When this nightmare is over (please, dear God, let it be soon,) the entire HERITAGE FOUNDATION should be sued for treason. It is responsible for Project 2025, the state of SCOTUS, the indoctrination of Vance, etc. The HF is an anti-American threat.

Tom Homan investigated for accepting $50,000 from FBI agents. Trump's DOJ shut it down.

If a president wanted to become effectively a dictator, he’d likely:
1. Purge govt of non loyalists
2. Weaponize law against opponents
3. Use military to police opposition strongholds
4. Threaten media, schools, businesses w penalties to get them to heel
5. Change election rules in his favor.

A rainbow crosswalk in Orlando that was part of the city’s Pulse Memorial was painted over by the state last night at the order of Ron DeSantis.
The memorial honored the 49 people fatally shot by a gunman at the Pulse LGBTQ nightclub in 2016 — the largest mass shooting in the country at the time.

The Institute of Education Sciences lost 90% of its staff. Combined with the contract terminations, the federal research infrastructure in education is on life support.
Per Friends of BLS, Bureau of Labor Statistics has lost 20% of its staff since Jan, including 1/3 of leadership.
As I wrote in July, I requested these figures at least a dozen times from BLS/DOL. They blew me off. Other agencies have sustained similar losses
