Like many of us, I first found out about Steve Bannon being a regular on the Principals Committee of the National Security Council here on DK from Keith Pickering’s diary.
You can read about it in The Gaurdian here.
This is an urgently important story needing immediate sunlight.
Again. Bannon will be a regular on the most powerful committe determining U.S. national security and foreign policy, but the Director of National Intelligence and the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff will no longer be in regular attendance.
This is clearly ominous.
The risk of this story being obscured by other administration decisions and the swift protest in response should be obvious.
Some are already wondering, if this was planned.
There may still be time to get this mentioned on the Sunday shows as the quickest entry into the news cycle.
A few contacts for those not using Twitter, Facebook, etc

Bannon is to be a regular on the Principals Committee of the National Security Council, but not the Director of National Intelligence or the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff? Three days after Bannon tells the media to "keep its mouth shut", he is to be elevated above the DNI and the Chairman of the JCS? What is going on?! This is an urgently important story.

I plan to contact senators and congresspersons on Monday.
Good night and good luck.
Thanks.
