  1. #Trump has pressured admin ofcls to aggressively hunt for those leaking information. But he has gone further than trying to stop the flow of unauthorized information; he has labeled “treasonous” #media coverage that is critical of the #US handling of the #war in #Iran & the shortages of munitions.

    The leaks have intensified an atmosphere of deep distrust & paranoia inside the #Pentagon, one that current & fmr ofcls say has been fostered by #Defense Sec #Hegseth.

  2. “I’ve never seen polygraphs employed this broadly or at this seniority level,” said Rear Adm. Donald J. Guter, a retired top judge advocate general for the Navy. “In my experience, it’s unprecedented.”

  17. The posts were Trump’s most explicit efforts yet to direct the #FCC to carry out his wishes. FCC Chair #BrendanCarr, a Trump appointee & close ally, did not respond to request for comment.

  18. The #FCC, led by its chairman, #BrendanCarr, called for an unusual, early review of the broadcast licenses last spring, citing ABC’s internal diversity & inclusion practices. None of the #ABC licenses, which have terms of 8 years, were up for renewal yet. Carr’s decision came after the ABC late-night host, #JimmyKimmel, angered #Trump with a monologue joke.

  19. The strikes are separate from the #Pentagon’s campaign against alleged drug boats that began last fall. Those strikes have been fiercely criticized by #HumanRights groups & most Democratic lawmakers, who say they are #extrajudicial #murders. The admin has justified the strikes by equating “narco-terrorists” with militants assaulting the #US.

  20. Dr. Anthony S. Fauci, who spent nearly four decades as the government’s top #InfectiousDisease expert, refused on Wednesday to answer any questions from a #Senate committee investigating the origins of #Covid19. Dr. #Fauci accused the committee’s #Republican chairman, #RandPaul, of having an “unhinged obsession with me,” before repeatedly invoking his #FifthAmendment right not to incriminate himself.

  21. #Trump border czar, #TomHoman, has warned that there will be more “bloodshed” unless #Democrats “shut their mouths.”

    Following the back-to-back fatal #shootings [ #murders ] of a Colombian native in Maine & a Mexican man in Houston by #ICE, the Trump admin has tried to shift the blame onto Democratic leaders who have been educating #immigrants on their #rights.

  24. American #WhiteSupremacist cavemen with #Russia are targeting #Canada with fake #AI videos and #propaganda promising a better life in the US to feed a #separatist movement in #Alberta to destabilize another #democracy in the West. But beyond that, the #US, a rogue #MafiaState in its current state, is hellbent on grabbing more oil, this time from #Canada, a clear sign of their endless #greed and #narcissism and that their #imperialist #colonizer impulses have no limits.

  25. #Trump in December authorized an $11B arms package for #Taiwan — the largest weapons sale ever to the island — but has not yet moved forward with delivery & even acknowledged that he’s discussed the sale with #Xi. He’s groused that Taiwan “stole” America’s #semiconductor business & called on Taiwan to pay the #US for protection.

  26. #Trump #DOJ #antitrust head Gail Slater stepping down less than a year after being appointed.

    In July, Reuters reported 2 of Slater's deputies were fired for “insubordination” after a settlement greenlighting #HewlettPackard Enterprise's $14 billion acquisition of #JuniperNetworks. The move exposed a power struggle within Trump's admin between proponents of robust antitrust enforcement & dealmakers seeking to #leverage #influence.

  33. #BorisEpshteyn earned #Trump’s trust by overseeing his legal team after Trump left office & is regularly at the White House, admin ofcls said.

    Some of the #LawFirms privately worried about negotiating with a lawyer who wasn’t employed by the govt & didn’t have a govt email address, some of the lawyers said. But they decided talking w/Epshteyn was their best path to avoid a govt investigation or executive order, the people said, after determining he had serious sway w/Trump.
