You touch the algae water? Jail. You pick up a peeling paint strip for a souvenir? Right to jail. Right away.
Breaking news: U.S. Park Police officers arrested former Olympian David Hearn on a misdemeanor charge of destruction of government property. Hearn said he touched the Reflecting Pool’s detached liner but “didn’t destroy or break or peel anything.” wapo.st/3QBU57J

New Espresso Martini on @SecretsAndSpies. Chris and I unpack the US-Iran deal that hardly warrants a victory lap, why the war may have hardened Tehran instead of breaking it, and why the Pentagon just rated Israel a "critical" counterintelligence threat. Links below.
The vibes on this weekend’s Espresso Martini… Out tomorrow morning on @SecretsAndSpies.
Serious question: Where’s Marine One been landing with the giant pack ‘n play on the White House lawn? Secret Service must be loving that with the PEOC out of commission.
It’s 2045 and Barak Ravid just tweeted that a deal with Iran is imminent.
But does a president deserve such a DNI if he very clearly does not wish to have one?
The president deserves a DNI who will competently advance the Administration's foreign policy and intelligence priorities, within the bounds of the law and the Constitution. These people exist. It does not seem Mr. Pulte is one of them.
Let’s just turn Liberty Crossing into a Spirit Halloween now. It’s time.
Breaking news: President Trump is appointing Bill Pulte as acting director of national intelligence, tapping a political supporter who heads a federal mortgage regulation agency but has no intelligence experience. wapo.st/4fT3rGe

New on @SecretsAndSpies. Gabbard's out as DNI, but the real story is how her tenure revealed what this administration truly wants from its intelligence community. Plus, the Beijing summit fallout, a Chinese spy pitch on Capitol Hill, and more. Links below.
This Memorial Day, we remember not only the men and women whose names are etched into stone, but also the quiet professionals whose sacrifices may never be publicly known. In recent weeks, another star was added to the wall at Central Intelligence Agency headquarters, a solemn reminder that some gave everything in silence, far from recognition, applause, or headlines. Having worked alongside many of these individuals, I have seen firsthand the weight they carry and the sacrifices they make, not for recognition, but because they believed deeply in protecting this country and the people in it. Some spent years away from their families. Some operated in places where even a small mistake meant they would never come home. Some gave their lives, and much of what they did may remain classified forever. Many Americans will never know their names. They will never hear the stories of the officers, targeters, analysts, and sources who stood in the shadows to stop attacks, track terrorists, warn of threats, and protect our homeland from enemies most people will never see. Yet their work mattered every single day. Today, we honor all of the fallen, including those whose families carry their grief quietly, often unable to fully speak about the service and sacrifice of the person they lost. The stars on that wall are not just symbols. Each one marks a life dedicated to protecting this nation in silence. Behind every star is a story of sacrifice, courage, and a family that carries that loss forever. We remember them. We honor them. And we owe them far more than most will ever know.
I shit myself, but I managed to clean it up a bit and moved some furniture to cover that one spot on the rug. The haters and naysayers who said I couldn’t better start applauding now.
NYT JUST SAID IRAN AGREED TO NOT CHARGE A TOLL IN THE STRAIGHT OF HORMUZ IF TRUE, THIS IS A MASSIVE WIN FOR TRUMP!
For Bibi, this is the geopolitical equivalent of De Niro in Heat deciding to turn around minutes from LAX because he just has to whack Waingro, too.
It’s hard to overstate how deeply Netanyahu views this moment as a possible personal and political defeat. A U.S.–Iran agreement under Trump would be a major blow to him mainly diplomatically, but above all politically. For years, Netanyahu built his political identity around
“SECWAR” was always just Hegseth’s new drag persona and the last three months should make that abundantly clear.
President MbS?
President Trump on Truth Social: "An Agreement has been largely negotiated, subject to finalization between the United States of America, the Islamic Republic of Iran, and the various other Countries, as listed" #Iran

My conversation with Brian Finucane on the constitutional wreckage behind the Iran war, how decades of executive overreach made Operation Epic Fury possible, and why Congress keeps letting it happen. Links below.
I’ve been putting a new writing studio together and got some gems up on the wall today.
