- Does Joe Rogan have buyer’s remorse? Watch him come out swinging for due process. There’s a creeping sense that the right has overreached among many former Trump supporters.

- Reposted by Rush DoshiThe NATIONAL SECURITY ADVISER added the EDITOR OF THE ATLANTIC to a PRINCIPALS COMMITTEE TEXT CHAIN set up for the DEFENSE SECRETARY about PLANNED MILITARY STRIKES. Here's a thread of involved parties talking about the need for secure communications (when Dems are involved):

- The destruction of DOD’s Office Net Assessment will be celebrated in Beijing & Moscow. This little-known but enormously consequential 50 year-old institution actually thought long-term. It helped us win the Cold War, grasped the China challenge early, and figured out revolutions in warfare.
- “Trust me, bro” is not an argument. Business insiders have used government to make money for literally millennia. Crony capitalism dates back to Ancient Rome. Spare us the moral outrage for being held accountable.

- “You juke the stats, and majors become colonels. I’ve been there before.” - Roland ‘Prez’ Pryzbylewski www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...
- Tired: Rug pull random crypto investors Wired: Rug pull your political supporters Inspired: Rug pull the entire country
- One day after Trump berates Zelenskyy, Musk calls for the US to leave NATO.
- While we threaten the Canadians with tariffs and annexation, they’re standing with us in the Taiwan Strait. There’s no coherent or systematic logic to the Trump administration’s coercion of allies right now. It’s all just vibes. focustaiwan.tw/politics/202...
- Asahi Shimbun, leading Japanese newspaper, has a sharp take on the “Gulf of America” drama and the decision to ban AP: “What is going on in the White House is foolish beyond belief” H/t @tobiasharris.bsky.social
- “I expect you will eventually find someone who is enough of a fool, or enough of a coward, to file your motion. But it was never going to be me.” Scotten served three combat tours in Iraq as a U.S. Army Special Forces Officer and earned two Bronze Stars. Clerked for Roberts and Kavanaugh.
- Had this to say in Nahal Toosi’s column on Trump China policy. “Trump helped create the bipartisan consensus on outcompeting China, & his staff generally gets it, but many people worry that his policies from trade to TikTok to Taiwan risk making China great again." www.politico.com/news/magazin...

- Kash Patel is reportedly (1) on SHEIN’s payroll, (2) appears to have concealed or understated these relationships, (3) *won’t divest while being FBI director* and (4) supports cutting efforts to counter PRC influence.
- Disturbing ties between Kash Patel and SHEIN — a PRC company implicated in forced labor in Xinjiang. He has millions in shares and won’t divest. Especially concerning amid reports that DOJ/FBI is going to reduce focus on PRC influence efforts in the US. Full detail below from Roger Sollenberger:

- The new acting Undersecretary of State for Public Diplomacy — State’s top public diplomacy official: 1) not only denies the Uyghur genocide but appears to applaud it 2) says the US should sell out Taiwan to China for concessions in Antarctica (???)
- Hey chat, is this cope?
- Did they fire the Special Security Officers for doing their jobs? Never heard of anything like this. You can’t simply walk into a SCIF and access a classified system, even if you have clearance!
- Trump's top defense official for Southeast Asia on cutting aid to the Philippines: "The US might begin a cooperation spiral with China by proposing to remove US military forces or weapons systems from the Philippines in exchange for the CCG executing fewer patrols..."

- It’s more a “don’t trust the guys hacking your critical infrastructure to run your social media, bro” kind of thing
- Is that really the CEO of TikTok sitting next to the next Director of National Intelligence — Tulsi Gabbard — at President Trump’s inauguration? Evidently, yes.
- TikTok had 268 days to sell itself so it wasn’t operated by China. That would have solved everything. But they didn’t even try. China wouldn’t let them. Now, with time short, they want Biden to ignore a bipartisan law SCOTUS upheld 9-0. If they shut down, it’s on them.

- Mike Pence on today’s certification of Trump’s win: “…it being particularly admirable that Vice President Harris would preside over the certification of a presidential election that she lost.”
- This account just opened up, reposted all my posts, and simply added “121” to my handle in an effort to pretend to be me. @rushdoshi121.bsky.social
- And just like that, another has emerged… @rushdoshi121.bsky.social is falsely claiming to be me.
- Friends, please help me report this false account that is impersonating me. It’s @rushdoshl.bsky.social 1) The brilliant handle innovation was to substitute the “i” in Doshi for “I” 2) It’s also reposted all my old posts, which is sort of dispositive evidence of intentional deception.

- Actually X is still kinda fun. You can troll anyone there.
- There are apparently loyalty tests for those who seeking to serve in foreign policy, defense, and intel jobs in Trump 2.0. They’re administered by Charlie Kirk, Sergio Gor, and John McEntee: - What did you think of January 6? - Was the 2020 election stolen? www.nytimes.com/2024/12/07/u...
