The shock and awe Musk, Vought, Bannon and Trump — are bringing will backfire if we’re smart about it. Make clear that DOGE is the Dept of Govt Extermination, not Efficiency. Let people see that their taxes are no longer paying for vital public services but to fatten the richest people on earth.

The United States Military Academy has just eliminated all Cadet clubs and activities for POC. Most of these have existed for decades like the Society of Black Engineers. They were there when I was a Cadet in 1987. All of the religious ones remain. This isn’t DEI. It’s white Christian Nationalism.

Yet even more firings of nonpartisan, patriotic DOJ prosecutors and senior FBI officials simply for doing their job. If you don’t realize that Trump is trying to take full control of our government, you aren’t paying attention. Yet congressional Republicans just sit and watch.

OMB Dir-nominee Russ Vought oversaw Project 2025, which was responsible for drafting this Memo freezing all federal funding that Congress has appropriated. If Senate Republicans vote to confirm Vought, then they own this memo and whatever disastrous consequences flow from it.

"Donald Trump's administration is lying to you." Gov. J.B. Pritzker slammed the White House for saying the freeze wouldn’t affect Head Start and Medicaid. This is how we do it. Call out Trump’s lies to the camera, bold, strong action. Hold him accountable, every single time.
