    We are at the point in the honoring-Charlie-Kirk's-memory cycle when faculty are being fired for posting, without comment, Charlie Kirk's words. At the behest of politicians sworn to uphold the first amendment, and in public institutions covered by first amendment protections.

    When you put it like this, a $75 million bribe to Melania and gutting the Washington Post seems like a small price to pay.

    Thanks to the OBBB, Amazon’s tax bill for 2025 is $1.2 billion, down from $9 billion the year before despite a 45% jump in profits.
    Amazon's tax bill plunges after GOP tax cuts
    The 87 percent drop is largely due to a more generous depreciation break in the 'One Big Beautiful Bill Act.'

    I am begging the national media to start taking this seriously.

    Stop buying the claims that the framing of "temporary" or "pause."

    They are altering the review processes of federally funded scientific research from merit-based peer review processes to political screening by ideologues.

    NEW — OMB temporarily pauses all agency grants and loans programs. Per copy of memo: "The use of Federal resources to advance Marxist equity, transgenderism, and green new deal social engineering policies is a waste of taxpayer dollars that does not improve the day-to-day lives of those we serve."
    SUBJECT: Temporary Pause of Agency Grant, Loan, and Other Financial Assistance Programs 'The American people elected Donald J. Trump to be President of the United States and gave him a mandate to increase the impact of every federal taxpayer dollar. In Fiscal Year 2024. of the nearly $10 trillion that the Federal Government spent, more than $3 trillion was Federal financial assistance, such as grants and loans. Career and political appointees in the Executive Branch have a duty to align Federal spending and action with the will of the American people as expressed through Presidential priorities. Financial assistance should be dedicated to advancing Administration priorities, focusing taxpayer dollars to advance a stronger and safer America, eliminating the financial burden of inflation for citizens, unleashing American energy and manufacturing, ending wokeness" and the weaponization of government, promoting efficiency in government, and Making America Healthy Again. The use of Federal resources to advance Marxist equity, transgenderism, and green new deal social engineering policies is a waste of taxpayer dollars that does not improve the day-to-day lives of those we serve. This memorandum requires Federal agencies to identify and review all Federal financial assistance programs and supporting activities consistent with the President's policies and requirements. For example, during the initial days of his Administration, President Donald J Trump issued a series of executive orders to protect the American people and safeguard valuable taxpayer resources, including Protecting the American People Against Invasion (Jan. 20, 2025). Reevaluating and Realigning United States Foreign Aid (Jan 20, 2025), Putting America First in International Environmental Agreements (Jan. 20, 2025). Unleashing American Energy (Jan. 20. 2025). Ending Radical and Wasteful Government DEI Programs and Preferencing (Jan. 20. ent these orders, each agency must complete a comprehensive analysis of all jal assistance programs to identify programs, projects, and activities that any of the President's executive orders. In the interian, to the extent applicable law, Federal agencies must temporarily pause all activities related disbursement of all Federal financial assistance, and other relevant agency nay be implicated by the executive orders, including, but not limited to, financial surice tot foreign nongovernmental organizations, DEL woke gender ideology, and the pause will provide the Administration time to review agency programs of the funding for those programs consistent with the law and the he temporary pause will become effective on January 28, 2025, at 5:00 rehensive analysis. Federal agencies must immediately deadlines for assistance programs arising while the les must report this information to OMB along with an directs Federal agencies to pause all activities associated conducting merit review panels No later than Febrar - 10. 2025, agencies shail submit to OMB detailed information on any programs projects or activities subject to this pause. Each agency must pause.

    I think journalists, policymakers and good govt types are struggling to understand DOGE because their mental model is that it is a government reform commission, operating like previous ones. Maybe. But it might be better to start thinking about it as a hostile takeover of the govt by oligarchs.

    Shout out to the media who participated in the most obvious misdirection ever

    USA Today fact check saying Project 2025 is from the Heritage Foundation, not Donald Trump
    Don Moynihan @donmoyn.bsky.social
    The Executive Orders rolling out today were part of Project 2025, the part that was never made public, overseen by Russ Vought. open.substack.com/pub/donmoyni...
    The Washington Post had already reported that Vought had been assigned responsibility for implementing a secret “180-Day Playbook” to make Project 2025 a reality, and enacting this vision of a Christian nationalist state in a post-constitutional environment. While the existence of the playbook has also been confirmed by other reporters, the content of actual plans continue to remain secret. However, we can predict that much of this work centers on not just using Schedule F to fire career employees in order to make the bureaucracy as subservient to Trump as the Republican Party has become, but finding other ways to undermine the administrative state. Vought told the undercover reporters: Eighty percent of my time is working on plans of whats necessary to take control of these bureaucracies. I want to be the person that crushes the deep state. I think there are a lot of different ways to do that. Its defunding it. Its impoundment, the ability to not spend money. It’s getting rid of their independence.

    If you are visiting the United States, having a negative view of Trump is enough to get you denied entry.
    If this was coming out of Russia or China, we would deplore such an authoritarian attack on freedom of expression.

    "I learned with concern that a French researcher" on assignment for the French National Center for Scientific Research (CNRS) "who was traveling to a conference near Houston was denied entry to the United States before being expelled ," said the Minister of Higher Education and Research, Philippe Baptiste, in a statement sent to Agence France-Presse (AFP). "This measure was apparently taken by the American authorities because the researcher's phone contained exchanges with colleagues and friends in which he expressed a personal opinion on the Trump administration's research policy ," he added

    This is an echo of the general election. The trans Democrat is blamed for "sparking" the crisis despite the fact she did nothing beyond be herself.

    Before she arrived to DC, or made any demands, the GOP preemptively turned her identity into a political issue.

    So, who is doing identity politics?
