fwiw, the cabinet sec who is uniquely awful and whose departure would materially change policy for the better is rfk. 1

Outsider take: DT to remove all who prominently represent Trump 2.0, so far, before the mid-term campaigns hot up (Hegseth: when foreign policy has reached โ€˜optimal shitshowโ€™ status).

Replacing the โ€˜first teamโ€™ a tactic to undermine any critical narrative dependent on citing iconic players.

I think Trump sees cratering polls, blames the people around him, and starts firing them. doubt it's much more complicated than that.

neither trump nor the gop actually cares about maha, and a lot of senators are quite uncomfortable with it. rfk is pushing a lot of that stuff through because he wants to; if he wasn't there, trump woudln't bother.

@nberlat.bsky.social I think this is true. Trump neither understands nor cares about #health or #science, so throwing Kennedy overboard is plausible. #RFKJr cares, but nearly everything he thinks he knows is wrong. Anyone wanting to join the opposition to RFK Jr.'s lethal malfeasance should [โ€ฆ]

Project 2025 was suffused with the conservative animus to roll back modern medical and health regulation. It was in Project 2025 to get rid of vaccine standards for public schools. So I was terrified that much of this would happen even before I had any idea that RFK Jr would be the head goon.

hegseth is arguably equally awful, but trump is much more invested in what he's doing and there's much less gop opposition, I think. like, hegseth is incompetent, but the general macho bomb the world thing probably wouldn't change with a successor.

You have a good point; but there wouldn't be that much change because the GOP would still be defunding everything related to science and public healthcare, still platforming whatever deranged BS quackery gets their attention, and still inciting hate against anyone smarter than themselves.

I don't have that long to live. But we have to work hard and fast to undo Trump's damage in the After-Trump years before we die of old age...

I don't think they would with MAHA. Trump doesn't have a ton of real investment; the GOP doesn't have a ton of real investment. It's RFK personally who is pushing a lot of this shit. dump him, and I think you get much less commitment to anti vax bs.

eh while Stephen is horrible, I donโ€™t think a post-Miller MAGA will be much kinder in terms of immigration police & enforcement

his replacements would still be horrendous

I vote Hegseth.
But in reality there is no one in this cabinet with any redeeming qualities.
