I said that Noem's firing was significant because Trump II had a firm "no scalps" policy that they had held onto for like a year. Bondi getting fired pretty well confirms it, Trump's personal capacity to stick to that policy has been shattered.

Minneapolis broke Trump as an administrator and as a man.

Just like with Trump I, the replacements will be awful. Possibly worse on a personal level than their predecessors. But a revolving door in the administration makes them less effective regardless.

Also worth pointing out that Jeffries and Schumer just successfully beat Republicans over DHS funding, with Republicans having to go through a whole second funding attempt grinder after Democrats refused to budge. Again, here we see signs of Trump buckling from positions that he was holding for more than a year, in this case his previous unwillingness to ever negotiate with Dems on funding.

(This is also a lesson in why things like mass protest movements do actually make a difference by changing political gravity. Schumer and Jeffries didn't chabge their strategy for no reason)
