Having now observed the Hegseth and Trump speeches, I'd describe their approach as "soft purge." Both made references to making things uncomfortable for those not aligned with their worldview. Creates a basis for gradual firings and resignations going forward.

ICYMI, the sex abuses are terrible and real, but this is the story that Putin and Trump absolutely don't want you to know. Part four of our series on Epstein's influence activities reveals his involvement with Russia's decades-long war on the west.

📄 EXCLUSIVE: Epstein was close with Vitaly Churkin, a Russian Ambassador with close ties to KGB head Vladimir Kryuchkov. Kryuchkov and Churkin brought Trump to Moscow in 1987, and may be the link to Robert Maxwell. New, original reporting.

It’d be great if America could get past the reflexive blame game after every shooting in this country and start focusing on the actual root causes: gun culture, gamer culture, young men getting radicalized online, and mental health. Otherwise, it’s just going to keep happening—left or right.

What I am saying is there are dots here that no one has either identified or connected. And Greg and I are in touch. All good.

What an honor to meet up with the brilliant and lovely Morgan Fairchild in Baltimore this afternoon. You may know @morgfair for her prolific acting career, but her interests run from counterterrorism and geopolitics to climate and information warfare. #bigbrains

FBI just notified me that they dropped a bunch of new stuff on Henry Kissinger — first big release since his death nearly two years ago. Warning, file under 'sleep aids' — most of it seems very dull but there may be some gems in there. Happy hunting!

4/This is the first part of a multi-part deep dive into the network around Epstein and SFI. While SFI has produced otherwise interesting work, there are also aspects that have led to unexpected outcomes. It's 'complex,' and we've been blinded by prurient, monotonous coverage that benefits Russia.

3/And we exclusively report that SFI was cited in Project Russia, the Kremlin's plan for undermining the West which had not been previously translated into English. Whatever Epstein and the Maxwells believed they were doing with SFI, the Kremlin believed that SFI was waging societal warfare.
