It was ALWAYS the intent of a second Administration. The ultra Conservative "missed" on the first go round.. There was NO WAY they would miss again. They were well-armed for this and if it doesn't all "blow up" they will cement their philosophy for decades!
I hope this happens and yet I always always come back to how so much of this kind of stuff will lead to a waste of time and money because he did it wrong in the first place!
Congress? Investigate? He does not care. Unitary Executive proponents and SCOTUS have given him presumptive immunity. The DOJ will be led by an AG who corruptly gave 45* Uni a pass. The FBI will be headed by a conspiracy theorist who will 100% investigate political opponents w/o predicate.
Republicans are sane washing not only Trump, but American history- pretty soon they’ll deny Lincoln was a Republican because they’ll say he started the Civil War- it is so pathetic
To this app’s authors and influencers I’d love if you could use your journalism skills to also say “why”. Trump did X…. Why? What is the real or assumed rationale for his actions? We may not know but say that. Without it, you are simply whipping up panic that hurts more than it helps.
Headlines like this are horrible. It doesn’t appear to violate federal law!
It DOES violate federal law. Is it really so difficult for a reporter to verify this as a fact before reporting?
Thank goodness. As I read about this I keep thinking, why shouldn't they just keep showing up to work? Make him for them legally, don't obey in advance. I'm sure it's not that easy, but people at all levels have to make it as hard & painful as possible for them to enact their agenda.
And.... all the pathetic Dems are just standing around saying "Someone has to do something," when they are the ones in power to do something.... if WE THE PEOPLE do something.... it's gonna be revolution & no one in power wants that. So it doesn't matter that you are pointing out our destruction.
How far are nonTrumpy GOPs going to let all this go? Is there a line in the sand? Are they that spineless? They're watching the rise of America's Hitler (not my words, Vance's) with the power to stop him. Do they think it'll go well for them under his absolute rule? See Night of the Long Knives.
Trump clearly acting with an expectation of absolute immunity to unleash his dictatorship on America. He will rape & pillage all that is good leaving nothing undamaged.
We will never get an accurate statistic out of this administration on anything. That includes the GDP, unemployment rates, the price of eggs, everything will be a fire hose of lies so the general public will never know how bad it is.
With great power comes great responsibility. Be part of the solution!

It’s never too late to know the truth!
Where is the democratic leadership? Kamala you had a lot of people vote for you. Do not hide. When Rump lost in 2020 he didn’t go away. He came back stronger. Come on democrats lead the people. Blast out to the country the horrible things he is doing
With the backing of his enablers, soon the orange dump will declare many bogus wars against anyone. Then declare he is the war time president/commander in chief and will stay in power forever. Our constitutions are now meaningless. Project 2025 is rolling out like a rocket, as planned.
Trump is too stupid to even know what an "inspector general" is. (The person in charge of those "Inspected by" tags on products?)
But the people pulling the strings…the people with REAL power…know very well. How long before they're entrenched solidly enough to dump his ass and just take charge?
We must endure. Hope that those who remain in every role in government manage to do their jobs for the sake of us all. They can hide with me in my small modest house as sanctuary. I'll get a few sleep sacks. Plenty of Polish sausage here.
Have you read some of the nonsense on the white house website?
Who wrote this stuff?
Who, in any let’s say “legitimate” government, uses words like “illegal” when describing the previous administration’s accomplishments, and then just arbitrarily rescinds everything?
Just like 17-21 we wake everyday and hear what this man-child did in the middle of the night. It's never good!
How did we get to this point in America? Not sure what the next 4 years will bring, not expecting anything good from 🍊💩
And this plan has been publicly known for over 2 years. It's a bit late to point that out now, no? Silly almost. "But we can't call them fascists or nazis." At the same time, they call you/us enemies of the people and the enemy within without pause or shame.
If you ever wondered how Hitler and his Nazi party overtook Germany...wonder no more
America has been gaslighted & brainwashed for years. The GOP has destabilized the media, government institutions & even the Constitution.They've created a fertile ground for willing acceptance of authoritarian rule
He has no clue he just signs what the bums put in front of him…project 25 in full operation…yeah the thing he didn’t know about or had ever heard of! Always the liar!
Exactly. We better get some process in place or are we just going to let our country get torn apart? Weakened and ready for Putin? China? North Korea? One time little stupid man and a bunch of spineless legislators get to F-up the whole earth? Mind boggling.
As I tell students, Constitution wasn’t built for political parties. Washington warned us about parties. We’ve had 250 years to protect checks & balances from parties and haven’t. The 12th amendment addresses parties in a way.
System worked because people were mostly honest and cared. Not anymore
🎯 I’ve annoyed my mixed party family/friend group with this for years. I have typically gotten two responses. 1 - It’ll never be a problem because people (both politician & voter) will generally do the ethical/honorable/decent thing. 2 - Good! It needs to go! Guess who’s biting her tongue right now.
Well they won’t have that pesky problems anymore since this was our last election. Unfortunately this was all in project 2025 and people didn’t care enough to save our nation from this mad man and his lawless rich thugs🤨
They put it in print & online. They TOLD us. Biden, Harris & others warned us. Media ignored it.
Remember Biden gave that speech about MAGA threat to democracy outside Independence Hall but networks didn’t carry it? CBS aired a rerun of Young Sheldon instead.
I was starting to feel like I was the crazy one at a certain point - how come nobody cares? Why do people keep telling me I’m over reacting? I have a Masters degree in History. I also have a masters in teaching history. (Despite my ignoring grammar today) I know what I was seeing .
The trouble for him is that he didn't expect any resistance whatsoever, and suddenly he's got more than he knows how to handle. Twelve lawsuits incoming, and twelve IGs who still have jobs despite his "order".
This is disgusting. I like the good ol' days of where he slept, played golf or just did nothing for many hours. At this rate every court in the land is going to be overwhelmed with challenges.
I looked up purges this morning when I found out about this and before any articles came up on my search engine, three incidents in three regimes did. They are The Night of Long Knives (Nazi Germany), The Great Purge (Stalin USSR) & the The August Incident (N Korea). This is untenable.
No, thank you. Far too many members of my family died (to the extent my family tree doesn't fork).
We need to really figure out what to do and how to do it. This is unconscionable and should not hold.
Unfortunately, your family that died in the 30's watched it play out almost the same way it's playing out now. He's pardoned his 'brownshirts' and he's following the playbook.
Heritage published their playbook #Project2025 for all Americans to read. They did not hide it. There were reports about Heritage interviewing and vetting MAGA loyalists to take over Civil Service jobs months before the election. Did voters not hear about this? #apathy #hate What is the #Dem plan?
Yep. They made it easily downloadable which I did because I thought maybe they would take it down from their website. I have to give them credit for complete transparency as far as that goes 😖
Let's dissolve it then. States stop recognizing it, stop paying federal taxes, recall military, etc. Also, prevent immigration from other states, deport "other Americans". See, who starts crying for help first.
Then maybe we start fresh, make another go at it, maybe call it US of Mexico.
If only some of the 90ish million people who didn't vote had voted. We knew all this. And when I say "we" I literally mean everyone who's been paying attention... From everybody in Congress to every single voter, we saw this coming. And we were also warned by countless people. And here we are!
Why are we not linking P2025 to all the corporations supporting its creation, who bought policies in it, and now will profit from the govt dismantling it implements?
We were warned for years and project 2025 is happening before our eyes....I fear for my children, my grandchildren, my country. I am also angry at all of those who did not stop this.
This spring, the bill to repeal the 1964 Civil Rights Act will be introduced in the HoR. Maybe the minority men who voted for Trump and who could soon find themselves out of work will explain themselves to their families.
Molly, in your podcast on p25 did you go into origins of this document? We do know that several people in this admin are from the club. Signed their contributions, yea?
Can somebody send a memo to stay talking about them? A lot?
There's an important thing to note here: stop saying 'he' as if Trump is the mastermind of any of this. He's retarded. Like...clinically. Just listening to him speak makes that clear.
He's 'just' the front man for a group of far smarter people he didn't have before, with very specific agendas.
Molly, question.
Since this violates Fed Law, however given that SCOTUS okayed the idea that a Prez cannot be charged when acting in his capacity/duties (?), then can this be successfully challenged? I know you try not to prognosticate, but thoughts?
I'm old enough to remember when Steve Bannon described himself as an admirer of V. I. Lenin because of Lenin's desire to totally destroy the existing Russian government.
America is in the opening stages of such destruction.
These idiot Republicans in Congress need to stand up and say “Enough is enough”. Trump is trying to break Hitler’s record of dismantling democracy in 53 days and they are complicit. Never forget, never forgive.
They're not idiots. They're actually cunning enough to fool everyone using the same hateful propaganda MAGA has been using for years.
They know exactly what they're doing.
Really? Does following a malignant narcissist with cognitive disability show "cunning?"
I prefer to think they're lost emotional wreckage now after 20 years in captivity by Stockholm syndrome to the right wing media. Those who left Trump in the first go-around don't even call themselves Republican.
I really do believe that the opioid crisis had a significant impact on the voting base. If not mental cognition ability but certainly by creating a malaise and non-participation in the system.
I don't think you caught what I was saying.
I did NOT say they're correct, I did NOT say they're admirable, I did NOT say I agree with them.
I'm saying they're sneaky/cunning enough to know exactly what to say to convince their base of MAGA. What rhetoric they need to get one over their base.
“45” isn’t whom Repubs are following. He’s the mouthpiece, yes. But he’s not in charge. Pres. Elmo / Oligarchs are in charge. It’s their agenda that’s being accomplished.
Look at videos of him signing EO’s. They give him one, he asks what he’s signing, they tell him, then pat him on the forehead.
Oh my sweet summer child. All but three R Senators just confirmed a breathtakingly unqualified drunken rapist to head the Department of Defense. The Rs will do nothing.
So, what's next? Wait for democratic senate and house leadership to actually do something about it?
Issue harsh words at some point in the next week, while half of America won't even know about it?
And not knowing the requirements of advising congress in advance.
The only reason you would deliberately want to get rid of the office that investigates fraud, waste, and abuse is if you were planning on committing fraud, waste, and abuse. The burglars are in the house.
The felon is removing guard rails.. not just a convicted felon, but a powerful and soulless cult of criminality. What a 4 yr 💩show by this weak and insecure (listening to his crew of nazis, racists, misogynists, white supremacists, self-serving billionaires, and frauds) criminal in chief.. pathetic🙄
Just because he says it doesn't mean it's happening. We can't comply pre-emptively. The IGs are fighting back and the law is on their side. We'll see if it holds.
Weaken our government and military, keep our troops in never ending conflicts at both borders and Greenland, sink most of our money in a pyramid scheme, end aid to Ukraine and Taiwan, severe ally ties with Europe and start a war with NATO countries. China and Russia are dancing with joy.
I am convinced that the architects of project’25 are just handing him things to do and, promised that he can grift to his heart’s content, he is signing blindly, blowing everything up. We are in treacherous waters.

“Presidential Administration Academy” video trainings, two Project 2025 leaders say that, upon election, the next U.S. president should replace the independent Inspectors General (IGs) https://youtu.be/xxe55mU4DA8?si=n9DJwi8bt5eYviuR
Democrats need to pay attention because this is what a “unified” government can do. When you control all the branches you make the changes you want / need. Sadly, we may never have the opportunity again
They're coming for our freedoms.
All of them.
Along the way, they're going to steal everything they can get their grubby little hands on.
They're coming for OUR benefits. OUR money.
The dismantling of democracy. I warned folks, as did you and many others, but all they cared about was the cost of groceries and immigration. Congress will roll over repeatedly no matter what he does. No spine. All about money and power.
Back when Citizen Action was opposing the first Heritage Foundation abortion protests, dem leadership mocked progressives for using the words theocratic fascism. Said it was too extremist & radical language but thanks for the heads up after the finish line. How old were you in 1992?

Shocking to no one paying attention during the campaign that this admin was being supported by project 2025 all along. This president has zero interest in anything beyond revenge and lining his pockets so he truly does not care. Bad combination
He'll probably replace them with Stewart Rhodes and Enrique Tarrio and the 3 or 4 other people he pardoned that were convicted of seditious conspiracy.🙄
Our treasury will be pillaged and our lives destroyed. We mean nothing to him.
Remember after one of the many school shootings last year he said “just get over it”
He doesn’t care about anything but enriching himself and having unchecked power.

They say machine learning has improved over the last four years.

The pillars of democracy are no longer reliable.

According to this principle, authority—in the GOP, military, economy, etc. flow downward & is to be obeyed unquestionably.
This is a key part of Shitler’s consolidation of power.
But the people pulling the strings…the people with REAL power…know very well. How long before they're entrenched solidly enough to dump his ass and just take charge?
But yeah.
They told us what they were gonna do.
Also any equal employment opportunity. This is now make Government White Again. Literally.

(Serious question)

LYING and CHEATING is their new normal.
Well we all know the TRUTH! 🤷♀️🤔
The entirety of P25 is built upon what we generally call 'false equivalences'; they just redfine any term they need.
Dismantled, crushed, destroyed, undermined, corrupted and divisive, probably irreversibly for a great number of people.
It's difficult to see how bi-partisanship can flourish any time soon
Old ways of thinking must change.
Unless you’re talking about the ineptitude of the democratics in congress.
GOP controls both houses. They don’t have the morals or ability to be a coequal branch and exercise the power they have. They just won’t do it.
System worked because people were mostly honest and cared. Not anymore
They’re always wrong. And they knew admit it.
Remember Biden gave that speech about MAGA threat to democracy outside Independence Hall but networks didn’t carry it? CBS aired a rerun of Young Sheldon instead.
We were warned but nobody listened
We have to depend on the courts
Right now is the time to recruit candidates and remind people that everything wrong in their lives is republicans fault
I've begun to think it goes further than that.
I think the long-term goal is breaking up the states. To make the US like Europe.
Fucking MSM.
We need to really figure out what to do and how to do it. This is unconscionable and should not hold.
Humans are too dumb to have nice things
#civilwar2.0 ?
Dude who worships Dugin in his quest for a white, Christian empire.
In Dugin's case with it centred in Moscow.
America was thought unachievable but breaking it allows it to join the new Pan Eurasian Neo-Fascist alliance.
In fact, it removes the main obstacle to achieving it.
Then maybe we start fresh, make another go at it, maybe call it US of Mexico.

The US government is an enormous distributor of cash to defense industries, R&D projects and pharmaceuticals.
Some of the agencies he is dismantling are distributors of that cash
There will be economic fallout from this decision, and we have to stay on top of it
