An Open Letter to Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard open.substack.com/pub/contrari...

BREAKING: Gov. Hochul will NOT remove Mayor Eric Adams. Add another name to the list of Gutless Cowards.

So Gov Hochul won't remove Trump's corrupt mayor!! There are no guardrails that hold 47 in check. Where is her spine?

If Senate Democrats agree to budget deal if Republicans play ball with them, what's next? There's not a trustworthy Republican in the Senate. So after getting Democratic support they go back on their word whatever it might be and 47 rages on. So disappointed in so-called minority leaders.

They Broke It. They Own It. open.substack.com/pub/contrari...

Older and long serving members of the House of Representatives and the Senate who see themselves as targets for 2026 might well consider retiring early and mentoring viable successors.
