Been busy in the old journalism mines today (not everyone gets a $150m payout). Good to see the NYT and WaPo leading w/the Trump-is-about-to-start-a-civil-war story. (though not framed as dire. nyt is full of live updates; wapo is "Trump’s use of Guard may have lasting impact on cities and troops")

Megyn Kelly has now made multiple denigrating posts about me across X, YouTube, her podcast so I’m sharing this. Unlike her, I don't perform dislike and disdain in public,then become my real self when the cameras are off. That's the definition of the grift she accuses me of;I find it profoundly sad.
