  1. Fannie Mae Hit by Turmoil in Senior Ranks as at Least 10 Executives Depart (some not by choice) ~

    "The upheaval at Fannie Mae adds to the already uncertain outlook for the housing market. A global selloff in the bond market this week sparked concern over rising inflation and higher borrowing costs, leading the Treasury Department to launch an unusual intervention" (that didn't work).

    #trump is going to use unconfirmed interim #pulte to distribute “settlement” money to his allies, then use him as a shield for those payments. #uspol

  3. @indivisibleteam #47 has the nerve to call Maines next Senator a pig. But he appoints a real pig #pulte who has no Intel background to DNI. #bs

  4. Democratic members who were expected to vote yes voted no and the Senate blocked a deal to renew the warrantless surveillance authority known as Section 702, in protest of Trump’s appointment of Bill Pulte as acting director of national intelligence

    One good thing that has resulted from Pulte's rise in the administration.

  5. theguardian.com/us-news/2026/j. Bill #Pulte is the wrong person for the job of #DNI, having no #qualifications or #experience whatever in the fields of #security or #intelligence. Sacking a load of people in the #US intelligence #community is precisely the wrong thing to do, &, far from "Making #America Great Again", it will weaken America vis-à-vis its enemies.

  6. I assume journalists in Norway had a heyday yesterday, as Bill #Pulte became boss of... something... Many headlines appeared on the form of "Pulte ny sjef!" (Pulte (is) new manager).

    "Pulte" is past tense of the verb "å pule", that directly translates to "to fuck".

    This one basically means "Fucked the new intelligence officer"

    Clickbait was easy yesterday.

  7. @dougiec3 But how bad is he really? This bad ⬇️

    “But pointing out that Pulte is unqualified for his new job doesn’t convey the extent to which Trump is trolling America with this new appointment.

    For Pulte isn’t merely unqualified for a sensitive national security position. He’s unqualified, intellectually and morally, for any government position. All he has are the qualifications that matter to Trump: he is a shameless lackey and willing hitman for Trump’s vendettas.

    Who is Pulte? He’s a wealthy nepo-baby, the grandson of the founder of PulteGroup, the nation’s third-largest residential builder. He likes to present himself as the face of the family business, but as a devastating New York Times profile last year explained, he was pushed off PulteGroup’s board in 2020. The family’s charitable foundation has issued a statement that “Bill Pulte does not represent, nor is he a spokesperson for, all members of the Pulte family, in any capacity.”“

  8. “He wants to punish everyone he imagines has wronged him but has lost all interest in making the government work, even for nefarious purposes. So he don’t need no intelligence, just someone who will indulge his rage. And that will be Pulte’s job.

    Just to be clear, I am by no means saying that Trump’s descent into rage-madness has ended the threat to U.S. democracy. The Koch-backed Federalist Society, which now controls the Supreme Court, is going all in on rigging U.S. elections with the goal of locking in permanent Republican rule. The architects of Project 2025 are marching ahead with their goal of turning the federal government into a spoils system that answers only to billionaires and their political pawns. Politicization of research funding is getting very close to destroying a scientific community that took generations to build.“

  9. Donald Trump has picked housing regulator Bill Pulte as acting director of national intelligence, angering Democrats and baffling some Republicans by installing an ally with no known national security experience to the post.

  10. Tom Nichols: "Donald Trump doesn’t really have a conception of national security because he has no conception of any interest beyond himself and his own circle."
