There is only one reason Trump pulled the security off Pompeo and Bolton…to put them in danger for “crossing him.” To send a message to anyone else who would oppose.
Both have active death threats from Iran.
All to intimidate.

LOOK CLOSER: My oldest son operates a 300k crane. It's a big crane. Today, he was sent home early because the undocumented workers who do the hard, labor-intensive work staging the loads to be picked up didn't come to work. His current job site, which is usually bustling, is a ghost town.

One way to reduce drug spend is to have the FDA do an analysis of how long medicine retains it's potency. It can do it one drug at a time.

The Myth of Drug Expiration Dates
Hospitals and pharmacies are required to toss expired drugs, no matter how expensive or vital. Meanwhile the FDA has long known that many remain safe and potent for years longer.

So the Dems are aligned in using the Hegspeth allegations to oppose him. Dumb.
The man is not qualified for the job. That is all that matters. He has never managed more than 100 people. He won't be the actual one running DOD because he has no clue how.
And this is what the Dems focus on ?

Notably Tarrio and Rhodes both had terrorism enhancements to their sentences. (Tarrio was sentenced by a Trump-appointed judge.)
Jan 6 was investigated and largely prosecuted as domestic terrorism. The pardons should be reported and spoken of accordingly. An endorsement of terrorism. Trump sprung his terrorist network - including, by extension, himself.
