So, as THE Head of the Republican Party our PRESIDENT EMBRACEs THE Communist Dictator and The Communist Party Line? Isn't anti-communism the bedrock of The Republican Party? During the election cycle last summer, weren't Republicans accusing the OTHER Presidential Candidate of being a Commie?

Received a letter from POTUS today purporting to remove me as Commissioner and Chair of the FEC. There's a legal way to replace FEC commissioners-this isn't it. I've been so fortunate to serve the American people and stir up some good trouble along the way. That's not changing anytime soon.

Even though Trump said during his 2024 campaign that he was not affiliated with #Project2025, evidence of the project’s agenda can be seen throughout the beginning of his second term. A politics professor explains: https://buff.ly/4jO1udE (Zachary Albert @brandeisuniversity.bsky.social) #polisky
Trump’s administration seems chaotic, but he’s drawing directly from Project 2025 playbook
Many of Trump’s executive orders mirror plans laid out in Project 2025, a conservative policy plan developed in part by the Heritage Foundation.

Jan 20, 1961. A blizzard the day before. Temperatures well below freezing. Without a coat or hat, JFK gave a speech we still quote today. Robert Frost, 86, recited a poem. Steinbeck and Hemingway and Rothko were among the VIPs. A million people gathered in the cold to hear it.
