The Democrats are pivoting back to “whistleblowers are a threat to democracy” after a few years of whistleblowers being of infallible value to saving the Republic (when they had claims about Trump).
Today a group of whistleblowers are testifying at Jim Jordan’s House Committee looking into the weaponization of government:

When the hearing started, the Democrat strategy became clear: Cause chaos and try to link all the whistleblowers in some way to January 6th. There was also a healthy dose of irony.
The Democrats on the committee clearly didn’t want the whistleblowers to have time to speak:

It’s quite ironic that the Dems are now using “defund the police” as a pejorative in order to defend the “integrity” of FBI leadership past and present:

Wait, the Dems now don’t think the FBI should be among law enforcement that should be replaced by social workers?

“Tantrum” sums up the Dems today.
Shouldn’t they be in love with the idea of defunding them?

Not when they’re helping forward the Dems’ desired narratives, apparently.
Republican Rep. Kat Cammack pointed out the absolute irony in the Democrats suddenly invoking “defund the police” in a negative way, and delivered other reality checks:
