There's A LOT in this piece but what really jumps out is how everyone is running away from DOGE as fast as they possibly can. It looks like those town halls filled with voters angry about DOGE weren't the outliers the GOP insisted they were....
News: Republicans are finally seeing an opening to distance themselves from DOGE, even though people inside the White House don't know where it goes from here.

If a foreign adversary snuck into our Federal budget and cut science research and education the way we’re cutting it ourselves — strategically undermining America’s long-term health, wealth, and security — we would likely consider it an act of war.

Adding $2.5 trillion to federal debt, gutting Medicaid and health care, trashing Meals on Wheels, Head Start and SNAP, and cutting a giant tax break to benefit the wealthiest people and corporations. Trump could not be offering us a worse program.

Trump to staffer: “What does that word even mean?”
Staffer: “What? Groceries? It’s like when you go to the store, buy food, put it in a bag, and take it home.”
Trump: “Call me ‘sir’. So is that like a new word?”
Staffer: “No, sir… it’s old.”

See, there's a big dial that candidates can turn from "left" to "moderate," and when they do so they will be richly rewarded by the 0.00001% of voters, all in blue states, who are professional centrist pundits.
Actual swing voters will shrug at the loser energy then vote to make their lives worse.

RFK Jr talking about the need for doctors to know how to treat measles for those who are unvaccinated.
“Only very sick kids should die from measles.”
No. They shouldn’t. That was the point of the vaccine. We eradicated the virus so children didn’t die.
Sick & disabled kids are not expendable!

Martin Diaz came to the U.S. as a toddler, fleeing cartel violence with his family. They had proof of the danger—a letter from a Michoacán official. He married a U.S. citizen & was advancing his visa.
Then ICE showed up at his home in Spokane: no warrant, no ID
