Trump’s move to have Elon Musk step aside wasn’t a retreat. It was a distraction. With Musk’s name out of the headlines, many assumed the controversial Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) had quietly ended. It hasn’t. It’s just changed hands.

The bill provides for $160 billion in border and immigration funding in the next 4.5 years. It's difficult to describe the unprecedented scope of this, but I'll try: tens of thousands of armed agents in every corner of society are going to be virtually immune from state prosecution or civil suits.

Trump’s “One Big Beautiful Bill” is Project 2025 in legislative form. Here’s how it quietly turns a far-right wishlist into federal law:
- Sec. 10008 - Expands work requirements for SNAP
- Project 2025: Pushes “moral reform” to make low-income people work more for food assistance.
- Sec. 10008 - Expands work requirements for SNAP

The Trump admin is dismantling Freedom of Information Act offices. Then the offices send out emails like, “Hello, the FOIA office has been placed on admin leave and is unable to respond to any emails.” The lengths this admin will go to ensure zero transparency with the American people is astounding.

They want to keep us dumb and in the dark- this is not even 0.01% of the federal budget!! Cut military spending.
DOGE has now turned its sights on a small agency that provides support for community programs in every state. The National Endowment for the Humanities, which funds museums, historic sites, libraries, educators and media outlets across the country, has been told to slash staff by 70-80 percent.🧵

It would be a shame if they got so many emails that they couldn't track all the polluter requests 😈
