Something truly revolutionary is taking place in Washington.
President Donald Trump not only won an election; he’s fundamentally changing the way the federal government does business. Unlike the early days of his first term, Trump is directly targeting the nodes of real power in the nation’s capital. He’s launching a multifront assault on the Regime.
Even Politico, a curiously reliable regime-defending publication, lamented Trump’s ruthless effectiveness.
“Has any incoming administration been better prepared for power?” Politico asked rhetorically. “Never mind the first 100 days—Trump’s team had a battle plan for the first 100 hours, and they executed it with stunning efficacy. From the barrage of executive orders to [the Department of Government Efficiency’s] all-out war on government, it has all been way bigger than anyone foresaw. Rudderless and bewildered, Democrats had no idea how to respond.”
The Left is truly rudderless right now. The Democratic National Committee is still competing in the diversity Olympics. The institutions it has transformed, controlled, and worn like a skin suit for so long have never been so impotent in the face of populist electoral energy.
“The American people will not stand for an unelected secret group to run rampant through the executive branch,” Schumer muttered, while blasting DOGE. “Being innovative is good, but Mr. Musk, this isn’t a tech startup. These are public institutions.”
