If a military or intel member used an unclassified device to share sensitive info, they'd face a review—or prosecution. Will the Trump Admin be held to the same standards as those who serve our country daily?

Flat-out 100% correct.
As always, not a lawyer, but one thing that leaps out at me about how things are going down in the courts right now is that the US court system is not designed to be responsive to a crisis like this one. A crisis like this one is not what it's FOR.

MAGA influencer Jack Posobiec, whom Pete Hegseth brought on his trip to Europe, told CPAC that Trump isn’t violating the Constitution because “Trump is the living embodiment of the American Constitution.”

If you wanted more waste, fraud, and abuse, you would fire them.

Hey, Senate. There is such a thing as Article 1. You might want to read it and reclaim your independence from Article 2's worst incarnation by checking his monarchical tendencies.
Four of Donald Trump’s nominees are especially dangerous to the security of the United States and to the well-being of its people, @radiofreetom.bsky.social argues in The Atlantic Daily. “The Senate must turn back these nominations, and do so en bloc.”
The Senate Exists for a Reason
These four Trump picks should be stopped.

She's most definitely not qualified.
Opinion | Gabbard’s lack of judgment and flights from reality are disqualifying
You can’t believe foreign propaganda more than your intelligence agencies — and hope to run them.
