It’s the podcast series I’ve been on for five years, since the Catch and Kill pod. Audible—in my experience an independent entity within their ownership structure—put a lot into it, so that’s the only place to listen for now. Hoping people sign up to show companies we care about journalism.

This has been reported. So I'm not breaking any news. But it's amazing: Kristi Noem is literally running campaign commercials for Trump using the DHS budget. I knew this was happening from news reports. But I hadn't seen them until I saw them yesterday on the local ABC affiliate at the gym.

18F, the federal government’s technology shop, was just demolished by Musk’s team. It was a cost-recoverable org, charging agencies for their expertise, using a consulting model.

"...we’re under a well-funded, well-coordinated information assault." This is a brutal look at the GOP's very successful years-long effort to destroy fact-based media. Thank goodness @karlbode.com also includes some solid ideas about how to fix things.
