dems talked about project 2025 but so much of the effort was around "google project 2025" when they should have been saying

When you consider how many didn’t know that Project 2025 was the plan, and that the whole premise behind it was to tax everyone who wasn’t rich, then you have a communications issue (which I blame the democrats consultants for, all of whom should never be let near a candidate again).👇
i think democrats should spend almost all their time cultivating and maintaining the majority of the voting populace who are not fox news junkies. this is not a difficult ask but people love to pretend like its the most impossible thing in the world.

The incredibly corrupt, lawless, & unconstitutional nature of the entire DOGE enterprise requires Elon Musk and lots of other people to spend the rest of their lives in jail.
The Wisconsin component of the analysis here is revealing. Evidence is consistent with DOGE strategically delaying contract terminations in WI until after the 2025 state Supreme Court elections to mitigate electoral risk.

A Exactly.
Q Okay. So this happens to her with the Palm Beach Police Department and did the Palm Beach Police actually present or propose charging [redacted]?
A They did get a probable cause affidavit against [redacted].
Q And is that why Ms. [redacted] and her attorney were concerned about her testimony here?
A Yes.
Q Now was a subpoena issued for Ms. [redacted] on behalf of this grand jury?
A Yes, it was.
Q And before Ms. [redacted] would comply with that, did she -- did her attorney request some sort of order?
A Yes.
