Project 25—is mirroring Orbán’s successful takeover of Hungary’s democracy:
1. Purge disloyal employees.
2. Replace them with political allies.
3. Restructure agencies so they serve executive power instead of acting as independent institutions.
4. Move quickly to prevent organized resistance.

Just got a tip from a guy at the FAA. You'll never believe who is still getting new government contracts while all the contracts at the Department of Education and USAID and other agencies are being nuked from orbit.

Musk and his team have hostilely taken over OPM. Tonight’s email to fed employees mirrors the “Fork in the Road” message sent to Twitter (now X) staff after Musk’s 2022 takeover. He is working with the Trump administration to build profiles on federal workers based on loyalty (political standing).

Give Dems a break y’all, their high priced consultants enjoyed their holidays in the Maldives and aren’t fully ready for focus groups yet.
