So Pete Hegseth gave Kristi Noem a laser she gave to Greg Bovino‘s agency who fired at a kid‘s party balloon in civilian airspace and Sean Duffey had to be the adult in the room who closed airspace for 10 days just to get everyone’s attention & shut target practice down
According to multiple NYT sources, it wasn’t even military personnel at Fort Bliss that fired an anti-drone laser at alleged cartel drones. It was CBP who used the weapon on loan from DoD against a child’s party balloon they mistook for a drone. The Pentagon gave CBP an anti-aircraft weapon.

And even when we move at warp speed and outpace this regime, DHS doesn’t care. They’ve moved people to Texas hours or days after being enjoined.
When ordered to return them, DHS just… doesn’t. The AUSAs let them: when we notify them of a violation, they send the email equivalent of a shrug.

The thing that strikes me about Bondi yelling about the stock market is that she is articulating a clear moral stance: money is more important than human suffering. If you can make money, then you shouldn't question how said money gets made, or who gets hurt. Her allegiance is to capital.
