SHE CONNECTED THE DOTS BEFORE THE REST OF US EVEN FOUND THE PENCIL

Heather Cox Richardson just handed us the clearest, most unflinching blueprint of how the U.S. government is being dismantled under the second Trump administration—and she backed every word with receipts. Her March 27, 2025 dispatch isn’t analysis. It’s evidence. It’s a field report from the front lines of a soft coup.

The scale of what she wrote felt too outrageous to be real.

Venmo payments with eggplant emojis tied to a Signal chat about bombing the Houthis?

A Department of Government Efficiency that’s already cost the U.S. $500 billion?

The IRS gutted. HHS torched. Social Security collapsing?

Surely this was speculative—some dystopian metaphor.

It wasn’t. Every detail she cited came from real reporting by real journalists in Wired, The Washington Post, Reuters, NBC News, The New York Times, and more.

Richardson didn’t theorize—she documented. And the result is devastating.

Here’s just a fraction of what she laid out:

• DOGE, Elon Musk’s “Department of Government Efficiency,” has cost $500 billion—10% of all IRS revenue from last year.

• 20,000 IRS employees fired, especially in enforcement. Billionaire audits? Gone.

• HHS cut $12 billion in mental health and disease tracking grants, then laid off 10,000 more workers, including 3,500 from the FDA and 2,400 from the CDC.

• Social Security’s website crashed 4 times in 10 days. New rules require in-person ID checks for people without internet.

• A Tufts student was detained by ICE after writing a pro-Palestinian op-ed.

• The Department of Education is being shut down.

• FEMA is next.

• Columbia University had $400 million withheld until it complied with Trump’s cultural directives.

• Mike Johnson is openly floating the idea of eliminating federal courts.

• Words like “climate crisis,” “diversity,” “segregation,” and even “peanut allergies” are being purged from federal communications.

• And J.D. Vance is now in charge of purging the Smithsonian of what the administration calls “anti-American ideology.”

This isn’t dysfunction. It’s doctrine.

It’s Project 2025, written by Russell Vought, now head of the Office of Management and Budget, and championed by Vance, who once said:

“Unless we overthrow [the current ruling class]… we’re going to keep losing."

and

“We really need to be really ruthless when it comes to the exercise of power.”

Heather Cox Richardson took that ruthlessness seriously. She traced it from the eggplant emoji to the ICE van. From the IRS to the Smithsonian. From the layoffs to the list of banned words.

She didn’t write a warning.

She wrote the truth.

And she deserves our full attention.

The Trump administration lashed out at Disney again, demanding the private business prove its ideological purity and devotion to Trump.

The US government agency that regulates television says it is opening an investigation into Disney's diversity and inclusion practices, in the latest sign of pressure being applied to media firms.

Federal Communications Commission (FCC) chairman Brendan Carr sent a letter to Disney on Friday notifying the firm, and its ABC News unit, of the plan.

He said the move had been prompted by concerns that the company was promoting diversity "in a manner that does not comply" with government regulation.

Real conservatives and real libertarians are appalled by government overreach into private businesses, but gullible MAGA sheep fully endorse this kind of authoritarian action.

Does this have something to do with a black mermaid?

So in order to not get your visa revoked, you must not do the things which they haven't told anyone that you shouldn't do.

Just admit you're getting rid of visas so the courts can tell you to fuck off

StateSpox: We’ll revoke the visas of whoever it is that fits within the category of what it is we’re deciding is going to get your visa revoked

Quick poll for the thread participants:

If I told you that there was a room of 35 people and:

• 20 of them were "illegals" who have committed violent crimes
• 5 of them were "illegals" that were hard working and had been here for 20 years.
• 5 of them were.Amerocan citizens with stable hard working jobs.

Would you let the government round up the entire room and send them to El Salvador prison without due process?

Only if the 5 citizens are Republicans.

Just a thought:
I didn't think the project 2025 messaging was focused enough for the common voter prior to the election...I think there were too many things to focus on and all of it sounded hyperbolic to the average voter.

But NOW, regardless of who leads the party, someone needs to put together ads reflecting on what it was versus what he is doing now. Put out ads everywhere and focus on a few things at a time or even just one thing per ad.

Grease the wheels. Now.

This one is simpler than getting Butters to gobble your cawk!

“Yes!”

“Amerocans” can’t be trusted!

By almost every measure, the policies of this administration will make the entire world much worse off than it has been or is now. With the US being at the top of the scale.

Militarily, economically, diplomatically...we will be poorer, we will be hated and our security will be worse than we've ever seen in generations.

All of the above has supporting evidence to a small degree and it will only get worse.

Trump fired NSA director Tim Haugh because he is disloyal to Russia.

Senator Mark Warner, vice-chair of the Senate intelligence committee, said in a statement: “General Haugh has served our country in uniform, with honor and distinction, for more than 30 years. At a time when the United States is facing unprecedented cyber threats … how does firing him make Americans any safer?”

Representative Jim Himes, the ranking member on the House intelligence committee, said he was “deeply disturbed by the decision”.

Defense secretary Pete Hegseth recently ordered the office to pause some offensive cyberoperations against Russia.

The firings came after Trump had disastrously bad sex with freak show performer Laura Loomer.

Trump publicly backs France’s far-right figurehead Le Pen after her conviction

derp.

US President Donald Trump has thrown his support behind another embattled far-right European leader, backing Marine Le Pen after French presidential hopeful was convicted of embezzlement and barred from political office.

“FREE MARINE LE PEN,” Trump wrote on Truth Social on Friday, calling the court ruling a “Witch Hunt.”

Trump is quite consistent in his support for corruption, wherever it happens.

Putin openly interfered in American politics to get President Musk (and DonOld) elected. It isn’t surprising that President Musk (and DonOld) are doing the same.

MAGAs continue their effort to steal an election in North Carolina. The corruption is right out in the open. They are proud to be corrupt.

More than 65,000 people in North Carolina who believed they were eligible to vote could have their ballots thrown out nearly five months after election day, flipping the results of a supreme court election, a state appeals court ruled on Friday.

The 2-1 ruling from the North Carolina court of appeals came in response to Republicans’ months-long effort to overturn the results of the state supreme court election in November. The Democrat Allison Riggs, who currently sits on the court, defeated appellate judge Jefferson Griffin, a Republican, by 734 votes. After the election, Griffin filed a protest seeking to get around 60,000 votes thrown out.

Griffin currently sits on the North Carolina court of appeals – the body that issued Friday’s ruling. A panel of three of his colleagues heard the case.

The Imbecile in Chief continues to make shit up and feed it to his gullible MAGA sheep.



Everything he wrote is bullshit:

• Oil prices are down because the market is pricing in a recession
• Food prices are still rising
• Inflation is still 2.8% (above target rate)
• The US is not “bringing in billions of dollars a week” in tariffs . BiLliOnS a wEeK
• China imposed an actual reciprocal tariff and it made Trump mad
• China’s “markets are crashing” just like US markets are crashing
• “Past leaders” are not to blame for your stupidity, Donnie.

MAGA loon lawyer gets justice

A former Wisconsin state Supreme Court justice who spread election conspiracies and led an investigation into President Donald Trump’s 2020 loss in the swing state agreed Monday to surrender his law license to settle multiple misconduct violations.

 

[MajorRewrite]

Trump signed an Executive Order directing the DOJ to investigate two men who wrote books about the moronic bullshit that happened in Trump’s first administration.

It’s undisguised authoritarian rule. If you speak out about Trump, he will use the government to persecute you.
