The Fount of USIC Corruption (SSCI) is Wee Wee'd Up Over Tulsi!
"Tulsi Bad!"
The response from Chairman Tom Cotton and the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence to the action of DNI Tulsi Gabbard was predictable.
The SSCI has now framed the Intelligence Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2026 [LINK] to modify the “responsibilities and authorities of the Director of National Intelligence.” [Section 402]
We knew this was coming. The Intelligence Community does not like rogue actors amid their ranks, especially if those people have cross-silo access. The silo system is designed to protect the Deep State. Any entity who can cross reference the inserted information becomes a risk to the enterprise.
Senator Cotton cannot directly oppose Tulsi Gabbard without exposing himself. Thus someone, not the SSCI, writes the legislative changes to the Intelligence Community rules and procedures and Tom Cotton simply advances them. That’s the way DC operates.Additionally, Chairman Cotton does not want the DNI to investigate or generate its own intelligence. Cotton demands the ODNI just accept and regurgitate the intelligence Tulsi Gabbard would be given by the other agencies; no independent review of analysis permitted. All of these actions push the Intelligence Community power center back into the CIA and away from the prying eyes of the DNI. That’s the SSCI motive.WASHINGTON DC – A top Republican senator is proposing a sweeping overhaul of the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, slashing the workforce of an organization that has expanded since it was created in the wake of the Sept. 11 attacks.In the lead up to the election I outlined what the DNI could do with untapped power already given to the office. DNI Tulsi Gabbard has been following a path close to that outline. Now, we see Washington DC responding to that affirmed power structure and actively working to neuter the DNI. A very predictable outcome.
Under a bill by Sen. Tom Cotton of Arkansas, the chair of the Intelligence Committee, the ODNI’s staff of about 1,600 would be capped at 650, according to a senior Senate aide familiar with the proposed legislation.
ODNI’s workforce was about 2,000 in January, but National Intelligence Director Tulsi Gabbard has already overseen a reduction of about 20% as part of the Trump administration’s drive to shrink the federal workforce. The reduction in the staff Gabbard oversees could weaken her role in the intelligence bureaucracy.
[…] The attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, exposed a failure to share information across spy agencies with catastrophic results. As a result, Congress established the ODNI to oversee all of the country’s 18 intelligence services, including the CIA, and manage bureaucratic turf wars from a complex outside Washington, D.C.
What started as a relatively small office under the national intelligence director in 2005 has expanded over the last 20 years to include in-house analysis teams and centers focused on counterterrorism and counterintelligence. Cotton has described the ODNI as a bloated bureaucracy that should return to its original mission of coordinating the work of other spy agencies instead of producing its own reports and duplicating other agencies’ efforts.
“Congress in no way wanted yet another unruly bureaucracy layered on top of an already bureaucratic intelligence community,” Cotton said at Gabbard’s confirmation hearing in late January. “Unfortunately, 20 years later, that’s exactly what the ODNI has become.”
Gabbard herself expressed support for downsizing the ODNI’s workforce at the hearing, saying she would work with Cotton and other lawmakers to eliminate “redundancies and bloating.” (read more)
The only intelligence silo more corrupt than the CIA is the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence that oversees it.

Why MAGA LOVES Trump! (virtu vs. Virtue)
In Machiavelli's political philosophy, virtù (often translated as "virtue" but with a different meaning than the common English usage) refers to the qualities and skills a leader needs to succeed in a complex and often unpredictable world. It's not simply about traditional virtues like honesty or compassion, but rather a combination of qualities like skill, courage, boldness, and the ability to adapt to changing circumstances. A leader with virtù can effectively seize opportunities and overcome challenges, even if it means employing methods that might be considered morally questionable by traditional standards.
Beyond traditional morality:Machiavelli believed that a prince must be willing to act virtuously when it benefits the state, but also be prepared to act immorally when necessary to maintain power and security.Adaptability and cunning:Virtù emphasizes the ability to assess situations and act accordingly, even if it means employing deception or cruelty.Controlling one's destiny:Machiavelli contrasts virtù with Fortuna (fortune or chance), suggesting that while external forces can influence events, a leader with virtù can mitigate their negative effects and even turn them to their advantage.Pragmatism over idealism:Machiavelli's concept of virtù is highly pragmatic, prioritizing the stability and security of the state above all else.Example of Cesare Borgia:Machiavelli often points to Cesare Borgia as an example of a leader who possessed virtù, demonstrating his ability to use both strength and cunning to achieve his goals.Not about inherent goodness:While Machiavelli acknowledges the importance of appearing virtuous, he believed that a leader's actions should be judged by their results, not by their adherence to traditional moral principles.
MAGA's not that into virtu

Trump Slips Not So Deftly into the NATCon Camp
Peter Thiel and the National Security State Now Officially Run the Country
My Greatest Fears Have Now Been Realized
Refilling Our Hallowed Halls without Any Hollow Men
His critique is not against America as a whole—but against its leadership class.
The American Enterprise Institute is an unlikely place to be reminded of why Donald Trump was necessary ten years ago, and is no less needed now. But a comment by Yuval Levin on a recent AEI panel succinctly brought out the difference Trump has made. Criticizing today’s populist, Trump-led Republican Party, Levin said, “The Right has to ground its approach to the public in a more conservative message, in a sense that this country is awesome. It is not a festering burning garbage pile—that is a strange way to talk to the next generation, and it’s not true, even a little bit.”
Trump has never used the words “festering burning garbage pile,” but he’s used similarly strong language to describe America’s condition in this century under administrations other than his own. Trump’s slogan “Make America Great Again” implies that America hasn’t been great lately, although he and his voters can change that. Whenever Trump alludes to what Levin calls “a festering burning garbage pile,” he’s referring to the poor leadership our country has suffered from in the not-too-distant past and the results of its misgovernance.
But that’s not what Levin or other AEI types hear. To them, Trump’s criticisms of the ruling class sound like criticisms of the country. It would be unfair to guess that Levin simply believes the nation’s elite and the institutions they run are what counts as the country itself, but there are precedents for such a view. In traditional monarchies and aristocracies, the rulers are the embodiment of the realm. Our Declaration of Independence was quite radical in breaking away from that understanding, asserting that the people are the realm, and all its institutions are answerable to them, not the other way around.
Levin and other intelligent non-populist conservatives know this, and they’re well aware of the failings of the pre-Trump Republican Party, and the country’s political establishment as a whole. But knowing and feeling are different things. Much of what survives of the pre-Trump conservative movement even now feels that the virtues rather than the vices of the old elite (and the institutions with which they are almost synonymous) ought to be emphasized.
For reasons that are easy to understand, many temperamental conservatives have an abiding fear of demagogues and an irreverent public. However corrupt or incompetent Ivy League-educated leaders may be, they should not be criticized too harshly—likened to flaming rubbish, for example—lest Ivy League education itself be stripped of its mystique. That mystique is part of the decent drapery of republican life, instilling a proper attitude of deference among the public toward those who have the education and lifestyle preparation to lead them.
From the moment he came down the escalator a decade ago, Trump upended this system. He pays no heed to the norms that distinguish America’s leadership class from the rabble the way noble bloodlines distinguished leadership in traditional hierarchical societies. Trump draws strength from the weakness of America’s elites and the widening public awareness of their vices. This is why he is again and again rewarded for violating the very norms the elite considers sacrosanct, even to the point of winning the Republican nomination and then the White House last year despite a slew of criminal convictions and many more pending charges.
In three consecutive elections, Trump has not merely offered voters a choice of leaders but a choice between systems of government. The capaciousness of our republican Constitution is such that within its framework more than one kind of regime is possible. The “informal regime” can be considered the regime of society as well as government, or a regime that in operation reflects the real dispensation of authority within the country.
Most Americans have sadly little familiarity with even the letter of the written Constitution, and even most educated Americans have never entertained the thought of an informal regime. Indeed, much of the country’s elite (think about the typical Atlantic writer, for example) suffers paroxysms of panic over Trump’s words and actions because its members conceive of the informal regime under which they’ve lived their whole lives—and under which people like themselves flourish—as being the only natural outcome of the written Constitution. To violate the “norms” of this regime is to violate the Constitution itself, as far as their understanding can conceive.
It’s rare that voters get to make a choice not just between candidates but between regimes. The greater and lesser George Bush, the male and female Clinton, Bob Dole, John McCain, Mitt Romney, Al Gore, John Kerry, Barack Obama, Joe Biden, and Kamala Harris all represented the same regime and norms. Trump differs from them all not only in policy but in the relationships he represents between the people, elected power, and institutional elites (both inside and outside of government).
Trump at last gave the American people a choice of regimes, with one regime—represented by his enemies, not just in the general election but in the Republican Party, too—operating on aristocratic presumptions and the other being a reassertion of popular self-government, including its characteristic parrhesia and even vulgarity. Crude materialists who understand power only in terms of wealth struggle to interpret Trump, because he and many of his associates obviously belong to the same affluent class as his enemies. Yet just as Christ said the poor will always be with us, so too does every regime, formal or informal, have its rich men. The regime is not defined by the existence of a wealthy group; it’s rather about relationships and authority, and that is what Trump has changed.
This change was necessary because the old regime had already destroyed its own legitimacy. It performed poorly for millions of ordinary Americans, but beyond that it had also grown arrogant. Its norms were not a limitation on its power or abuses but rather a gag stifling criticism from within or below. The new regime that’s in the making will have its own defects and will be in need of various corrections, but the test of a regime lies precisely in its ability to correct itself. The old elite had lost that ability and would hardly have had the will to exercise the capability even if it had still been there.
Trump is not a revolutionary who has overthrown a healthy order. Rather he, like the American revolutionaries of 250 years ago, has given the people a chance to be healthy again by ridding themselves of a debilitating regime. Americans had been tricked into living under an aristocracy within the form of a democracy.
Thomas Jefferson had hoped that voters would freely and democratically choose natural aristocrats as their leaders. Instead what happened in recent decades was that an aristocracy against nature established itself as an authority that could rule through a multiplicity of institutions regardless of voters’ choices at the ballot box. Universities, nonprofits, the media, the permanent federal bureaucracy, judges, political professionals within both parties, and other interlocking, ideologically aligned (broadly “liberal”) components could forestall any challenge—until Trump came along. He gave the people a radical choice, and they sided with him against the aristocracy.
If the elite really had consisted of the natural aristocrats in whom Jefferson placed his faith, the people might not have felt the need for a Trump. The aristocracy that confronted them, however, was an aristocracy of privilege, one consisting of haughty mediocrities, not natural geniuses or public-spirited heroes. Replacing one of these aristocrats with another, or one of their cabals with a different cabal, would have made no difference. What the people needed was an alternative to the entire system—and Donald Trump gave them that alternative.
Guardians of institutional prestige such as Yuval Levin—men of conservative temperament who see the need for a well-formed elite within a popular regime—shouldn’t abjure Trump, however. Only by making America more democratic again, more populist, can it be made more aristocratic in the sense the Founders intended. The people have to want an aristocracy, and they will only want one that serves them faithfully, selflessly, and competently.
Trump has to restore the people’s power over the elite before the elite will feel the need to reform. That will save America’s institutions, not destroy them.

Will Wes Moore (D-MD) be the Belle of the Ball in 2028?
...the allure of playing Hard-to-Get
Moore is the Larry Hogan (R) of the Democratic Party
(a familiar figure from within the DC Beltway)
Pamela Wood, "Gov. Moore returns to hush-hush ‘billionaire summer camp’"Gov. Wes Moore is traveling to Idaho this week to participate in the Sun Valley Conference, a retreat that's been dubbed "billionaire summer camp." (Ulysses Muñoz/The Baltimore Banner). The Sun Valley Conference in Idaho is a top destination for business, political leaders. Maryland Gov. Wes Moore is heading back to “billionaire summer camp” this week, a trip to Idaho that involves both personal and political travel.
Officially known as the Sun Valley Conference and hosted at a mountain resort by the investment firm Allen & Company, the cloistered multi-day event attracts tech and media CEOs, investors and politicians.
“This week Governor Moore will travel to Idaho for both personal and political travel. He will participate in events at the Sun Valley Conference as well as vacationing with his family,” Moore spokesman Carter Elliott IV said in a statement on Wednesday in response to questions about the trip.
Elliott added: “The governor’s lodging and travel expenses will not be covered by the state.”
This is at least the second time Moore has traveled to the Sun Valley Conference as governor. In 2023, about six months into the job, he headed to Sun Valley with a mission to raise money for the Democratic Governors Association. At the time, Moore was finance chair for the DGA, responsible for raising campaign cash for fellow governors.
Moore isn’t the only politician in Idaho this week. Others reported to be attending include Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin, a Republican; former Rhode Island governor and U.S. Secretary of Commerce Gina Raimondo, a Democrat; and U.S. Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, a Democrat.
Moore, Raimondo and Youngkin have all been floated as potential presidential contenders in 2028 — though Moore insists he is “not running.”
In recent weeks, Moore has taken trips to Democratic events in South Carolina, an NAACP dinner in Michigan and a festival hosted by ESSENCE magazine in Louisiana.
The Sun Valley guest list is secret, but publications have figured out many of the attendees through leaks and watching people show up to the airport and the conference.

Thoughts for the Progressive Paranoiac
The Dawn of Real Authority...
...from Real Violence
...& Birthing Symbolic Authority from Its' Shadow in the Process
Mladen Dolar concisely formulates Hannah Arendt's reflections on authority. Symbolic authority essentially functions as a postponed threat, a suspended force or violence. It works as authority only for as long as it does not need to directly deploy force. The moment it does, authority loses its authority.
In relation to authority, authoritarianism starts at the opposite end. It begins as an already lost authority. It usually starts with force and the realization of threats and tries to make its way back to the impossible point of the coincidence of symbolic authority with the real. In authoritarianism, authority is over-realized. Authoritarianism is all about realization. We do things and efficiently, not just talk about them. Yet at the same time, this realization is desperately trying to reach the point of symbolic efficiency. That is the efficiency of talk itself, which remains inaccessible to it. This inaccessibility is the driving force of the surplus, realization, and efficiency. The flood of executive orders we are witnessing these days is not merely a strategy to overwhelm the opposition. It is also a need that drives this particular authoritarian order which operates through a peculiar combination of paranoia and perversion. Or should we say that in the position of symbolic power, paranoia becomes a form of perversion.
