When @propublica.org reporters Brett Murphy & @annamaria.bsky.social found out that fired #USAID workers could go to the office one last time to clean out their desks, they pitched this crazy idea. What if we rented a billboard truck to advertise how to get in touch with @propublica.org? So we did.

As expected, Trump is overplaying his hand.
A majority of voters voted against him becoming president.
And that was with him lying that Project 2025 wasn't his agenda.
Had he run honestly on his plans to implement Project 2025, he would have lost.
There's no mandate for what we're seeing.
