F.B.I. Plans to Lower Recruiting Standards, Alarming Agents
The plan appears to be part of a broader effort to shift the agency’s focus from tracking national security threats to fighting crime.
By Devlin Barrett and Adam Goldman
Reporting from Washington
Aug. 21, 2025
The Trump administration is preparing to lower the recruitment standards for F.B.I. agents, eliciting alarm from many agents who worry that the move will undermine the agency’s primary mission of conducting complex investigations and tracking threats to national security.
Under a plan pushed by the director, Kash Patel, and his deputy, Dan Bongino, the F.B.I. will start welcoming new classes of recruits who will receive less training and no longer be required to have a college degree, according to people familiar with the plan who spoke on the condition of anonymity to describe it.
The shift comes as the agency anticipates losing more than 5,000 employees by September, largely as a result of agents, analysts and others taking severance or early retirement packages offered by the Trump administration to try to reduce the budget.
Instead of spending about 18 weeks training at the academy in Quantico, Va., the group of agents, tentatively scheduled to start in October, will receive eight weeks, according to the people. And the agents will no longer need to fulfill a longstanding requisite for joining the bureau: a bachelor’s degree.
Lowering recruiting standards will allow the F.B.I. to draw deeper from the ranks of other federal law enforcement agencies, specifically a category of criminal investigators classified in the federal system as 1811s. Investigators with that designation work at dozens of agencies, including Immigration and Customs Enforcement, inspector general offices and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives.
The new plan, current and former agents say, seems to be part of a larger effort by Mr. Patel to have the bureau focus more on street crime, rather than on complicated cases touching on financial fraud, public corruption and national security. Doing so, they added, will erode the bureau’s reputation as an elite law enforcement agency, known for its selectiveness about its recruits.

The only reason to remove the college degree requirement for FBI agents is to get more yes men. More people who follow Trump instead of the law and the evidence. Fewer willing to take on crypto schemes and other corruption in Trump world.

I, um, watched it on Netflix with Peanut…LOL
Netflix
appears to have its first No. 1 box-office title in the streaming company’s 18-year history thanks to the sensation of “KPop Demon Hunters.”
Rival studios on Sunday estimated “KPop Demon Hunters” led all films over the weekend with $16-18 million in ticket sales. Distribution executives from three studios shared their estimates for the Netflix phenomenon on condition of anonymity because the streaming company has a policy of not reporting ticket sales.
Following a dominating few weeks as one of the most popular Netflix releases ever, the streamer put the film into 1,750 theaters for sing-along screenings Saturday and Sunday. Studios are able to accurately estimate ticket sales for all releases on Sunday morning, though the uncommon nature of the “KPop Demon Hunters” releases means a wider variance. Some estimates were as high as $20 million.

I’m no alarmist, but this isn’t about crime or safety, it’s the rehearsal for martial law. And if you love this country, you better pay attention.
For 249 years, our military has been kept out of domestic policing. That’s why the Posse Comitatus Act exists. Soldiers fight foreign enemies, not their fellow Americans. The minute troops patrol our streets, democracy is on life support.
Yet here we are: Marines and National Guard deployed in Los Angeles and D.C., arresting homeless people, casting fear in migrant communities. Chicago’s next. Every major city’s on the list. This is not security, it’s a test run for martial law. Their Plan B to steal the next election.
History shows what happens. Kent State, 1970: four students killed. Watts, 1965: 34 people dead. Scared soldiers, nervous civilians, one spark, and blood in the streets. And make no mistake: that spark is the plan. Escalate until tragedy strikes, then use it as the excuse to lock down America and ballot boxes.
The facts don’t lie. Crime in D.C. is down 35% this year. LA’s numbers are low too. There is no emergency. The crisis is manufactured to justify occupation. They’re blurring the lines between military and civilian authority.
They’re not fighting crime. They’re conditioning us to accept troops on our streets. Today it’s “temporary.” Tomorrow it’s permanent.
This is bigger than politics. It’s not left vs. right, it’s democracy vs. dictatorship. You’re either concerned by what you’re seeing, or you’re complicit in it.
Our ancestors didn’t fight the British Empire, defeat fascism, and stare down the Soviets just so we’d roll over for wannabe tyrants scared of elections. We don’t kneel to dictators.
But we’re running out of time. The house is filling with smoke, and too many are still sitting on the couch pretending nothing’s burning.
What We Can Do Right Now
We can’t wait for a bought-and-paid-for House and Senate to save us. But we’re not powerless. Here’s what matters:
-Call Your Reps: Demand they speak out publicly against military deployments. (Switchboard: 202-224-3121)
-Back the Lawsuits: California already won in court, support their case and others challenging these illegal troop deployments.
-Spread the Truth: Share crime stats, write letters, call it what it is, martial law prep. Mock it, expose it, don’t let them spin it.
-Organize Locally: Build community networks, mutual aid, and rapid response to document their unconstitutional activities.
-Peaceful Resistance: Protest, refuse cooperation with unconstitutional orders, and stand up for your neighbors.
Wake up, America. Before it’s too late.

1) They just MOBILIZED MILITARY ATTORNEYS to help prosecute the civilians in Washington, DC. The only other time has happened was during martial law and during civil war reconstruction.
2) Starting this evening the National Guard in Washington DC will be equipped with firearms.
If Biden did either of those things, Republicans would be calling for the same thing that they called for with Mike Pence on January 6.

It’s a great explainer of how Trump uses lies to manipulate the media narrative he wants to project. Much like the DOGE dividend checks, his deliberately deceitful rhetoric amounts to a nothing burger.
The numbers he throws out there for the base to eat up are manufactured. It’s the only manufacturing he’s brought back to the US. His own manufactured lies.

Bernie Sanders is little more than a saboteur; all he ever does is target swing states to help Republicans win and moderate Democrats lose.
If there’s any place where Bernie’s DSA socialism shouldn’t be allowed to fester, it’s a purple state.

The entire weight of the federal government has been brought against this man for one reason, and one reason alone: he tried to get them to fix a mistake they admit they made.
That should scare you regardless of what you think of him.

Joe Biden was killing the media’s business model with his boring, competent governance and after helping push him out, they made damn sure Kamala Harris wouldn’t continue his work b/c they prefer fascism over democracy if it means their bank accounts grow.

I hear people saying people aren’t buying what Democrats are selling.
But I gotta tell you.
Democrats aren’t buying what performative progressive purists are selling either.
We’re not doing the Children of the Corn ageist shit they’re pulling either.
So something gotta give.

Federal law “does not provide authority for state agencies to hold immigration detainees. And it certainly does not let them place detention in the hands of untrained, unsupervised private contractors who are not and cannot be deputized to perform immigration functions.”

Like Black people have to say this over and over. And most know it intuitively. Some recently arrived immigrants might not but give em a few years. Some wealthy ones use status to dampen it. But its just true

Newsom isn’t breaking through because he tweets in all-caps, or uses cool memes, or trolls Trump. It’s because he’s leveling with Dem voters about Trump, MAGA, and authoritarian power.
On the pod, @whstancil and I go deep into Newsom and Dem failure:

It’s an excellent question. Jewish people cannot compare themselves to Black people. Most Black people do not deny the existence of antisemitism.. Jewish people are Europeans and they’re part of the white race and they come with special privilege and protection. Like people do not have that we cannot hide our skin color.. when you see a Jewish man or woman on the street 95% of the time you do not know that they are Jewish. 99% of the time you know that we are black.
