Project 2025 was unpopular because of things like the plan for Trump to shut down the CFPB, which helps you get your money back if a bank cheats you.

I’m excited for fake agency DOGE to get to the Space X and Tesla contracts worth billions. That will save a ton!

JFK on why he founded USAID.

“The economic collapse of those free but less-developed nations which now stand poised between sustained growth and economic chaos would be disastrous to our national security, harmful to our comparative prosperity and offensive to our conscience”.

Exactly why @bsky.app is so important. Engaging on this platform is important. As is growing this platform.

Which one of these men joins Tom Anderson and MySoace in the annals of history first ?

Their greed is our opportunity.
