The first few weeks of Trump 2.0 has felt like all DOGE all the time: Elon Musk deployed his minions to as many agencies as possible, accessing data servers and trying to fire workers, while groups file lawsuits to try to stop them. There hadn’t been many meaningful changes on abortion and bodily autonomy thus far, until last week when the Trump administration took action in three different court cases. Unsurprisingly, none of it is good. All three moves are ripped from the Project 2025 playbook written for the first 100 days of a Republican president’s term, which Trump tried to disavow on the campaign trail.
DOGE is a both a threat and distraction.
Seriously I’m so fucking tired of people calling things that aren’t their number one priority a distraction. We can be worried about several things at once. Millions of people have been impacted already by the efforts of musk and his fuckboi crew
I’m not dismissing the urgency. Republicans want their shit to go under the radar.
No I know you weren’t, I was agreeing with you!
Oh, my bad.
Exactly. That’s how we got Patriot Acts I and II.
