Why The Steady State Could Help Save America

Inside The Steady State: The Veterans and Officials Quietly Working to Save Democracy

(And Why You Should Follow Them Immediately)

Let me ask you something that cuts through the noise:

Who’s actually trying to save the damn country?

Because it sure as hell isn’t the ones with slick podcasts…or…daily rage-bait clips. (although, those can play an important role.)

No. The real defenders of democracy?
They’re not loud. They’re not flashy.

But they’ve got something more valuable than a Twitter blue check or a Super PAC ad budget.

They’ve got experience.
They’ve got intelligence.
They’ve got skin in the game.

And some of them go by the name…

The Steady State

If you don’t know them yet, buckle up. Because what these men and women are doing might be the only grown-up effort left standing between our fragile democracy and the full-blown fascist tailspin we’ve been sliding toward since Trump oozed onto the political stage.

Who Are They?

The Steady State is a coalition of over 300 former national security officials…military veterans…intelligence professionals…and civil servants who served across Republican and Democratic administrations alike.

Let that sink in.

These are not keyboard warriors.
These are not “influencers.”
These are men and women who held the keys to nukes…negotiated ceasefires, protected diplomats, thwarted foreign spies, and ran federal agencies while you were still trying to figure out how to spell "QAnon."

They didn’t show up for clout.
They showed up because they saw something terrifying:

That our institutions…the very backbone of the republic…were being gutted in real time.

They watched Trump defang the Department of Justice.
They watched him turn DHS into a bludgeon.
They watched ICE, FBI, CIA, even the Pentagon start to buckle under the weight of authoritarianism.

And they said, “Not on our watch.”

Why They Matter More Than Ever

This isn’t just about partisanship.
It’s about preservation…of the Constitution….of rule of law…of the very idea that facts still matter and government isn’t a weapon for personal vengeance.

The Steady State has issued reports…held briefings…signed public letters…and quietly advised lawmakers…all while the rest of the country chased the latest dopamine hit of political outrage.

They were the grown-ups in the room.
They still are.

In an era where “loyalty” means bowing to Trump instead of defending the oath you swore to the Constitution,The Steady State is one of the last beacons of professional… patriotic resistance.

They’re not asking for likes.
They’re not begging for followers.
But I am.

Because we need their voices louder.
We need their credibility amplified.
We need their audience to explode…and fast.

Who’s Behind It?

Some of the most respected names in national security circles.

Retired generals. Intelligence veterans. Former ambassadors.
People who still live by their oaths…even when no one’s watching.

They’re bipartisan.
They’re principled.
And they’re scared…because they’ve seen this before…just not here.

Think tanks can’t do what they do.
Podcasts can’t replicate their intel.
And social media rage isn’t going to protect civil liberties when Trump’s enforcers start rounding up enemies.

But these folks?

They know exactly how to stop it.
And they know who to talk to behind closed doors to make things happen.

If They Had a Super PAC, You’d Hear About Them Every Day

But they don’t.
They’re not playing that game.

Which means we need to be their megaphone.

If you're a paid subscriber to this newsletter…thank you. You're already part of the resistance. I don’t even have to ask. If you’re a free subscriber…I strongly suspect the same is true of you.

Now let's plug into the network of people who still wear the uniform…even if it’s just stitched into their soul.

Because this isn’t just about using every legal means available to stop Trump’s trampling of the U.S. Constitution.
It’s about rebuilding a country he tried to burn down.
And no one’s better equipped to help us do it than @steadystatevets.bsky.social

Final Thought

Most people scroll.
Most people rage.
Most people don’t do a damn thing.

You’re not most people.

You’re here because you want to do more than scream into the void.

So let’s back the people who actually know how to fight back.
Let’s boost the ones with credibility…clearance…and cojones.

Follow them. Share them. Fund them. Defend them.

And the next time someone says, “There’s no one left in government who gives a damn,” you can say:

“Bullsh*t. I follow The Steady State”

Be watching for another hard hitting issue of JHN in a couple of hours.

I just wanted to get this one out and help these wonderful men and women expand their reach, as well as the support they have from other defenders of democracy, like you.

Back soon!
