"JUST IN: A federal judge has barred DHS from transferring migrants to other agencies (like DOD) in order to sidestep due process guarantees before deportation."
-K Cheney

Another Signal group exists for senior Pentagon officials & J Hegseth, this one with DEF Sec P Hegseth, S Parnell, T Radabaugh & possibly a couple others. It's to discuss DEF Dept comms, though J Hegseth isn't on staff.

“We'd always hear that she was saying what kind of videos he should be doing, & what kind of statements he should be doing, & how the press should be handled."

Jennifer knows that Pete is incapable of leading the #DOD, so she's the co -Sec of DEF.

So is the $60 million fighter plane hegseth’s DoD dropped into the sea gonna be recovered, or is it a really pricey manmade reef now?

Don’t we need to retrieve or destroy any classified material on it? I thought hegseth’s cell phone was the place we were planning to leak classified info.

The #Trump admin sent more *alleged* gang members to #ElSalvador despite a Massachusetts court order barring #deportations to 3rd-party countries.

They say the order only applied to the #DHS & so they had #DoD carry out the deportations.

Dishonest as hell.

"We have a civilian in charge of the military (with the president as “commander-in-chief”) to ensure that the military is accountable to the people and their elected representatives, not to the whims of those in uniform. “If there is one basic element in our Constitution, it is civilian control of the military,” President Harry Truman once said. The general and admirals don’t get to decide their priorities, or their budget, or even their own terms of service.

As Secretary of Defense, Hegseth is supposed to embody civilian control of the military, a civilian who oversees the Pentagon, not a part of it. Yet his office has been all but hollowed out in recent days, with five of his top aides being mysteriously drummed out."

https://www.senate.gov/legislative/LIS/roll_call_votes/vote1191/vote_119_1_00015.htm

welp… i regret to inform you that one of the worse people on the planet and the ideological obstetrician of #MAGA, Mitch McConnell, voted AGAINST confirmation with all the Democratic Party, the 2 independent senators and “centrist” republicans, Collins and Murkowski.

unfuckinbelievable.
