The CIA is keeping a close eye on Dan Crenshaw.

punchbowl.news/archive/1124...
CIA in Mexico raised concerns about Crenshaw to Langley News: CIA officials in Mexico City sent a cable to the agency's headquarters in Langley, Va., alarmed at Rep. Dan Crenshaw's (R-Texas) behavior during a congressional delegation meeting in August, according to multiple sources in the administration, intelligence community and on Capitol Hill. CIA officials raised concerns about Crenshaw's seemingly unprofessional behavior linked to drinking and decorum in the presence of the Mexican officials, according to these sources. Crenshaw was in Mexico in August as part of his role as the chair of the House Intelligence Committee's cartel task force. He no longer chairs that task force, which has since been sbanded. The CIA declined to comment for the record. The meeting also included Democratic Rep. Lou Correa (D-Calif.). Crenshaw took part in a toast that included crude language, which made women in the room uncomfortable, according to multiple sources. We reported last week that Speaker Mike Johnson and House Intelligence Committee Chair Rick Crawford (R- Ark.) banned Crenshaw from taxpayer-funded congressional delegation travel for 90 days after the incident. Crenshaw also gave up his role as chair of the cartel task force. Crawford wanted to remove Crenshaw from the Intelligence Committee, but Johnson vetoed that effort. Crawford was also aiming to strip Crenshaw of his subcommittee chairmanship overseeing defense intelligence. enshaw still holds that position.

He tracks their assets and assesses whether their donations are within an acceptable percentage such that they’re deserving of that government contract or deregulation.

We’ve long crossed the rubicon from republic to mafia state, and I don’t know that we’ll ever go back.
Trump has kept careful track of the money coming in, regularly calling O'Rourke late at night for updates. He monitors who is giving, who is not, and the role of lobbyists who bundle donations, those familiar with his efforts told us. At times, the actual donation amount is less important to the president than the percentage of the donor's overall assets. He thanks the most generous benefactors at swanky events at the White House and his clubs.

IN 1985, PRESIDENT RONALD REAGAN appointed me as a federal judge. I was 38 years old. At the time, I looked forward to serving for the rest of my life. However, I resigned Friday, relinquishing that lifetime appointment and giving up the opportunity for public service that I have loved. My reason is simple: I no longer can bear to be restrained by what judges can say publicly or do outside the courtroom. President Donald Trump is using the law for partisan purposes, targeting his adversaries while sparing his friends and donors from investigation, prosecution, and possible punishment. This is contrary to everything that I have stood for in my more than 50 years in the Department of Justice and on the bench. The White House's assault on the rule of law is so deeply disturbing to me that I feel compelled to speak out. Silence, for me, is now intolerable.

The way in which they declined was a whole vibe.
Nigeria says it won't accept U.S. deportees: "We have enough problems of our own" By Emmanuel Akinwotu (NPR) Yusuf Tuggar, Nigeria's foreign affairs minister at BRICS summit in Brazil 2025 MAURO PIMENTEL / AFP via Getty Images July 11, 2025 12:17 p.m. In an interview with Nigeria's Channels TV on Friday, Foreign Minister Yusuf Tuggar said the U.S. was pressuring several African nations to accept foreign nationals the U.S. wants to deport. "We already have over 230 million people," Tuggar said. "In the words of the famous U.S. rap group Public Enemy — you'll remember a line from Flava Flav: 'Flava Flav has problems of his own. I can't do nothing for you, man."" His comments mark one of the most high-profile rejections yet of the Trump administration's efforts to deport migrants, under threat of tariffs and visa restrictions for countries that refuse. The U.S. government has not officially confirmed it is pressing African nations to accept third-country nationals.
