Sky DancingMostly Monday Reads: Oops!  He did it again!  “King of kings..” John Buss, @repeat1968 Good Day, Sky Dancers!The Trump Kakistocracy continues to upset the operations of every agency in the country. Unfortunately, some of the most necessary and strategic posts have been filled with village idiots.  After the revelation of the first SignalGate, you would think there would be more quick changes to protect the conversations at the top of the Pentagon and the Department of Defense.  Party Boy, sexual predator, and all-around dumb guy, Pete Hegseth, has done it again.  No need for spies when the head of the nation’s military broadcasts stuff on commercial software that everyone’s hacked.  There is total chaos at the Pentagon. This headline from <a href="https://www.politico.com/news/2025/04/21/leavitt-trump-stands-strongly-behind-embattled-hegseth-00300749" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Politico </a>says it all. “White House backs Hegseth, Leavitt says ‘entire Pentagon’ is resisting him. Hegseth “is doing phenomenal leading the Pentagon,” Leavitt said during a Monday “Fox & Friends” appearance.”<blockquote>“President Donald Trump “stands strongly behind Pete Hegseth,” press secretary Karoline Leavitt said Monday morning, defending the scandal-plagued Defense secretary against escalating criticism from Democrats and former senior officials.Hegseth “is doing phenomenal leading the Pentagon,” Leavitt said in a “Fox & Friends” appearance. “This is what happens when the entire Pentagon is working against you and working against the monumental change you are trying to implement.”Her comments came a day after The New York Times reported that Hegseth <a class="" href="https://www.politico.com/news/2025/04/20/ullyot-pentagon-hegseth-chaos-00300695" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">shared sensitive information about military operations</a> in Yemen in a private chat on the Signal app that included his wife, brother and personal lawyer — the second reported instance of the secretary sharing operational plans in an unclassified chat. The revelations have reignited the so-called Signalgate scandal and deepened scrutiny over Hegseth’s judgment and leadership.Former top Pentagon spokesperson John Ullyot, who stepped down last week, also bashed the Pentagon leader for allegedly plunging the department into dysfunction in <a class="" href="https://www.politico.com/news/magazine/2025/04/20/pentagon-chaos-ullyot-hegseth-00205594" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">a POLITICO Magazine opinion piece</a> published Sunday night.Ullyot — once a vocal supporter of the Defense secretary — accused Hegseth’s team of spreading unverified claims about three top officials who were fired last week, falsely accusing them of leaking sensitive information to media outlets.“President Donald Trump has a strong record of holding his top officials to account,’” Ullyot wrote. “Given that, it’s hard to see Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth remaining in his role for much longer.”Hegseth brushed off the allegations Monday and blamed it on backlash for his efforts to reshape the Pentagon.</blockquote>I love this headline from <a href="https://www.rollingstone.com/politics/politics-news/pete-hegseth-melts-down-pentagon-dysfunction-1235321711/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Rolling Stone.</a> “Turns Out It Wasn’t Such a Great Idea to Put Pete Hegseth in Charge of the Military. The former Fox News host’s tenure at the top of the Pentagon has been riddled with scandal and broader institutional turmoil.”  The article was filed by Ryan Bort and Asawin Suebsaeng<blockquote><a href="https://www.rollingstone.com/t/pete-hegseth/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Pete Hegseth</a> barely received enough votes to <a href="https://www.rollingstone.com/politics/politics-news/pete-hegseth-confirmed-secretary-defense-1235246385/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">win confirmation</a> as Donald Trump’s defense secretary. Three Republicans even bucked their own party’s president to oppose him. One of them, Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska), cited “accusations of financial mismanagement and problems with the workplace culture he fostered.” Another, Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.), said Hegseth had “failed to demonstrate” that he could manage “nearly 3 million military and civilian personnel, an annual budget of nearly $1 trillion.”It hasn’t taken long for Hegseth to prove them — along with every Senate Democrat and the countless others who warned about him taking over the <a href="https://www.rollingstone.com/t/pentagon/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Pentagon</a> — right.The New York Times <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2025/04/20/us/politics/hegseth-yemen-attack-second-signal-chat.html" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">reported</a> on Sunday that Hegseth shared attack plans in a second unsecured Signal group chat, following <a href="https://www.rollingstone.com/politics/politics-news/trump-cabinet-sent-war-plans-atlantic-journalist-1235302437/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">the revelation last month</a> that he shared the plans to attack Houthi militants in Yemen in a Signal chat group that included a journalist. The second chat included Hegseth’s wife, brother, and personal lawyer, underscoring the former Fox News host’s recklessness with highly sensitive information.The news came after a tumultuous week in the Pentagon that saw Hegseth fire three senior officials — ostensibly because of an internal investigation into leaking, although the officials seemed confused about what happened. “We still have not been told what exactly we were investigated for, if there is still an active investigation, or if there was even a real investigation of ‘leaks’ to begin with,” they wrote in <a href="https://x.com/dandcaldwell/status/1913701312929149363" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">a joint statement</a> Friday night, adding that, although the experience was “unconscionable,” they will continue to support Trump’s plans for the Pentagon.John Ullyot, who resigned as a spokesperson for the Pentagon last week, put a button on the turmoil in <a href="https://www.politico.com/news/magazine/2025/04/20/pentagon-chaos-ullyot-hegseth-00205594" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">an op-ed</a> for Politico on Sunday. “It’s been a month of total chaos at the Pentagon,” the piece began. “From leaks of sensitive operational plans to mass firings, the dysfunction is now a major distraction for the president — who deserves better from his senior leadership.”Ullyot went on to bash the week’s firings, calling the purge “strange and baffling”; detail Hegeth’s “horrible crisis-communications” following the initial Signal scandal; and predict that “many in the secretary’s own inner circle will applaud quietly” if Trump decides to hold him accountable. Ullyot also predicted that the drama isn’t going to let up anytime soon: “There are very likely more shoes to drop in short order, with even bigger bombshell stories coming this week, key Pentagon reporters have been telling sources privately.”</blockquote>We’ve already received notice in Louisiana about the number of student VISAS yanked by the <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://skydancingblog.com/tag/fartus/" target="_blank">#FARTUS</a> party.  If it happens here, it’s undoubtedly happening all over the country. Jennifer Rubin has this advice on her Substack, The Contrarian. “Stop Waiting for a Formal Declaration of ‘Crisis’. It is here. We are living through it. No shit cupcake.<blockquote>Are we in a “constitutional crisis”?You have likely heard that question innumerable times over the past three months, followed by a discussion as to whether our president has actually, explicitly, openly violated a court order (make that a Supreme Court order). When a question is so pervasive, it is safe to assume that yes, we are already there.When does the combo of authoritarian bullying, revenge seeking, stooge-nominating, retaliatory prosecuting, contemptuous litigating, and lawless usurpation of congressional power become a “crisis”? The word is <a href="https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/crisis#:~:text=%3A%20an%20unstable%20or%20crucial%20time,a%20financial%20crisis" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">defined by Merriam-Webster</a> as “an unstable or crucial time or state of affairs in which a decisive change is impending…especiallyone with the distinct possibility of a highly undesirable outcome.” Frankly, we have been in that “crisis” since the first day of the Trump presidency.When a Republican Congress allows the president to seize the power of the purse and does nothing, when the secretary of defense commits the worst breach of national security protocols in memory (<a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2025/04/20/us/politics/hegseth-yemen-attack-second-signal-chat.html" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">and evidently doesn’t learn his lesson</a>), or when Republicans refuse to reclaim the power to lay tariffs—despite a recession-inducing presidential trade war—the question is not if we are in a constitutional crisis, but just how bad it is.For <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/kilmar-abrego-garcia-deported-el-salvador-trump-immigration-what-know-rcna201708" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Kilmar Abrego Garcia</a>, <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/tufts-student-rumeysa-ozturk-rcna201954" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Rumeysa Ozturk</a>, <a href="https://apnews.com/article/columbia-university-mahmoud-khalil-ice-6964107d218dba43eb995d6dbbe528b1" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Mahmoud Khalil</a>, <a href="https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cy9vn84w27vo" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Mohsen Mahdawi</a>, and scores of others who are legally present in the United States have been snatched up, incarcerated (or are facing incarceration) in a foreign gulag, and are deprived of their right to contest their confinement and visa revocation, the “constitutional crisis” is well underway.When the Supreme Court convenes “<a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/news/supreme-court-temporarily-blocks-new-deportations-under-alien-enemies-act/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">literally in the middle of the night</a>” to stop the government from spiriting away Venezuelans in apparent contradiction of their instruction to give every individual a meaningful opportunity to oppose their deportation, the “constitutional crisis” has arrived.Sen. Chris Van Hollen (D-Md.) knows a constitutional crisis. When asked explicitly whether we were in one on <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/trump-administration/chris-van-hollen-america-constitutional-crisis-trump-abrego-garcia-rcna202018" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Meet the Press</a>, he affirmed, “Yes, we are.” He had to fly down to El Salvador to see for himself Abrego Garcia’s condition, and upon his return, called out the president and his flacks for <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cNuFG1lD1Ow" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">abject lies</a>, even revealing the clumsy <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2025/04/18/trump-presidency-news-tariffs-deportations/#link-5KNPXYCMXVCZXDEVE2PEFNHFHQ" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">attempt to stage</a> a scene suggesting he and Kilmar were tossing down margaritas on a tropical holiday.When such steps are required to confirm whether or not a lawful American resident is alive, we know this is not only the least trustworthy White House in modern history, but one seemingly eager to foment a constitutional crisis. “They wanted to create this appearance that life was just lovely for Kilmar, which of course is a big, fat lie,” <a href="https://www.al.com/politics/2025/04/senator-says-claim-he-and-kilmar-abrego-garcia-were-sipping-margaritas-by-a-pool-is-a-big-fat-lie.html" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Van Hollen said</a>. Calling out the White House’s baseless allegations that Abrego Garcia is a gang member and terrorist, Van Hollen <a href="http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/maryland-senator-greets-abrego-garcias-family-return-us/story?id=120954585" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">declared</a>, “…In other words, put up in court or shut up.”</blockquote>If you are interested in tracking foreign students who have lost their VISAS, you may look at this from <a href="https://www.insidehighered.com/news/global/international-students-us/2025/04/21/five-key-takeaways-tracking-student-visa" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Inside Higher Education</a>. “What We’ve Learned So Far From Tracking Student Visa Data. More than 1,500 students from nearly 250 colleges have had their visas revoked, but who they are—and why they’ve been targeted—is still largely unknown.” Two international students from UNO, where I teach, have had theirs removed.<blockquote>On April 7, amid reports that the federal government was detaining international students and revoking their visas, Inside Higher Ed began <a href="https://www.insidehighered.com/news/global/international-students-us/2025/04/07/where-students-have-had-their-visas-revoked" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">collecting and cross-checking data</a> in an effort to track exactly how many students were affected—and at which institutions. Our goal was to understand the scope of the federal government’s involvement in the visa process and what it means for international students and the colleges and universities they attend.Over the past two weeks, more than 1,500 students—representing several hundred colleges and universities, as well as state systems—have had a sudden or unexpected change in their Student and Exchange Visitor Information System (SEVIS) listing, or their F-1 or J-1 visa status.</blockquote>Luke Garrett, <a href="https://www.npr.org/2025/04/21/g-s1-61500/house-democrats-land-in-el-salvador-demand-abrego-garcias-return" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">writing for NPR</a>, has this headline today. “House Democrats land in El Salvador, demand Abrego Garcia’s return.”  They need to start showing up in ICE detention centers, like the one down here, before more folks get shipped off despite all the court decisions.<blockquote>Four House Democrats were scheduled to land in El Salvador Monday to demand the release and return of Kilmar Abrego Garcia, a Salvadoran citizen who lived in Maryland and was deported by the administration to a prison in El Salvador due to what the Trump administration an “administrative error.”The group — Rep. Robert Garcia, D-Calif., Rep. Maxwell Frost, D-Fla., Rep. Yassamin Ansari, D-Ariz., and Rep. Maxine Dexter, D-Ore. — said in a statement they hope “to pressure” the White House “to abide by a Supreme Court order.”“While Donald Trump continues to defy the Supreme Court, Kilmar Abrego Garcia is being held illegally in El Salvador after being wrongfully deported,” Rep. Garcia said. “That is why we’re here — to remind the American people that kidnapping immigrants and deporting them without due process is not how we do things in America.”The Trump administration has refused to bring back Abrego Garcia despite a Supreme Court order to “facilitate” his return — and is <a href="https://www.npr.org/2025/04/20/g-s1-61475/trump-faces-bipartisan-criticism-over-abrego-garcia-deportation" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">receiving bipartisan criticism for it</a>. The Salvadoran citizen entered the country illegally; an immigration judge said he should not be deported to El Salvador because Abrego Garcia was able to prove he was likely to suffer persecution in his home country. The Trump administration says it deported him because he was a member of MS-13; his lawyers deny that Abrego Garcia belongs to the gang.The White House has said it can’t force the Salvadoran government to release one of its citizens, while El Salvador’s President Nayib Bukele called the idea of Abrego Garcia’s release “preposterous.”On Thursday, a federal court denied the Trump administration’s appeal of the court’s return-order.Last week, Reps. Garcia and Frost requested congressional travel funds and security for the trip to El Salvador. Rep. James Comer, the Kentucky Republican who chairs the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, rejected the request. Rep. Mark Green, the Tennessee Republican who chairs the House Homeland Security Committee, said Thursday he’d also deny any such request.The group’s visit to El Salvador is not a taxpayer funded CODEL trip.</blockquote> <a href="https://www.theatlantic.com/entertainment/archive/2017/01/dr-seuss-protest-icon/515031/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">“The Complicated Relevance of Dr. Seuss’s Political Cartoons The children’s author’s early works have been finding a new audience among those opposed to the “America First” policies of President Donald Trump.”</a> At least members of the Democratic Party are beginning to do something.  Will it be enough?  Some of the worst news came when an Executive Order leaked that basically removed all the <a href="https://dgardner.substack.com/p/the-ugly-american" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Eisenhower reforms of the Diplomatic Corps and turned</a><a href="https://dgardner.substack.com/p/the-ugly-american" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"> them all back into Ugly Americans</a>.  The Substack PastPresentFuture, written by Dan Gardner, will give you some background on the changes made during Eisenhower’s presidency.<blockquote>If one is of a certain vintage, the phrase “ugly American” has a vivid meaning.Picture the worst stereotype of an American abroad. Loud, abrasive, arrogant. Incurious about local culture and politics because Americans have nothing to learn from foreigners. Incapable of delivering even a few words in another language and certain they can always make themselves understood by speaking English at a higher volume. Smugly confident that the United States is the most advanced of civilizations, in every way that matters, and all the rest of the world silently dreams of being American, or least meeting one of God’s chosen.That’s an “ugly American.”Curiously, though, that’s not what the phrase meant when it was coined. In fact, what it originally described was the opposite of all that.The history of “ugly American” is worth reviewing because in that one phrase we can see how American foreign aid — and foreign policy more generally — is changing in the second Trump administration. There is even a direct connection between “ugly American” and today’s headlines, notably the <a href="https://apnews.com/article/trump-musk-usaid-c0c7799be0b2fa7cad4c806565985fe2" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">hostile takeover of USAID</a> by Elon Musk and his band of young zealots.This isn’t a happy story, I’m afraid. But it is an important one.</blockquote>You may read about the story at the link.  Here’s the information on the linked EO from <a href="https://www.thedailybeast.com/diplomats-are-freaking-out-about-donald-trumps-leaked-executive-order/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">The Daily Beast.</a> “Diplomats Are Freaking Out About Trump’s Leaked Executive Order. One official said monkeys with a typewriter could have come up with a more logical plan for the State Department.”<blockquote>American diplomats spent the weekend panicking about a possible plan to radically reshape the State Department in President <a href="https://dailybeast.com/keyword/donald-j-trump" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Donald Trump</a>’s image.A 16-page document that appears to be a draft for an executive order has been circulating among diplomatic staff since last week. It calls for the elimination of dozens of positions and departments, slashing diplomatic operations in Canada, and closing “non-essential” embassies and consulates in sub-Saharan Africa.It would also overhaul the traditionally non-partisan foreign service exam to test applicants on whether they share Trump’s MAGA foreign policy views, according to <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-04-20/trump-draft-looks-for-radical-reshaping-of-state-department" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Bloomberg</a>.Secretary of State <a href="https://dailybeast.com/keyword/marco-rubio" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Marco Rubio</a> called a New York Times report on the draft document “<a href="https://x.com/marcorubio/status/1913928218450579630" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">fake news</a>‚” though he didn’t offer any details about which part was wrong.Diplomats, however, worried the document was real, especially in light of the administration asking Congress to cut the State Department’s budget almost in half this year, to $28.4 billion, <a href="https://www.politico.com/news/2025/04/20/bonkers-crazypants-american-diplomats-state-department-00300029" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Politico</a> reported.“There’s a lot that could be reformed, but you could give infinite monkeys infinite typewriters, and they would come up with something better than that,” one diplomat told Politico.Many of the document’s items violate the laws that govern the State Department’s operations, while other parts contradict the Trump administration’s communications to Congress about its plans for the department, according to Politico.Other parts are internally inconsistent. For example, the Fulbright Program would be recast as “solely for master’s-level study in national security-related disciplines” with priority given to programs offering intense instruction in critical languages, including Russian and Mandarin Chinese.At the same time, the entire African Affairs bureau would be replaced by a single special envoy reporting directly to the National Security Council. Experts say pulling out of Africa would leave a void that Russia and China are both eager to exploit.Already, Kremlin-backed groups are handing out boxes of tuberculosis and HIV medication on the continent after the Trump administration froze U.S. aid funding, <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/2025/03/23/trump-aid-cuts-africa-russia-china/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">The Washington Post</a> reported. Chinese officials have given interviews and taken out advertisements branding the country as a reliable partner.The purported State Department draft order would also lead to a major disruption in services for Americans living and traveling in the affected countries, including those who lose their passports or need to register births abroad.</blockquote>“Something tells me that Steven Miller is one of the monkeys with a typewriter.
