"Flooding the zone" with this stuff might be in order.
Post from Mark R Elias 

"I think I'm getting the hang of this."

Mark's question to America.gov

Does the president have the authority over the conduct of federal elections,?

Answer:
The Constitution does not give the president the power to run or set the rules for federal elections. States have the main job if administering them. Congress can change most of those rules by statue. The president's role is to enforce existing federal law, not to replace state or congressional election rules.

Not to be petty, but if Hegseth was planning to deliver a "send me to fight" speech, those aren't the shoes he should have picked. Those shoes can't cross a puddle, much less the Rhine. He rants about machismo but dresses like someone who, well, installed a makeup studio at the Pentagon.

Pete is lost in terms of modern war. I use the example of this outgunned Ukrainian army officer who successfully terrorized a Russian unit for weeks because she "did the math." At the time, someone commented, "yeah, in combat, 'I did the math' beats 'I can do 100 pushups' every time."
Ukrainian female soldier: Okay, I said the idea is this: There is enough time to empty one full can of 32 grenades and be gone by the time the return mortar fire reaches us. I did the math.

If Trump started injecting every immigrant with bubonic plague, the Supreme Court would rule that while they take a year or two to decide if it's constitutional, the program should go forward because to not let Trump inject people with bubonic plague would do irreparable harm to the government

Babies who don’t get the vitamin K shot are 81 times more likely to develop severe bleeding. In many cases, oxygen can’t reach their brains and blood pools around their skulls. Yet driven by misinformation, more parents are refusing the injection. (Published May)

Long-standing, effective rules aren't being overturned to "simplify" anything. They're being overturned because Trump's nihilists want chaos in our backcountry as the reduced Forest Service will be wholly unable to manage the insanity of this rule change with ATVs crashing down narrow hiking trails.
