“This is so dumb that I have a hard time believing it is true,”... Unfortunately, Don Bacon, I don't have a hard time believing it. Consider the source. Pete "Signal Chat" Hagseth is an unserious person who should not be in his position.
Excellent article, Gabe. It’s wild to me that people in power are seemingly allowed to brazenly transgress the supreme law of the land (I’m referring to The Constitution here) like a test to see if they can get away with it and never face any consequences beyond the Supreme Court writing a strongly worded opinion that “No, you can’t do that thing you already did,” and perhaps (if there is political will) impeachment. Hardly seems like equal justice for such grievous offenses. “Let the punishment fit the crime.”
Regular citizens can’t just brazenly break traffic laws as a test to see if they can get away with it.
The traffic analogy might not be the strongest (I imagine the majority, if not all, American drivers test the speed limit rules at different times.), but I'm trying to think of something similarly common. Theft and assault seem more extreme, but I know those are things I don't partake in ever let alone on a regular basis.
Thanks for the article Gabe. I can’t imagine how much money is spent on all of the lawsuits from this administration. Not only are we, the taxpayers, picking up the government tab, but news prices could rise when media has to sue for basic rights.

Yes, agreed.
Thank You Sharon for your fine reporting of facts that matter!!!
I wonder when this administration will so egregiously overplay its hand that it will collapse under its own weight--or the weight of citizens!
It is part of a pattern in this administration to eliminate First Amendment Rights. Thank you for your journalism.
