Laffy<p>Interesting. Via Heidi Przybyła:</p><p>👋🏻 I am leaving POLITICO today<br> <br>I’m incredibly grateful for the opp's &amp; lessons learned over 1/4 century covering epic events in DC &amp; across nation. I consider my colleagues among most compassionate &amp; patriotic Americans I know</p><p>👉🏼But we need more independent institutions &amp; new ways of delivering facts to more effectively serve you. As we look to our future, what are we to do? How can we turn the news back to you?</p><p>I have an idea &amp; soon I’ll tell you more abt it</p>
Jay Kuo<p>I can’t believe I’m saying this, but Trump wants a Fox &amp; Friends host to be our next Defense Secretary. Guy has zero experience at this. But that doesn’t matter to Trump, who has plans to remake the military.
