In her Letter from an American for yesterday, 1 December 2025, Heather Cox Richardson writes about Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth's alleged order on 2 September about the survivors of the first bombing of a boat off the Venezuelan coast: "Kill them all." As White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said that the orders came not from Hegseth but from Special Operations commander Admiral Frank “Mitch” Bradley, Richardson added that Leavitt seems "to be setting him up for underbussing." I'm of course familiar with the expression "to throw someone under the bus", but this was the first time I have heard the wonderfully creative derivation of "underbussing" from that popular phrase.
