Thank you so much for listening and supporting us. We couldn't do it without you. Hi, this is Josh Marshall.

This is the Josh Marshall podcast featuring Kate Riga.

We are coming to you on Wednesday, January 28th.

And we've had a lot of news since we were with you last. We have what you certainly know about,

the shooting murder of Alex Pretty, this VA ICU nurse in Minneapolis. We've all seen the videos and know the outlines of what happened there. And as you know, this has triggered something that is kind of new in Trump's second term.

They are in a certain kind of retreat now.

They are trying to have it be a, you know, something Trump is very familiar with, kind of a rebranding,

or something that seems like they're shifting gears, but without actually shifting gears. They dropped Greg Bovino.

There's still a little unclarity about exactly what's going on with him, but it sounds, you know,

he lost his fake title, you know, Uber

commander of Customs and Board of Control sent back to El Centro in Southern California.

There's some level of feeding frenzy. Is Christy Noem going to lose her job? I think we know that even,

what is it? Even back a few months ago, Trump made a few sounds like maybe I'm going to lose her job. I think we know that even, what is it, even back a few months

ago, Trump made a few sounds like maybe I'm done with her. Noam leaking about Stephen Miller.
