Summary
Jon Herold comes in Thursday fired up about a document, which means it is a good day. Trump's new National Counterterrorism Strategy names the intelligence community itself as a domestic threat actor, calling it out for being weaponized against Catholics, school board parents, members of Congress, and Trump's own administration. Jon calls it a Badlands boop and encourages everyone to watch last night's Devolution Power Hour for the full breakdown. He also flags that John Solomon appeared on Bannon today with nearly the exact same election interference story he ran two months ago, and wonders out loud whether Solomon has been cut off from new source material. A federal judge ruled the DOJ gets to keep all 600 boxes of Fulton County 2020 election records, which Jon cautiously calls a good sign. Jeffrey Epstein's alleged suicide note was just unsealed, and Jon has questions about why it took this long and which suicide attempt it is actually from. Spencer Pratt is running for LA mayor with viral campaign ads, the national debt just crossed 100% of GDP with almost no coverage, and the DOJ is asking the Supreme Court to pause the $83 million E. Jean Carroll verdict using the Westfall Act.
