White House official inadvertently reveals plans to send elite army unit to Portland
Anthony Salisbury displayed chat about deployment of 82nd airborne division on cellphone while in Minnesota
Oh look, another White House Signal scandal.
This time it was an aide to Stephen Miller who was using Signal so openly in a public space that a bystander captured images of the chat.
Oh and the messages were about sending the *82nd Airborne* into Portland.

And so it begins. Wag The Dog. From the man who promised those who voted for him peace on earth. Who knows how this will end. But it won't be good for any of us.

Trump Administration Live Updates: House Votes to Claw Back Funds for Public Broadcasters and Foreign Aid
If Trump is throwing a $50 million military parade for himself even the most rabid MAGA person has to understand that cutting funding for public radio and television has nothing to do with fiscal responsibility. It has everything to do with keeping you in the dark. www.nytimes.com/live/2025/06...

My latest @GBH News story is about attempts by the Trump Admin to strip nonprofits of funding and power.
Nonprofits serve as the linchpin of Civil Society, a buffer against authoritarianism.
