The face of evil
In October, we published secret recordings of Project 2025 architect Russell Vought discussing plans to eviscerate entire agencies and decimate the morale of federal workers if Trump won a second term.
It's hard to imagine a more prescient piece of journalism.

The October Story That Outlined Exactly What the Trump Administration Would Do to the Federal Bureaucracy

Curious how "Trump playing 18-dimensional chess" is indistinguishable from "Trump didn't think this through."

Trump floats plan for undocumented farm and hotel workers to work legally in the U.S.
The president's comments suggested a vague plan that would allow the government to bring back "great" people who are "working hard" and who "go out ... in a nice way."

Target, warhead, timing - that's Top Secret.
Hegseth (SecDef), Gabbard (DNI), Mike Walz (APNSA) are all in positions where they absolutely should have known. EVERY ONE OF THEM is a retired military officer. They knew this was a violation from their military service.
They are lying.

Watching crime dramas and believing you know for sure that any crime can be solved in one hour isn't anywhere close to as ridiculous as believing that DOGE is rooting out waste, fraud, and abuse.

NOAA is the premier agency in the entire world for understanding anthropogenic climate change. Of course the pro-ignorance, pro-grifter MAGAs want to sabotage or dismantle it a la Project 2025.
DOGE is reportedly threatening NOAA with massive staff and budget cuts.
NOAA houses the National Weather Service and National Hurricane Center, which produce forecasts and warn people about storms.
This attack on public safety is ripped straight from the pages of Project 2025.

You remember when every when every MAGA on FB was bleating what they had been spoon-fed by FOX; namely, that Trump has nothing to do with Project 2025? You remember that? Yea, that was bullshit.
