This. Is. Fucking. Crazy.

This, I suspect, is why the #WhiteHouse is removing official Trump transcripts of his conversations. This way he can claim it wasn't him; that it was all AI- generated

#StephenMiller, the #WhiteHouse deputy #ChiefOfStaff for policy, has begun baselessly claiming that #BirthrightCitizenship has become a massive #welfare scam.

During an appearance on #Newsmax Monday evening, Miller ranted about #DonaldTrump’s #ExecutiveOrder to upend birthright citizenship, which the #SupremeCourt will weigh next month.

The New Republic · Stephen Miller Unveils Bizarre New Attack on Birthright CitizenshipStephen Miller has found a new excuse to ignore the Constitution.

I rallied yesterday to avoid cancelling a podcast recording with Emily Sander for her “Leveraging Leadership” podcast, and it reminded me of how energized I am by speaking with chiefs of staff (and folks in CoS-like roles). I spend a lot of my time with CEOs these days, but chiefs of staff are still *so* my people (and always will be)

If that’s you, I’d love to hear what CoS-focused podcasts/blogs you love and rely on? Recos and tips welcome!

I had all sorts of plans around marketing and content this week but I've been flattened by a flu I picked up from one of our crew. So let's just keep this simple.

Is your strategy (or lack thereof) working? 🤔

If so, congratulations: you don't need my Strategy During Chaos workshop on May 7th.

Otherwise, want to just pencil this right in and join me?

"Everywhere you look you have to wonder whether #SusieWiles is as much in charge as #AmyGleason is at #DOGE, whether her title of #ChiefofStaff is just a convenient fiction to cover up for the reality that #Trump does whatever the last person in the room tells him to do.

And often as not, the last person in the room is #StephenMiller."

Stephen Miller

One has to think that Trump has staffed the Federal government with the dregs he had around him, but there are simply too few competent true-believer acolytes to fill out the Federal government

Enter the few Trump Whispers, or perhaps really the single #TrumpWhisperer: Stephen Miller

"It’s not just that Stephen Miller is often the last one in the room with Trump. It’s not just that Stephen Miller’s policy ideas are batshit insane (and that he’s the author of Trump’s most egregious abuses of power). It’s also that Miller often stands in as the Word of DOGE, the Word of Trump."

#Politico reported Friday that 3 senior #Pentagon officials have now been fired as part of the leak investigation: #Hegseth senior advisor #DanCaldwell, deputy chief of staff #DarinSelnick and #ColinCarroll — who was #DeputyDefenseSecretary #StephenFeinberg's #ChiefOfStaff — have all been officially terminated. And #JoeKasper, who was Hegseth's own chief of staff, is now leaving the Pentagon for a separate job in the Pentagon.

Raw Story · 'Complete meltdown': Top Pentagon staffers fired as 'chaos' engulfs Hegseth’s inner circleBy Carl Gibson, AlterNet

Had a chat with a chief of staff this week and now my brain is puzzling all over again about my ideal clients. They’re definitely CEOs and chiefs of staff (and people in COS-like roles). But narrowing from job title is so challenging.

My COSs skew strategic — they do the ops and admin work but they thrive as thought partners and in strategy. They think of themselves as future COOs (maybe) and I see them as future CEOs (and when I say that…

RE #AdamKinzinger (Nov 08, 2024)
"despite claiming #Trump could take on foreign leaders..."

#Trump _did_ take on leaders (minus the foreign), about insulting #Milley he showed classified docs to his future #chiefofstaff ⭕ #SusieWiles a few yr ago

Remember the audio recording of this event?

General Mark #Milley (former Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff) and #JackSmith remembers

#JudgeCannon might remember, but not after becoming a #SCOTUS
