All my life I have studied democratization and autocratization. My 1st field trip was to newly democratic Argentina. I then added autocracies to my portfolio: Cuba, Ven, etc. I think I can recognize the stages of transition to authoritarianism. Here are the boxes checked off.
If you wanted to cut waste, fraud, and abuse, you would empower the inspectors general.
If you wanted more waste, fraud, and abuse, you would fire them.
The Pentagon just announced that it would double the number of news organizations removed from physical offices to make room for MAGA propaganda media outlets.

They’re establishing state-run media, just as totalitarian regimes do.
Buried in the flurry of Executive Orders last night is one that halts all funding from the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law.
Yes, the law that Republicans and Democrats came together to pass that fixes our roads, modernizes old bridges, and makes drinking water safer.
So far today, we have:

So, let me see if I have this straight - you maga meatheads went from “America First/America Only” to “Hell yeah we want Canada, Panama and Greenland/Manifest Destiny baby!” in the span of like a few fucking weeks, and none y’all gives a fuck about eggs or immigrants anymore?
Trump wants to give the 5 largest grocery companies in America 1.7 billion dollars by lowering the corporate tax rate to 15%. This is coming after they made a record 29 billion dollars in profits while millions suffered the high prices.

I tried. We tried.
I tried to educate people about tariffs, I tried to explain that undocumented immigrants pay billions in taxes and are the foundation of this country.
I explained Project 2025, I interviewed to show that they supported it.
