Today's job


From Olivia Troye

Kash Patel threatens the safety of all Americans by prioritizing political loyalty over public safety. He is dangerous and unqualified to be FBI Director. Call these GOP Senators asap! 
  • Sen. Todd Young of Indiana (202) 224-5623
  • Sen. Lisa Murkowski of Alaska (202) 224-6665
  • Sen. Susan Collins of Maine (202) 224-2523
  • Sen. John Curtis of Utah (202) 224-5251
  • Sen. Mike Rounds of South Dakota (202) 224-5842
From 5calls.org where you can get a script and call tool for Wisconsin Senators:

Patel’s nomination has been widely criticized both by former FBI agents and Trump’s first term Attorney General Bill Barr, not only for his clear lack of experience and expertise, but also because of his plans to turn the apolitical agency into a personal revenge force for Trump. For years, Patel has made it clear in interviews, podcasts, and his own memoir that he would use the power of the FBI to attack anyone found to be disloyal to Trump. [emphasis added]

One more. Here's a bit from Kash Patel's Plots from historian, authoritarianism expert, scholar, author Timothy Snyder: 

Patel is a loyalist to Trump who has promised to pursue his enemies. The United States is in the midst of a regime change, in which Patel, if confirmed, would be useful. In general outline, the idea is to make the government as a whole dysfunctional, while preserving the parts of it that can intimidate and oppress citizens. The FBI, as the chief national law enforcement agency, will have to be transformed.
