A political science professor during Trump's first term argued against use of the word fascism. He was skeptical that the Trump crew had that kind of power. "I have since turned out to be wrong," said Corey Robin to On the Media. Good on him for recognizing that. www.wnycstudios.org/podcasts/otm...
The political science professor Corey Robin to WNYC's On the Media

Brooke Gladstone: During the first Trump administration, you came on the show and argued against those who were invoking the word fascism. You know, douse your hair doesn't need to be on fire.

Corey Robin: I was afraid you were going to ask me about this. I was skeptical in the first Trump administration that they had the kind of power and the kind of authority that many of their critics feared that they had.

Brooke Gladstone: Which they didn't have in the first administration.

Corey Robin: Right. I was skeptical coming into this second administration that they would be able to wield the kind of power that people feared they would wield. I have since turned out to be wrong. They have set off multiple conflagrations and I have been shaken out of my skepticism.

Brooke Gladstone: You don't think the courts will save us?

Corey Robin: I never thought the courts would save us. In fact, the McCarthy era, I think, is a good example of this. When the courts finally started intervening and striking down a lot of the instruments of the second red scare, it was after the red scare had succeeded. I always feel like the courts come late. We have to save ourselves.

No, it is absolutely true. If any service member transmitted classified information over an unsecured device, they would be done. This isn't even up for debate. I'm sorry, I'm not sure what experience/info you're working with, but the military does not mess around with this infraction. At all.

If an Army private accidentally texted the details of a classified military operation to a reporter, let alone transmitted any classified information to anyone who was unauthorized over an unsecured device, they’d be charged and likely spend time in Leavenworth. But it’s Hegseth, so probably not.

Ukraine accuses Moscow of ‘hollow statements about peace’ after latest attack
Ukrainian officials say 88 injured in missile strike as US and Russian officials start talks on ceasefire deal Ukraine has accused Moscow of making “hollow statements about peace” after 88 people were injured in a Russian missile attack as US and Russian officials began talks that Washington hopes will mark the first step toward lasting peace. Seventeen children were among the casualties after the missile hit schools and residential buildings in the city of Sumy, Ukrainian officials said late on Monday, as Moscow appeared to be exploiting the window before any ceasefire to launch attacks on Ukraine.
