Me in the national security team Principals Committee via Signal™ group chat

Goldberg said the level of detail in the targeting package that he received via Signal was down to the *names of individuals* to be killed. That’s the good stuff that includes all kinds of sources and methods and never should have been outside a SCIF. I’d be in prison if I fucked up that bad.

That woman and man are Marines. The Corps should be ashamed to be drawn into such a petty and grade school level of misogyny and racism at the expense of its Marines.

While each day does bring some fresh new flavor of impending doom - March had this far been very calming as I get to channel most energy into taking care of L and our now 2 week daughter. Time with them and cat and mostly keeping them all well fed and happy has been therapeutic.

The Army deleted my “Why I served” video where I talked about how I decided I wanted to attend West Point/join the Army after one of the cadets my family used to sponsor died in combat. Probably deleted because she was the first black woman to be CSM at West Point.

A shame & makes little sense if the point is to mprove government. PMFs are hired from all over the country in a variety of specialties. They often work their two years in jobs above their pay grade and aren't guaranteed employment following the fellowship. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...?

The measles outbreak in Texas is reminding me of the public letter Roald Dahl wrote about losing his daughter to measles in 1962, just before the vaccine was publicly available.

The prayer that Mike Johnson attributed to Thomas Jefferson did not come from Jefferson. It came from a 1928 Episcopal prayer book. But the idea that *Jefferson* said it; that it is evidence the US was founded as a “Christian nation” … hoo boy where *that* came from is … well not surprising actually

Had a merry New Year's. Eve tradition with wife of making ravioli from scratch (ricotta, mushroom, onion) with n/a sparkling apple and pomegranate juice topped w Italian blood orange soda. Enough left over filling to add to new year's day grilled cheese.
