Note: Whiskey Pete is going to have to answer to Congress this week, and if he lies when they ask him about what he said and did to cause the atrocities committed under his leadership, the lies are themselves their own crimes.
Even Hegseth's old Fox News colleagues are calling him out for throwing his subordinate under the bus.

Also, a lesson to every DOJ lawyer & law enforcement official. A lesson to everyone.
Hegseth is very transparently blaming a Navy admiral for his own decision. Let this be a lesson for every other military officer: The Trump administration will issue unlawful orders, then blame you for following them.

I would love to see Portland focus on improving small business experience.
Soon small businesses won’t have to wait for Small Business Saturday to get attention from their Mayor.

The Trump administration likes to deride any judge who would constrain it as a “rogue activist”. Nearly a year into the president’s second term, there are dozens of them in district and circuit courts
Donald Trump’s revenge agenda is not going well

I hope every judge is now vigilant for government representatives lying outright to courts.

Me on DOJ’s behavior: “it’s malevolence *exacerbated* by incompetence. That’s problematic enough for the government’s credibility before federal district judges. But at some point soon, one suspects that the Supreme Court itself may well have to grapple with its consequences—or risk being duped.”
194. Another Bad Week for the Presumption of Regularity
Three different flashpoints highlight how much the Trump administration has done, in such short order, to undermine its own litigation efforts and to damage—perhaps irreparably—DOJ's credibility.
