Pandemonium (“House of All Demons”)

Following today’s removal of Pam Bondi as U.S. Attorney General and last month’s replacement of Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem, several people familiar with the White House’s plans tell The Atlantic there are active discussions about other senior officials soon leaving the Trump Administration, including FBI Director Kash Patel, Army Secretary Daniel Driscoll, and Labor Secretary Lori Chavez-DeRemer.

 But not Hegseth?

No. Obviously not. Whether Blanche is a white knight is another matter:
"The new acting attorney general, Trump’s former criminal defense attorney, Todd Blanche, can legally hold the post without Senate confirmation until the end of October," he wrote. "Whether the president opts to ride that one out for as long as he can or decides to kick off what could be a bruising confirmation fight with a Republican Senate majority that seems to be running out of patience with the president this election year.

"Whether it is Blanche or someone else, they will end up in the same place as Bondi as long as Trump demands results, control and absolute personal loyalty all at once."
The funny thing is, Blanche lost that criminal case.
