To add more points: - Who is in charge of trade negociations? - Who is in charge of Foreign Policy? - Who is in charge of epidemic response? (See https://www.axios.com/2025/06/05/cdc-director-leadership-vac...)

There is nobody to execute hard the stupidly-worded EOs, which are not worth the paper they are printed on.

And lets not forget the time a journalist was added to a Signal chat about incoming air strikes. Was that another 5-D chess move in your opinion?

On Signal -- the debrief there was truly hilarious; apparently Hegseth has an iPhone, that iPhone was using Apple's new and moderately shitty AI, the AI read an email (I think?) with two people's contact info in it, and offered to update the contact. Literally an Apple AI bug.

That said, I'm sympathetic to just clicking "update" on an ask like that from my iPhone. I don't think too hard about those if they pop up. Well, I didn't until I read the debrief. Geez Siri.

Incompetence.
