SPLC sent $3M to KKK members, neo-Nazis, a Charlottesville “Unite the Right” organizer, and more. SPLC didn’t deny this-it claimed these people were “informants,” helping SPLC foil violent plots.

🧵2/9
While the KKK firebombed the SPLC’s offices in 1983, the indictment covers 2014-2023. During that time, SPLC exaggerated hate by putting mainstream conservatives and Christians on a “hate map” with Klan chapters.

🚨DISAPPEARED

Multiple race-based scholarships have disappeared from the American Medical Association Foundation's website after @donoharm sent a letter to the IRS warning about potential racial discrimination.

🧵1/6

dailysignal.com/2026/04/24/ama…Image
“The AMA Foundation appears to have removed the discriminatory scholarships at the heart of our IRS complaint—a tacit admission that our concerns were warranted,” Do No Harm Chief Medical Officer Dr. Kurt Miceli told me.

🧵2/6
Most scholarships are still on the website, but the ones Do No Harm flagged have disappeared.

The Association of Black Cardiologists Scholarship is now gone.

🚨FLIPPING CHARLOTTESVILLE ON ITS HEAD

The DOJ indictment doesn't just reveal that the SPLC was paying a Charlottesville organizer—it helps flip the Left's whole narrative about the "Unite the Right" rally.

🧵1/10

dailysignal.com/2026/04/22/blo…
We now know that the SPLC paid one of the Charlottesville organizers $270K between 2015 and 2023, that they allegedly supervised this person's "racist postings" and helped coordinate transportation for white nationalists😲 That's new.

🧵2/10 Image
But before the rally, the SPLC also arguably enflamed passions and sparked white nationalists by releasing a map with every Confederate monument across the U.S.—including schools and military bases named after Confederates.

🚨VINDICATION

In 2020, I wrote "Making Hate Pay" about the SPLC's corruption. I knew they scammed donors by inflating "hate," and I suspected they were planting racists...

Now @FBIDirectorKash and @DAGToddBlanche confirmed my suspicions.

🧵1/9

Image
As I testified before @JudiciaryGOP last year, the SPLC publishes a "hate map" that it claims reveals the "infrastructure of white supremacy" in America.

The hate map includes:

1⃣ random people with no impact
2⃣mainstream conservatives
3⃣people on SPLC payroll.

🧵2/9
I've been analyzing this hate map for years, noting that the SPLC pads the numbers, partly by including groups for no reason other than their disagreement with the SPLC's hard-left agenda, and partly by listing every single chapter of an org as a "hate group."
