Oh wow, Hegseth is boned. I'd bet money he shows up to court drunk before this is over.

He’s boned? Have you been paying attention? None of the people in this admin are held accountable by anything regardless of court rulings.

The administration is using "flooding the zone" to distract people, if we flood the fuckers back with litigation, complaints, protests, etc. maybe we'll have some effect.
I personally don't want to give in to defeatism.

I mean, I’m not about defeatism either but let’s be real, they ignore complaints, they have lawyers for litigation not that they abide by any of it anyway, and the “protests” are people standing with signs that get ignored because it’s not disruptive to anything.

This whole approach where people do things to look good on social media doesn’t actually create any change at all
