If only UN stratcomms existed as a tool of charter enforcement, it might circumvent SC 's lame duck ineffective existence a little. Imagine UN surragates carrying Volker's condemnation and why, in a coordinated fashion across global media.

🫢 Ummm, Duh. I am aware that StratComms are a huge part of “party administration,” if not THE most important aspect in 2026.

Coda: Here’s @nytimes.com 2013 report on its parting ways w @bostonglobe.com. At that time, we were living in #MoCoMD. I was newly divorced and ReSkilling from Journalism into #StratComms. News of the sale in 2013 made me Misty-Eyed, if also glad that the DMV market offered me many #MassComm options

This is insane from any strategic communications professional, much less a stratcomms *team* in the *White House*

Campaigns are won, they don’t win themselves
The Biden campaign has no plans for paid ads involving the verdict, a source tells me. That cannot set the tone for the whole party. There's a big opening to use this against not just Trump, but also Rs who attacked our system to put him above the law.
