trump combats 'woke' education with shiny executive pen
Trump signs away on education reforms with a pen mightier than logic, flanked by his loyal cabinet of innovation masterminds.
Trump, in his infinite wisdom, signed a slew of executive actions aimed at turning American education into a new conservative utopia. Among the highlights? Reining in those pesky accreditors who dare to impose those wild DEI standards that promote things like 'inclusivity' and 'equality.' After all, nothing screams quality education like a homogenous, ideologically pure academic environment. In other words, let's make American education great again by gutting it.
Not to be outdone, Education Secretary Linda McMahon triumphantly claimed that these changes will usher in a golden age of 'critical innovations' like more competition in the accreditation market—because if there's one thing higher education needs, it's a higher dose of capitalism. But sure, let's pretend this is about intellectual diversity and not about punishing anyone who disagrees with Trump's worldview. Fascism never looked so educational!

trump: rewriting history one museum at a time
Welcome to the Smithsonian! Now featuring curated exhibits on what some *really* wish history looked like.
In a move worthy of its own museum exhibit on historical irony, President Trump has signed an executive order to 'restore' American history by dismantling any trace of 'divisive race-centered ideology' from the Smithsonian. Because nothing says unifying like banning discussions of race.
The order, charmingly titled 'Restoring Truth and Sanity to American History,' mandates Vice President Vance and his merry band of revisionists to ensure that our nation's capital becomes a hub for sanitized narratives that celebrate the achievements of women—as long as they don't 'recognize men as women,' of course. In other words, history should be as whitewashed as a Florida textbook.
So, if you've been dying to see some Confederate statues polished up and re-erected, or perhaps a new collection celebrating the 'achievements' of Manifest Destiny, Trump's got you covered. But sure, it's those pesky educators and historians who are the real problem.

trump's war on diversity: block lifted, chaos resumes
Trump lands in Palm Beach to personally oversee the end of inclusivity, because who needs diversity when you have Mar-a-Lago?
In a shockingly consistent move for the Trump administration, an appeals court has decided to lift the block on Trump's executive orders that aim to eviscerate diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) programs. Finally, someone is looking out for those truly underserved demographics: the privileged and the powerful.
Because nothing quite says 'democracy' like undermining initiatives that aim to address the impacts of systemic racism. In other words, why promote equity when you can just promote... well, anything else?
Let's not forget, these executive orders were penned on Trump's very first day back in the White House, because apparently nothing else was more pressing than making sure federal contractors aren't too inclusive. But sure, let's keep pretending it's all part of a larger strategy to 'align federal spending with the president's priorities.'

Trump Administration's Firing Frenzy Hits a Legal Brick Wall

In a shocking twist of what the Trump administration hoped would be a no-holds-barred massacre of federal workers, U.S. District Judge William Alsup has ruled that the mass firings initiated by the Office of Personnel Management were about as legal as a three-dollar bill. I mean, who needs legal authority when you can just **eliminate** jobs based on a whim, right? Tens of thousands of employees—some yielding top-notch performance reviews—found themselves in the unemployment line courtesy of **government incompetence** masquerading as fiscal responsibility. Meanwhile, the OPM, apparently under the delusion that they’re running a game of Monopoly, couldn’t grasp even the **most basic** regulations, prompting a judge to intervene like a parent at a playground brawl. So now, we await a hero's return for these unjustly discarded workers—assuming the administration can even be bothered to comply with the *rule of law* this time around.

Trump’s **“America First” diplomacy now includes looting Ukraine’s resources** in exchange for past U.S. aid, because apparently **defending democracy isn’t free—but pillaging a war-torn country is.** After calling Zelensky a **“dictator”** and siding with **Russia and North Korea** at the U.N., Trump is now demanding **Ukraine hand over its minerals, oil, and gas**—because nothing says **support for an ally** like a 19th-century-style **imperial shakedown.**

trump's press freedom: just marketing
White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt masters the art of spin in the Brady Briefing Room, proving that redefining the press is just another day in this thriving democracy.
In a bold move to redefine 'free press', the Trump White House has decided that it knows best who should cover its every groundbreaking move. Because nothing says freedom like a White House-approved press pool. Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt assured us that this isn't about stifling criticism—it's about returning power to the people, or at least those who have 'never been allowed to share in this awesome responsibility'. Move over, Associated Press, and make room for Gateway Pundit and Lindell TV, the true guardians of journalistic integrity. Meanwhile, the AP's lawsuit over being unceremoniously booted has Judge Trevor McFadden, a Trump appointee, questioning why the media thinks it has a say in covering the President. In other words, democracy's fine as long as it doesn't question Dear Leader.

court backs trump's renaming tantrum
Trump's administration, single-handedly renaming bodies of water one executive order at a time.
In a shocking twist for democracy, a federal judge has decided that the Associated Press can continue to be banished from Trump-related events because they won’t play along with the latest geographical rebranding craze: renaming the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America. Because nothing screams 'freedom' like forcing journalists to use state-approved names, right?
Judge Trevor McFadden, a Trump appointee (surprise!), wasn't convinced that calling out this absurdity was urgent enough to require an immediate reversal. After all, who needs firsthand reporting when you can just recycle whatever propaganda other outlets are spoon-fed? The judge did, however, wag a finger at past precedent, hinting that the White House might want to reconsider its approach.
The White House, clutching their hollow victory like a participation trophy, insists that access to the president is a 'privilege'—because apparently, in Trump's America, the First Amendment is just a suggestion.

The administration is gearing up to hijack the U.S. Postal Service, firing its governing board and stuffing the 250-year-old institution under the Commerce Department—because what’s another public service to plunder? Enter Secretary Howard Lutnick, a Wall Street billionaire with “great business instinct” (aka, a privatization agenda). Postal experts are already calling the move illegal, but when has that ever mattered? Meanwhile, the Postal Board is lawyering up to fight the takeover, and even some GOP members are mysteriously MIA. With 70% of Americans viewing USPS favorably, it’s no shock that Trump has long resented it—first starving it of funding, then calling it Amazon’s “Delivery Boy.” Now, he’s skipping the sabotage and going straight for a hostile takeover. Because nothing screams ‘populist’ like selling off public services to corporate cronies.

americans dont like the fact trump is doing the things he said he would do, way to pay attention what the fuck
president muskrat talks to the press
Trump’s second-term blitz to shrink the federal government and centralize power is flopping with the public, as 57% say he’s overstepping his authority and a majority oppose key policies like mass deportations, agency shutdowns, and Musk’s unchecked access to government data. While Republicans overwhelmingly support him, independents are split, and his approval remains underwater at 45%-53%. Americans overwhelmingly oppose his pardons for Jan. 6 rioters, his DEI purge, and efforts to slash federal jobs, but a slim majority backs his immigration crackdowns. His tariffs on Canada and Mexico are unpopular, but his China tariffs squeak by with narrow support. Despite his "America First" economic rhetoric, 73% say the economy is in bad shape, and even Republicans are starting to feel the sting. Meanwhile, Musk’s leadership at DOGE is polling worse than Trump himself, as most Americans don’t trust his cost-cutting crusade and suspect he’s gutting critical programs, not just waste.

The Trump administration just told a federal judge it won’t comply with a court order to restore USAID and State Department foreign aid, because apparently, the law only applies when it’s convenient. A judge had mandated that existing contracts and grants continue, but Trump’s team has flat-out refused, throwing life-saving programs into chaos. This move comes after his administration already froze USAID funds, derailing global humanitarian efforts and even crippling HIV treatment programs in Africa. But sure, let’s pretend this is about "America First"—right after we explain how gutting foreign aid somehow makes us safer.

cheetolini announces himself king
if joe biden came out in public dressed like this fucking clown conservative media would have lost their minds
Trump has officially declared himself the sole authority on the law. In a new executive order, Trump has centralized legal interpretation within the executive branch, claiming that only the president and attorney general can decide what the law is. This power grab extends to independent regulatory agencies like the FTC and FCC, forcing them to submit regulations for White House review, effectively eliminating their autonomy. Legal scholars are sounding the alarms, warning that this move tramples on checks and balances and pushes the U.S. closer to a unitary executive where Congress and the courts barely matter. But sure, tell us again how Trump respects the Constitution—right after he rewrites it to make himself the only judge that matters.

because renaming water fixes everything
President Trump, the *great cartographer*, redefines geographical reality from the comfort of Air Force One.
Welcome to Trump's America, where geography is now a matter of national security and creative rebranding. In a stunning move of legislative brilliance, the White House has banned the Associated Press from events because they dared to use the historically accurate name 'Gulf of Mexico' instead of Trump's newly minted 'Gulf of America'. Because nothing says restoring American greatness like pretending bodies of water have ever cared about borders.
Karoline Leavitt, Trump's chief spokesperson, clarified that covering the White House is a 'privilege', and only those who adhere to the administration's reality-bending demands deserve access. In other words, play by our rules or get benched, AP! Meanwhile, the AP stands firm, refusing to succumb to governmental whims and reminding everyone that geography is not up for debate. But sure, let's rename the Gulf while real issues like government efficiency (thanks, Musk) and international diplomacy simmer in the background.

these weak ass b*tches hired an army of incel idiots
incelius prime being a creepy fucking weirdo
Ah, the tech titans' latest masterstroke: infiltrating the government with their own disciples. Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) has been busy recruiting young engineers through online chat groups and Discord servers linked to Palantir and its co-founder, Peter Thiel. I guess "efficient government" means a bunch of tech bros with zero public service experience. These recruits, some as young as 19, are now embedded in federal agencies, wielding access to sensitive data. But don't worry, they're here to "modernize" things—by slashing budgets and gutting regulations. After all, who better to streamline democracy than the guys who brought you targeted ads and data mining?

wish.com fascists tear down agency responsible for protecting consumers and saving them billions in junk fees
the cfpb - one of the best agencies ive ever personally dealt with
Elon Musk and Trump teaming up to dismantle the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau is exactly what happens when billionaires and wannabe authoritarians get together: the people get screwed. Musk, now apparently a federal “efficiency” czar (because why not?), has set his sights on gutting the CFPB—the agency that’s spent years protecting consumers from financial scams, predatory lenders, and corporate abuse. His big idea? Just delete it. Trump, naturally, is on board, installing loyalists to freeze investigations, block regulations, and leave Americans defenseless against the very banks and financial institutions the CFPB was designed to keep in check. But sure, tell us more about how this is all about “deregulation” and not just another grift to let corporations run wild while working people get fleeced.

whiny bitch conservatives throw a f*cking bitch fit over dems trying to subpoena the first lady elonia musk
my representative, and spineless piece of shit james groomer
Ah yes, the GOP—staunch defenders of law and order (unless it involves their billionaire buddies). The moment Democrats tried to subpoena Elon Musk to testify about how he’s dismantling federal agencies like a toddler with a sledgehammer, Republicans lost their collective minds like a bunch of whiny, overcaffeinated fanboys. Suddenly, the party that demanded endless hearings on Benghazi, Hunter Biden’s laptop, and whatever else Fox News told them was important decided that accountability was deep-state overreach. Instead of asking why an unelected tech bro is seizing control of federal payment systems, delaying critical funds, and handing out government access to his inner circle, the GOP rushed to shield their Space Karen overlord from scrutiny. Because why investigate corruption when you can just let Musk run the government like his own personal plaything? The tantrum was as predictable as it was pathetic—a party that once screamed about corporate elites now bending over backwards to protect the richest man on Earth from answering a few basic questions about why he’s holding the government hostage. But hey, it’s not about democracy or oversight—it’s about keeping the billionaire class happy while the rest of us watch our institutions get looted in broad daylight.

unelected moron siezes more us payment infrastructure
worlds dumbest rich person, fucking lame
Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE)—which, let’s be honest, is just Silicon Valley kleptocracy with a meme face—has now seized control of the HHS Payment Management System, the financial backbone that distributes nearly $1 trillion a year in federal grants. That money funds the NIH, CDC, and countless public health initiatives, but now? It’s in the hands of Luke Farritor, a Musk crony who’s already delaying payments like he’s some dystopian overlord deciding who deserves healthcare today. And this isn’t some isolated oopsie. DOGE has already wormed its way into Treasury’s payment systems, which handle Social Security and Medicare disbursements—because apparently, we’re all cool with an unelected tech bro having a “read-only” peek at grandma’s Social Security check. Treasury claims DOGE can’t mess with payments (yet), but funny how that’s exactly what they said about HHS right before payments started mysteriously “delaying.” This is Musk's empire-building by force, dressed up as “efficiency.” They aren’t streamlining government; they’re looting it. And like any good heist crew, they’re banking on nobody stopping them until it’s too late.

why is it always the weakest fucking turds that think theyre the shit
In a move that would make Nixon blush, Elon Musk is reportedly attempting to dismantle the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) just as it begins scrutinizing his company's Starlink equipment. According to The Lever, USAID had previously partnered with SpaceX to deliver 5,000 Starlink terminals to Ukraine. Now, as USAID probes into this deal, Musk's push to shut down the agency seems more than coincidental. Workers are fighting back, invoking longstanding privacy laws to counter this brazen power play.

Ah yes, the ol’ “just walk in and take control” method of governance. Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency (Doge)—because nothing says efficiency like storming federal agencies unannounced—reportedly waltzed into NOAA headquarters demanding access to IT systems. This tracks, considering Project 2025 already has NOAA on its hit list for daring to provide public climate data instead of funneling it to private corporations. Because who needs life-saving weather forecasts when we could be paying a premium for hurricane alerts? Former NOAA official Andrew Rosenberg summed it up best: they have no authority, no transparency, and no plan—except to bulldoze, dare anyone to stop them, and hope the damage is irreversible. Classic smash-and-grab governance. Meanwhile, NOAA staff, marine conservationists, and anyone with a functioning brain are pointing out that gutting the agency will lead to overfishing, increased seafood fraud, and, oh yeah, fewer storm warnings—so good luck with that next tornado outbreak. As for NOAA? They’re deferring questions to the Department of Commerce, which, in true government efficiency fashion, is responding with the digital equivalent of a blank stare.

David A. Lebryk, the highest-ranking career official at the U.S. Treasury Department, just retired abruptly after a reported clash with elmos “Department of Government Efficiency” (DOGE) - stupid fucking name by the way - over access to the federal payment system—aka the infrastructure that handles $6 trillion in transactions for Social Security, Medicare, tax refunds, and government contracts. elmo surrogates have apparently been pushing for direct access to the system since the election, and with fascist freddy's executive order mandating “full access” for DOGE, that push just got a lot more aggressive. Why exactly they want their hands on the nation’s financial arteries? Unclear. But given elmos history of playing fast and loose with power, legal experts are sounding the alarm. As one former Treasury official put it: “This is a mechanical job… it’s never been used to execute a partisan agenda.” Until now. With Musk’s growing influence over the administration—and his newfound obsession with slashing government spending—this fight over who controls America’s money is just getting started. We are so cooked

trump's diversity purge: making the military great again?
Trump signs away diversity with a flourish, because nothing says 'unit cohesion' like pretending systemic issues don't exist.
President Trump, in his unparalleled quest for a merit-based military, has signed an executive order to eradicate those pesky diversity, equity, and inclusion programs. Because nothing says 'combat readiness' like ignoring systemic issues and reverting to the good ol' days of monochrome leadership. In other words, if it ain't broke, break it and call it a win.
Not to be outdone, Trump's order also mandates that the military stop teaching about America's 'racist or sexist' founding documents—history? who needs it!—and instead sing praises of these documents as the greatest force for good in the world. Meanwhile, Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth has 90 days to find the DEI programs hiding in the Pentagon's broom closet and report back. Here's to solving military issues with the wisdom of 'just don't talk about it.'
