i googled after seeing this post on bsky.

this from june 5th:

A 22-year-old college grad with no security experience is now leading a government terror prevention team: ‘Putting the intern in charge’
Thomas Fulgate’s leadership of the Center for Prevention Programs and Partnerships has raised alarm bells

snip

Before taking up the new leadership responsibilities, Fulgate was hired as a “special assistant” in an immigration office at the Department of Homeland Security.

The department told The Independent that Fulgate was “temporarily given additional leadership responsibilities” in CP3 “due to his success.” Staffers he works with, however, have likened meeting with him to “career counseling” while expressing shock at how little he appears to know about the role, the outlet reported.

According to Fulgate’s LinkedIn profile, he worked as a gardener briefly in 2020 before embarking on fellowships and internships, including at the conservative Heritage Foundation. He worked on the Trump campaign last year where he attended the Republican National Convention. He also served as secretary general of a Model United Nations club.

He also shared photos in recent months at the White House. In one post, he gushed about taking “the first major leap” of his career.

and a tweet from sen. chris murphy:

"As our nation girds for possible Iranian terrorist attacks, this is the person Trump put in charge of terrorism prevention.

22 years old. Recent work experience: landscaping/grocery clerk.

Never worked a day in counter-terrorism. But he’s a BIG Trump fan. So he got the job."

and this weirdo's wiki page begins: "Thomas C. Fugate III (born 2002 or 2003)"
