As expected, the matter has reached another stage.
The Trump administration’s decision to declassify UFO and UAP files has sparked a familiar ritual of praise and calls for further transparency. Senator Kirsten Gillibrand’s enthusiasm is matched by GOP lawmakers, who see the move as a “massive first step” and “historic”. The Pentagon’s disclosure has also prompted a tepid response from Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, who omits the Trump administration in his statement. Meanwhile, President Trump takes credit for the transparency efforts, claiming his administration has surpassed those of his predecessors.
The scene feels familiar, with lawmakers and officials performing their expected roles in the transparency dance.
