Denouncing modern art (AKA "Degenerate Art") was the only part of the Nazi playbook that had been missing from Stephen Miller's commentaries.

An hourly reminder that DOGE is not about Elon Musk cutting government money waste, it is about wasting more government money on Elon Musk.

Here is Elon cutting NASA, a government agency that his private company competes with for federal funding.

They aren't even bothering to hide the corruption.

Raddatz to Mike Turner: "You talk about 'assessment' or 'review.' They basically took the sign down off USAID. They basically want to close it down. Is that really a review? A assessment?"

After declaring that all Palestinians should be removed from Gaza and that the US should take "ownership" of the strip, Trump issues an executive order ending US funding for the UN Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA).

Halting spending approved by Congress.

Firing independent inspectors general from federal agencies.

Replacing civil servants with loyalists.

All plans pulled from Project 2025.

Remember when Trump denied knowing about the playbook and the media gave him a pass?

"Mrs. Betty Bowers is currently holding up a middle finger in Elon Musk's general direction, drawing comparisons to a vulgar gesture associated with scorn. But who really knows what she means?"

And so it begins.

These people will not storm the Capital building. They will not assault police officers or hang gallows for bureaucrats. They respect the peaceful transfer of power.

Anyone who says the two parties are the same are blatantly wrong. They are not, we are not.

Let’s start a list of progressive causes that benefit from donations this holiday season β€” to help preserve & advance democracy, justice, and freedom in the truest sense. I’ll start: Center for Media and Democracy. (No long lists that overwhelm or feel like spewing. One or two per person suffices.)
