It's me, hi | Writer. Co-host, @secretsandspies.bsky.social | linktr.ee/fultonmatt
New @secretsandspies.bsky.social! Rising political violence across the West, the wild news that Mahmoud Ahmadinejad was Mossad’s man in Tehran, Pickaxe Mountain, Japan’s GRU problem, and that time I got drunk on the Naval Academy superintendent’s yacht with former DCI James Woolsey. Links below.
Someone on my discover tab Photoshopped Mitch McConnell’s proof-of-life photo with Andrew Tate’s arrest outfit and then the app refreshed and I’ll never find it again.
Every few weeks, the same forecast: Putin's finally finished. A purge, losses in Ukraine, a grim Victory Day. But he's a resilient nemesis. On @secretsandspies.bsky.social, I asked ex-CIA station chief Sean Wiswesser why that prediction keeps failing — and who will run Russia the morning he's gone.
Circling back here… This piece of shit — in league with his piece of shit compatriots, Benny Johnson and Dave Rubin — is well known to have been funneled up to $100k every week for a single YouTube episode wherein he’d "distribute content to U.S. audiences with hidden Russian government messaging".

New episode's out on @secretsandspies.bsky.social! I talked to Shane Harris about Tulsi Gabbard, that WaPo story on her guru -- and how you, too, are probably more qualified to be the DNI. Links below should you venture a watch or listen.
Always great speaking with Shane — the weirder and more distressing the reason, the better. Check out @secretsandspies.bsky.social tomorrow for our full conversation.
Best believe we already got the artwork for @secretsandspies.bsky.social's next Espresso Martini locked.

You touch the algae water? Jail. You pick up a peeling paint strip for a souvenir? Right to jail. Right away.
New Espresso Martini on @secretsandspies.bsky.social. Chris and I unpack the US-Iran deal that hardly warrants a victory lap, why the war may have hardened Tehran instead of breaking it, and why the Pentagon just rated Israel a "critical" counterintelligence threat. This one's packed. Links below.
The vibes on this weekend's Espresso Martini... Out tomorrow morning. @secretsandspies.bsky.social
Weather update: Decamped to a different bar — this one on the C & D Canal. Been clouding up all afternoon, then the sun peaked out a bit. Still muggy as shit, not that I’m bothered by it though.
I’m at bar on the Chesapeake Bay about 90 mins north of DC and, let me tell you, it’s muggy as shit today.
“We’ll do Nord Stream, but draw the line at Tate.” The kids aren’t watching Aleksandr Dugin clips all day. Come on, guys.
It’s 2045 and Barak Ravid just tweeted that a deal with Iran is imminent.
New on @secretsandspies.bsky.social. Gabbard's out as DNI, but the real story is how her tenure revealed what this administration truly wants from its intelligence community. Plus, the Beijing summit fallout, a Chinese spy pitch on Capitol Hill, and more. Links below.
“You got an AWACS killed by a $20,000 Shahed for a ‘commitment to negotiate?’”
I shit myself, but I managed to clean it up a bit and moved some furniture to cover that one spot on the rug. The haters and naysayers who said I couldn’t better start applauding now.
