Andrew Bailey, who joined FBI in unusual ‘co-deputy’ position, to leave bureau

The former Missouri attorney general joined the bureau in a new “co-deputy director” position last year before the departure of Dan Bongino.

WASHINGTON — Another top FBI official is leaving the bureau after just a year on the job.

Andrew Bailey, who joined the FBI in the new position of “co-deputy director” in September 2025 to work alongside then-Deputy Director Dan Bongino, is stepping aside, two people familiar with the matter told NBC News. Bailey confirmed his move later Monday morning on social media.

 An internal FBI email said Bailey was leaving for family reasons, the two people familiar with the matter said. Bailey had been the attorney general of Missouri before resigning his position to join the FBI last year.

The FBI referred a request for comment to a post Bailey made on social media, stating that he wanted to thank President Donald Trump, Attorney General Todd Blanche and FBI Director Kash Patel for the opportunity.

 Housing costs are reaching into dating and sex

 In this survey study of US adults from 2000 to 2018, sexual inactivity increased among men aged 18 to 24 years and 25 to 34 years and women aged 25 to 34 years during the study period, with the increase among men mainly occurring among unmarried individuals. Men with lower income and with part-time or no employment were more likely to be sexually inactive, as were men and women who were students.

Meaning

This study found that sexual inactivity increased among US adults, predominantly younger men, between 2000 and 2018, with potential public health implications.

New Gen Z data puts the “sex recession” back in the spotlight

https://news.iu.edu/kinseyinstitute/live/news/53178-is-the-gen-z-sex-recession-real

The Kinsey Institute surveyed 2,373 Americans ages 18–29 and found that 29% had no sexual partners during the previous three months, while 19% said they had never had a sexual partner. Yet the lack of activity doesn’t appear to be explained simply by people losing interest: nearly 80% reported moderate to very high sexual desire.

 Living with parents is becoming a major obstacle to dating and sex

https://news.iu.edu/kinseyinstitute/live/news/53191-the-reason-for-the-gen-z-sex-recession-we-havent

More than one-third of the young adults in the Kinsey sample still lived with their parents. Researchers point to housing costs and lack of privacy as practical barriers to dating and sexual relationships. Sexual desire was similar whether young adults lived with parents or independently.

That connects the sex story directly to the housing crisis.

Only about 30% of young adults are actively dating

Money Trail Topples $20M Migrant Pipeline

 The U.S. Department of Justice said a federal jury in the Middle District of Florida convicted 28-year-old Lazaro Alain Cabrera-Rodriguez of Hialeah, Florida. Jurors found him guilty of conspiracy to commit alien smuggling for financial gain, conspiracy to commit international money laundering, and conspiracy to commit money laundering concealment. Prosecutors said the scheme moved large numbers of Cuban migrants into the United States for cash. The Department of Justice noted the operation generated more than $20 million for those involved.

Court filings and trial evidence described a for-profit pipeline that treated migrants as cargo. Prosecutors said the group arranged travel, coached entries, and handled payments through accounts and fronts to avoid detection. The Department of Justice reported that the enterprise was organized and sustained by money flow as much as movement. That structure allowed leaders to profit while pushing risk onto migrants and low-level helpers, a pattern federal agents target by following the money trail.

The 5th Circuit Rejects Qualified Immunity for Cops Who Searched a Driver After a Bogus Traffic Stop

 Around 5 p.m. on a Wednesday in June 2022, Mario Rosales was driving his red Mustang on Jackson Street in Alexandria, Louisiana, waiting to turn left onto Dorchester Drive, when a police SUV pulled up behind him. After the traffic light turned green and Rosales made his turn, Officers Samuel Terrell and Jim Lewis activated their lights and pulled him over.

The officers later claimed Rosales had "failed to signal" his turn. But as dashcam video showed, that was not true: The Mustang's left-turn signal was blinking as Rosales waited at the intersection. And after stopping Rosales and his girlfriend, Gracie Lasyone, who was sitting in the front passenger seat, Terrell and Lewis detained them for 21 minutes, during which the cops asked if there was anything illegal in the car, grilled them about drug use, frisked Rosales, instructed him to empty his pockets, and gave him and Lasyone the Miranda warning that typically accompanies an arrest.

Rosales and Lasyone sued Terrell and Lewis in federal court that November, arguing that the officers had violated their Fourth Amendment rights under color of law. Terrell and Lewis claimed they were protected by qualified immunity, a doctrine that bars such lawsuits unless they allege violations of "clearly established" law. A federal judge disagreed, and last week the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 5th Circuit upheld that decision, concluding that Rosales and Lasyone's allegations were sufficient to defeat qualified immunity at this stage of the case.
