Concern is mounting among high-ranking Republicans that the next generation of conservatives consists primarily of "rabid" "idiot" Nazis, according to a new report. GOP veterans have begun to fret that the pipeline feeding young conservative "talent" into government job has collapsed under the pressure of a Trumpist ideology that prefers sycophancy to smarts, Politico reported Saturday. "We have a generation of rabid, incompetent idiots," a senior GOP congressional staffer told Politico. "The organizations that bring young staffers to Washington, D.C. have spent the last decade prioritizing blind ideological loyalty instead of competence or intelligence." read more


The FBI and Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency warned Thursday that cyberattacks targeting water utilities are escalating and operators have been locked out of their operational technology networks. CISA said it was seeing a "significant escalation" of attacks targeting programmable logic controllers (PLCs) and urged water utilities to remove publicly exposed devices from the internet, according to an advisory issued Thursday. PLCs are used to automate and monitor pumps and other functions used for drinking water and wastewater treatment. The FBI said that reported attacks have spread to seven states, following the initial series of attacks earlier this week in Minnesota, according to a public service announcement issued Thursday. Operators told the FBI that certain attacks have led to flooding and reduction in water pressure.


A top U.S. general is reportedly warning the Pentagon he does not have the resources to "protect" Israel from incoming ballistic missiles amid the ongoing Iran war. The Washington Post's Dan Lamothe reported on Saturday that Gen. Alexus Grynkewich, the head of U.S. European Command, sent a written warning to leaders at the Pentagon saying that "without another Navy destroyer he will be forced to choose defense of the United States 'homeland' over that of Israel," according to officials speaking on the condition of anonymity. Grynkewich is requesting another Navy destroyer ship in order to "protect" Israel. The warning comes as the U.S. military has stretched resources to create a blockade in the Strait of Hormuz.

More than half of MAGA voters say they would support a Republican candidate accused of sexual assault, according to a new poll. In a recent Politico poll, 66 percent of MAGA voters who cast their ballot for President Trump in his last contest for the White House said they would back a GOP candidate even if "a former partner has accused the Republican candidate of sexual assault" rather than support the Democratic candidate in a hypothetical congressional race. MAGA voters showing support for a Republican candidate alleged to have committed sexual misconduct is not new. In fact, in May 2023, a jury found that Trump himself sexually abused writer E. Jean Carroll in the mid-1990s.
