“We’re living in the manifestation of Project 2025.” Just 8 months into Trump’s presidency, a significant amount of Project 2025’s policies are in effect. And now, “they’re gonna do it all over again” warns @goangelo.bsky.social in conversation with @davidpepperoh.bsky.social #Velshi
We warned you about Project 2025. Well, it’s here…
Day by day, Project 2025 is being written into existence by the Trump administration and its allies in Congress. And there’s another plan in the works as conservatives prepare to “do it all over again,” says Angelo Carusone, chair and president of Media Matters for America.

NEW: Frustrated by oil companies mysteriously withholding large amounts of royalties, North Dakota mineral owners lobbied for change.

Instead, lawmakers provided an oversight program that, owners say, fails to address the issue it was created to solve.

Senate Ds did fight every step of way, made the bill toxic, forced Tillis to retire, made them vote in broad daylight as bill got worse, nixed some truly awful parts. They need more members. In 2026, vote out every R. That is what the lesson is here.

"So here we are, 2025, and the Senate is about to pass a bill that taxes wind and solar while subsidizing coal."

@wyden.senate.gov calls out the disastrous Republican Big Ugly Bill that would gut clean energy jobs and increase prices.

"It is so backward, it leaves you slack-jawed."

1 in 4 nursing homes will shut down. Who will take care of all those people? Are you ready to do 24/7 home heath care for your aging parents and grandparents? This is what the Republicans are putting on us.
If Trump’s Big Ugly Bill passes, 1 in 4 nursing homes will shut down.

That’s thousands of vulnerable seniors displaced—no care, no beds, nowhere to go.

All so the rich get richer.

This isn’t budgeting—it’s abandonment. #WeWontGetOverLosingMedicaid

Trump's style is a blend of extreme disenchantment & extreme enchantment. His statement here is true, but historically leaders have been coy about this stuff. It's all been part of the dance of diplomacy, but Trump just says it.

OTOH, MAGA itself is a bizarre mirage of enchanting lies about J6, etc
BARTIROMO: China hacked into our telecom system, they've been stealing intellectual property, fentanyl, covid, all of this stuff. How do you negotiate w/ an obvious bad actor?

TRUMP: You don't think we do that to them? We do. We do a lot of things. That's the way the world works. It's a nasty world
