100% this. Trump told the proud boys to stand by. We need to declassify everything before Kash takes over. Public servants with access to this information should serve the constitution and defend democracy by leaking everything to the press: https://democracydefender2025.substack.com/p/public-servant-democracy-defender-introduction

Patel won't get confirmed, seen interviews w senators on confirmation committee and just the fact he wants to eliminate the dept that is the #1 on terrorism threats. That will make usa vernable to attacks. What's w these nominations!

All of trumps nominations are SOLEY based on ass kissing abilities. Every last one of them have puckered their lips tightly to trumps asshole. NONE of them have a single qualifying ability for the job.

The nominations are not chosen for competency or knowledge of the jobs but for loyalty to Trump & their willingness to tear the agencies apart & burn them to the ground leaving a smouldering ash heap in their wake. Trump wants the FBI, Homeland, DOJ & military to be under his control, no longer independent agencies. He wants the military under his direct control to act against US citizens which is not the mission of any branch of the US military as this is not a military police state as N. Korea is. I believe Hegseth would ignore the Pentagon & State Department & allow it to happen. Gabbard, RFK Jr, Dr Oz & the rest including 10 Trump family related people are nominated to jobs they have no business in. The nominations are all about loyalty, wealth & willingness to be a member of Trumps mafia organization to help with his retribution tour, power grab & to fleece merika, tear it all apart & to stuff his & his cabinet members pockets as full as he/they can. He hasn't been inaugurated yet & his people are already talking about him running again in 2028 which is violation of the Constitution. I think he will abolish part if not all of it & replace it with a new P2025 version. Democratic Congress & Senate members better grow a giant pair & We The People had better stand up, get loud & fight him / maga every step of the way. If we don't we will loose our democracy, right to vote/elections, our freedom & our country.

TFG wants only loyalists in charge of these departments. He doesnтАЩt give a crap about policy. He ran to stay out of jail and grift off the presidency.

He also wants to control WHO gets investigated. As long as itтАЩs not HIM.

All of Trump's people will be confirmed when Congress is on its Christmas break.

Not rfk I'm sure of that one if McConnell has anything to do w it. The rest of these nominations r hanging on a thread too much garbage in their past. I have faith in the nomination process and it sounds like these nominations r too scary for these guys to be confirmed.

I sincerely doubt that Trump will wait for Congress to be in session after their Christmas break because he has mentioned recess appointments. And there will be a whole lot of them. McConnell has no power over that unless he wants to keep the Senate in session nonstop over Christmas and New Year's, which is not gonna happen.

I suspect that Trump will erase the tax-free donation policy at key organizations he doesn't like, starting with those related to abortion.
