3. The President makes the decision about what, if anything, should be done about it. The President can ignore the intelligence and even the NSC in making that determination.

2. The National Security Council takes that assessment and combines it with an understanding of our vulnerabilities and interests to derive an assessment of risk. They also make policy recommendations about how to address that risk.

1. The IC analyzes and warns about threats, including how serious and imminent they are. This is their main job. Note these assessments are just about what the threat actor wants to and can do.

Does the intelligence community warn of imminent threats? After speaking with my students, I’ve decided to offer clarification of the threat warming process.

In my view, you’ve made a profound insight with the “Cassandra song”, in which you identify the basics of the Cassandras’ argument. It strikes me that it’s related to the base argument of an ideology.

As a past Cassandra on another issue — Bin Ladin and al-Qa’ida — I found this article insightful on every level: the base argument made by Cassandras, that they were able to see that there was a pattern in the noise and distraction, why they could see it, and why they are ignored is familiar.

Re Mark Kelly, I’m watching A Few Good Men and it got me wondering, what IS the penalty for a bringing false accusation against a senior officer?

Socialism is not Communism. Democratic socialism is not “pure” socialism. Crack a book, or stop supporting lies for your agenda, whatever that is.

Republicans said decades ago that you can’t help everyone, including the “12%” who did not have insurance. They haven’t changed. Why think they will change now?

The hard ones are trusting yourself when the hand-picked lawyer for the senior person — often the President in our case— says its legal but you are pretty sure it isn’t.

Before the midterms of 1866, President Andrew Johnson called his congressional opponents traitors and said they should be hanged. Voters were so profoundly moved by his words... that they gave his opponents a supermajority in Congress, and the nation got the Fourteenth Amendment.

Hegseth’s speech today is one more indication they plan to invade other countries and declare martial law in our own. Why not comply with the laws of war? To invade. Why practice in cities? Why emphasize “brutality”? Etc etc.

It’s hard to know for sure, but I think we need to focus on getting our sense of community back, physically and inclusively. We can be divided when we don’t interact enough

The last political column I was allowed to write in the @washingtonpost.com was a criticism of Obama. His people took issue with my piece, but we were respectful. Now he is tweeting in support of me. This is how free political speech and respect for debate *actually works*. Or used to work.

Tweet From Obama mentioning my firing from the Washington post. Wirh a photo of me

And so, what real plans do protest groups have to contain those few who may use violence?

Cindy Storer @cindystorer.bsky.social · 11/06/2025

And if so, what are the odds Trump is trying to spark violence nationwide so he can declare martial law?

So is it just me, or does anyone else think these plans to deploy the national guard all over are preparation for protests this coming weekend?

Notably, in his media availability in El Salvador, @vanhollen.senate.gov truthfully keeps saying that Abrego Garcia was "illegally abducted" and "disappeared" instead of the more antiseptic, and factually incorrect, "deported."

He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harass our people, and eat out their substance.

He has refused to Assent to Laws, the most wholesome and necessary for the public good.
