Kyle Peterson: 国防部长Pete Hegseth面临着更多审查，原因是高级助手突然被解雇以及关于第二个Signal聊天群组的新闻报道。白宫可能正在考虑更换他，但特朗普公开表示支持Hegseth。
Kate Batchelder-Odell: Hegseth解雇了三名高级助手，并被曝使用第二个Signal聊天群组分享敏感信息。最初对Signal聊天事件的处理不当加剧了问题。Hegseth的回应和处理方式缺乏专业性和能力。
Kim Strassel: 国防部高层存在问题，需要总统采取行动。这可能与政策分歧或管理问题有关。如果要更换Hegseth，应该选择与特朗普的对外政策理念一致的人，避免团队内部意见不一。
Pete Hegseth: 被解雇的助手们可能在泄露信息，他们将会继续泄露信息来破坏总统或部长的议程。
Samuel Alito: 最高法院在午夜发布命令，阻止特朗普政府根据《敌国人法案》进行驱逐出境，我认为法院的行为是史无前例且有问题的，因为没有给下级法院足够的时间来裁决，也没有听取政府的意见。
