The Pentagon has appointed a rioter convicted for his role in 6 January, 2021 insurrection to a sensitive national security role dealing with counterterrorism, overriding insiders' concerns about his past record.
Elias Irizarry, who pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor charge in connection with the storming of the US Capitol, has been appointed to a position in the US Department of Defense's special operations and low intensity conflict office which manages highly classified military operations, causing alarm among Pentagon officials.
The story was first reported by the Washington Post, which published a picture of Irizzary " holding what appeared to be a metal pole and wearing a pro-Donald Trump Make America Great Again (Maga) hat " looking over a wall on the day of the riot.
A bed bug infestation at an Agriculture Department building is riling agency staff, reigniting frustrations over remote work policy and making at least some employees sick. The bugs were found in the building that houses the Animal and Plant Inspection Service, the agency responsible for containing and mitigating the spread of invasive pests in the U.S. The irony, one USDA employee said, "was lost on no one." The George Washington Carver Center in Beltsville, Maryland, first notified employees of the situation in mid-May, according to five employees familiar with the matter and a transcript of a town hall meeting obtained by NOTUS. The department opted to send employees home and allow them to telework for a few days to fumigate the building.
George Santos, the former lawmaker who lied about his background, got expelled from Congress, and then became a convicted fraudster, is reportedly being investigated for insider trading. The probe, NPR reported on Tuesday, centers on Santos' comments about February's State of the Union address and his alleged bets on Kalshi, a prediction market website. On February 23, a day before Donald Trump's address to Congress, Santos posted a video on X in which he said he would attend. The odds on Kalshi that Santos would show up subsequently rose and remained relatively high. Its peak was 76 cents"meaning a wager of that amount would win $1. A "no" bet of 24 cents would thus carry much more value.
