Yikes — This new Orwellian Pentagon propaganda video touting “transparency” as they fill the *press corps* with loyalists like Loomer & Gaetz plays like a horror film.

This is a big deal not just because of the ongoing efforts to kneecap immigration judges, but also the more general fight in many contexts over which challenges by federal employees to what the administration is doing can go to district courts vs. which must go to the Merit Systems Protection Board.

I doubt that Trump would ever pardon Brian Cole, but make no mistake
There is little difference between one person who plants bombs in support of a coup
And another who heads a militia engaged in a seditious plot-complete with deadly weapons-who is trying to enact that same coup
