Great story from @frankietaggart.bsky.social at @afpfr.bsky.social about the disaster that is the Democratic Party's communications operation. Message discipline and simple language are Comms 101 staples. It's past time for "the resistance" to learn it.

Just finished Moon/Harsh Mistress. I found the prose pedestrian the trowelled-on libertarian stuff a bit much. I prefer to be entertained rather than lectured about politics. But the story was otherwise pacey and well-told. I'd read another (provided it wasn't entirely narrated in a Russian accent).

Given CNN seems to be relying on my reporting on Kash Patel & QAnon for this segment, I want to respond to the Trump transition team's statement.
My reporting was not about "guilt by association." Patel's association with & praise for QAnon was multifaceted & for a significant period of time.
