I saw the report in the New Republic yesterday, skimmed it and didn’t realize it wasn’t SECDRUNK himself because I had no idea he had a brother anywhere in government. Now I’m going to look up how long his brother has been in government work because I’m wondering if he’s been feeding his bro classified gov info when SECDRUNK was a TV shill or if his brother got the job as one of many unqualified people due to nepotism and never worked at the federal level before.
Fortunately, that TNR memo is getting loads of circulation and reposting, so let's not act surprised when we see elements of the 82nd Airborne patrolling Blue cities alongside ICE.
Something awful happens multiple times a day and we are entrenched deeper and deeper into a dictatorship. I don’t feel very hopeful about getting this country back! It’s good to hear democrats wanting to finally play fire with fires when it comes to gerrymandering, but we still seem to be playing defensive, waiting to see what Texas will do first! Can we not be more proactive? Like the Texas democrat house members creatively fleeing the state to prevent a quorum. Our senators could have fought harder like them to block all the horrible appointments to key positions that locked in Republican power.
Dig deeper, same brother who showed up at high level DoD meetings also with Pete's wife. 6 months ago. We were appalled and stay appalled at their lack of understanding national security and security clearance guidelines. And no way should military be in ICE. Thanks, Jay, for uncovering the start of another scandal, let's get all of it out in the open.
Yes but why? Most Substack writers do their writing in one place. I’m paying for this one and will not pay for a second one. The article on the other site was free but if that changes I’m out.
Honor and Integrity do not run in the Hegseth family it appears!
Nor does honor and integrity run in trump & his family, congress, the R senate & R house
Or anywhere among his Cabinet appointees
And they are so stupid stupid stupid!
The do run...away.
I knew the first, not the second. But I'm sadly not surprised.
I read the TNR report. I’m not shocked that they are going there. I’m deeply sad and angry that our democracy is crumbling.

I could be wrong but I think that SECDRUNK (ha!) put him there.
Their mother has double the reason to be ashamed of her progeny. And considering her famous letter to Pete, she knows it.

Will the military be masked and unidentified, too? Will they be there to protect the people or ICE?
And now that the DC Circuit has a new prosecutor they can start having AA meetings in the Cabinet room.

...and yet Epstein beckons from afar.
Watch Trump wriggle out of this one too.

Holy shit...
Jay, I am inundated with subscriptions. Why do you create several separate ones rather than one main channel?
He doesn’t. He just also writes for The Big Picture which is George Takei’s Substack.
Yes but why? Most Substack writers do their writing in one place. I’m paying for this one and will not pay for a second one. The article on the other site was free but if that changes I’m out.
I worry that some day only the people that can afford it will get the news. That leaves out lots of people.
He is a friend and supporter of George. You can still read what he writes there.
But I’m paying to read here. As long as the second site is free I’m fine. I’m not paying for two sites.
I have the Big Picture on my phone. The work you is crucial.
They are all traitors!
What is the shortest beverage between two Hegseths,
using a Smoot as one unit of measure? The Smoot being chosen because
of its having been the head-to-foot measurement of a Smoot as he
was lying down (whether or not he was sober I don't know).
This sounds vaguely familiar. & I do get emails from The New Republic, so it might have been from a headline there.
I've read about both already
