NEW — An obscure Navy contractor program is making Trump’s plans to quickly build out and supply immigrant concentration camps around the country a reality. Here I explain WEXMAC TITUS, an acronym you need to understand:

there was never going to be a world in which the right didn’t claim the left was celebrating the death of charlie kirk, no matter how respectable anyone tried to be.

i just sent this email to @ezraklein.bsky.social

Ezra-

Your piece on the death of Charlie Kirk was reckless, insulting, condescending, and worst of all, a piece of hagiography. For someone who claims to honor history and context in your work, it reads as if it was written by someone who respects neither of those things. 

What does it mean to practice politics in the "right way"? For whom does a "taste for disagreement" benefit? Certainly not the vulnerable populations—trans people, Black women, and more—who Kirk routinely targeted with hate speech and calls for violence. 

When I was a college intern at NBC News Washington in 2008, I would watch your MSNBC appearances on the monitor in our office. At that point I could only dream of having a platform like yours, which has grown exponentially since then. Now that I have a platform (albeit it much, much smaller than yours) and I couldn't fathom using it to gaslight the country into believing a hateful man stood for a public good. Maybe it's time to consider how you're using yours.

I am genuinely confused by all this pageantry. He was not an elected official. I cannot think of another time a regular citizen being killed garnered this response. It’s perverse.

I planned to share my report on the body cam footage early next week when I learned that a DC news station had obtained some of the footage as a result of my lawsuit and they were going to scoop me. After working on this for a year, I couldn't let that happen. Published 2 mins before they aired :)

SCOOP — Body camera footage obtained as a result of my lawsuit against the DC Metropolitan PD confirms DOGE and the Trump administration openly admitted they were entering private property when they raided the building on March 17, 2025. That didn't stop MPD from breaking down the doors. My report:

New—Kristi Noem just sent out this farewell message to DHS employees listing her "accomplishments." "MOST secure border in history, 3 million illegal aliens have left the US..located 145,000 children, FEMA delivered disaster relief at a 100% faster rate...saved $13 billion." Full text shared w me:

Subject: Message from Secretary Kristi Noem

Dear Department of Homeland Security Employees,

I want to thank you all for the tremendous work you do to keep the Homeland safe, defend American citizens, and protect our way of life. It has been the honor of my life to serve as the Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security and lead you.

Over this period, the Department of Homeland Security achieved historic accomplishments to make America safe again: we delivered the MOST secure border in American history, 3 million illegal aliens have left the U.S., we have located 145,000 children, FEMA delivered disaster relief at a 100% faster rate, we ushered in the golden age of travel, saved the American taxpayer $13 billion and revitalized the U.S. Coast Guard.

Our mission is never complete. I cannot thank you enough for your sacrifice day in and day out to ensure that your families, loved ones, neighbors, and fellow citizens are secure.

I look forward to continuing to work with you all in my new role as Special Envoy for the Shield of the Americas - Western Hemisphere.

Now, I will be working alongside Secretary Rubio and Secretary Hegseth to dismantle cartels that have poured drugs into our country killing our children and grandchildren. In my new role, I will be able to build on the new partnerships and national security expertise I forged over my time as Secretary of Homeland Security. The Western Hemisphere is critical for the safety and security of the US.

I want to thank President Trump for giving me this special privilege to lead this Department.

My last day as Secretary of Homeland Security will be March 31, 2026.

Our success would not have been possible without your hard work. You are all great Americans.

God bless you all and our nation,

Kristi Noem
Secretary of Homeland Security
