I was excited to read a detailed plan. I have to say that it was disappointing that this essay was 95% what we already know Trump is successfully doing. I’d love to see a plan other than protests or grassroots union-building— those are good but we need a media blitz to destroy Trump now.

Last week, Elon Musk appeared alongside Trump in the Oval to defend the work of DOGE.
Looking directly at Musk, Trump asked; “Could you mention some of the things *your team* has found?”
Tonight, the government claimed that Musk isn’t in charge of DOGE & isn’t a DOGE employee.
