In public, President Trump has defended his national security adviser in the wake of the Signal leak. But behind the scenes, he has been casting around for advice. Read an inside account of Trump’s deliberations over what to do about Michael Waltz.

Absolutely, and it was the Black press that aggressively investigated the latter-facing threats of criminalization. Wrote about it earlier this month as Trump laid the groundwork at the DOJ for targeting journalists in the same manner: open.substack.com/pub/nicolefc...

Make it local. Republicans hope to dodge accountability, but their local papers can make that harder. Write letters to the editor and contact reporters. Urge them to ask: Why is your GOP rep backing Trump’s unconstitutional power grab?

The people now in charge of the Office of Personnel Management apparently don’t know how to scrub PDF metadata, and have exposed the original authors of the guidance they’re publishing. Two, Noah Peters and James Sherk, have links to the Heritage Foundation and Project 2025.

"Peter Thiel, longtime Trump supporter and billionaire master of the universe, published an op-ed in Financial Times that perfectly replicates the experience of being cornered by a sweaty cokehead at an Austin, Texas house party."
I Have No Idea What Peter Thiel Is Trying to Say and It’s Making Me Really Uncomfortable
In a rambling op-ed for the Financial Times, the master of the universe ranted about the JFK conspiracy, ‘The Decameron,’ immortal rulers from ‘Gulliver’s Travels,’ and Jeffrey Epstein.

If someone's primary function as a leftist is curation -- dividing leftists whose politics are good enough from those who should be condemned for their insufficiencies -- plz understand, that's brand work. That's not organizing. It's not building anything. Those people aren't offering you anything.
