Thanks for the shout out @mosenfelder.bsky.social ! Here's a link to our latest #SteadyStateSentinel episode. I join him in encouraging you to take a listen and let us know what you think. #HoldFast @thesteadystate.org @johnsipher.bsky.social #JimLawler #PeterMina thesteadystate.org/podcast/

Chris Christie is right. I worked alongside + know many of the people forced out of the #FBI. They were doing their jobs, nothing more nothing less. I agree that these actions are the single most damaging thing to the long-term stability and Independence of the DOJ and the FBI. @thesteadystate.org

Go Jennifer! Leader of @thesteadystate.org communications team. #Holdfast #NoKings

No one is above the law.... What gives me hope is what we share. Because what we share is far greater than our differences. #HoldFast #NoKings @thesteadystate.org

1/ Bragging that every “single man or woman…who had anything to do with” the criminal inv of President Trump at DOJ and the FBI has been fired, resigned, or pushed into early retirement is something Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche now boasts about publicly. www.cnn.com/2026/03/26/p...

He wouldn't accept the appearance of partnership if there was no substance. He didn't hesitate to walk away - or to move forward. That was Robert Mueller's standard - we should expect no less from those entrusted with the rule of law. #FBI @thesteadystate.org open.substack.com/pub/steadyst...

'The war beyond the battlefield & why America isn’t prepared': Ex-FBI officer @lcandersonintl.bsky.social on perils of firing agents focussed on Iran counterintelligence laurencanderson.substack.com/p/the-war-be...

Wars are rarely fought on the battlefield alone. Consequences: cyber attacks, intelligence operations, infrastructure threats, and attacks on civilians. Weakening the #FBI's #counterterrorism, #counterintelligence, #cyber expertise while at war with #Iran? open.substack.com/pub/laurenca...

Honored to have this conversation with fmr #FBI colleagues. We didn't agree on everything and that's good! We agree that the FBI must be faithful to the Constitution and the rule of law. It answers to the American people & does not serve-- nor pledge loyalty to --a president or any political party.

What is your Rubicon? It's so important to think about what that line is for each of us--when it happens we have very little time to think deeply. #NationalSecurity #Democracy

"ICE has likely violated more court orders in January 2026 than some federal agencies have violated in their entire existence." Chief Fed. District Court Judge Patrick Schiltz. Respect the Rule of Law. @thesteadystate.org

Absent exigent circumstances, such as a fire or life-threatening emergency, USG may not enter diplomatic establishments. #Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations. ICE agents blocked from entering Ecuadorian consulate in Minneapolis, ministry says www.washingtonpost.com/immigration/...

The stark disconnect from reality. Facts matter. Many of the tactics discussed here are happening in the state of #Maine as well, with sworn law enforcement and corrections officers being detained by #DHS agents. @mufaloc.bsky.social @maineimmigrants.bsky.social www.wsj.com/opinion/tim-...

As a member of @thesteadystate.org we continue in our quest to share knowledge and experience from our prior careers in National Security.

Protesting is a 1st amendment right. Every American should be concerned if #DHS is randomly taking photos, videos,license plates of protesters who have not engaged in criminal or violent conduct. As former FBI I have seen this overreach before. There is no good outcome www.cnn.com/2026/01/27/u...

Process matters. Independence matters. When they're abandoned, institutions lose legitimacy. And sometimes it's choosing principle over pressure - even when it costs you your job. ⬇️ @thesteadystate.org open.substack.com/pub/laurenca...

1/ This is Miller’s pretext language for invoking the Insurrection Act. By claiming that “local and state police have been ordered to stand down and surrender,” he is redefining the relationship between Minnesota and Washington in war terms…

#KashPatel gutted the #FBI's white collar crime program, disbanded at least one public corruption squad and dramatically cut others. The #ruleoflaw has taken a backseat to the political wishes of the @whitehouse-47.bsky.social This isn't justice. www.cnn.com/2026/01/20/p...

Congressional Democrats are asking a basic accountability question: who is operating behind the masks of ICE paramilitaries. As Adam Schiff warns, “The greatest threat to democracy comes from those in positions of power who are willing to subvert the rule of law.” #holdfast @raskin.house.gov

@therealjackhopkins.bsky.social, as always, gets right to the point

"These kinds of conduct are those that undoubtedly give rise to an objective chill of first amendment rights," U.S. District Judge Katherine Menendez said, regarding #ICE activities in Minneapolis. Judge bars DHS agents from arresting peaceful protesters www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2026/...

Listen to Episode 3 of The Steady State Sentinel Podcast on January 16. Host and former FBI Executive, Lauren Anderson, interviews Amy Peck, attorney and immigration expert. Listen at thesteadystate.org/podcast or wherever you get your podcasts. @lcandersonintl.bsky.social

#AmyPeck is one of the sharpest and most thoughtful immigration and labor law attorneys in the country. She brings experience, insight, and honesty to this critical conversation. #Immigration #NationalSecurity #ICE #SteadyStateSentinel

This is what happens when you don't provide sufficient training to law enforcement officers. @homelandgov.bsky.social www.nydailynews.com/2026/01/14/i...

It's disturbing that VP Vance would make such assertions before an investigation was even underway. More disturbing is #DHS Sec Noem declaring #ReneeGood a domestic terrorist within minutes of her death. The investigation needs to progress on its own without interference from anyone.

International humanitarian law requires militaries to clearly distinguish themselves from civilians. When military aircraft are disguised as civilian ones, that distinction collapses, & real civilian planes & people become legitimate targets in the eyes of defenders. www.nytimes.com/2026/01/12/u...

Frost: For so long, the right wing has held up patriotism as a vibe, as an aesthetic. But patriotism is more than bald eagles and flags and beer. Patriotism is about loving the people who live in the damn country — every single one of them.

Regrettably, another incidence of the White House interfering in a law enforcement investigation. #StopPoliticization www.propublica.org/article/andr...

A federal judge didn’t “steal” the Commander-in-Chief’s powers—she ruled that DoD exceeded the limits Congress set. That is the rule of law working as designed. What threatens the Republic isn’t judicial review, but officials who insist they’re above it.

Saying that U.S. law bars obedience to unlawful orders does not imply an unlawful order is pending, or has been given. Our military is trained on this standard precisely so unlawful orders are neither given nor obeyed. #holdfast
