We knew coming into this administration not to expect traditional sensibilities of qualifications from Cabinet members. Still, we hoped to see some regard for making America safer and more secure- what with all the talk of how Trump's administration would do just that. And then we got Pete Hegseth as Secretary of Defense and all those hopes went down the drain. Last week, we saw in the clearest terms that this administration will not make us safer. They will share battle plans on a public app and accidentally include people without security clearance. Now, we learn that Secretary Hegseth brings non-cleared people, like his wife and brother, to sensitive meetings.
Then, we turn to another story that surely will NOT make us safer: deporting people based on their tattoos. Now if those tattoos were things that said "I hate America" or "I am in an anti-democracy gang" we might understand bringing them in for an investigation at least. But we're talking about hummingbirds and memorial tattoos and no due process for people accused of being in a Venezuelan gang.
