The Federalist: Patel's FBI Could Shine Light On Trans Shooter's Manifesto
The appointment of Pam Bondi to the Department of Justice and Kash Patel to the FBI signals a shift towards accountability and transparency in federal law enforcement. This change aims to address past abuses and restore integrity, particularly regarding the handling of sensitive investigations.
A key issue is the refusal of law enforcement to release the manifesto of Audrey Hale, the Nashville school shooter, raising concerns about transparency and potential cover-ups. The FBI's policy on "legacy tokens" has been criticized for selectively withholding information, which some argue is politically motivated. Efforts are underway to challenge this lack of transparency in court.

The Federalist: Time To End Big Gov. Payments That Cost You $14k Every Decade
The U.S. House of Representatives held its first DOGE Subcommittee hearing to address over $1.9 trillion in improper payments made by the federal government, including significant amounts in Medicaid and the Earned Income Tax Credit programs. With improper payments costing the average American household $14,000 over the past decade, there is a pressing need for Congress to take action.
Despite existing legislation aimed at reducing these improper payments, agencies often face no consequences for neglecting the laws, leading to continued waste. Proposed solutions include improving data sharing, creating a Taxpayer Integrity Office, and holding agency heads accountable for reducing improper payments. Reducing government payments overall may also help mitigate this issue.
