The Federalist: John Bolton’s Shots At Kash Patel Are A Sign Of Panic In DC
John Bolton's criticism of Kash Patel highlights the anxiety within Washington regarding Trump's incoming administration and its reform plans for the FBI and Justice Department. The attacks on Patel are seen as attempts to undermine Trump's agenda rather than genuine concerns about Patel's qualifications.

The report suggests that millions remain enrolled due to automatic renewals, leading to questions about the necessity of these subsidies. To address this inefficiency, it is proposed that Congress allow the subsidies to expire, end automatic renewals, and increase penalties for misreported incomes.
