A new ransomware group (who I'm not giving the publicity of naming) is brazenly offering journalists early access to their data leak site in order to increase pressure on victims to make an extortion payment. I'm unaware of other recipients but the message looks mass-sent.
Acting DNI Pulte agrees to step aside Monday for the Senate-confirmed Jay Clayton.
Fauci faced a grilling because he preserved his records. The Trump administration doesn’t. "The Trump administration is actively shredding its own paper trail, preventing future accountability," FPF's @laurenleharper.bsky.social writes in @ms.now.

The easiest possible layup for a President at war with another country would be to explain that they are attacking us. Trump won't do that because he views Minnesota as a bigger enemy than Iran.
