MAGA 'journalist' quietly went from covering the Pentagon to working for it
https://www.rawstory.com/pentagon-2677770800/
The Pentagon offered clarification Monday on how a prominent MAGA activist who previously received journalist credentials began working for the department.

Jennica Pounds, who operates the influential pro-Trump DataRepublican account on X, now serves at President Donald Trump’s Department of Defense as a special government employee, according to Pounds and the department.

“Ms. [Jennica] Pounds serves at the Department of Defense as a Special Government Employee and is no longer a credentialed journalist at the Pentagon,” the department said, according to CBS News national security coordinating producer Jim LaPorta.

The Pentagon said her press credentials expired in June 2026, which Pounds herself confirmed in her own social media post.

"I began working as a Special Government Employee for the Department of War (sic) in July, to serve the country in a more hands-on way," she wrote Monday. "My press credentials at the Pentagon expired in June, and I did not seek a renewal of those credentials. I currently am not a member of the Pentagon Press Corps and no longer attend briefings or events as a journalist."

A special government employee is generally a temporary federal worker, adviser, or consultant appointed to perform duties for the executive or legislative branch.

The department’s clarification follows questions about how Pounds went from presenting herself as a credentialed Pentagon journalist to working inside the department she had been covering. Neither the Pentagon nor Pounds specified what specific duties she performs.

“ I began working as a Special Government Employee for the Department of War in July, to serve the country in a more hands-on way.

My press credentials at the Pentagon expired in June and I did not seek a renewal of those credentials.

I currently am not a member of the Pentagon Press Corps and no longer attend briefings or events as a journalist.”

Remember, only 22% of US adults used twitter regularly, while the top10% of twitter users made 80% of the tweets, and that was in 2019.

Those numbers have got to be much worse now in 2026 since at least half of those people left for truth social, bluesky and threads.

Sounds qualified. Good hire. Liggerals seething is basically proof of that.

Do you inject your headcanon into every thread on this board or just the threads that trigger you?

Hey ligger, answer me this simple question. Does chopping off your dick make you a woman?
>>
This guy's constant attempted misuse of the word ligger as an insult is funny, in part because it keeps reminding me of Motorhead's song "Killed by Death"

>I'm a lone wolf ligger
>But I ain't no pretty boy
>I'm a backbone shiver
>And I'm a bundle of joy

Noticed you completely dodged the question there lig.

>Ligger means freeloader
Perfect name for commie liggerals than.

Your question's got nothing to do with this thread.

Its not even a great version of the story, the real lede is that she was supposed to be a paid government shill but is literally too stupid to do the job right. They had to announce she's on the payroll as a propagandist in response to Pound freaking out that the government was trying to set her up

https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/other/maga-influencer-outed-as-a-pentagon-employee-in-bizarre-turn-after-botching-scoop-state-dept-spox-gave-her/ar-AA2aUmzw
Jennica Pounds, who is more well-known as MAGA influencer DataRepublican on social media, was outed as a special government employee of the Department of Defense Monday. Pounds’s Pentagon employment came to light after a bizarre incident in which she claimed she was being “set up” by the deep state — but it was revealed she merely botched a “scoop” she was being handed by a State Department official.

Up until June, Pounds was a member of the credentialed Pentagon press corps. She had not disclosed her new gig with the Pentagon.

The story began to blow open on Friday, Aug. 21, when the X account for the far-right outlet AF Post wrote, “Jennica Pounds, aka Data Republican, a Department of War employee, alleges that Undersecretary of State Sarah Rogers is attempting to ‘entrap’ Pounds by providing her with information to ‘leak’ under the guise of offering her a ‘scoop.'”

Per AF Post, Pounds also believed the “Deep State” — or Rogers — was “trying to set her up to commit a crime, in this case claiming Rogers is trying to entice her to leak sensitive information.”

“It’s not okay when the Deep State sets you up to commit a crime,” Pounds wrote in a now-deleted thread. “I have never been more angry in my life.”
