I tried to do a version of this report that @warren.senate.gov did, but gave up. The task was too overwhelming!!
Two-plus full pages, 34 of 130 entries, focus on the regulatory help Musk got after buying the Presidency for Trump. (This is just a selection.)

It's not about crime.
The Washington Examiner (the conservative news outlet) reports that Stephen Miller screamed at ICE officials: "What do you mean you're going after criminals? Why aren't you at Home Depot? Why aren't you at 7-Eleven?" Kinda blows up the narrative that they care about public safety.

Well this is pretty terrifying
I’ve been warning that the Tech Bros want the S.F. Presidio for a “freedom city”. Now this. 👇 1/
Trump issued an executive order to drastically shrink the Presidio Trust, the federal agency overseeing San Francisco’s Presidio, a national park site at the base of the Golden Gate Bridge.

Omg, it happened. I don't know if it will stick, but my Trump supporter friend just admitted he made a mistake. I'm still skeptical whether he will stick with this, but at least for now he sees how this chaos is tearing the country apart.

Is anyone else thinking that all this talk about Greenland, Panama, and Canada is too crazy to be serious and that Trump is just trying to distract us from something else? What are we not focusing on that we should be?
How does Trump think he would “take” the Panama Canal and Greenland?

WHY does this not matter?!?!
It's as I was saying this afternoon: while it's imperative that what's happening with Gaetz be reported, it's more important that some reporting be done on why none of it matters anymore (see second headline below). Trump has poisoned the soul of this country—even 9 years ago this would've mattered.

Let me get this straight. Musk and Ramaswamy, 2 unelected bureaucrats, want the power to reshape government agencies because they're upset the agencies are run by unelected bureaucrats. Do I have that right?

Elon might be persuadable by facts, unlike the rest of maga. Unfortunately when DOGE starts slashing programs, former officials like Pete will not be around to provide rebuttals and Elon will just believe the lies that people like Don Jr tell him.
Secretary Pete Buttigieg owns Musk and Don Jr. like a pro. He shut down this false claim hard.

Even if Trump wasn't lying about knowing about Project 2025, he was always in bed with the people who wrote it. He's already nominated several key authors to his cabinet and now JD Vance is sponsoring a bill to begin to implement it.
Every one of us needs to watch this video of NM Rep Melanie Stansbury giving her clear-eyed view of a bill sponsored by JD Vance in the Senate regarding changes the next administration intends to make to the federal workforce

So the House would release the Ethics report on Gaetz if he was still a Member, but since he’s been nominated to be the chief law enforcement officer for the US with control of every federal law enforcement agency, investigation, and case, they will hide the report. Makes sense.
