They're dismantling (what remains of) the social safety net and replacing it with a dragnet instead.

Elon—the richest man on Earth—is gutting the world’s largest provider of food aid. He could end world hunger single-handedly and still be the richest man alive. But he won’t.
Instead, he spent 40 million on Super Bowl ads attacking USAID!

True. And Fox News is all they drink from.
The average Fox News viewer has no idea that Musk is tearing down a system that allowed this country to rule the world for the past 75 years. And when their standard of living slips dramatically in the next five years they still won’t understand because their TV will blame it on some poor scapegoat.

New via NYT — The CIA sent the White House an unclassified email listing all employees hired by the spy agency over the last two years to comply with an executive order to shrink the federal work force. One former agency officer called the reporting of names a “counterintelligence disaster.”

Draw your own conclusions, but Donald Trump is not behaving like a leader who expects democratic accountability for himself or his party next year or in 2028.

Donald Trump's January 6 pardons are significant not only for who is released from prison specifically, but for the message they send, Ali Breland writes. "Radical militias are free to act with impunity—as long as they’re loyal to Trump."
